This watch is as simple as it can get no extra nuts and bolts or fancy technological advances that would baffle the mind. I bought it for a few reasons - to tell the time and date and to be the owner of a sleek black ion-plated watch that never needs a battery and equally last a long time (ticking the seconds of life away for as long as I own it).

And this watch right here hits the mark and even surpassed my expectation. Upon receiving it I took it out of the box put it into the sunlight, set the date, removed two links and it was like a charm. I wear it both for work and recreation and have received lots of complements on it and for me it was a simple replacement to a Seiko watch that I owned for over 15 years and I expect with the eco-drive technology that this will last me as equally as long or probably a little bit longer (only time will tell). :)

I can personally guarantee that you will not be disappointed in purchasing this watch as a gift for yourself or loved ones - it is simply great.
