The Pulsar Story
Pulsar by Seiko Holdings Corporation.
A spectacular breakthrough
Pulsar was born in an age of optimism. In the 1970's, everything seemed achievable through the rapidly growing technological expertise at the world's fingertips. Space flight had been converted from dream to reality, computer science was developing at break neck speed and electronics seemed to deliver new advances every day. Pulsar symbolized the age. It was new and it was bold, it was surprising and it was different. Pulsar, the world's first electronic digital watch, created a sensation when it was unveiled in New York in 1972 and it changed the world's perception of time.
A tradition of difference
When the brand was taken into the Seiko Corporation in 1980, it brought further surprises to the world; the first calculator watch in 1980 and the first all-quartz watch line in 1981 were among its industry-leading achievements. And throughout the '80's and 90's Pulsar continued to bring to market new products that were born to be different. The Avant-garde collection in 1980's set a new style in women's watches and Spoon in 1990's were unique designs which further cemented Pulsar's image as an ingenious and surprising watchmaker.
Towards a modernist future
Today, Pulsar remains loyal to its heritage. It was born to be different and it will remain so. Each Pulsar watch has the hint of the futurism and modernity that have always been its hallmark. Pulsar is a brand for the individual who appreciates real value and seeks quality with individuality and flair.

This review is from: Pulsar Women's PXU012 Watch (Watch)
I needed a wristwatch to replace the one which got accidentally included in the laundry. I contemplated on getting the cheaper ones but upon reading the reviews I got concerned with the quality issues that other customers experienced. So I decided to get a watch which I considered a bit pricey but which will not give me a problem. My husband pointed out this watch - Pulsar PXU012 - when we were in a department store last December. He said that Pulsar is a good brand and that it is also made by Seiko. So I shopped for it online. During the shopping online - I vaccillated between PXU012 and PXT234S (both are Pulsar watches). I liked the latter because I liked the brown leather band, the more artistic hour numbers and that the hour and minute dials are gold colored at their center joint. But the PXT234S did not say that it is water resistant. So I decided to get the PXU012 from Amazon because it is the lowest priced at the time I got it. I actually ordered it initially from...Read more

This watch is a piece of junk. I would return it but I have had it to long so I will trash it. I went to check the time the other day and the face of the watch is so scratched up I could hardly see it. Never seen anything like this before. I have know idea what I could have done to cause this. Out of 20 watches I have had in my 63 years this is the first time this has happened to me.

I have been using a Pulsar digital watch for years. Pulsar quit making them and I have worn out three watch bands and keeping my watch running. It finally died and I had to find a new one. This watch is the nearest thing I have found to replace my old one.
