Probably the latter.

What's the difference between Kinetic and Automatic?

Kinetic is a quartz movement powered by the movement of your wrist. Automatic is a mechanical movement powered by the movement of your wrist. It's widely thought that Kinetic is more "cool," but Automatic is more "traditional."

By mechanical movement, do you mean the sweeping movement?

As much as i respect Seiko's, there just something about them that dosent do it for me..... I went with Swiss Army when i got mine last year....

I just picked one up last night on eBay for $42.00 shiped (from Japan). After being out bid on two auctions by a $1.00.

nice, classy looking watch. I'd personally spend little more money on the material though, i loves me the tatinium

my 18th birfday gift (They little over 400 2 years ago)

I've had a Seiko Kinetic for about 7 or 8 years now. My only complaint is that if I don't wear it for a few days, the watch needs to be re-set. Other than that, it's a solid watch; takes a good beating .

 

[norxam]

Does anyone know where i can find a manual for my new watch?

 

[GasX]

Congrats on the major bargain.

I am still enjoying my newly acquired Invicta 8926

If it's a Seiko 5, or any other watch powered by a 7S26 movement (the model number will be stamped on the back of the watch, and will be 7S26, followed by a hyphen and four other numbers; e.g., "7S26-5000"), refer to this guide. It's technically for the SKX-series divers, but will work for your watch as well.

I wear one of these


avtopodzavod aka self-winding aka automatic


seems to be built like a tank and was pretty cheap. i think i paid $30 or so

it's got the sweep second hand too. kinda cool.

Yes, they make moderately priced slim watches sold mostly in men's fashion catalogs

How could such a simple design be "hideous"? What kinds of watches do you like?

Wearing my Sinn 656 today, which is an even simpler design . . .

 

[SaigonK]

Well..thnks a lot! Now I am bidding on a couple of watches from that guy!

No, I mean as in quality and stuffs. I've just recently parted with my 2 yrs old Longine (I broke it) and was walking through Macy's when I saw this neat watch (Skagen), I thought it looks very nice, so for $95 bucks, I grab it. I don't know a thing about it. I figure, if it lasts me a few months, it's worth the money.

 

[MonkeyK]

Nice watch DonVito!

I'm a big fan of simple too. Straight up arabic numerals and I'd rather not have a date indicator unless the watch has a perpetual calendar.

I haven't heard of Sinn, but I'll be on the lookout since I've needed a new watch for the last two years (it's tough finding a good watch when you have small wrists)

This manual seems to leave out some features. Does anyone know where i can find a Seiko 5 manual?

 

[lokiju]

Nooo!! must not spend money!!! damnit I'm going to buy one.

 

[SWScorch]

It looks like a watch.... I'll stick with my Timex Ironman, but if it makes you happy, congratulations! It sounds like it was a sweet deal!
