BEWARE!!! SEIKO KINETIC WATCHES - I made the mistake of believing the Seiko marketing, that by buying a Kinetic watch, I'd never have to buy a battery again - which is true you won't (as they have a capacitor/rechargable battery instead). However, what they don't tell you, is that whilst a 'normal' watch battery will last approx 5 years and cost circa £10 to replace including the seal, the Kinetic units need a service every 2-3 years or they will fail...and the cost of this service? £85 yes you read right, EIGHTY FIVE POUNDS STERLING. So before you embark on purchasing a SEIKO KINETIC watch, think again - and don't.
