Make sure you understand what an automatic watch is before buying February 18, 2010 J. Lewis (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Since there seems to be some confusion in the reviews over accuracy and power reserve, I'll try to do a quick explanation of what this watch is... An Automatic (winding) mechanism is a traditional mechanical (clockwork) watch. It is powered by a spring which is wound by the movement of your arm, and only has a reserve of 36-40 hours meaning that in order to keep it ticking you need to wear it just about every day.
Also, the time is kept by a precision weighted balance wheel rather than a quartz crystal, it will not be as accurate as a $4.99 digital watch. This watch will probably gain 5-10 seconds per day (Although it is possible to have the mechanism adjusted to improve it a little)...
If this is the case, why buy or wear an automatic watch instead of a quartz watch?... The answer is because of those intangible factors, somehow a mechanical watch has more soul than a quartz, you can feel the automatic winder moving on your wrist, it's more of a symbiotic relationship, a quartz watch can be put in a draw and it will run for years, while an automatic needs you as much as you need it. There's a certain satisfaction in the mechanical mechanism for those with some mechanical sympathy.
There is another up side to a watch like this too... if you put a quartz watch in a draw for a couple of years, the battery will be dead and it will be useless when you need it most, an automatic will have stopped... but it will be running again a few minutes after you start to wear it, and I suppose in extreme situations they would be EMP proof too :)
I wear an automatic watch every day, and I gladly accept somewhat less accuracy to have something less soulless than your typical quartz watch.
Nice watch January 30, 2010 ByronW (Oregon) Nice watch, gains a couple minutes a week, but I like the self-winding feature, and the look of it. Band is comfortable, but may not last more than a year. I'd buy it again.
Nice Retro October 19, 2009 K. Chen (San Gabriel, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love the retro design, more logical reading, and that's the reason I brough it.
The first one I received runs 20 min. faster every hour! That's 4 hours faster everyday! The seller fairly replaced a new one quickly.
The new one still runs about 15 sec. faster everyday, not too bad though. I wish it could has the Kinetic movement.
Seiko 5 rocks!! May 5, 2009 A. Nawaz (Bloomington, IN USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an excellent product from Seiko.
Pros:
1) Legible dial where numbers are clearly laid out in WWII bomber format.
2) Luminous markers hold light well
3) Automatic, may not be as accurate as a quartz watch but one can certainly appreciate the continuous sweep of the second hand and the exhibition display.
4) Nato Style nylon strap is comfortable and does its job, although i have plans to replace it with a calfskin brown strap as i am suspecting some threading to occur within 3 to 4 months time.
5) DAY and DATE, often see one or the other but makes the watch much more useful with both of them.
Cons: NONE
Im enjoying this watch and might plan to start a collection.
