The watch is very good in all ways except the band.
Pros:
Nice medium size for small to medium wrist; excellent night viewing, nice pumpkin orange background, solid Seiko stainless construction, day/date feature and excellent water resistance to a depth that most humans can't swim and just plain nice looking.

Cons:
Band, I read the reviews and just couldn't believe that it would be that uncomfortable but it is, the good news is you can get a nice replacement on amazon for $10 to $20 which is worth the cost if you compare this watch to the equivalent Citzen.  The citizen while more comfortable out of the box it lacks the screen toughness of hardlex vs mineral.  I ordered a replacement band that goes with the Citizen as their band is very comfortable.

Update:
I replaced the band with Men's Rubbertech Silicone Rubber Watchband Stainless Steel Buckle in black 20mm.  It fits great and is very comfortable.
