Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this watch in 1999 (Looked slightly different back then and was $450) and I still use it today because it still looks brand new.When they say it's scratch resistant, they mean it.For about 4 years I worked for a company assembling computers, and I would wear that watch and bang it all over the case of the computer, not one scratch came from it.To this day, I have no visible scratches on the face and I wear it EVERY DAY.The watch looks amazing (still has the best band I have ever seen) and I get compliments today on how nice it is.
Now for the minor problems:
It no longer holds a charge for 6 months when inactive, it's more like one week now.That's ok because I always wear the watch.
The band clasp gets bent up after several months of use, but with a pair of pliers I can get it fixed again.
The calendar is practically useless because it runs off it's own "mind" and is always about 5-10 hours off.
Other than that, I still love it and I plan on wearing it for years down the road.

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.
