Seiko Divers Watch... I think Kinetic

[WildTurkey]

It's my brother's birthday next week and I want to get my brother a Seiko Divers' Watch I think it was kinetic.

Over 20 years ago we had a fight over one of these and he won a card game to decide and I ended up with a not so good one.

I am looking at the ones on offer today and they don't look so right.

Blue face I think with some red. I get confused as mine was similar but automatic.

Have they changed the design?

Where is the best place to shop for these?

If he won why do you need to buy him another?

I’ve got a few watches but my Seiko kinetic is my favourite.

I can leave it for days and when I pick it up the pointers automatically spin around to the correct time. Never fails to amaze.

Good choice Cat.

Why does it not just keep the right time anyway?

It goes to sleep to save the battery. It never needs a new battery and you never have to wind it.

Surely it takes just as much energy to remember the time as it does to move the hands?

How Do Kinetic Watches Work?

I understand the kinetic element, just not how it takes less energy to ‘remember’ the time bit

Moving watch hands takes almost nowt
