Don't have to tell them anything. Cause when they decide to grow up they will know their mistake. Them missing out so many years is enough punishment. :p

if you wear watches for yourself, no problem.

its when you wear them for others - no end to questions and self doubts i.e. lots of problems.

All the seiko fan lai liao. :)

Seiko movement is really solid. I love modding the watch with custom parts to suit my personality.

It's cool to see how a $80+ watch can mod to look it like a $200 dress watch. Of Coz, the in house movement plays a part too!

There are generally only 2 types - mechanical and Quartz

Mechanical watches further divided into automatic and manual

I suggest you google to find out more, it's common knowledge

There are Rolex omega automatics too

It's just that Seiko 5s offers an inexpensive mass produced yet reliable movement for the masses and that definition in no way demeans it's impact.

Many aficionados started off with seiko 5s

i doubt is common knowledge but rather information are readily available on the net.

you will be surprised that a lot of people don't know the different between a quartz and mechanical watches.

some of them see seiko 5 or any other watches that is mechanical, will ask if the battery life is long anot. haha

tell them automatic, they say what's that.
sell them manual winding, they go :s11:

In layman terms, quartz = need to change battery
Mechanical = don't need to change battery

Keep things simple. Lol

Must give credit to the movement. No adjustment needed after running in the winder for a week. Keeps good time!
Unusual choice for ladies, but a fine watch nonetheless.
