I am not a high dollar watch guy, but I do like a durable watch that will keep good time. My taste in watches is pretty broad, but not overly expensive. I have a Casio Pathfinder Fishing watch. For dressy occasions I have a titanium Skagen Ultra Slim from Denmark, and a Swiss made Raymond Weil. Heck I have a Mickey Mouse watch I love. I have used other Casio watches for daily use and worn them out, and have been getting tired of replacing batteries on watches lately. I really wanted a vintage looking watch for everyday use that was visually reminiscent of the WWII pilots watches. I had bought one at an auction site that turned out badly and I gave it away. I kept looking and after reading about this Seiko, I thought I would give it a try. The fact that an automatic watch was available at this low price, from a company like Seiko is amazing. I have been very pleased since it arrived last month, and have in fact worn it daily. It is very accurate, and I have not had to reset it once. The green color dial and matte finish housing (vintage military appearance) works for me. The band looks fine and is comfortable. I enjoy watching the large sweeping second hand with the red tip. The dial markings and numerals are so clean and perfect looking, I still wonder how they do it. This is my first automatic self winding watch, and I have been very pleased with it. Unlike some buyers, I can't feel the movement on mine when I am wearing it, until I take it off. I do look at the movement through the rear glass sometimes.  I have skipped a day wearing it without it running down. The watch size and weight is good for me,  and don't like a watch that is too big to fit under my sleeve. The watch has a quality feel and heft to it, and looks like an expensive watch, to me anyway. I only wish it were waterproof, but you can't have it all.
