Seiko Kinetic Diver
I picked up a new Seiko Kinetic movement over the weekend, the colors are gorgeous and the lume very impressive.
The GMT is a 24 dial, so it takes getting used to as it might be 6pm but the blue hand would be pointing to 18:00.
The strap is a little uncomfortable, as it needs to be very tight.

Nice! I have a Seiko Kinetic GMT and agree that the GMT hand with its 24 hour track does take some getting used to. These are a great option for a GMT watch.
I sent mine away (SUN065) because I just didn't bond with it. I do have a Velatura Kinetic and I love it, but I need to keep it charged with a kinetic energy supplier since I wear it in rotation with many other watches.

I've been looking for a traditional GMT for some time, so this fills a gap. I have dual time Astron and a Tribus watch that has the 2nd time on a separate dial but that blue GMT hand just pops.

I looked at the SUN065, and liked it but it tends to be more expensive due the PADI reference and I liked the colors on this one.
The SUN range has plenty of good looking watches but I'm on the hunt for a SUN025.
My Seiko Coutura. Perpetual. Kinetic. Unique. Beautiful. GS quality.
I have a seiko kinetic watch, SKA371 ,great watch, if a little bulky, it's known as the BFK , big fing kinetic ,great if you wear it every day but if you wear it in rotation with other watches it is really hard to start up again, it doesn't hand wind and the "seiko shuffle " isn't going to cut it, it takes some effort,having said that it is a bullet proof watch

Does it not last 4-6 months before needing another charge? I sometimes use a toothbrush charger to give my kinetics a boost.
