well this seiko showed up early and well packed with out a scratch on it. had all the right paper work with it and the warranty card. thank the shipping it came out all ready ticking. did not have to shake it up or wear it to set it. i really like the watch its simple but classy. goes with a lot of things can be dressed up or down easily. if your a guy that owns only a watch or two at a time this is a great choice works for jeans and still looks dressy enough to wear with a suit if you needed. it keeps very good time for an automatic i have noticed no gain or loss yet in three days. im sure it has gained or lost a second but not enough to ever make a problem. the face is nice and simple and the luminous marks last pretty long for a less expensive piece. i find my self wanting to wear this watch even around the house. good price, and good quality. even the snotty watch folks will admit seiko makes a good watch for the money.
UPDATE: this watch is still working flawlessly and has become one of my favorites to wear. it gets compliments often. i didn't think it would since its not real flashy. the crystal is very tough a few times ive banged it and expected to see scars but none. i love the weight of this watch its hot in texas and a big heavy watch just makes your wrist nasty. id buy this one ten times over. im going to look at the same in watch in other colors.
