This watch was a gift for my husband. I've always loved Seiko. I find their time pieces to be accurate, durable and nice looking.  My husband loves this watch. The watch arrived in good condition. It didn't need any charging. I set the time and day and put it in the box and when my husband opened it on Christmas day the time was spot on. My husband had to remove a couple of links in the band which he did with the  Paylak TSLK3 watch band pin remover and link remover that I also purchased adn that was it.  My husband works outdoors and on machines and this watch appears to stand up where other's haven't so far.  I thought the price was very reasonable too. Definitely very happy with the purchase.
