It’s not much I know but I needed a watch I could wear for work, (my job involves grinding and painting), not the environment I want my GMT II c in. So I picked this up today to wear as my daily work watch, and I have to say I'm impressed. What do you all think?

Does kinetic mean automatic? Nice find.

No your wrist movement charges a battery cell and this powers the watch, but in the respect you wear it to power it then yes.

the movement actually has a rotor that spins like the automatic but it has the quartz movement. very unique but the invicta 8926 is cheaper in price but has an automatic soul for less than $100

Give the Kinetic a good shake for 2 - 3 minutes and it'll run for 3 months with quartz accuracy.
