I orignally saw and fell in love with this watch in Kohls for the retail price of $325. It was being sold for 20% off for $260. Knowing that Kohl's always sends out coupons for an additional 15% off  I decided to wait for my coupon..This would have brought the watch down to $221. My husband found a Seiko Coutura that retailed in Macys for $495 on Amazon for $157. I checked out this SNDY18 Women's watch and purchased it for $151. My husband and I got 2 watches for less than the price of one. It's almost like buy one get one free.
I couldn't believe the price on these watches. You know the old saying, "if it's too good to be true it isn't" so I called Amazon's number for their watch department. I was so surprised to find out there was a special watch department. I was assured that they were a genuine brand new Seiko watches, not used or refurbished. There is a 2 year warranty backed by Amazon. Who do I trust more than Amazon? No one!
The watch is really what I call subtle bling. The Swarovski crystals aren't gawdy but glow delicately. I have to say the rose gold shows up rosier on Amazon's picture. It looks more like yellow gold to me but that makes no difference and doesn't take away from the true beauty of this watch. The mother of pearl face is maginficent and the nicest I have seen. It glows with a myriad of irridescent colors. The gold hands and bars sparkle against this background. I have a medium wrist and only needed one link removed. I have a small collection of watches including Michael Kors and Michele but this has become my go to watch for everyday.  I like it because it is so light weight and comfortable. You don't feel it on your wrist at all. It certainly can also be worn with any elegant attire.. Seiko is famous for it's quality. My husband's old Seiko still going strong after 35 years.
Amazon's watch department is a well kept secret to the average consumer waiting for a paltry 20% off sale in their favorite department store. I'll window shop in Macys any day and then go home and place my order with Amazon.
