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 A beautiful, tough as nails, functional watch, August 4, 2006

This watch is probably the best quartz watch that I have ever owned- bar none, including Seiko watches costing 3 to 4 times as much. It's accurate to the second, of course, and has taken all kinds of abuse (beach, ocean, tennis, white water rafting, etc.) and still looks brand new.

The watch has a screw-down bezel that really remains water tight, even over time. (I have had this watch for about a year.) The face is clear and glows in the dark incredibly bright and for a long time.

The only problem I have is with the 24-hr markings on the face. This gives 3 rows of numbers (see above picture) and makes the face appear a little less clean than it could be, but it has not detracted from my joy and confidence in this watch!

FOLLOW-UP: I have now had this watch for over 3 years of active (and at times abusive) use. It still glistens and looks nearly brand new. I have never had to set the time, it still glows brilliantly in the dark, and has not yet required a battery replacement. After 3 years; still highly recommended

FOLLOW-UP #2: I stumbled across my old review here and thought that I might as well mention that I am still wearing this as my main watch (though I love watches and even have some, such as a Jaeger LeCoultre, that are extremely expensive). It is now 5 1/2 years old! In the meantime, I have had one battery change. Otherwise, it has very few scratches, continues to look great, is comfortable, and continues to be water-proof, including surviving ocean swims. This watch is aging much better than I am and continues to be highly recommended by me for the above reasons.

This is a highly functional, no-nonsense watch. It is very accurate and has a clear, easily readable illumunated dial, with 12 and 24 hour and five minute interval markings.

I got written up for being late for work. I bought this for what Railroad Approved means, accuracy and a clean watch face. I prefer the stretch band for work. I set this thing a month ago to Atomic Time and it hasn't lost a second. Pulsar is owned by Seiko. Buy this thing.
