I must admit that i have also seen some folks stating they are hard to come by. But I got 2 of the models 3 weeks ago at very good prices. I just don't think people are looking hard enough - or don't want to order on line. Thats fine - its their choice. But here in the UK if we don't order on-line (and usually from abroad) we end up paying 50% over.

Something i have seen though is that prices are going up. I could go to 3 very good on line stores now and get good deals - but maybe 10% higher than what they were only a few weeks ago. Strange

They are out there.

Gotta disagree about the power reserve button - i think they are a pretty handy

Personally i am glad they are kinetic. I think it adds to the watch and am glad that Seiko are sticking with them (even though they are also expanding their solar ranges)
