Thinking of picking one up. How durable are these?

^^^ Yes, movement is practically indestructible under normal use, and intentional abuse.

That's not a recommendation for a full (movement) service, it's only a recommendation to have the seals inspected. They do this because it's still a professional dive watch, so they have to recommend that you look at the gaskets every couple of years.

Manual of my new BFK also mentions it.

As long as you wear them at least once every two weeks or so, Kinetic are great watches, especially as a daily driver. They like to be used to keep charged.

As stated above, if you're not going to wear it regularly, don't get a kinetic.

The SUN series are pretty darn tough. Unless you're running a jackhammer 40+ hours a week, you shouldn't worry. I've worn mine while running a chainsaw, mower, trimmer, blower, drill, sander, etc... with zero issues. I've also dinged mine around quite a bit with no ill effects.

I think your wrist would probably give way first.

Had a SUN023 and loved it until I saw a SUN045 50th Anniversary Model. What got me was the all black shroud and case. The accuracy is exceptional and set it once 4 months ago and is off by 1 second.....Also took off the rubber strap and put on a kevlar strap.
