Discussion
This watch looks excellent. Unlike other self-winding or kinetic watches, this a single is compact. In the top tradition of Japanese product development they believed hard on how this watch will need to function and say about the wearer. The hands are straightforward to reading, even for those of use with failing eyesight. The second sweep hand has a read tip permitting simple and easy setting of the time.
Unlike some Japanese item, they provided a brief, simple instruction on winding the watch. Here, I am comparing them to Citizen's ecco-drive watch, which I also own. Just gently perform your arm back and forth for 3 minutes and the self-wind watch will charge or, you could wear it for a day.
Okay, now for the negatives. First, this is not your quartz watch. The original self-winding mechanism was invented, according to Wikipedia, by a Swiss watchmaker in 1770. Since then it has gone by means of various improvements but is not as correct as the quartz mechanism popularized beginning in the 1970's. Sieko warns that this watch could be off by as much as 10 seconds a day. One days use indicates that my watch runs about ten seconds quickly.
The terrific watchmaker Harrison, who invented the 1st chronometer correct enough to track longitude, said that consistency is much more critical than accuracy. (A poor copy of a single of Harrison's chronometers was carried by Captain Cook on his circumnavigation of the globe. He had nothing at all but wonderful things to say about it.) I have a different self-winding watch, an Armitron, which runs regularly 15 seconds rapid on days that I wear it.
From my measurements of quartz watches, their accuracy, even though dazzling when compared to old hand-wound watches, are much less correct than my old German pendulum clock. So I am told, the longer the arm, the significantly more stable the swing and the alot more correct the timepiece. I compare everything to atomic time. And, considering that the quartz mechanism is battery-driven, it seems to suffer from inconsistency. I carefully measured my collection of six quartz watches over a 2 year period. Although the battery was new, the error was consistent. As the battery burned out, the error became tough to predict. From time to time a positive error (adding time) would develop into a unfavorable error (losing time) as the battery died. This dying period was also tough to predict.
The accuracy of the quartz mechanism is not as great as my pendulum clock. They all lost or gained approximately two-3 seconds, on typical, per month.
Based on a week of measurements with the Armitron, I would say that it is shockingly inaccurate but consistently so. Assuming that the Sieko error continues to be regularly 10 seconds quickly this will mean that I will have to reset it each week. This is a smaller price tag to pay for an otherwise beautifully crafted and honestly-priced handiwork.
Setting time
The date and day are fairly effortless. I recommend turning the watch arms until the click past a day so you won't be twelve hours off.
Setting the time is one more matter. What functions finest is to set the hour and minute hands, then gently hold the second hand. It should really pulse a small as it tries to force itself forward. When the seconds are correct, release and the second hand must be accurate. It takes a tiny practice at initially and don't set the time till you pump the watch 3 minutes to charge the spring.
Time to unwind
It takes about 39 hours (1 test) to unwind.

This watch comes in four models, SNK 803 with a beige strap and dial, SNK 805 with a green strap and dial, SNK 807 with a blue strap and dial, and SNK 809 with a black strap and dial. What I like most is the red tip on the seconds hand that sweeps continuously across the dial and not in actions for each second like in most analog watches. Also cool is the untraditional numbering of the hour markings, exactly where the five-minutes are even more protruding than the hours. The strap looks far better in the pictures than in reality, but it really is nevertheless very good and tough-searching, although it is narrower than you feel when you see it on the guy's arm in the pictures above. The see-via case is a gimmick I could do devoid of, but anyway, nice to watch the watch function. Decide to purchase all 4 and you have 1 to go with just about every occasion and dress colour/code. This item sells on eBay for 30-40 dollars.
