This watch was exactly what I was looking for. I've had Seiko watches for years, and went with another brand in the last couple of years. But when that brand didn't hold up, I'm back to Seiko. This watch in particular is the perfect balance between feminine, dressy and casual.  The mother-of-pearl and diamond face are subtle yet very attractive.  The second hand and date features are nice. The hour and minute hands do glow in the dark, but not for very long; still a nice feature.  Great watch, so glad I bought it!
