I have definitely loved the watches that Seiko had made over the years, but there have been some models that have felt like they have been definitely a hit and miss. Their Solar watches have been excellent in style and design in almost every model. But this one does lose a bit of class. This expansion band piece doesn't feel stylish or classy with the band. It feels instead more flimsy in design. While the solar movement stands well on its own, there still could have been a little more in detail to match in the hands of the watch, and better water resistance. I also do feel that going for a expansion band instead of a leather strapped watch is not worth the money. I like Seiko's Solar watches, but this one is not for me in price, and more could have been done for the value.
