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.

This review is from: Pulsar Women's PTC288 Watch (Watch)

This watch exceeded my expectations. It doesn't appear as wide as it does in the picture (which I was glad of). The width of the case is just shy of 2 cm (not including the crown). Beware though that the strap is glossy, not matte as it appears in the photo. The strap is pretty sturdy and stiff.

I'm glad I didn't spend more for this watch. It's quite small, the strap is a bit skimpy, too. However, it does keep good time..which many other watches can do as well. I'm trying to be more careful when choosing another watch.

The watch strap is glossier than what is indicated in the picture. I was worried that the watch may be too wide, but the case is about 18mm wide and it has a sleek appearance. The case has a gorgeous, classic look, and the strap is very sturdy (perhaps even too stiff, but this may lessen over time). Overall, considering the price, I'm very happy with this watch.
