Re: Seiko makes automatics too!! >>

hey, what's wrong with seiko. they make a good quality watch too. and i agree with dave. some people just can't and don't want to be bothered. besides it depends on your lifestyle. if you want something that can "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'" then the quartz is your best bet. but if you want something that you have to bother with and has "soul" then of course the auto. whether it's a full size or a mid size depends on your wrist and how it looks in your eyes. i myself chose a mid size quartz because it just looked better on me. the full sized seemed too clunky and big. and for the choice of the quartz well, i too don't want to be bothered and i am rough with my stuff. besides, i hate being late and the quartz gets me there on time. hey, just remember this JAMES BOND'S FIRST CHOICE WAS A QUARTZ! with all the tight situations he's in i'm amazed that his auto kept on working. of course, it's only a movie.
