Kinetic: A powerhouse in technological innovation

Like mechanical and quartz, Kinetic is a platform. Over the past 20 years, SEIKO has created on this platform a suite of Kinetic movements, each bringing unique features to the consumer.

It was at the 1986 Basel Fair that SEIKO unveiled its first Kinetic prototype. Introduced under the trial name of 'AGM', it was the first watch in the world to convert kinetic movement into electrical energy. It was the first step in a development that, 20 years later, has made Kinetic synonymous with environmental friendliness, high performance and long-lasting convenience to a generation of users worldwide. From the launch in 1988 of the first commercially available watch (then under the new name AGS) until today, over eight million Kinetic watches have been sold (as of 2007).

In 1998, Kinetic Auto Relay was released, extending the 'at-rest' operating period of the watch to a remarkable 4 years. 1999 saw the launch of the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph, a masterpiece which fused the very best of SEIKO's mechanical and electronic watch making skills, and in 2003 another Kinetic Chronograph was launched. At Baselworld 2005, the Kinetic Perpetual made its first appearance, combining Kinetic convenience and longevity with a perpetual calendar, correct to the year 2100. In 2007, SEIKO's emotional technology Kinetic Direct Drive is introduced.

Gone are the days when you would have to shell out upwards of 4 big ones to get a decent kinetic. This one is all kinetic - feels great and looks even better. Solid build quality - you won't be disappointed.

Great watch and keeps great time, but a tad clunky. It's like having a small clock on your wrist. Took awhile to fully charge, like a month, but after that it keeps a full charge.

This review is from: Seiko Men's SKA380 Kinetic Two-Tone Watch (Watch)

This is my second Seiko watch and am very pleased with it. I was looking for a watch with a plain face, but a little gold to keep it classy, and this one fits my criteria perfectly. Being Kinetic, it does not need battery replacements, which is a plus. Also, it has a little window in the back, which allows sight of its internals; very cool. The indicator is also nice to have, since it allows for a quick check of the power remaining, although with normal wear, there is not really a need to do so. If considering, you will not be disappointed.
