“Very Surprised how much Nicer Looking it is compared to it's photos. Also it's strap is amazingly soft and makes wearing this watch (140grams) so unnoticeable compared to other lighter watches. The Lume is Bright and hold it's light longer then most (though Tissot, Citizen, and a few others give it fair competition).
It's a large watch so don't see me using it much until Spring roles around. Like all Silicone straps it does make it really good for cool weather or you guessed it - Diving! - but it's to hot for summer.
My only complaint is it uses Mineral instead of Sapphire. Maybe Sapphire cracks at 200M but my best Dives have all been above 40m so I would have liked a Sapphire to last longer without scratches. I have a Movado Chrono-Diver Kingmatic (200M) that is 30yrs old, used daily and it still has no scratches.”
“I wanted a chronograph and generally like Seiko’s watch designs. This one definitely holds my eye. The finish on the watch looks great and it feels solid. The bezel clicks nicely and doesn’t have alignment issues and the pushers & crown are pleasant to work with. The screw-down rings for the pushers feel a little loose when they’re not screwed down, but it doesn’t jingle when I move around so I’m not worried about it. Love that it still is dive-rated (screw down your pushers first!) Hard to beat that Seiko lume, too - when I found that the lume is different colors, I was ecstatic (I’m a dork). The sweep of the chrono hands when they’re reset also makes me grin. The Seiko strap the watch ships with is actually nice. The material feels soft and the hardware matches the watch’s finish nicely. That said, I’ve already put a navy NATO strap on and it still looks excellent.”
“Beautiful piece. Not too big not too small. The blue dial is gorgeous and is easy to operate. I have gotten a lot of great compliments from friends on this great looking timepiece. Great service and fast shipping from Long Island watch. Will definitely purchase from them again!”
