I bought this watch for my wife because she has been saying for a long time that she wants it, she loves the gold tone dial. She has a twenty year old Seiko, same model but with a black dial and it has never failed her. She also has a thirty year old Seiko, stainless steel case with a turquoise dial and that watch still runs and keeps perfect time. I guess the point is, Seiko makes some outstanding watches and in my opinion Seiko watches are the most dependable and durable watches in the world.
Say what you want about your fancy and pricey Swiss watches which I have by the way but my wife and I both love Seiko's. We would definitely recommend Seiko to anyone.
