Owned this watch since 2006.
This is my Amoured TANK! I use it on road trips where there is a possibility of it being banged around a lot.

I leave my $2000 TAG HEUER watch at home and I use this Seiko watch to the beach, swimming pools, SCUBA diving so far to 90 feet (along with my Dive Computer) and hiking trails and even when doing an oil changes on my car. I have banged it on to rocks on land and coral underwater with minimal to no evidence of damage!!!

It may run fast but at this day and age one depends on the Dive Computer rather than the olden days using the bezel on this watch and Dive table to calculate dive time. So up-to-the-second accuracy is not paramount.

This is a heavy watch so if your wrists aren't used to heavy items then do not get this watch.. .

Otherwise *machomen* will not have any regrets wearing this watch... 8-)
