After reading the reviews on this watch and thanks to some engaged people who left pictures of the watch on their wrist, I decided to purchase this watch. The descriptions are accurate and so far the time is staying accurate. My only issue is that in order to check the month, date and year you need to pull out the middle button one click and then press the top button several times to toggle A little cumbersome but not a big deal. There may be an easier way to do this but it's my first chrono. watch and I followed the instructions. I need to have my glasses on in order to read some of the info on the watch face, but that's not Seiko's fault. I am very pleased with the band and the overall appearance of the watch.
