This is really a bargain of a watch. I've looked at this watch several times on AliExpress and the only drawback is the watch is a bit too small for my 7"wrist. However, I love the domed crystal and bead blasted case finish. It really looks great.

I got my Tristar for very cheap back in 2019 just under £65 ($80), I'm actually surprised at how much the price has increased almost tripled in barely 5 years.

I have no problem with a copy, as long as the watch they are copying is at least 50 years old. This is a beautiful little watch, and if my wrists were smaller, I would buy it in a New York minute ! So I bought a Militado ML05 instead. But Thank YOU for the review of this fine little watch !

Looks good to be honest somewhat like hamilton khaki field watch i guess
@TheeYellowDart23 күн бұрын
It's a field watch, practically all field watches are copies of something. The fact that it isn't a Marathon, Benrus or Hamilton doesn't really change anything. They basically made a very convincing dead ringer that would allow people to enjoy the vintage size and aesthetic. I've been hoping for years now that Hamilton would release a 36mm or 34mm (like the original), Khaki Field Mechanical. But no, they kept the 38mm with very long lugs...and even made a 42mm later on. I have a Hamilton 46374B, and I would buy this quartz watch as it saves wear and tear on the original. It's a faithful reproduction, and I appreciate that. There are bad mechanical copies that exist that are fooling people into paying ridiculous money all the time. At least this is affordable and has decent build quality

Kinetic is far different from Spring Drive , they are not the same . The second hand on a spring drive is a smooth constant sweep the "$150 alternative" isn't even a comparison .

@@WristSaga I figured , I am at work watching you tube videos with CC on . Sometimes makes it difficult . The Kinetic movement is still a great movement and even owned a Seiko Kinetic watch for a few years , had a colored energy gauge showing how much was stored was pretty cool .
@markiangooley29 күн бұрын
A photovoltaic cell under the dial accomplishes the same thing. Citizen does it that way. It’s easy to fake a smooth movement of the seconds hand. The Bulova Precisionist watches do it despite being quartz. I think they need big lithium cells because they use more electric power, possibly due to the 262,144 Hz oscillator rather than the usual 32,768 Hz one usual with quartz watches.
@WristSaga28 күн бұрын
Seiko did the same thing with their solar models, but a high beat quartz would consume a lot of energy, much more than a solar panel or a kinetic capacitor could handle.

I got a fully lumed Seiko Kinetic 5M42-0D30 for about $200 and it's been my daily driver! Great size, looks nice, very practical. And because I work in the trades, I'm always moving to keep it charged. It's basically my "grail watch" apart from that I wish my model had a larger power reserve (more than a week) and better water resistance (3ATM). Those were solved in future Kinetic models, but I've had trouble finding one I like the look of that is in a smaller size like 38mm.
@WristSaga28 күн бұрын
Good to hear other owners saying good things about the Kinetic line👏🏻 I saw that most of them come in a bigger package than 38mm, maybe due to the movement itself and rotor included.
