Seiko Kinetic Watches
Premier kinetic watches are manufactured by the Sieko Corporation and were first developed in 1988. Seiko kinetic watches are synonymous with environmental friendliness, long-lasting convenience and high performance. Sieko were the first to use the perpetual kinetic design and they have become the choice of more than eight million people for their innovative design and technology.
Seiko Kinetic watches have the accuracy of quartz watches and get their power from wrist motion just like automatic mechanical watches. Today Sieko premier kinetic watches are famous across the world and are extremely popular for their mechanism and accuracy.
How Seiko Kinetic Dive Watches Compare to the Solar Powered Variety
Is one method better than the other, or just a matter of preference? On the one hand, kinetic energy generation requires movement, whereas, a light-powered watch, such as a Citizen Eco-Drive model, is obviously more passive, and thus requires fewer moving parts.
Fewer parts is always better in terms of long-term reliability, however in the case of a watch it’s likely more of a moot point since analog watches are already composed of a zillion parts, so what real difference will a few more make.
Some background on how both these power systems function is likely in order before drilling down to deciding which is best. Obviously, this discussion has nothing to do with watches requiring daily winding either.
Seiko pioneered the self-winding watch back in 1980. They came up with a way to translate the motion of the wearers arm movements into the mechanical energy necessary to wind the watches mainspring. The fancy word kinetic simply means motion-generated mechanical energy.
The way they do it is by letting arm motion swing this rather odd-shaped rotor, weighted heavily on one side, around a winding mechanism that, with the use of specialized reversed gearing, will only move in one direction. The result is a wound mainspring.
This in itself will keep the watch wound as long as it’s worn and thus receiving kinetic energy input. However, when left off the arm for a day or two, it would stop. This is especially germane since I’m focusing on dive watches, which may or may not be worn as a regular everyday watch.
To solve this problem, Seiko added a battery to store the excess kinetic energy. Now, assuming the battery is fully charged, the watch can lie still for years and still not require winding.
Instead of kinetic energy, Citizen developed a way to utilize light as a power source. And it doesn’t have to be sunlight – any light source will do fine.
On the faces of their Eco-Drive watches, Citizen places tiny solar cells that transform light into electrical energy. This energy is then collected and stored in energy cells, like a battery, that will supply power for extended periods, even without light.
Again, since were talking about dive watches, this is particularly useful for someone who only uses the watch for diving, versus wearing it everyday. By storing up energy for later use, these watches could be left idle for extended periods, and still show the correct time.
In fact, many new models, both kinetic and solar, have a hibernation mode where after sensing no movement for an extended period, the hands and dial functions stop moving to save energy. But the quartz movement continues to keep the correct time, so that once the watch is moved again, they sense that and reset to current.
Battery technology has come quite a ways too, so it’s gotten to the point where this storage cell or battery, would last past the lifetime of the wearer. That means the battery would never need replacing, making these watches super environmentally friendly.
So which is best? Well, if the watch is worn with any amount of regularity, it appears to not really matter. Either energy source will work fine. You can also see that either type watch can be left idle for various times ranging from months to years, and continue to keep correct time.
I suppose if one left the Citizen solar watch in a drawer long enough, it would finally stop from lack of light, but then so would a Seiko kinetic watch from lack of movement.
At the end of the day, it’s sort of illogical to buy any watch and leave lying around for years, so the answer has to be that both energy generation techniques work well, and it simply becomes a matter of personal preference.

Exceptional Titanium Watches
Watches are classic. They are timeless. In a world where time seems to fly, having a reliable watch is a must-have accessory for any wardrobe. Whether shopping for yourself or as a gift for someone special, a watch is the perfect choice.
With so many manufacturers and use of metals, there is without a doubt something for everyone. If durability and longevity is what you seek, it may be time to consider titanium watches. These timepieces are crafted using one of the strongest materials available to watch manufacturers. Titanium watches feature some of the lowest weight to strength ratios found in any metal. In short, this comes down to the fact that titanium watches have cases that are both lightweight and strong while maintaining an exceptional resistance to extreme temperatures. To give you an idea, Titanium weighs less than half of the weight found in steel, yet is a mere 60% heavier than aluminum. However, it is certainly much stronger.
Some individuals suffer from metal allergies, which means that they cannot wear certain pieces of jewelry without having some type of reaction. A discoloration of the skin is most common, but the reactions vary depending upon the individual ´s resistance to metal and the metal´s contents. Because of the properties in Titanium, watches made from this metal are shown to cause fewer allergic reactions than even gold or silver. In addition, Titanium watches are resistant to saltwater corrosion, which is valuable for divers, surfers or swimmers. Many of these watches are crafted to withstand virtually any environment, which provides for a good investment.
Titanium was discovered over 300 years ago, but was not used in the production of watches until the 1900s. A cost-effective process for working with titanium was founded in the 1940s and so began the era of a new style of watches. This new method provided users with a large variety of colors, including classic to extravagant.
Many of the world´s top watch manufacturers offer titanium watches, including Citizen, Seiko and others. Perhaps the widest selection of watches can be found online, but retail watch dealers may also carry a nice selection of products. Depending on your geographical location, a nice selection may be widely available at every corner. For those who do not have a large retail hub nearby, the internet or specialty catalog shopping may be a nice option. Prices range from several hundred up to several thousand, depending on the style and features that you choose.
When purchasing any timepiece, inquire about product warranties and guarantees. If your watch has a warranty card or information, follow the manufacturer instructions to ensure that your warranty is properly activated. If you need to return a warranty card, do so as quickly as possible. If the warranty information is simply tucked inside the box, always be sure to keep it in a safe place. It is a good idea to retain all warranty information, along with your original purchase receipt. This will aid in proper handling of future warranty issues, such as repair or replacements should they arise in the future.
