Product Description
Powered by Seiko’s own solar quartz movement, this watch is powered by the sun. Water resistant to 100 meters, it’s made with a stainless steel case and Hardlex crystal to protect the contents inside Read More
"Black Solar"is Seiko's trademarked name for their dark energy powered watch movement, the first in the world. 70 percent of the universe consists of this gravity-repelling energy. I think we can expect a Nobel Prize in physics for Seiko's engineers (assuming no #metoo problems), so this might be the time to pick one up, before the rush and the inevitable price hikes.
It's a nice watch, I've had one for 4 years. If I could I would change the bezel a bit by not having the grooves in it, and a brushed finish. But $90 is also a bit high. I think I paid $85 for mine. I wear it daily for my job, kind of being used as a beater.
A couple of notes you will not find in the user manual. Even wearing daily, long-sleeves will prevent charging. Put the watch in a window to charge from sunlight every few months. When the seconds hand starts double-ticking from a low charge, it will not stop until you charge the cell back up and then pull out the crown. I believe it is a warning to set the watch since it was so low on charge. But I have talked more than one person down from sending in their solar watch for service because they never tried pulling out the crown to stop the double-ticking.
My watch bought in July 2018.
It broke down two months ago.
It works for a moment and stops.
Repair at an SEIKO authorized service center in Poland valued at $ 120.
Umaxymay you provide link or quote ASIN or seach string please? unable to find it on Amazon at even close price. As per camelcamelcamel recent price for SNE095P1 is around 100.
sky8massdropApparently nobody is noticing that some of these comments are from 14 or 15 WEEKS ago when this drop was last active. The price probably was what is listed above way back then.
I just checked, today 06/30 and it is 89.98 on Amazon. This does look to be a fantastic basic watch. Could serve as a "one watch watch" for those so inclined (or if reading this-- maybe a gift for a grad or other who will only wear one watch). Clean enough look it won't be out of place formal, work, or casual. Far far better than say a DW.
Turnaround time not too long, but $92, free shipping no tax on Newegg, with presumably better service And returns.
reviews are extremely hit or miss. Would not buy here due to lack of return option.
Mine seems to be held up due to severe weather delays. Is anyone else seeing this? It has been in that status since 7/12. Seems a long time for weather delays. Not sure what is causing the issue.
