Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive is the embodiment of the Seiko's ‘emotional technology’. It offers valuable additions to the ecological and convenience advantages of every Seiko Kinetic watch. As in all existing Kinetic calibers, the wearer automatically generates electrical energy by her/his wrist movement.
Unlike a solar powered watch that you can recharge by merely exposing it to light, you need to wear a Kinetic as often as possible. And if you're a physically active person, a Seiko Kinetic would be right for you. The Seiko Kinetic is an interesting hybrid movement combining the best of mechanical and quartz technologies.
Seiko Auto Relay Kinetics tend to be blingy and dressy, not really my kind of watch. On the flip side, having a very large power reserve also means that a lot of wrist motion is required to charge the LiOn cell to its fullest capacity.
Seiko's decision to equip their Kinetic movements starting from the 5M6x caliber onwards with the lithium ion cell (and ditching the old capacitor storage unit) was a wise one. Not only the LiOn cells were more reliable than the capacitor, they offered a much larger power holding capacity. This is capacity is also called the "power reserve".
You may have noticed that Seiko has not released Kinetic models for women for decades. Actually, Seiko Kinetics have a good market share and there shouldn't be any reason why they shouldn't make Kinetic watches for the ladies too.
Actually Seiko did experiment with Kinetics for women (like very early 3M caliber) in the 1990s and then decided to discontinue Kinetics for ladies. My best educated guess is - it was largely a marketing failure. Women typically consider wrist watches as accessories that tell the time.
