I've been interested in the SKX007 model for years, and finally made the decision to acquire one. I realize there are both K and J versions, but won't get into that here. This review is for the K model.

Watch appearance is largely subjective so I'll try to comment on more objective characteristics. As a watch enthusiast, I am impressed by the build quality of this watch. The case is polished (machine polished, not bright shiny like a chrome plating). The caseback has the famous Seiko tsunami emblem. The rubber strap is the classic Seiko diver version; my wrist is 7 3/4 inches and the strap sizing is fine. The rubber strap is on the stiff side; some may find the stiffness less than ideal but it has not bothered me enough to replace it. The bezel clicks precisely; some have reported misaligned bezels, but mine is spot-on (bezels can also be adjusted if a slight misalignment is too much for your preference). The watch has a smooth second hand sweep, incredible super luminous hands and markers (the lume even glows in daylight sometimes), and a rock-solid screw down crown. In nearly 3 months of wear the automatic movement has kept accurate time. Additionally, I should note my SKX007 arrived in the factory Seiko box and included all packaging, tags, and papers.

As many already know, the SKX007 has a pedigree. Seiko hit the mark, as this diver line has stood the test of time over many decades. I travel frequently and this watch is always in my "everyday carry" kit.

**Update April 2017**
I have had this watch for four years and it has become my all-time favorite, go-to watch-- even more so than some watches that cost several multiples more than the SKX007. The Seiko quality and performance for the price is amazing. Incredible accuracy. The case, bezel, strap, and crystal still look new, even after these years. Highly recommend the SKX007 or it's closely-related brethren, the SKX173.
