I like the Seiko Chronograph Quartz movement SSB model watches.  Apart from a simple battery change every three years, they are basically maintenance free.

This Seiko Chronograph is a decent mid-sized model with a case diameter of 40mm.  However, this watch looks bigger since the crystal encompasses the Tachymeter around the outer rim of the dial.  The case is 11mm thick so this Seiko Chronograph is just the right size to look like a piece of sophisticated jewelry on your wrist.

PROS:
Attractive dark brown face with thin stainless steel hands and dials.

The Tachymeter around the outer rim, the 3 sub dial and the stopwatch hand all give the dial a 'busy' look ... but pleasantly so!

Watch crystal is Seiko's scratch resistant Hardlex crystal so, this chronograph should be none the worse for wear.

The dark brown dial looks almost blackish in darker settings.  However, in brightly lit areas, the dial looks a lighter brown and the metallic finish is eye catching.

Date display is between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions - set away from the usual 3 o'clock position it adds character to the watch.

Water resistant at 100 meters (330 feet) - although this is not my swim watch, it's nice to know that I have that option :)

Quartz movement Seiko Chronograph - so accurate I hardly ever have to reset the time.

The bracelet is quality stainless steel and complements this watch.

CONS:
The watch bracelet is much lighter than those found on the heavier Seiko automatic watches.  My only concern is that the bracelet lacks a fold over clasp (it closes with a double push button).

The crown is simply pulled out to open and pushed  in to close.  I would have preferred a screw down for added safety underwater.  I guess I am harping ... Am I going to ever swim with this watch? No! ... So, the snap close crown is fine.

It's easy to mix up the stopwatch and minute hands - the stopwatch hand is just slightly thinner and longer than the minute hand.
HINT: The stopwatch hand rests at the 12 o'clock position so ignore this hand when you're reading the time - it's actually quite easy to get used to!

The stainless steel hands against the dark brown face is a bit of a challenge in poor lighting as the dial and hands are not luminous.  So, when it's dark I think of my Seiko Chronograph as jewelry and simply reach for my mobile to tell the time :)

A NOTE ABOUT THE STAINLESS STEEL BRACELET:
This bracelet uses L-shaped pins to secure the adjustment links.  So, sizing the bracelet is a simple DIY if you need to remove links.  (Just remember to remove equal amounts of links on each side so that the bracelet clasp remains centered on your wrist)
There is an excellent YouTube video on removing L-shaped pins.  The video is titled 'How to adjust a metal band by removing extra links with L-shaped pins'

This Seiko Chronograph Quartz is an attractive casual watch.  It's virtually maintenance free except for a simple battery change every 3 years and, of course, setting the date 5 times a year (for the 30 day months and February).

This is a  distinguished looking watch at an affordable price - definitely 5 STARS.

Check around before you buy this SSB041 model Seiko Chronograph - the price varies on Amazon.
