Seiko Kinetic Mens Watches

By: Edward Price

Watches in general have the primary function of telling time and that's why most people buy whatever watch they can find that looks good for their style while others care about added features and durability, which of course, are more expensive. However, divers have special needs and they need a watch that can help keep track of the time elapsed during underwater sessions so they can resurface without problems. A Seiko divers watch could be an excellent choice since they are widely known for the style and overall quality of their watches.

But is choosing a Seiko divers watch instead of other dive watches coming from competing brands really the right choice? There is no doubt that there are a large number of scuba watches on the market today and they come off boasting with interesting features. Here's an in-depth look of these Seiko dive watches that will answer why these Seiko dive watches really stand out.

Style

Seiko is very well known for choosing materials that give any dive watch that elegant look and added durability at the same time. Most of the Seiko dive watches come complete with a stainless-steel casing and have that Japanese style finish to it. Many of the Seiko scuba watches are made of scratch resistant Hardlex crystal so they remain to look new as the years go by.

Some of the watches come with the ordinary black rubber strap while a few others can be really sophisticated like the Seiko Men's Automatic Dive Black Urethane Strap Watch which has a unique strap that is pressure vented. Others even have a steel bracelet that makes the dive watch double as an ordinary watch that is great of every day wearing.

Features

Seiko dive watches must be legible underwater for them to be effective for deep diving. In addition to their easy to read unidirectional bezels, Seiko scuba watches also have luminous hands for better visibility of the time underwater. Although none of the Seiko watches are digital, some are still capable of displaying the date. Certain watches also have an inner rotating compass dial ring which divers can make use of.

Technology

A Seiko divers watch is best known for its 21 jewel automatic self-winding Seiko movement. The Seiko 5 series bumped it up to 23 jewels, but what keeps Seiko ahead in terms of technology with their Seiko scuba watches is their Kinetic technology. Kinetic technology is another self-winding technology that doesn't require any turning of the crown at all. Instead, it automatically wounds as long as the arm or wrist moves. In the later models, the same Kinetic technology is now used to power the rechargeable batteries. This will keep the time accurate for up to 4 years when fully charged making this a huge achievement for Seiko.
