Released by Seiko in the late 1980s, kinetic movements combine the accuracy of a quartz watch with the winding mechanism of an automatic. By simply wearing the watch, you’ll provide the capacitor with power, which is then stored in the battery. Fully charged, a kinetic watch will store up to 6 months of power. To determine the watch’s power reserve, hit the button at the 2 o’clock position—if it skips ahead 30 seconds, it has between 4 and 6 month of power; 20 seconds, it has approximately 1 month; 10 seconds, it has between 7 days and 1 month; 5 seconds, and it has between 1 and 7 days of power reserve.
