I purchased this watch because I wanted a casual automatic. This Seiko was reasonably priced and the clarity of the dial and overall appearance caught my attention. It is light weight and comfortable to wear and very easy to read at a glance. I selected the super saver savings shipment, which at times can be as quick as a few days, and as long as too many. The watch showed up 3 days before the estimated arrival date, perhaps setting the stage in a positive way. The watch has a day / date display with rapid set feature. It does not have a manual wind feature, but is easily kept wound with a few minutes twice a day when not worn. Stays powered overnight and during the day with just a few hours of ware during the evening. So far this Seiko 5 keeps good time, within a few seconds a day and a minute per week. It does not have a hacking movement, but can be set to the second with slight counter clockwise pressure on the crown to stop the movement in second (time setting) position to accomplish the same result. If you are looking for a nice light, easy to read automatic at a good price, then buy this one. I purchased the green one, but it comes in other colors that I am sure are equally cool.
