I have been reading about the new line of Seiko solar watch for some time, but most of the styles that were offered were rather plain and ordinary.  When I came across this watch, I had to try it out.  After ordering it from Princeton Watches (through Amazon) the watch arrived quickly, and with all tags and paperwork intact.

I particularly like the orange face of the watch as well as the hands.  The luminous markers glow nicely and for quite a while during the night.  The strap is one of the good quality Seiko straps, and should last quite a while.  The bezel rotates smoothly and positively.

Setting the time and date is very easy and intuitive.  Simply unscrew the crown and pull out to the first stop for setting the day and date, pull again to set the time.

Perhaps it is just me, but one thing that I would change on the watch is the chrome plated case.  I think it would look better if it was a satin finish, as I said this is just my opinion.

If you are looking for a good quality casual watch that will never require batteries, look no further.
