Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This handsome and classic-looking men?s kinetic watch is powered by the natural movements of your wrist, meaning you?ll never need to change a battery. It has a six-month power reserve capacitor, so that even if you leave it on the shelf for six months, it will continue to keep accurate time. A power reserve indicator shows how much reserve power is left. When the reserve drops to less than 24 hours, the second hand will warn you by shifting to two-second increments.

This watch is crafted from titanium, an , natural metal that is 40% stronger and 30% lighter than stainless steel. Because it is nickel-free, titanium is hypoallergenic.

This watch has a round gray dial with luminous hands and markers set in a bezel of brushed titanium with gold-toned titanium accents. The dial features three-hand function and a date window at the three o?clock position. Other features include a highly scratch-resistant Sapphlex crystal and a see-through screw-down caseback that allows you to observe the watch?s kinetic motion. The watch is presented on a brushed titanium link bracelet with gold-toned accents. It fastens with a push-button release clasp. Water-tested to 100 meters, this watch is suitable for both swimming and snorkeling. As an added advantage, its titanium construction makes it extremely resistant to salt water and other forms of corrosion.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Keeper, October 4, 2005

This review is from: Seiko Men's SKH202 Kinetic Titanium Watch (Watch)

I've owned many Swiss watches, Breitling, Rolex, Raymond Weil, Omega, Baume & Mercier, Swiss Army, and a few that I can't even remember their names, I went back to buying Seikos, because tick for tick, they keep equal or better time. My Rolex DateJust, is an example of complete workmanship, and is Chronometer Certified, but it doesn't keep time better than a Seiko Quartz. Muchless, any Quartz cheapo on the market. The reason why, I bought this Kinetic watch is that it's design is for smaller wrist, and it's combination of color, which accents Grey with gold tone. Titanium construction was alo a factor, it's light, yet stronger than steel. I paid a premium for a solid titanium bracelet from Breitling, almost $500. Although the Seiko Bracelet is not as well made as the Breitling, it costs two Seiko (of the model descibed) watches less.



Swiss Watches are Great, provided you have the resources to expend, however, for my money, I prefer a Seiko Kinetic to a Swiss Self-Winding. Reason: if it gets banged-up or stops working, I just buy another. I can buy 10 Seiko kinectics to one Premium Swiss watch, and I can buy a new one every year if I choose to do so. I can't do the same with a Premium Swiss. You decide!



An Added note: There was a discrepency in the product description due to Amazon Partnership. The product that I ordered did not have a see-thru caseback, and the luminous markers was too old to be functional. the watch documentation indicated that it was made in 2002. Amazon. however compensated me for this, and I was most pleased. The Watch keeps perfect time, and is as described with the exception of my described conflict. Regardless, this is still a good buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent timekeeper, great crystal, with one flaw ---, April 2, 2008

I bought this watch 5 years ago, and it has run within a second or two per month of perfect time every since. The crystal resists scratches extremely well. The case and band look like new also when cleaned with soap and water. The clear window back is neat. The only problem is that these watches were until recently sold with a capacitor for power storage instead of a battery, and the capacitors fail after a few years and have to be replaced at a cost not far short of $100. The repair consists primarily of installing a rechargeable battery instead of the capacitor, and this should last longer -- I hope -- since I just paid for the repair. I think Seiko goofed, but the watch is great except for that problem, and the price relative to other high-quality watches is much lower, so it still is worth buying.
