“I’m loving my new Sne597! I’m so glad that they are available now! I’d been considering importing one of these for some time now. I really wanted a grab and go quartz Seiko as an alternative to my 40 year old 7c43 7010 quartz diver. The new Solar fits the bill well. Beautifully nondescript and simple dial text. It’s the perfect size for my 7.25” wrist. I don’t mind the hollow end links, and the bracelet is ok, but Seiko’s dive clasp… it’s time for an upgrade, Seiko. None of this was unexpected. I got exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. Oh, it is currently running +/-0 seconds per day.”
“The watch is a great seiko diver. As with most seiko's the band is functional, but not great. Probably the one thing that makes this watch loose a star is the crown. It just feels cheap and slushy. This is a gift for my son. His first steel watch. He'll love it and a sekio solar will last him a long, long time.”
