“This watch is an unusually good value. Attractive and sporty without being too large. I gave the watch as a present to a sailing friend and the blue face is a nice nautical touch.”
“The watch is great for it's price. Automatic movement, clear display and the dial colour and features are so cool. The good/bad part of the watch is the crown size and positioning. I like that it's off-center at 4 o'clock and small so that it doesn't look chunky, but it makes it tricky to set date/time. And at 37mm, this watch isn't really suitable for people with larger wrists.
So if you're looking for an entry-level Seiko watch that looks good, won't break the bank, and if your wrist isn't big, then I'd definitely recommend this.”
“Simple, rugged, dependable. Good looking. The only minus is the scratchy band; but are not we not tough?
As usual, a fair price and great customer service from #LIWatch!”
“Fantastic value sub-$100.
Positives: 1. Small (37mm) but remarkably easy-to-read. No need for my reading glasses. Very well-designed face and hands; 2. 'fire up' the lume with a bright light and it glows clearly all night long; 3. It loses about 15 seconds a day but I have not tried to regulate it at all. 15 seconds a day in a sub-$100 automatic is perfectly okay, in my view.
Small negatives: 1. the canvas strap is nice but frays as soon as you look at it. I replaced it with a navy and white nato from Crown & Buckle; 2. the dial is not blue enough. In many light conditions it 'reads' more like black; 3. No hacking or hand-winding. (I don't need hacking and no hand-winding is quite acceptable in this price-range.); 4. Very attractive bead-blasted case finish but not on the lower side between the lugs, oddly enough.
Overall, if you want a mechanical (i.e., non-quartz) watch, then this is the place to start. Great little watch!”
