I purchase this Seiko at what I consider to be a bargain price which was offered for one day only. The watch band is a bit flimsy and I see no point in having some of the days displayed in red on the date space but aside from that the watch is most attractive and has a "quality" look. I have owned it for a very short time but it seems to function properly and the price was right and the service from Amazon was impressive.

Our first Pulsar watch was bought nearly 30 yr. ago, has been worn almost daily and it still runs, although it shows exterior wear. The battery has been replaced about every 3 yr. From about 18 yr. ago and until about 3 yr. ago there was a Seiko outlet store near us and we bought other Pulsar and Seiko watches for the family. We have been very satisfied with the value, quality, style and reliability of Seiko watches. The reviewed purchase (SWZ056) is very similar in function and appearance to the 30 yr. old Pulsar, except for the face color (gold vs. white). The watch is sufficiently large to tell time easily, but not so large as to appear bulky. On viewing the photo of this watch on Amazon, we were initially concerned about ability to distinguish the gold hands on the gold face. While they are not as clearly visible as gold on white, differentiation is better than the Amazon picture reveals and it has not been a problem so far (1 month's use). (The preferred gold hands-on-white face was much more expensive!) The gold-silver styling of the SWZ056 watch enables it to be worn with gold or silver accessories and has a style suitable for daily or dress-up (but not formal) wear. This style watch band has been problem free in past purchases.

I have owned this brand of watch in the past and have been very
happy with the quality. The price was great and I compared this watch
at other websites but came back to Amazon. It is always helpful to read
the reviews...it has saved me some costly mistakes in the past.

This is indeed a lovely watch, but the description said that it was waterproof to 100 ft, but the watch was marked for only being waterproof for splashes or rain. Since I want to swim in my watch, I returned it.

I got my watch maybe about a year or 2 ago and it has endured a pretty good beating. I love watches and the only thing I don't like about this one is that the crystal is beat up pretty bad and I was under the impression that it would not scratch as easily. It's a nice looking watch and I love it although I ready for something new.
