Seiko Men’s Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch #SKA347 Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35AREBJW4BV8A I’ve always liked nice watches.I do not like blingy watches, gold or 2 tone watches.

I’m coming from an Omega Seamaster Pro 2254.50 (sold already) which has incredible readability in any light conditions (perfect for aging eyes) but with the only drawback of a high priced maintenance premium.

I’ve been looking for a watch that could replace it and being honest, I looked for:

1) Tissot
2) Seiko
3) Citizen

I went to the mall, looking for official dealers per each one of the manufacturers websites and, before a lot of research, I knew that:

1) Tissot won’t honor a warranty for a watch bought on the Internet.
2) Seiko won’t honor a warranty for a watch bought on the Internet, unless its clearly stated that the seller is an authorized Seiko reseller.
3) Citizen will honor a purchase from Amazon, being them an authorized reseller.

So, I went to the mall looking for 3 specific watches:

1)Tissot PRC200 Mens Watch T014.410.11.057.00

2) Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-54A

3) Seiko Men’s Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch #SKA347

The Tissot has a very good finish and specs. (sapphire crystal and 200 M water resistance for example)
The things I didn’t like about it was that the bracelet was very heavy and there are red hour markings in the inner bezel. The good thing also is a 2 year International warranty) The bad thing: just another quartz watch with no innovations at all.

Then I looked at the Citizen. Everything looked awesome on that watch except the white dial and roman numerals looks like they are made of plastic, not metal, very artificial looking. The Eco Drive feature was a plus but the dial (aside being too busy) was a deal breaker.Also, they use simple mineral crystal and saw a lot of scratches on the face of a different one who belongs to a watchmaker that works at Jared.

At last, I went to Times Square booth (listed on Seiko’s website) and started looking for a Kinetic.

First I handed the Premier’s: very nice looking but super heavy and then I saw the one I’m reviewing here.

It looked bold, easy to read, uncluttered dial, good lume, Kinetic movement, perfect case size for my wrist, slim profile (compared to the other ones), sits very nice on the wrist, nice bracelet (very similar to Omega’s Speedy bracelet), 100 M WR meaning I can use it in the pool, a piece of cake to setup, Hardlex crystal and a 3 year warranty, being the first year International and 2 years valid only in the US and I was sold. I need a watch that just tells the time and the day, that’s all. (I don’t like busy looking dials with functions that you may never use, although the Citizen’s dial caught my eye…on the Internet but NOT in person))

If I decide to criticize something I don’t like about the watch is the fact that the hour and minute hands are white painted, not chrome/ polished looking. But this detail makes those hands to pop out a little more, making them easier to read at a glance. Then I remembered my already gone Omega Seamaster which had the same design concept but the opposite way: shiny metal hands filled with Luminova and painted markers, which made that watch so unique.

I’ve also decided on Seiko because is the ONLY watch company (aside some Swiss manufacturers) that does everything in house. (movement, crystals, bracelet, even the oils used for lubrication)

I can’t attest yet on it’s durability and accuracy (just got it yesterday) but I will post updates in the future.

Thanks for reading.

Update: after a week of use, the watch is spot on with www.time.gov.

PS:I bought this watch and like it very much, although there is something I don’t get.

With a good regular quartz watch, you change batteries every 5-8 years. With the Kinetic is the same, the battery will stop holding a charge after about the same time, so, WHAT’s the point of Kinetics? It seems just another marketing scam.

Seiko Men’s Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch #SKA347 Harnessing the power you generate with each movement, this Seiko Men’s Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch #SKA347 features a dramatic black dial face, which is encased by a hardlex dial window. Silver-tone hour and minute indexes bring a stylish contrast, and an additional ring of Arabic numerals ensures an at-a-glance readability. A handy date calendar rests at the four o’clock position, and the stationary, stainless steel bezel is embellished with additional time-telling hour indexes. Other details include the silver-tone, stainless steel band that comes equipped with a fold-over-clasp-with-push-button closure, and a 40-millimeter stainless steel case. Powered by Japanese kinetic movement, this watch is water resistant up to 330 feet.

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.
