4 stars because it's getting very hard to position the stem so as to set the watch.
BUT -- I can't remember how long I've had it, but it's been at least 4 years -- long enough to have needed 2 new batteries.
BUT -- I never take it off except to shower. I mean NEVER -- I sleep with it on. It's actually pretty dirty in the spots that are hard to clean, and maybe that's the problem.
I've always liked Seiko quartz watches, and this one is my favorite by far. The watch is lightweight, easy to see, accurate. I also like its looks. I do not like wearing any gold or gold-tone; this watch is "silver" in appearance and I really like the black dial because the hands and markers really stand out.
I'm going to take it to a jeweler and see if they can clean and refurbish it -- at a reasonable price. If not, I'm going to buy the same watch again.
