I'll admit I bought this watch as a "knock around" work watch.  However, I quickly recognized it as "too nice" for that.  I have several watches from a inexpensive Timex to a solid gold antique Waltham (have not made the leap to a Rolex, yet) and this is the one which gets the most compliments.  I've even had two of my friends buy them as well after seeing mine.

  Pretty much what you expect from Seiko: Quality made, nice glass crystal, solid feel (but not too heavy) and a reasonable price.  Mine is the "Olive Drab" and the military retro look is versatile and fashionable enough for many occasions.

  It works best when  worn daily (or at minimum pick it up and shake it) to keep running, especially when new.  It will also lose a few minutes a day yet all of this improves (accuracy and momentum) once it gets "broke in."

  Buy it for yourself or buy it for a friend.  They come in a variety of colors and Amazon will back this for 2 years if you have warranty concerns.  This is a great wrist watch.
