Title: Fades in the stretch
Review: I wore this watch happily for about a year and a half. It is a handsome timepiece, it feels extremely solid and it kept perfect time . . . until it didn't. This is the second Seiko kinetic watch I have owned that has begun failing to keep and hold a charge after a relatively short period of use. The second hand started skipping in two-second intervals (indicating a low charge) and shaking the watch back and forth as recommended in the instructions only keeps it working normally for a few hours. The kinetic-electric mechanism in Seiko watches is fine in principle but it doesn't appear to be reliable in the long run.
Is the review positive or negative?
