This is also an automatic movement but it has a battery instead of a spring
So its the complexity of both for what benefit exactly? Why would you choose a movement like this over a true mechanical or a solar quartz if you wanted quartz accuracy with a rechargeable battery?
Automatics are substantially more interesting from a design perspective than quartz. Hopefully one day we can have kinetic powered smart watches, but until then kinetic charging is niche at best.

There are plenty of interesting and "cool" quartz watches out there that I wouldn't necessarily consider smart. Heck even the Rolex oysterquartz is a pretty interesting implementation of a quartz movement. Just about any g-shock is a worthy contender here and not to mention solar powered watches like citizen and cartiers. Also don't forget about the grand seiko spring drive… essentially a hybrid quartz/mechanical

If you are going electric over smart watches, get the one that is actually repairable and does not have a non-removable lithium ion battery that essentially makes it a consumable item that will end up in a landfill within a few years time [Quartz].

To restate some of the earlier comments, basically, this is a rechargeable quartz watch that depends upon wrist movement to recharge the battery, actually a capacitor. The idea was the accuracy of quartz without the inconvenience of having to replace the battery every couple of years. The reality was that the Seiko kinetics were not efficient in transferring / converting the energy from the wrist movement to the capacitor). To remain fully charged, the Seiko kinetics required the wearer to be a very active person to keep the capacitor at an adequate charge level. Unfortunately, the watches were not tolerant of becoming completely depleted which resulted in not only the inconvenience of trying to restart / reset the watch but also affected the durability of the capacitor. Ultimately, solar powered watches were developed that were much more reliable (i.e., the Citizen's Eco Drive) which resulted in the Seiko kinetics becoming a niche product. About the only use case where the kinetic makes sense is an active person who works night shift or lives in the extreme latitudes of the planet where daytime is short duration or non-existent for extended periods.
As you can probably guess by now, I am an avid watch collector. Do not even know how many watches that I own but do not have even one Seiko kinetic for the reasons stated above. For the most part, I wear automatics. I have many quartz watches but almost all of those are solar powered with the exception of a few Bulovas with the very accurate (and hypnotically smooth sweeping second hand) Precisionist movement.
BTW, I have bought watches from Joma. It is an established off shore watch dealer, believe they are located in either Hong Kong or Singapore. As someone else noted, these will be grey market (for the US) meaning that the only warranty will be the Seiko International which will require you to send to Japan (I think) for repairs.

working in there.
The original "Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay" differs from probably the current generation in that after a "few days" of inactivity, it stops moving all the hands but keeps "ticking and track the time", and it was suppose to keep time for up to 4 years in this dormant state. I had never attempted to try to test except I can tell you it does work for "Weeks".

once the watch is vigorously awakened, the all 3 hands self corrects to the proper "time". Of course, the calendar (day) will be "OFF", but that's expected behavior -- you just adjust the date to the proper "day.
I had used the watch in lake swimming, in showers, etc without too much worrying about it, as it was suppose to be rated for those kind of activities.
It still keeps very good time for something that's 25 years old. and I never had to replace any batteries. I did have to get the pin that goes into the case replaced a few times, but that's normal wear & tear.
You do have to stay active, and keep the watch properly wound. I would take the watch and do some circular spins to wind the rotor to charge it for 2-3 minutes, if I know I'm not going to use it for a while, and it's never failed me yet.
