Very dignified chronometer without battery replacement for a reasonable price. 1

I collect watches; so far my focus was mostly on mechanical automatic watches - except one of the first Seiko Kinetic, which is indeed an automatic watch with quartz movement. Provides you still faithful to their service. This Seiko timepiece is my first solar clock. I bought it. With another online retailer With this principle, a good, very accurate transition quartz movement is powered by solar panels. This saves a also the annoying battery change.

(Addendum 16:02:15: The criticized me measurements have now been corrected - I let the text here still stand, because it was so at the time when the review is written appropriately.)
The information here in this offer are contradictory in some respects, and are somewhat imprecise. The diameter of the clock is exactly 43 mm and the height 12 mm. Even the band fortunately no 11mm is slim, but has the normal level (20 mm) for such watches. Also, there is at the Chonographen not, as indicated in the description, to an automatic clock. What can not be seen here on the somewhat blurred product image, the good safety clasp whose principle I know already from the Kinetic ago. It is secured with a strap and the actual clasp has two push buttons on the left and right for unlocking. Through various holes for the spring bar of buckle you can still fine-tune the length of the tape after trimming. In the photo comes out not so clear that the central members of the band are highly polished and the exterior of brushed matte stainless steel. The case is also made of brushed satin stainless steel, which is polished on the sides high gloss. The bezel rotates only to the left, as you would expect for diving watches and snaps very well and fine. The entire clock makes a very high-quality impression, as one is actually getting used to from Seiko watches.

The Ziffenblatt looks a bit overloaded by second, minute and hour display, thus had at Seiko used like dates with date and day probably no place. The date when it was used at an angle 4-5 clock and is not easy to read by the black background and has no magnifying glass, as it is very much made in watches of this type. But this is, as it is written by the additional features more than excuses.

The accuracy is enormous. I have for a long time no longer need to adjust the time.

What "diver" puzzled me most Seiko watches, the water resistance of 20 bar. Normally, most high quality watches of this type at least 30 but the depth-information is anyway rather theoretical nature, because, for example, at a clock with 5 bar this information definitely not a seal of approval for "Waterproof" is. This means that the clock is splashproof and sometimes can come in short of water. You can swim with a clock of 10 bar and also because I would not jump into the water, for example, from the tower. Therefore catch clocks, with which one easily swimming and diving can, at 20-30 bar, but this does not mean that you can really dive in depth 200 m with these timepieces. For most users, these watches but that is rather unimportant since they will never reach such depths.

Overall I am very pleased with the clock and happy to give 5 stars.
