Seiko Kinetic Watches vs. Citizen Eco-Drive for Divers

You may or may not wear your dive watch as an everyday watch. If left lying around it will likely need to be re-wound and reset before that next dive. Here are two technologies that will make that a thing of the past.

Charles C. I hate to disagree but Seiko didn't pioneer the self winding. I had a Hamilton back about 1976. One of the best watches I ever owned. 12/11/2009
Roger A small correction, Seiko didn't pioneer self winding (automatic) mechanisms. Those have been around for over 100 years. Seiko was the first to use the concept to power a quartz watch rather than wind a spring. 5/31/2009
John You could hardly be more wrong about who "pioneered" the self-winding watch, and when. I have both a Bulova gold-filled self-winding wristwatch from the 1950's (inherited from my father) and a Seiko self-winding that I got in college in 1978. But if you go to the trouble to actually research it, you'll find that self-winding watches have been around for a couple centuries. Research is an amazing thing-- try it. 2/23/2009
