As I said in the title, this is a real nice watch.  But you should know a few things that I had to learn the hard way.  First, it will not work straight out of the box.  You first have to charge the internal battery by exposing it to a strong light source, ideally sunlight.  The Seiko manual is way off on how long this takes.  One Jeweler told me it would take "days", so I placed it in a south-facing window for a few days and its working fine.  The other thing that you should know is that while it has an expandable band, it also has a metal clasp.  This clasp is about an inch long, and I suspect its purpose is to let you adjust the tightness.  Good idea, but bad execution, as it addresses only the issue of tightening it up--not loosening it up.  What I found was that the clasp hits one of the bones in my wrist in exactly the wrong spot.  I also have pretty large wrists, so being able to tighten it up is a useless option to me.

Now here is the good news.  Seiko will send you up to five links for free.  So if you want to keep the clasp and expand the size you can do it--although you need a jeweler to help you.  (it cost me $10)  But, if you want to get rid of the clasp entirely, that takes eight links, plus however many more you need to make it comfortable.  And at $5 per additional link it can add up.  What I ended up doing was rather than buying individual links, it proved to be less expensive to just buy a duplicate band from Seiko, and use the links I needed.

All things considered, though, I really like this watch, and am looking forward to many years of service.
