“Purchased a month ago
Still satisfies all my expectations.
Classic beautiful starburst blue face.
Lume is very visible, glows all night and it is easy to distinguish hour, minute and second hand
Gains approx 15 sec / day I gather this is in the normal range.
Band is functional standard folded links hollow ends and a bit jingly”
“The SRPE53 is a huge value. I continue to wear this regularly, and enjoy it every time I do, even though it's competing with much more conventionally high-end watches for attention. This watch has a rightness to it, and an elegance beyond its price class. I believe it could make an excellent only watch for a one-watch person.
The bracelet is fine, and it always makes sense to buy a watch which has a matching bracelet on that bracelet so you have it, but I particularly enjoy this on a strap.
The service from Island was, as usual, so quietly reliable that it didn't call attention to itself. A vendor I'm always comfortable trusting.”
“Super happy with the watch, service, and fast shipping! Would happily buy from LI Watch again and looking forward to some bracelet options for this watch!”
“These watches are so new, and so popular that finding one- let alone at a decent price, is difficult at best. Not only did Island Watch have the blue version I wanted, but they shipped it almost immediately. I got it in 3 days.These new Seiko 5's really live up to the hype.
Many thanks Marc!”
“overseas purchase (australia). Service was great. Only suggestion I have is make shipping options available so I can select a more secure (signature required) delivery option.”
