I was inclined to suspect this was a less than entirely legitimate Seiko (knock off) but it was retailed by Amazon directly. The body of the watch aged very aggressively with the black coating on the metal wearing off consistently around the full extent of the strap. The face is easy to scratch and water damage is consequently easy to achieve, which I believe resulted in a couple complete stoppages within several weeks of getting the watch. With time it has revived itself which is somewhat endearing. I just managed to pull off the only twiddleable dial on the entire device, so my time is an hour out and will get increasingly iffy until I perish
