Seiko started in 1881 in Tokyo. The Seiko Watch became a household name in 1938 due to its superiority in accuracy. Seiko Watches began mass production due to overwhelming demand for its products. Seiko has a lot to be proud of including an excellent reputation based on the performance of the Seiko Watches.

The company has a lot of innovations all embodied in Seiko Watches including the design of the first quartz watch and the first LCD quartz watch. According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite", "minute", or "success".

In 1969, Seiko introduced the Seiko Astron, the world's first production of quartz watch; when it was introduced, it cost the same as a medium-sized car. Seiko later went on to introduce the first quartz chronograph.

Seiko is perhaps known best, though, for its wristwatches. Seiko is known for their advanced technology and is one of the few wristwatch manufacturers that produce all of their watches and movements entirely in-house. Even minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials are produced by the Seiko factories.

Seiko produces both quartz and mechanical watches. Seiko's mechanical watches are the most prized by collectors—from the Seiko "5" series (the 5 is proposed to reflect 5 essential features of the watch namely shockproof, waterproof, automatic, with day and date display), which is the most common, the Seiko automatic Chronometer series.

Seiko Kinetic watches account for a large proportion of sales nowadays and combine the self-energizing attributes of an automatic watch with quartz accuracy. The Seiko Kinetic Watch is known for conserving energy, and this Seiko Watch can literally go off when not worn and then come back on when it is needed.

Seiko also has several other innovations in the Seiko Watches. If you are looking for a gift for yourself, a friend or a company function. Do not forget our commitment to offering you a wide range of Seiko and other watches at the very low prices.
