I bought this watch back in 1982 while I was on my first deployment with the U.S. Navy. I bought another one 18 months later while on my second deployment and mailed the first one to my mother. My mother still wears hers every day and so did I until a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, I took it to a watch repair shop because water was fogging up the crystal. I also decided to have it cleaned (for the first time) and it hasn't worked right since. Mine still has the original band. Nobody could believe how old that watch was.

Being in the Navy for 20 years, having a watch that keeps accurate time was very important. My watch was always within a couple of seconds of the ship's official time.

We both had a good laugh when I was going through some old paperwork from my early Navy days and I came across the 3 year warranty paperwork for the watches.

I HIGHLY recommend this watch to anyone who wants a trouble-free watch that keeps accurate time and looks great with whatever you wear. I plan to buy another one and I'm sure that it will last me another 20 years.

I have owned two of these watches (only because I lost the first). It is a classic...keeps its luster year after year.

Seiko watches in my opinion are just about perfect. I only gave it 4 stars because I figure there are some thousand dollar watches that are probably better! But if you're like me and want a watch that will last a very long time with a timeless style, this is the watch for you. It is very comfortable to wear, and looks very classy. I have had mine for several years and other than an occasional battery, it runs perfectly and has caused me no problems at all. I love Seiko watches and for this price, you won't be disappointed.
