Well, it says I have to write at least 20 words, so here goes: word word word word word word word word word word....okay, this is a great watch, the bracelet seems a bit floppy and loose but I will have it adjusted tomorrow to fit my wrist.  Right out of the box and with a little bit of light it was running ("It's...Alive!!), and the functions remind me of the traditional Seiko alarm-chrono, like the venerable SNA586P1.  Plus, the SSC001 has a 'demo' function for the alarm, so you can check that it's working pretty much anytime.  The alarm is so quiet, I think it's more like a daytime, hey-I'm-awake reminder, you can hear it if the watch is in your ear, but it works well.  The chrono, date, time and everything else is supreme on this watch.  The dial is more grey than black, although the date shows as black with white numbering - really sharp.  And the inner bezel/ring around the dial of the watch is black with white numbering, sharp too.  So far, performance is great, keeping good time.  Well, there's my 20 words, heck.  Seiko - king of the toolwatch/daily beater hill.  Thank you.
