I am very pleased with my Seiko is it the second that I have owned, the first being a kinetic titanum  served me for 21 years. The watch itself is made in Japan and appears to be a quality piece, the band is made in China and although attractive does not appear to be of the same quality, time will tell. I am rating both as 5 stars as for the price an unbeatable deal. My watch dial although only 6 months old illuminates at night contrary to another review I read.
