The watch itself, is awesome. It's comfortable, goes well with any outfit, and best of all its automatic, so no new battery for a long while. Checkout process was fast and easy only issue was the warranty and authenticity card that usually comes with the watch from Seiko was missing. Also it was a store display watch, wish I could have gotten a new, never opened watch box. Overall I'm still satisfied with my purchase, Seiko watches have lasted me years with no issues so I expect this one to be the same great quality.

No good

I have owned a lot of high end time pieces in my life. I gifted my Seiko sea urchin to my tour guide on a trip when I was on a vacation. My friend got me this as a gift because of how much I used to gripe about not having a solid work horse watch that wouldnt get me mugged in foreign countries. I switched out the rubber straps with brown leather straps and the dark brown sundust dial now pops!!! Talk about bag for your buck. The movement is so sold. I wish the pics did this watch justice

Much thicker (.5 inch) than I imagined, but it is still a clean design. The white, inner face lining has depth not visible from the 90 degree flat picture. The bezel is easy to grasp and turns smoothly. The back side of the wristband has a somewhat flat, not "woven" design like the front, but that's okay with me. Finally, there are enough holes in it to accommodate smaller or larger wrists, and the keeper moves freely. Simple, practical, but overall, a nice addition to any watch collection.

Gorgeous watch - however movement looks smooth initially but for some reason every single day the watch needs to be reset and randomly stops. The watch fails to fulfill its one sole purpose, tell the time. Very bizarre for an entry level luxury watch. Sending it in for repair, looked it up, its clearly an issue many other owners have. Faulty qualty control testing from Seiko - shame to see that from such a good company.

Water resistant and easy to read the time and I love it specially I’m in the movie theater it’s readable in the dark. I m not a fan of Modern watches, the wrist watch should be simple and easy. For the price it’s really a bargain made in Japan and automatic omg this is really a great deal. Im very please and very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.

This is a very solid entry level mechanical watch - a good entry point into the watch hobby. It's styled after the old Seiko SKX dive watches, which is a very iconic look. The dial is a nice sunburst, the handset is bold and attractive, the lume is amazing, the movement is solid, and I appreciate that even for a ~43mm case, this watch wears very well on small wrists like mine and doesn't look like a dinner plate on your wrist like a lot of cheap fashion watches at this price point. But it does have some negatives. I don't like the rubber strap at all - it feels cheap and looks odd with its faux mesh pattern, and I'm always fiddling with it. On the case, the crown guards are inexplicably angled downward so they dig into my wrist, which is not comfortable and a baffling design choice. I think the case shape is very thick and doesn't wear very well with sleeves. And finally I think the number font on the bezel is just ugly. But still a very good value. You may just want to upgrade soon!

Great value for the money. The rubber strap is kinda grabby, but otherwise no issues whatsoever and the watch is running within 5 seconds a day.
