... Almost without fail, the automatic Seiko diver watches have received fantastic reviews. While they're not as accurate as quartz models, the vast majority of watches leave the factory pretty much on-time or running a little fast. What's the big deal if you arrive five minutes early for a business appointment or train departure, anyway? Most of us could use the extra help....
The luminox's are a different from the others. It is true that they are disposal watches, as are the G-Shocks and Ironmans. The 3001 series are quartz, have plastic lenses and are waterproof for 100-200 meters depending on the model. The best part is the radioactive tritium vials that will glow for about 15 years. The plastic element is shatter proof. These watches are task watches (beaters). So if they are designed for short term use and replacement.

shootist16, tell them about your O&W. Now that's a sweet automatic with a Rolex movement at a great price. I love mine! Have you bought any more watches.
I think that running 5 seconds fast a day is more like it. Also, I'm not too sure, but I've read on the watch forums about how more money usually does not translate into a more accurate auto.Originally posted by Sundsvall
I am a fan of the automatic Seikos, they are definitely the most bang for your buck for a tanklike automatic diver.
That said, there is an inherent problem with running fast. If you are fast 5 minutes a day, in 7 days you will be 35 minutes fast. In 14 days you will be 70 minutes fast. So wearing such a watch will require you to set your watch daily. In fact, you will have to search for an accurate time source to set your watch by, daily.

There are auto watches out there that are accurate as a razor like Rolex Submariner and Patak Philip watches, which will lose 1 second every month. But we are talking about a lot more money now.

What do you mean by "disposal" watch? If a watch is suitable to wear now, why would it not be suitable to wear later?
