Dependable Seiko quality, good appearance, and good price. However, since the purchase, I've received HUNDREDS of spam e-mails for watches and jewelry.

The Seiko Watch I ordered from Amazon.com was a gift for my husband. It just fit and was exactly as it looked in the picture. He loves it and tells me Seiko is the best watch you can buy. Thanks, amazon.

This not "exactly" like my Seiko but it is almost the same thing. My day/date is in two seperate windows and the gold/silver is reversed on the band.
I've bought some nice watches over the years but I must say that this has been the nicest I've ever owned.
Mine was given to me as a gift by my son years ago.
It was only worn as a dress watch for the first year but when my work watch went out I started wearing it at all times. This meant I had to be careful but as we all know, eventually it gets a bang here and another there and pretty quickly it's not very "dressy". This watch has been unbelievably tough! I've lost count of the times that I thought I had damaged it and discovered it was just fine.
I have a lot of trouble with bands either pinching, being uncomfortable or in the case of leather just plain wearing out very fast. This band is very comfortable and like the watch itself still shows very little wear.
I look at this watch weekly and tell myself I am going to find another one like it for dress wear ONLY. Well, here it is on sale and guess what, I don't need it! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this one! It still looks great. It still keeps perfect time. Nothing has faded. I just can't find a reason to complain. If it continues to wear this good it may be another 4 or 5 years before I have to relace it.
I thought I would share this because I know how hard it is to make decisions about these things online when you can't actually hold it in your hand and I thought it might help others in making their buying decision.
I love this watch in every way! Not too big. Not too small. Very comfortable and keeps its good looks. Like I said, my band is silver with gold center and I guess the silver is stainless. The gold shows very little wear being in the middle. It might be different if it were on the outside like this one.
A nice quality timepiece that most any man would really enjoy. I know I do!

This watch is very much like the Rolex in appearance which gives it a rich look. It has a day/date window and is easy to set. The quartz movement makes it an excellent timekeeper. My only negative comment is the hands are not easily seen because they are the same color as the background dial. I've owned another Seiko watch for 25 years that was trouble free and expect this new watch to be the same. Seiko makes a great product.
