Hi guys,

Quick questions does kinetic movement class as quartz or automatic or combination between the two?
And does kinetic movement loosing any seconds on a daily usage like automatic or are they accurate like quartz?

I'd say it's a mix of both, the automatic part of it keeps the battery charged. Basically you have a quartz watch (with the same accuracy) with an automatic system that keeps it charged.

Ultimately the battery used is what i was purposely avoiding when i bought my first automatic watch. So for me i would call it quartz...it is a brilliant invention, just not something i would put in the same category as a mechanical / automatic watch.

It has a quartz crystal oscillator so it's a quartz.
