5.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Deserved Gift!, December 28, 2008

This review is from: Seiko Men's Watches Premier Kinetic SRN001P1 - 2 5 (Watch)

After a lifetime of throw-away watches requiring expensive batteries, I quit wearing a watch for 2 years. My Mom, wanting to give me an extra-nice gift for being such a fine son for 50 years, surprised me with this exceptionally handsome Seiko Premier. A kinetic watch requires no batteries...in fact, I stored up 6 months of reserve power after just wearing it for one week. This is a substantial piece of jewelry...it is weighty without being uncomfortable. Another thing that really sets this watch apart from so many others is that it contains no useless or confusing dials. This watch clearly shows me "day", "date" and "time", without forcing me to squint or interpret meaningless little dials. I don't live out of a suitcase traveling the world, nor do I run marathon races, compete in yachting competitions or gather artifacts from the bottom of the ocean. I would be hard-pressed to think of something that I desperately needed to time down to a tenth of a second. This watch will get me by quite nicely in my 8 to 5 office job. It is especially nice to wear something that "turns heads", is entirely functional, and gives me great pride. Sometimes being a good son has its rewards!

Great watch, when you hold it you feel that it's very solid and you can see that a lot of attention went into the details of the watch.
If you are looking for a Seiko watch spent some more money to get a Premier, it's worth every penny.

This review is from: Seiko Men's Watches Premier Kinetic SRN001P1 - 2 5 (Watch)

Shipping was good.
+ on time
+ good packaging

Product is ok.
+ Overall, it's a nice casual watch; can wear it to work, with jeans, suits, etc.
+ Above it's peers in terms of aesthetics.
+ Functions seem to work well and are simple to use (date, day of week, energy indicator).
+ Adjusting the links are simple.
+ The feel of the watch is nice and comfortable; not too light, not too heavy.
+ Watch seems pretty durable; although I accidently hit the watch on desks and such, there are no scratches yet.
+/- Kinetic quartz; Kinetic function is nice with the accuracy of a quartz, but it is still a quartz.

The alignments need some work:
- the second hand is slightly off the second ticker (1-2mm)
- the day-of-week-hand does not point to the center of the day; this hand is slightly off as well.
- When adjusting the time, the entire alignment is off slightly: When the second hand is at the 12, and minute hand should be directly on a minute ticker, but it is not. When the minute hand is at the 12, the hour hand should be directly over a hour ticker, but it is not as well.

Overall: 3/5
I guess you can't expect too much from a $400 watch. However, at the same time, $400 is not cheap. And this watch is supposedly in the $800 range. For the $400 price tag, the watch is OK, but I would definitely not spend $800 on this watch. I do not regret buying this product. However, there are definitely other options out there.
