I paid under a hundred dollars for this watch over ten years ago. It keeps excellent time, within five seconds a month, and the band and case have held up very well.

I cracked the crystal on the edge about 4 years ago, but got used to it and kept wearing it as is. Well the other day it got very hot and to its demise the twelve o'clock indicator fell of. It's now swimming inside the crystal, so I have to retire it.

I love it so much, I am buying another. I have other more expensive watches, but I don't know why, because this is the one I wear ninety-nine percent of the time.

A great price for a great watch!

Great watch. It is the latest incarnation of the first watch I bought during my first summer job out of High School back in the late 70's. It is excellent, compact, and very durable.

BUY AN EXTRA BAND while it is still an in-stock item. The band is the one part that wears out.

great watch, stylish, slim, durable, accurate, great price, date in english and spanish, hands glow in the dark enough to read the time, the only thing is that you have to adjust the date on some months because of long and short months (29 vs 31 days/month).
I highly recomend this watch, is a must have

This is a simple, straightforward, classic style watch for those who want to know the time, day and date. It is not novelty jewelery that you will throw away after a few months. The white face makes the hands easy to read and the hands glow well in the dark. The stainless steel case and band wear well without showing age. I particularly like the smaller sized links on this band which make it flexible and easy to wear. The band sizing is easy to perform. This is actually the second watch of this same model I purchased just to have a spare in case the model is cancelled. The first one actually lost time after 12 months, but Seiko replaced the movement under the 3 year warranty (save your receipt). Otherwise it is very accurate and reliable. I expect to get at least 5 years use; my prior Seikos ran for 20 years.

Clean, crisp styling in a Seiko Classic. I bought an earlier iteration of this watch in Japan in 1969 and wore it for 30 years. After that, no other watch I tried seemed right, so I bought this one. My best bet is that 30 years from now, Seiko will still be making a watch that looks just like this one -- it has that kind of timeless appeal.
