I LIKE Seiko watches. I've worn them for amost 35 years. In its ad, this watch looked almost too good to be true, and it was when I got, tried to set it, and wear it that I found out how bad it is. The owner's manual reads like it already assumes you know how to do every thing. Adjusting the bracelet to fit was a 3-hour struggle and there were NO directions on how to do it in the owner's manual. I had bring it to a jeweler. Next, setting the watch's day, date and time was a MAJOR pain. This watch has both English and Spanish day-name settings and getting the English day to stay with the date caused me to waste about 2 hours. The manual also stated something I found NOT to be true: that being when you snap in the stem, the secdond hand is supposed to go to the 0 second mark (i.e., 12). It does NOT! My jeweler, who sells Seiko watches, also could not get the second hand to snap up to zero seconds. What good is a "quartz chronometer" which will not allow you to set its second hand? In its Amazon ad, this watch is heavily discounted from its MSRP and I now know why. Based on my experiences with it, I have to say that this watch is a piece of junk.
