Watch keeps excellent time. I check it often with my cell phone. I think the secret to having it keep good time is that I wear it all the time except when I shower (soap scum, etc). The band is comfortable and the watch looks good.

Product is good quality but lacks the accuracy about 10 minuets fast in two weeks, the barcelet 2 star only

My Seiko diver watch is my daily watch and the rubber band started to fade and crack. So I replaced it with this new rubber band and it fits perfectly. Made of high quality rubber and I know it'll last. Very affordable and can easily replace every couple of years.

I bought this watch a couple months ago and it is superb. It IS a BIG watch but I am a big man and it looks quite hansom on my wrist,but if your not a big guy I woudnt recommend this model. Now onto the timekeeping.When I received the watch it ran a bit fast (30 sec. daily) so instead of waiting the 6 weeks to sent it to Seiko for repair, I took it to the local Seiko dealership/jeweler and had them regulate it for $30, well worth the money and now it runs great. This watch is an absolute tank, I wear it every day, it gets banged around quite a bit, and there has yet to be even the slightest scratch in the hardlex crystal.

I love this watch,
I thought by looking at the pictures and reading other comments that it was going to be big and bulky. I was immediately surprised at how light it was. It is easy to read and keeps good time. It is also a very handsome watch. The rotating bezel is a quick and easy way to time anything (lasting less than a hour). Highly recommended!

I received the product early, and was just what I expected. Nice packaging and great product. I would buy again... Thanks Amazon!

Oddly, the SKX175 I received is actually a SKX009K! What a steal at $129!

The watch is a 5-star based on price alone. But the jubilee bracelet gets a 1-star!! It's cheap feeling and loose. The center links are fold-over, NOT solid. At this price though, it's not surprising that something got cheaped out like that.

Overall, I give it a 4-star rating. Missing tag!!! False advertising (perhaps to the benefit, as the 009K is perceived a little better) that it's really a SKX009K rather than a SKX175 (has Singapore labeling on lower edge of dialface, whereas the SKX009K does not have any country markings). Great buy for sure!!

cheers

Just got this watch used off of ebay for $80 and free shipping. It is a large heavy watch that is no frills but if you are looking for a bulletproof timepiece that you can take everywhere this is for you. I have a citizen (100m) that has fogged twice because the seals failed.
My watch is running fast so it will need to go back to Seiko for repair. The Seiko booklets says that +- 15 seconds a MONTH is normal, not +- 30 seconds a day!So KOON NANG is not correct. Automatic Seikos are expected to keep very accurate time.

Listen people. Automatic watches are never that accurate. +/- 30 seconds a day is acceptable. Please beware and do more research before investing not just in this Seiko but in ANY automatic watches

The seiko divers watch is exactly what I was looking for. Waterproof and durable. Plus it is a good looking watch.

I have been looking for this exact watch for the past year after the same model that I have had since 1980 died. This watch should last me as long as my first watch that I used to scuba dive in Guam, Spain,The Red Sea, Palua, Japan, Thailand,and several other areas around the world. I have had this watch on as Aircrew on Navy planes for over 6000 flight hours. It has been dropped and banged around more than any watch needs to be and it only failed after 25 years of near constant use. Hope they still make this model in 2031 when I will need it's replacement!

This watch is a classic. I have no issues with it losing minutes. i am very tough on watches, i never take them off, and this watch has been a real tank. i was needlessly worried that the red and blue dial would chip or be scratched off. i am amazed that it has not b/c i have accidentally scraped, smashed it into doors, walls etc...same for the dial, tough as diamonds. it is a BIG watch, so it may not be for everyone, but if you like the styling, it is a steal. and the seals will never weaken b/c it will never be opened to change a battery. i am very impressed.

I love the look of my Seiko. It's the best for the money. I will buy more Seikos in the future. It's a great product.

I bought this watch a little bit after Christmas. I love the watch. I've been wanting this watch for a long time. I think this is the best deal that I saw for this watch thats why I didn't even wait. Shipping is very fast i got it the next day. I never had any problems with this watch. This is a what I call a Jackpot Buy. Thanks Amazon.

FYI - Automatic watches are not going to keep perfect time. It is one of the major differences between the Automatic movement and the Quartz movement. Quartz will always be more accurate.

This item was received in a timely maner. Everything was as advertized. I would recommend this buyer with a 5 plus.

I have the same problem as someone who has already written here. The watch runs too fast and makes 1 extra minute a day. Basically, it's impossible to use other than the short dive. The guy who wrote about Rolex and Patec apparently has neither of them. Frankly, neither have I. But I do have Omega and this Seiko could not be even remotely compared to it.

This watch is very disappointing. It runs about 5 to 6 minutes fast a week. Very annoying. I see from another review mine is not an isolated case. Seiko said I'd have to pay shipping and it would take up to 6 weeks turn around on the repairs. Poor customer service for a brand new watch, what a rip off.

The watch is truly nice and well made. The only problem is that it makes an extra minute per day. A bit annoying.

...not to slight Casio, it has its place. However, this watch I've owned for over a year and it looks and feels like a Rolex GMT in heft and quality. The question is why would anyone want to spend $5k on a Rolex when it costs the manufacturer less than a grand to produce this watch? Resaleability, you say? Watches are not investments, they're jewelry or tools (preferably for real men). As such, they are all poor investments, sans the occasional Patek. But who has upwards of $20k to spend? I first boiled and then immediately froze this Seiko in my frezer; you know what? It still keeps fairly accurate time and never skipped a beat. Excellent quality for the money. Save the other $4800 and invest it in a quality mutual fund instead.

The watch runs fast - about 1 minute per two day period. Not what I expect from Seiko

This watch is absolutely amazing. I received it ahead of schedule and was impressed with the packaging. A classic and very impressive timepiece. I was eager to wear my new watch and have been wearing it ever since. I have not been disappointed with it's performance. This is my first purchase of jewerly from Amazon and I will definitely do this again. Excellent service!

I've had a Seiko 200m diver for 7 years now and it is just as good if not better than the Tags, Omegas, Tissots and various other swiss watches I've owned. What it may lack in "prestige" it more than makes up for in quality build, reliabilty and just plain toughness. With a oyster style band this watch has been mistaken for a Rolex GMT many times. I've used this watch as my main diving watch for years and it performs better than any other watch I have ever used, super bright markers, very accurate automatic 21 jewel movement, just a great watch. Much better diver than my Brietling which cost me over $1000. This is a bargin for the price.

I ordered this watch sight unseen at 11:00am. It arrived in Phoenix from Dallas by Fedex the next morning. It is nice to know that there are still companies that offer this level of service. Thanks Watchzone for the beautiful watch.

As for the watch itself, I've only had it for a few hours. Here are my first impressions: It is massive and manly, made of highly polished stainless steel with a dark blue face and a rotating blue and red bezel. A Diver's watch, it is rated for immersion in saltwater to 200 meters. It is automatic and so no battery is needed. The luminous paint used on the hands and hour marks is not tritium but a glow-in-the-dark paint that Seiko claims will glow for 5 to 8 hours after 10 minutes exposure to bright light. This is the only feature that I have a problem with. The price was the lowest I saw on the internet with some venders asking up to seventy five dollars more. The watch came discreetly and securely packed in a Fedex box with the original Seiko jewelbox with pillow and a three year warranty card.
