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 differenceWhen 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 futureToday, 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.

Customer Reviews

I was surprised by the large size and weight of this watch. The only problem is that the band comes sized for a giant and cannot be adjusted simply. For 20 years I have had watches with link bands with a simple clasp that has easy and obvious adjustability. I am disappointed that neither Amazon nor Princeton give any advice on this. Pulsar's web site says to take it to a certified Pulsar dealer.
Amazon has tools for removing the pins that hold the links. Search for watch band pin remover. Some of the customer comments there are very helpful to understand the mechanical process for removing links to shorten the band.
But if you are at all handy at fixing things you can do it with two simple tools. A small pliers, preferably a bent-nose needle nose, and a small drift punch. That's a punch with a flat, not pointed, face. No hammer required, just hand pressure. If you don't have a punch, you can fashion one from almost anything. One guy claimed using a paper clip.
On the inside of the band at the pin location find the arrow that tells you from which side to press out the pin. Press the pin, you will feel it move with a slight snap. Then with the pliers pull it out the other side. But pull it out slowly and look carefully at the pin as it comes out.
The pin also has an arrow which tells you the direction and orientation for re-inserting later. The end of the pin its arrow points to has a tiny circular shape cut into the side. This provides the locking snap you can barely hear.
I removed two links from one side and one on the other, which shortened the band about 1 1/8 inch.
For finer adjustment there are three positions for the pin that holds the clasp to the band. This looks to be a standard spring loaded watch band pin, not like the solid pins in the links. I didn't need to use them, so I didn't attempt to remove it.
That's it. Good luck.
Later observation. The luminous dial does not work. 10 minutes after lights out, the hand luminosity disappears. Very disappointing.

This watch is great, it looks very nice and is very reliable. I bought one last year for my husband, he likes it and wears it every day. Even after a year it hardly shows any wear. It is a nice watch for every day and as a dress watch, too. We are very happy with it, it is worth his prize. It is easy to read, there is no guess what the exact time is and it has the date as well. All in one a wonderful watch.
