Very happy with this watch. I wanted a nice looking sturdy watch without all the useless(to me)add ons that most have that I could wear daily. Fits the ticket. I knew I would need to remove a few links from the band and expected the manual would have directions for that. No such Luck. I guess they want you to go to a jewelers. I googled remove link from Seiko watch band and several sites came up with excellent direction. In under 10 minutes it was a perfect fit. This was a great buy.
