For years (decades actually) I always wore a regular Timex digital watch because I liked a digital display plus the ability to use it as an alarm clock and timer. So, in the realm of watches I'm a total amature, so take this review for what it is!

However, they don't look all that professional when my job requires a formal event. Since I always have a watch on, I have a tan line where it is. Simply removing my watch would be more noticeable than leaving it on.

So I went out and settled on this Seiko watch.

For the most part I'm happy with it. There are a couple minor flaws, but overall I think it's a good watch.

My negatives are the titanium clasp is horribly scratched just from being rubbed on my desk at work from my normal daily activities. It's not something you notice though unless you are looking up close at it. Another small point is the hour marks and the hands glow in the dark ... sort of. They don't glow for long, and they need to be exposed to somewhat bright light for them to glow brightly. In the middle of the night, you may have a very hard time telling the time.

The last nit pick is this watch is bilingual. This only matters with the day of the week indicator. Chances are you will not notice though. Basically, around midnight it will change the day indicator twice, once will read the day in spanish, the second will get you back to english. This takes awhile though, so if you are up late you'll notice, but if you are in bed before midnight every day you'll never notice it. The pictures here show it, for example "DOM" is the spanish abbreviation for Sunday.

Otherwise I like the look, it's a nice size, and I really like the dark deep blue of the face. Even gives a satisfying 'tick' sound as the second hand moves.
