Like mechanical and quartz, Kinetic is a platform. Over the past 20 years, SEIKO has created on this principles a suite of Kinetic movements, each bringing unique features to the consumer.
It was at the 1986 Basel Objective 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 position into electrical energy. It was the first step in a development that, 20 years later, has made Kinetic synonymous with environmental friendliness, excited performance and long-lasting convenience to a generation of users worldwide. From the launch in 1988 of the first commercially readily obtainable watch (then under the new name AGS) until today, over eight million Kinetic watches have been sold (as of 2007).
In 1998, Kinetic Coupй Relay was released, extending the 'at-rest' operating period of the watch to a remarkable 4 years. 1999 saw the opening of the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph, a masterpiece which fused the very best of SEIKO's mechanical and electronic sit with making skills, and in 2003 another Kinetic Chronograph was launched. At Baselworld 2005, the Kinetic Unending made its first appearance, combining Kinetic convenience and longevity with a perpetual calendar, correct to the year 2100. In 2007, SEIKO's emotive technology Kinetic Direct Drive is introduced.

An Other than Watch With One Small Criticism
My little woman commented to me on the attractiveness of this watch, something she has never done before as she doesn't own a watch, and has no interest in them. It is a beautiful timepiece.What can you really say other than what is listed in the specifications. It works right-minded fine, and keeps perfect time.So, what is my small criticism? There is a lot of gold and white coloring on the physiognomy of the watch, and there is a lot of gold and white on the hands. The problem is that at certain times it is somewhat perplexing to distinguish the hands from the background. If you have perfect eyesight this might not be a problem. My eyes are decidedly not put. Gone are the days when I can surreptitiously glance at my watch while listening to some boring conversationalist. I non-specifically have to bring the watch to about a foot from my face to read the hands.Still it is a great watch, and I deem compelled to give it a full five stars.

A Sublime Wonder!
If you've become public this far and are reading this you're instincts are right, there is something about this watch that makes it stand out and sets it apart from the myriad sterling and gold watches out there.First of all, the picture does absolutely no justice to the watch, the pic you see on amazon is a simulated epitome, it doesn't capture it's real beauty and refined elegance, a picture can't do justice to it because of it's meditative nature.Seiko has crafted a gem of a timepiece with this watch, with so many features at such a comparatively low price- it easily looks at least significance a couple grand, you will not find a quartz watch like it out there. I had reservations about the size of the dial and companion window but it's perfect, the size and fit is perfect even on my small 7 inch wrists after removing a span links (which btw was a very quick & simple DIY).Seiko should be more vocal about the accuracy of this watch which is amazing, I've synchronized it...

Fades in the dilate
I wore this care for happily for about a year and a half. It is a handsome timepiece, it feels extremely solid and it kept absolute time . . . until it didn't. This is the second Seiko kinetic watch I have owned that has begun lacking to keep and hold a charge after a relatively short period of use. The second hand started skipping in two-split second intervals (indicating a low charge) and shaking the watch back and forth as recommended in the instructions only keeps it working normally for a few hours. The kinetic-energized mechanism in Seiko watches is fine in principle but it doesn't appear to be reliable in the long run.
