This is my second Seiko 5 Automatic, the first is an all stainless 24 movement that is bullet proof. If you know what you are doing or take it somewhere it can be polished up and look like new every few years. I like that is a living thing that needs you as much as you need it. It is EMP proof which means when everyone elses watch is dead yours is still working. Being an automatic the accuracy will vary +/- a few seconds a day, for me not a big deal as people with so-called accurate watches, pda's, smart phones, iPads etc. are always/usually later than me...?  This model does not disappoint, Amazon had a good base price but it does fluxuate, a few weeks ago before Christmas it was going for around $80, today about $68. I searched the web and luckily found the one I wanted being blown out much cheaper, but today they are out of stock. Less than $70 is IMO a good deal. It is light and despite what some say the nylon band is very nice/adjustable.  I usually don't like bands other than SS links BUT this one has won me over, many hole options make it super adjustable.  For the money a way beter value than any Timex or Casio, a watch that should last a lifetime!
