I was talking to a co-worker during a training session, and I noticed he was wearing a Seiko 5 (Automatic Watch) which was well worn. He told me it was 10 years old now, and still works great with no servicing. His previous watch was a Seiko 5 which he wore for 20 YEARS with no service. He just got sick of the styling and gave it away. Think about that. Something that costs less than $100 lasting 20 years with no maintenance. We are not talking about something sitting on a shelf here. This is something strapped to your arm, with endless shocks, exposure to temperature extremes, and water. Yet, this humble, little watch lasted 20 years with no complaint, and as far as we know, it is still ticking away somewhere. I wish they could make everything that well.
