From an appearance standpoint, this is a nice watch. The band is both dressy and stylish, but practical. The shade of blue on the dial is very nice and the gold tone hands and hour markings complement the blue perfectly.
From a working perspective, it is O.K. However, if you don't wear it 10+ hours every day, it will stop. Also, it appears to be running fast. I can't seem to set it to the exact time. With the previous Seiko I had, when you pulled out the crown to set the time, the second hand would stop until you pushed it back in, this one continues to run.
