If you are looking to buy a watch that is very functional then this is the watch for you. It is called "Railroad Approved" and this Pulsar watch fits that category perfectly. It has one of the finest watch bands you can own. Its a "Speidel Twist-o-flex". It is very light and feels like it is part of your wrist. It has very readable Hands and the luminous back lighted face is excellent. I am sure anyone needing a functional watch with the workings of a Seiko will be impressed. Its is no doubt one of the best watch values you can buy.
