The world's first quartz wristwatch, officially launched on December 25, 1969, was the Seiko Quartz ASTRON, which broke new ground in global timekeeping. The quartz frequency of this watch was 8,192 Hz, a quarter of the quartz frequency of a quartz watch. One of the most distinctive features of this quartz watch is an open motor that allows the second hand to run second by second, which has long been a key feature of quartz watches.

Most of Seiko's watches are fitness models, which are relatively sturdy and wear-resistant, with thicker movements for better winding efficiency and shock resistance, and at a more affordable price for the general public.
