Fun facts about the D1 Polycarbon
Is polycarbonate durable for daily use?
Yes. Polycarbonate is a lightweight and robust technical material, chosen to absorb minor impacts well and reduce weight on the wrist. The Soft Touch finish adds comfort and grip.
What does mineral glass with anti-reflective coating mean?
Mineral glass is a balanced choice to keep costs and weight down. The anti-reflective coating reduces glare and improves readability. If you are looking for maximum scratch resistance, sapphire crystal remains superior.
5 ATM or 10 ATM: can I shower or swim with it?
5 ATM is suitable for rain, washing hands, and light showers, avoiding hot water and direct jets. 10 ATM is more suitable for swimming and water activities. In both cases, a securely closed crown and well-maintained seals make the difference.
What maintenance does the Seiko TMI VJ21 quartz movement require?
It is a reliable movement that is simple to manage. Generally, it only needs a battery replacement when it runs out, plus periodic checks of the seals and water resistance.
Why is the Soft Touch so distinctive?
Because it changes the feel on the wrist: it is a matte, velvety finish that is less cold than metal. It also reinforces the monochromatic aesthetic typical of Polycarbon.
