What is the difference between seiko kinetic&seiko automatic watches?
Seiko became well known through the manufacture of high quality, durable, and reliable automatic watch movements. In the 1980s, Seiko developed an automatic charging system for its electronic quartz movements. They call it the kinetic system.TechnologySeiko automatic watches are mechanical systems that use jewels, springs and cogs for the watch mechanism. kinetic mechanisms use quartz movements with an electro-mechanical charging system.Energy Capture SystemsIn both cases, the watch charging systems have a weight running around the outside of the watch. As you move your arm while wearing the watch, the weight rotates and converts your motion to stored energy.Energy StorageIn a Seiko automatic watch, the energy of the spinning weight winds the main spring. As this spring releases its energy, it causes the watch to move. With a kinetic system, the movement of the weights transfers to gears that spin a tiny generator. The power generated stores in a capacitor for use in the watch’s quartz
