Automatic movements, like those in the Seiko Presage, are prized for their craftsmanship and self-winding mechanism.

Quartz movements, found in models like the Seiko Essentials, offer high precision and reliability. Each movement type has its benefits, allowing you to choose based on your priorities.
Power reserve indicates how long a watch can run without being wound or exposed to light (for solar models). A longer power reserve means less frequent winding or charging, enhancing convenience.
