I have pretty small wrists so I wanted a watch that looked amazing and fit well. I don't think it's too heavy or feel like I'm lugging something around, it's just there.

On Amazon, I think the price is pretty good and worth it. I was looking at watches in Sydney and this particular watch was over $800 dollars.

I've had the watch a few months, no noticeable scratches yet. I've had it about as long as my friend has had his knock off of some type. His face is extremely scratched up, mine doesn't have a mark anywhere on it. I think the face is going to last, which is something I was hoping for.

If you like the picture provided, you'll love the real thing more, it really does look better than in the picture.

I get so many compliments on this watch, nearly every time I wear it I get a comment on it; not something I am use to. The face still doesn't have a scratch on it, shortly after I got it, my hand slipped off a door handle, I went for the door handle again and cringed as soon as I heard the watch collide with the door, but sure enough the face was perfectly fine. It has some fine scratches on the clasp and such, but overall it's still in great shape.

I still love this watch, but unfortunately the black on the band is starting to wear off and showing silver underneath. I started wearing it to work regularly and it's wearing off pretty quickly. I'd usually only wear it a few times a month over the course of the last few years, but the added wear is...well, adding a lot of cosmetic wear! I'm currently looking for a replacement band from Seiko, but currently the price on Amazon is half what I paid at $280, very good price point at $140 now! We'll see if I hear back from Seiko, other than that the face is in perfect condition and is functioning well!

Still not a scratch on the face of this watch, looks as new as the day I bought it. Not real impressed with the band as I've said previously, but it's holding up well functionally. I might just have to keep buying Seikos from here on out because I'm so impressed with it otherwise. I wish I knew how to get another band for it.
