Its a sleek looking watch - and that is a good price (the bay has em for >$380). The movement is an automatic quartz:Isn't that a fancy term for Kinetic???:P Sweet watch, get it if you like ithand6.gif
The Oakley® Inertial Generator® converts human motion into electrical current. The spin of a precision flywheel mechanism, the O Engine®, charges a lithium capacitor that powers the chronometer. The ghost in the machine is the O Engine®, a precision flywheel designed to utilize multiple vectors of motion. Rather than coiling a conventional mainspring, it torques a subminiature generator to drive the process of electromagnetism that calibrates with the cadence of crystal current.
Pretty cool imho... hand6.gif
