Review of the Seiko SKA367 Kinetic Dive Watch

The weight feels just right to counterbalance the mass of the watch.The movement is Kinetic quartz which means there's a rotor and generator inside the case. When you move your wrist, the rotor spins and a small voltage is generated that gets stored in a rechargeable battery. Unlike the new Seiko Velatura, you can't handwind the SKA367, but it's efficient enough to not be a drawback. The SKA367 uses the 5M62 movement which has a six-month power reserve, low battery warning, and a nifty button at the 2 o'clock position that temporarily re-purposes the second hand to show you the amount of charge currently in the battery. As with most quartz movements, it's accurate to ±15 seconds per month.As you can tell, I very much like this replica bell & ross. It's substantial and handsome, the yellow color is a nice change of pace, and the visual details are a constant source of interest. For diving, weekends, or just daily wear, we recommend it highly.View the Seiko SKA367 photo gallery.Visibility is first-rate during daylight hours as the black on yellow hands are very readable. Each hand has a distinct shape, so there's no confusion at a glance. Unfortunately, the skeletonized hands are a little hard to read in the dark since "Circle means hour" and "blob means minute" takes time to interpret mentally. I prefer solid lume-filled hands, myself, but this is far from a deal-killer.The bracelet is another thing of delight. It's first-rate, and very comfortable for a my bell & ross at this price point. It has a slip-lock wetsuit extension similar to the one on the Seiko Orange Monster, and four micro-adjustments for fine-tuning. Additionally, it has solid links and endlinks, a pushbutton release with flip lock, and, like the rest of the replicas bell & ross, a nice combination of finishes.
