“i removed the nylon strap immediately (don't like the extra height they give) and replaced with a nice leather one, way better. Should probably have bought the bracelet version, but i really like watch itself so it's all good. Great service from Longisland, thanks!”
“Another Beautiful watch. The blue dial is dark, and is stunning. Moving it in the light, the blue dial will change color a bit. The Lume is also excellent, most Seiko's are. For you guys with large wrists like mine, the included NATO will fit your wrist well, and the strap is of good quality in my opinion. I have a 7.6 inch wrist, and this extra long strap fits me with ease. I no longer have to use the last segment on a band ! The movement is accurate, and a workhorse. What more would you need. Should last for many years.”
“I really like this watch. To start off, it looks awesome! It’s well made and feels incredible on the wrist. The one I got is super accurate, gaining 1-3 seconds a day! This watch is a real strap monster as well... I’ve already got like 10 straps for it... This is my everyday watch from now on. I like this watch so much that I sold all my other ones, besides my beater watch. I’ve had a great experience with LIW every time I order from them.”
“I got this one b/c I love the solide movement and its more of an every day/casual watch as opposed to the gunmetal Seiko 5 dive-like with the dark green nylon NATO-like strap that is more of a sporty look.
Love them both.
And what can I say about the lume !! Fantastic!”
“This is a beautiful watch. I think the bezel on last year's Sport automatic was unnecessary, since I would not use this as a true diver's watch, given lower tolerances. Without a bezel, it has a more spare, pleasing look to it. It reminds me very much of the Tudor Black Bay 36, which is a gorgeous watch. The updated movement allows for hacking and winding, a definite improvement on the old Seiko 5. Accuracy seems fine out of the box.”
“I purchased a Seiko 5 Sports watch recently. It was delivered in a timely fashion and arrived in pristine condition. However, the accuracy was abysmal. I've owned several automatic watches, so I don't expect quartz precision, but this was 20-30 seconds slow per day. The added cost of getting it regulated didn't make it worth the purchase. I regret spending my money.”
