I bought this&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Seiko-Women-s-SUP052-Two-Tone-Stainless-Steel-Analog-with-White-Dial-Watch/dp/B005EQWA1M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Seiko Women's SUP052 Two Tone Stainless Steel Analog with White Dial Watch</a>&nbsp;for my wife for her birthday (which has not yet arrived). She had seen it in a major department store's advertisement and had shown it to me. But she had no idea that I would actually buy it for her.

Of course, prior to purchasing it, I checked here on Amazon. (I ALWAYS do that before I buy ANYTHING!) I'm glad I did. Not only does Amazon offer this watch for MUCH less than that department store's 'sale' price, Amazon is now offering the watch themselves with free shipping (when I bought mine, receiving it on December 15, 2011, Amazon was selling it only through a 'partner' which nonetheless offered excellent service and an excellent price).

As my wife does not yet know that I have bought the watch, I have kept it hidden from her. Since it is a solar watch, each day I put it on a windowsill (well out of her sight) so that I can keep the battery fully charged until I give it to her.

I have had it for three weeks now - and it keeps perfect time. It has not gained or lost even one minute (there is no second hand). Seiko has always had a good reputation for reliability and this one certainly lives up to that reputation.

I can highly recommend this wristwatch to any woman who likes its styling (and to any man who wants to surprise a woman in his life).

Thank you for reading this and for considering my opinion.

Update: February 1, 2012

I gave the watch to my wife on her birthday. I had hidden it in our kitchen (in a place where she would never find it) and, the night before, I put out a birthday card for her. She always goes down to the kitchen before I do, and she saw the card, but no present. When I came down and wished her a Happy Birthday, she grumpily said, "Well I guess that's what I would expect from you - no present."

I had kept the original major department store advertisement and just then I "accidentally" found it.

I said to her, "Now why did I keep this?," showing her the advertisement which had several watches featured.

She replied, "Because I liked one of the watches."

"Which one?," I asked.

"I don't remember," she replied.

I then asked, "Could it be THIS one?" as I pulled out the watch from its hiding place and opened its box.

I won't tell you what happened next - but I WILL tell you that she was both VERY surprised and VERY pleased.

By the way, the watch has STILL not gained nor lost even one minute!
