This lightweight (2.5 oz.) Seiko is a great value. The fit and finish are first rate. The instruction book is spartan but when followed closly all the watch adjustments can be made smothly. When the watch arrived all the hands needed aliginment, not a big deal if you follow the instructions.
I had the watch hands aligned and the time set in less than ten minuets.
That was about a month ago and the watch is keeping perfect time. My only resevation would be the soft tone of the alarm. It needs to be a bit louder. I notice the watch has gone up in price since I purchased mine at $105USD. Even at the higher price it is still agood value.

I have had this watch for sometime now and I am very happy customer. It is accurate, light and in my opinion a beautiful watch. It radiates class.

I highly recommend this watch to anyone.

I have had this watch for a week now and like it. It is attractive, easy to read and, as others have noted, it is light. The manual is not well written so it took some time to figure everything out. The alarm is very high pitched and most of the time I cannot hear it even when it is on my wrist. I am in my 50s and probably have some hearing loss but I am no where near needing a hearing aid. The alarm is my only complaint. Everything else has met or exceeded my expectations. And the price is very good for what you get.

FOLLOW-UP: Several days after receiving the watch and writing the review, it stopped running! I've had a Seiko watch that ran flawlessly for 10 years so I didn't expect this. I had to send it to the service department (at my expense) and weight three weeks. While the watch, when it is working, is great, I was disappointed with the defect and have lowered my rating as a result.

They advertised 25 dollar discount for the watch if I buy by Nov 13. I bought this on Nov 9. Yet I did not receive discount from Chase card. I called Chase bank to ask for discount. They reported that this purchase reported after 13th. So, I will not get discount. So it is messy system maintenance at Amazon.
On watch, this watch is a good watch but lot of technical details such as how to set time for DST.

I have owned the Seiko for about a year now. It is a very nice watch. The titanium is light and sturdy. The watch works great. It looks good. I only have a few minor suggestions to improve it - the stopwatch button seems to get pressed easily without my knowing and the second clock time and alarm setting functions are difficult to remember without the owner's manual. Overall, a great watch that I highly recommend.

Very cotemperary and stylish. My 13 y.o. sone loves this birthday present.

My boyfriend is thrilled with this watch. It keeps a second time for another time zone on the alarm. It looks great and is lightweight.

I enjoy this watch a lot. Not only because its soo light but because it's so comfortable.

The bracelet is solid link and pins are little screw pins..like the higher end bracelets

Only issue is...the picture on amazon...is wierd one. while it does show the watch, it does not really portray it well. the watch is a lot better looking :)

only problem for me was, the watch is too small for my wrist. 40mm is plenty for most

4/5 stars:)

I have had the watch for a few months and like it very much. The watch is accurate and sturdy. It does have a few negatives, like being a bit too bulky, having to change the date of the month almost every month and difficulty with setting it to second.

This is only my third wristwatch in the last 25 years- all three have been Seiko's. This one is attractive, lightweight and very affordable. I expect to have it for at least 10 years.

I purchased this watch because it had the luminous hour markers and hands. I needed it in order to be able to see what time it is in the dark.
The watch was defective. This watch was NOT manufactured in Japan by Seiko. There were a few quality issues regarding this particular watch model. The defective part of the watch was when setting the time on the watch. When I set the time to the exact minute, the minute hand had some freplay in it and it moved out of alignment with the minute marker on the dial every time I pressed in the crown to set the correct minutes. The minute hand was unable to align accurately with the minute marker on the dial every time that you pressed in the crown to set the exact minute. The minute hand had some "freeplay" to it and it moved off of its mark every time I tried to set the minutes. Also, the seconds hand was "off". The seconds hand didn't align well with the seconds markers on the dial of the watch.
This particular watch would not have any of these quality issues if it were manufactured 100% in Japan. Seiko has done a great dis-service to its customers by moving it manufacturing plants to Signapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. Seiko watches which are NOT manufactured 100% in Japan are nothing but JUNK!

Very nice design, and good features for the money. (I paid approximately $110)

Plus notes are as follows,
- Light and feels nice to wear, Matte titanium case with a polished accent on the bracelet
- Locking clasp and bracelet are well designed and look like they will hold up for years to come.
- Chronograph is easy to use and read
- Waterproof feature works well too.
- Keeps accurate time

Minor negatives are as follows,
- Alarm is rather soft. Wish it was slightly louder.
- Alarm is difficult to set properly. Took me a bit of time and practice to figure out how to set it correctly. The manual was not much help with that.
- The crystal has a slight dome to it, and it is raised above the outer bezel, so you have to be careful not to bang the watch against anything while wearing it. I've been wearing mine for about 2 months, and it has a small (almost imperceptable) scratch on the face. The design would be nicer if the crystal was flat and the bezel was raised to protect it a little.

All in all, I'm happy with it and would highly recommend to others.

After reading all the rave reviews I purchased this watch as a gift for my husband, only to have him open it, and be unable to even set the time as the dial button was jammed and would not move even with pliars. We had to send it back for a replacement and we are awaiting the arrival of that. I will update my review after we have its replacement and see how it does, if we can ever set the time.

I'ts excellent, really very nice, perfect style, very very light weight, the cronograph works excellent. The problem with the alarm it's true but honestly i don't care a little... it's a very nice watch if a want to wake up i use my cellphone or something else. and the price i bought it (105$) it's the best part of all. It's to much watch quality for that price really. Dont' thing twice.. buy it

Great watch, excellent glass. Arrived really quickly to the UK(2-3days), Just keep it away from strong magnets

I bought this titanium watch for myself and then turned around and changed the order from 1 to 3 so I could give one to both my son and son in law. All 3 of us love them. The shipment arrived on the 3rd day after ordering and of couuse, the price was RIGHT. It was a much better experience than ebay ever is. I would recommend the watch and Amazon and rate them as 5 star.

This is a great quality watch, very light. Crystal is very clear. Chronograph is amazing, very smooth, though I usualy don't use it. The band looks and feels great too.
It's only problem (and serious one for me) was that the second hand isn't aligned perfectly to the dial. Therefore I sold these watches on eBay (and even made a few bucks). I liked even more Invicta 8926 which I bought as a present and got Invicta 9937 for myself (they look the same but have swiss movement).
Generally I recommend this watch.

My Seiko had the sweep hand start on the 2 second mark after 5 months of use. It was sent to Seiko for repair and when I finally got it back the hand started on the #9 position. Lousy repair service.
It is also a heavy watch.
While it was being repaired, I bought a Timex for $34.99. It keeps perfect time and it is alot lighter. I wear my timex now.

Not much frill but has date, 200m water resistant, and best of all very light! Perfect size for my wrist since I have small bones. Very comfortable. Thinking of buying another one as gift.

As everyone else noted in their reviews, the Titanium body and band make this a very light weight watch for its size. The 40mm case is a good size for smaller wrists, although I had to remove three links from the band.

The chronograph feature works well and can do splits, but it means that the large second hand does not tell time. There is a separate, tiny subdial that shows a 1 Hz second hand. I wish the main dial would also serve as a 5 Hz second hand in other than chronograph mode. For the reviewers complaining about the dial alignment -- it is adjustable in the time-setting mode. The manual explains it poorly, but you can adjust the offset of the minute and second hands.

The alarm is much too quite to wake me and requires daily setting; instead I use the alarm subdial as a second timezone to display GMT.

The watch is great, the alarm is a bit soft, but as said above the value is great etc...

I did NOT like the titanium band. Its NOT solid links, rather a solid link, bound by 2 bands of titanium to the next one.

Incredibly, I was able to use an old band I had from a St. Moritz titanium watch i had. It fit in exactly! and looks the same, just its all solid.

For about $100, this is an excellent watch. The band and case are well made, even compared to $300-400 watches. The face and (very slightly) curved crystal are handsome and not too dressy. However, the "Hardlex" crystal material is not exceptionally hard. It's too bad Seiko (apparently) doesn't offer titanium watches with sapphire faces. "Sapphire" (mineral name: corundum, chemical formula: Al2O3) has a hardness of 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, where diamond is 10. My watch crystal picked up scratches on the first day of wearing it. The hardest common material that could have done the scratching is quartz, with a hardness of 7, making me suspect the "Hardlex" is just some type of doped quartz. However, after almost 2 weeks of wear the face has only one scratch, and I'm rough on my watch, always hitting it against things and putting it in my pocket with keys and change.

The watch is not particularly lightweight if you're used to plastic- or leather-banded timepieces. I tried a few other Ti Seikos at department stores and they were much lighter and thinner. Several times a day I notice the second hand has stopped because the second timer button hits something (my wrist?). However, a few positive surprises: the main second hand moves several times per second, giving it the look of near-continuous movement. The glow-in-the-dark hands seem quite bright. Sometimes I notice the glow, even just in a dim room.

Highly recommended for a $100 watch that can pass off as a $300 watch. If you can't handle scratches, go for a heavier (and pricier) sapphire crystal watch.

Product review - I got my Seiko Titanium a week back from Amazon, I love this watch, I will just add to what others have said already - it's a lightweight and well crafted timepiece. Any brick watch store will charge you over $200 on this watch, so price ($105) is the other plus on this watch. The watch manual could have been little better but not an issue, it's simple to use.

Shopping experience - I like shopping on Amazon.com, particularly their recommendations on the customer taste based on one'e browsing history, i.e. customers who saw this item bought this...

Initially I started out and wanted to buy a Swiss watch - they are so well designed and they stand out, but while browsing around found Seiko watches equally attractive, better priced overall Japanese watches like cars offer better value.

If you like chrono watches - you should check out Casio Edifice and Duros - they are even cheaper and very sleek looking watches. I also notice the Seiko's and Casio's Asian/European watch collections are better than American collection - So check out Ebay as well before buying it on Amazon.com

Shipping was FAST! I received the watch a little over 24 hours after I ordered it!

The titanium watch is extremely light, easy to read, very good looking, and has all the features of my other Seiko watch which was much more expensive!

The alarm is adequate for an analog watch alarm and the volume is just perfect.

A great value. Amazon really delivered! Thanks!

Great watch functionally and hypoallergenic. My only objection is that it's not a good fit.

I just got the watch today from amazon & I'm just amazed. The build quality of the watch is great along with the nice touch of titanium finish on the watch. This piece does not have the shine some other watches have, which is how I like my watches. Since its titanium, the weight of the timepiece is extremely light compared to that of stainless steel. Very easy to read dial, including in complete darkness !! Very satisfied with the purchase. A good buy.
Kudos to amazon for selling such authentic watches with full warranty under competetive prices.

I just received my watch today and I have to say, it's an unbelievable deal. The quality of this timepiece is amazing. I've never owned a titanium watch so I just wanted to emphasize how much lighter it is on my hand compared to stainless-steel. I've noticed negative comments regarding the alarm on the watch. True, it can only be set 12 hours ahead and the sound is not that loud. However, I must emphasize that the alarm can also be used as a countdown timer or secondary time zone keeper. If you really need a loud alarm that you don't have to reset daily, go to your local store and buy a real alarm clock. If you are like me and need something every now and then when you travel, than this simple alarm is more than adequate. To sum it all up, the precision and quality are amazing and the timepiece is beautiful to look at. You now you're getting quality and reliability when it comes to Seiko.

Excellent chronograph (very nice looking and very light) and excellent price, even if the alarm is not designed for daily use. My problem was that the watch, sold by WatchZone, was deliverd with the case scratched and without warranty booklet, but I can't return it because of the too expensive fees as per WatchZone return policy (1/3 the watch price, from europe). I hope that Amazon will check better the policies of its "marketplace seller" for better costumer satisfaction! how can I be satisfied of a new watch scratched that i can't return? people, please, read carefully before buying!

Great watch for the price, if you don't care much about the alarm. My old Seiko watch is over 30yrs old and it still works great. I needed one that is dependable looks and feel great and Seiko is the one for me.

Purchased this watch due to the features (light weight, durability, 200m water resistance, alarm, and chronograph). When I opened the box, I was stunned at the build quality and precision operation. All hands align exactly with the markers and every detail is sharp. Understated class is the way I describe the appearance of the watch. As stated in other reviews, the only negative I have found is the need to set the alarm within 12 hours each time you need to use it. Otherwise...great watch!

As a watch hound, I fell in love with this watch at first sight. The matte finish of the titanium case and band combined with the white on black dial made for a very appealing package. When I put it on, the deal was sealed. The light weight and smooth finish of the band said - you can wear this all day in comfort. Titanium is a miracle metal - it doesn't rust, it's tough, it's hypo-allergenic, it's amazingly light and it looks cool.

The watch keeps very good time. The chronograph feature is simple to use - by that I mean, it's intuitive so no manual is required. The alarm function is another matter. Crack the book or you're going to be frustrated. Like some of their other alarm watches, the value of this feature is limited. If you get up every day at 6:00 AM, you have to set the alarm every day. Silly idea.

Overall, this is a bargain for what seems to be a beautiful, well made watch from one of the best names in the business.
