User reviews
I was not sure how to approach this review, so I will make it simple. Seiko have (in my opinion) designed one of the most aesthetic timepieces of the modern age. I owned the great and mighty Tag S/El Chronograph, another fantastically designed watch in a sea of humdrum looking pieces. Yes there are more expensive Breitlings and Rolexes, and from a technical perspective these and some elite other marques are more advanced and complex in their mechanisms be they mechanical or otherwise if compared to the Seiko.
Anyway it comes with a leather case in the form of a cylinder with rooom for three watches - included also is a precision tool for resizing your carbonized titanium strap OR taking it off and putting the alternative sumptious leather strap with orange stitching (bear in mind this is a watch designed for Motorsport - I believe). My humble Motorsporting is taking my M5 out for a thrashing now and again at the nearby race track in Karlskoga - so I did not purchase this watch to time my laps in the F1 car (I wish!).
Also cool is there are only 2005 of these watches and on the back you can see which number of the 2005 your watch is.
Anyway I bought the watch and put it on straight away - I had to shake it 200 times to charge it for use, but once worn full time - you dont have to worry about this again as the Kinetic movement charges the capacitor/battery for continous timekeeping - if fully charged it will run for a month if not used.
Ok cost wise its not for everyone - but for those who have an interest in watches - and I don't just mean the elite mechanical masterpieces with a million jewels and umpteen thousand moving parts, but in design and function - this is a superb watch, with very low maintenace attached.
There is no watch on this planet in terms of looks that makes me go WOW! Other than the SLQ019 - nicely done Seiko!
