Product Description

About Seiko In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Recognized for its technological excellence, Seiko has provided timekeeping services for the Olympic Games and the World Cup Soccer Championships. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design. An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch, typically with a balance wheel escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity, a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time

So much...for so little...
Seiko 5 SNK619K1:

Pretty solid timepiece!

It's a definite timepiece for your dressy days...as well as dressing up your jeans days. It looks like you spent at least $300.00 for it. It comes with a black dial, and grey dial, as well as the silver dial. The full day display at the 6 position is very eye-catching, as is the Saturday in blue, and Sunday in red. It contains the 7S26B variant from Seiko. The bracelet has folded links that are both brushed and high polished, and appear to be strong. The watch is not a lightweight, nor is it heavy. It has an exhibition caseback so that you can see the beautiful movement, and the case itself is classically styled---not large, and not small, just about 37mm---as was used in the old days. Original Seiko box and documentation was included.

I purchased this watch from 007-watch-midpoint. I am so happy that I decided to do business with them. The packaging was terrific, and I was very happy that they required a signature---VERY professional.

***PLEASE NOTE: When a Seiko model is identified as having a "K" and a number next to the model #, it is a reference to a stainless steel bracelet, or a rubber strap. IT IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS FOR SOMEONE TO STATE AND BELIEVE THAT IT REFERS TO KNOCKOFF STATUS. FURTHERMORE, WOULDN'T A TRUE KNOCKOFF BE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE---WHERE'S THE PROFIT?

Greqt Watch
I really like this watch. Great looking and no batteries. I would recommend it.

Quality was ok
I think USA gets all Junk Seiko watches. This watch looked good but would stop even when I wore it. I have had seikos in the past but they were all JAPAN made and those are on par with SWISS watches. All US merchants get the China stock and that sucks.
