Watch arrived 1 day ahead of delivery day.
It is just what I was looking for. It would look nice dressed up or dressed down,( I am a jeans+polo shirt type of guy).
Watch came with some charge in it. I put it right up to a window for about 8 hours yesterday and am wearing it today. I wanted a watch that was easy to read,(bi-focals), and it does that very well. The hands and markers were still glowing brightly at 5:00 am. I took 3 links out of the band and it fits just a tiny bit snug. If the clasp had 1 more adjustment it would be perfect.
I got a $140.00 Timex perpetual cal. a couple years ago and while nice looking, it a bit too flashy for me. It is very big and heavy. The second hand doesn't line up with the markers. The lumenecense sucks, my $40.00 Casio solar is better. The second hand on the Seiko lines up perfect with the markers.
The crystal does sit just above the bezel, so I will have to be careful not to hit it against doorways,(I am bad for that).
"Classy" is how I would describe this Seiko. It looks very nice, but plain at the same time. No "bling" whatsoever.
