I have had a Seiko Kinetic in the past and was excited to get this watch as it was an affordable automatic with a glass back, a little perk I really like. I got it in and was impressed with the quality. The wrist strap took a few days to break in and become comfortable for me. The crystal seems to be rather scratch resistant versus others that I have had. I really liked the movement of the second hand, it doesn't tick every second and instead has a sweep like an analog stop watch. Then comes the reason to have a watch: Timekeeping. This is were the watch really was a let down. I have had it a few weeks and I noticed about a week or two ago that it had gained a few minutes since it was last set. So I reset it with the national atomic clock about a week ago and checked it today. It had gained about 2 minutes in a week or so. This was pretty upsetting for me. If I had it to do again I would do a little more research and pay a little more for a more accurate watch.
