Quick Facts on the Seiko Kinetic

Seiko Kinetic is the first quartz watch powered by human movement, a development so significant it led to the application for more than 50 patents. The process uses an oscillating weight that is rotated by the movement of your wrist: this movement is transformed into a magnetic charge, then into electricity, which is stored in a tiny capacitor or a rechargeable battery. A Power Reserve Indicator shows exactly how much energy you’ve created.
- Never needs winding
- Never needs a battery change
- Captures and stores energy for up to six months (most models)
- Environmentally friendly
- Quartz accuracy

Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years up to February 2100. When the watch senses 24 hours of inactivity it puts itself into suspended animation (sleep mode) to conserve energy. The date continues to advance correctly while the watch is asleep. Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist and it automatically resets itself to the correct time even if it's been asleep for up to 4 years
- Leap Year Indicator
- Oversized dual date windows
- 24-hour and 12-month subdials
- Energy depletion forewarning function

Kinetic Auto Relay adds an amazing feature to Seiko Kinetic. It automatically resets itself to the correct time. If the watch senses inactivity for more than three days, it automatically stops the hands to conserve energy, then continues to compute the time internally.
- The next generation in Kinetic timekeeping
- Time Memory for up to 4 years at full charge
- Hands automatically reset themselves to the correct time
- Powered by wearer's movement
- No need to change the battery

Seiko Kinetic Chronograph combines Kinetic quartz accuracy with ingenious traditional watchmaking - It has four times the number of wheels found in a standard quartz watch. Kinetic technology solves the problem that plagues most quartz chronographs - heavy power consumption...A full charge powers the watch for up to five months. The mechanism is driven by proprietary Seiko Kinetic Technology and never needs a battery. Kinetic movements use natural arm motion to generate electricity, stored in a capacitor that powers the watch.
