Have had my Arctura Kinetic for about a month now. I like it a lot.
br /The band adjustment was quite easy and the clasp mechanism is elegant and easy to use without pinching the skin on your wrist.
br /The design of the watch is what drew me to it and the quality of construction is Seiko through and through.
br /The clock hands are a bit difficult to see in low light, but not impossible. The timer hands are also a bit difficult to see, being red against black. An interesting alteration would be to have the timer hands painted ochre yellow, which might and to the high tech look.
br /Not sure why the timer only goes to 45 minutes, but as a radio commercial producer I'm usually working in 60-second bites anyway.

I bought this watch 20 days back and it's simply great. You will love this watch. I have all friends ask about the watch from the day one and its looks cool and elegant.
br /
br /Only problem is that the steel get scratched very soon, especially the metal clasp on the strap looks messy after lots of tiny scratches.
br /
br /Note: There is no skeleton case back that lets you see the watch's inner mechanics. This is wrong information on the product description.
br /
br /Apart from these things, this will be a great buy, I fully recommended this.

This is a very sporty and classy watch.
br /Don't hesitate to buy this item.
br /Only thing is, since the strap is rubber, once you adjust the strap size for your wrist, you can't readjust it.(keep that in mind)
br /I'm getting a lot of compliments about this watch.

This is an elegant watch, but it is difficult to read it, especialy without good lighting.
"Cool" watch

Wear this and be prepared to receive many compliments.

br /The feel-good factor of owning such a watch is probably the biggest attraction.
br /
br /Downsides, one is that the face of the actual time is rather small (only about a quarter of the watch surface is dedicated to its primary function) however you get used to it within a few hours. Bottom line is that it becomes a non-issue. Secondly, because it is an automatic watch, it tends to be a bit thicker than battery operated quartz watches. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

This watch is very aesthetic, the band is incredibly comfortable (being made of rubber as opposed to metal, leather or cloth), durable and quite the conversation piece. Have received many compliments and much interest in it. Stopwatch function works just fine. Also, for its size, fact that it is automatic and has a stopwatch, is very lightweight. The crystal is also durable and extremely scratch resistant.
