Product Description

The Pulsar Story

Pulsar by Seiko Holdings Corporation.

A spectacular breakthrough

Pulsar was born in an age of optimism. In the 1970's, everything seemed achievable through the rapidly growing technological expertise at the world's fingertips. Space flight had been converted from dream to reality, computer science was developing at break neck speed and electronics seemed to deliver new advances every day. Pulsar symbolized the age. It was new and it was bold, it was surprising and it was different. Pulsar, the world's first electronic digital watch, created a sensation when it was unveiled in New York in 1972 and it changed the world's perception of time.

A tradition of difference

When the brand was taken into the Seiko Corporation in 1980, it brought further surprises to the world; the first calculator watch in 1980 and the first all-quartz watch line in 1981 were among its industry-leading achievements. And throughout the '80's and 90's Pulsar continued to bring to market new products that were born to be different. The Avant-garde collection in 1980's set a new style in women's watches and Spoon in 1990's were unique designs which further cemented Pulsar's image as an ingenious and surprising watchmaker.

Towards a modernist future

Today, Pulsar remains loyal to its heritage. It was born to be different and it will remain so. Each Pulsar watch has the hint of the futurism and modernity that have always been its hallmark. Pulsar is a brand for the individual who appreciates real value and seeks quality with individuality and flair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great dressed up digital watch, October 7, 2008

By 

Greenhorn (Missouri) - See all my reviews

I've only had this watch for less than a week now but I'm very happy with the purchase. The watch seems to have been built well and it looks pretty sharp. The manual could have been written alot better but once you start playing with the buttons it's pretty easy to go through your options. The light works very well and your choices are between amber or blue for the light. One of the feaures I really like is that it's easy to change between time zones. After the time is set and you have choosen your home city (time zone) you can go out into the menu (by hitting the mode button) and select the World Time (in menu scroll by pressing one of the right buttons until World Time is displayed in the middle of the screen and press the mode button again to select the option) then select the city (time zone) you want, then go back to the Time mode. When you press and hold the lower right button the time will toggle between your time zone and the one selected on the World Time mode. Really the only things I would change about this watch is that I would prefer the month to be before the day of the week and I would also like the am and pm to be bigger since all the other numbers are big. I hope this review helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars BIG watch but lots of functions..., November 9, 2008

By 

Digital Immigrant (Delaware USA) - See all my reviews

I had for years a pulsar digital watch that I liked so much that when it "cratered," I was quite sad. I couldn't find an identical replacement. Fortunately, I happened to see the same watch in a store window during a trip to Singapore, snapped it up and had another nine years of satisfaction. When it finally bit the dust, I discovered that Pulsar no longer made the same model but ordered another that had the alarm, count-down alarm, stop watch, and second chronograph to use when traveling in other time zones. In fact this one had five alarm settings and could be easily set up for time zones by selecting a major city in that zone. However it was quite a shock when it arrived; it is much larger than the other watch, something that could not be ascertained by the picture of the watch with nothing else around it for comparison.

I am wearing and getting used to its bulk, although the other was less ostentatious.

Setting and using all the functions has taken time to assimilate, even with the instruction book. However, it does work well. One good thing about the size, and the font for the numbers, is that I don't have to find my glasses to read the time! The band had to be adjusted by a jeweler, at a reasonable price, and is very attractive.

All in all, in spite of the size surprise, I'm satisfied with the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 99$ digital out there., July 18, 2008

By 

early rocker (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Great looking watch with large readouts. Tons of functions that with a little practice become easy to use. Best stopwatch I ever had on a wristwatch. One again the readouts are big and thats exactly what I needed. Keeps perfect time also.
