I decided to get a self-winding watch as I had heard that battery-driven watches can affect your health due to their electromagnetism.

I have owned several Seiko watches over a lifetime and have yet to actually wear one out.  My preferences change before they need replacement.

This watch is self-winding, attractive, easy to read, has a date calendar, is waterproof, light and fits well.  It does have luminescent markers, although I might them a bit brighter for truly dark conditions.

All said, this watch is an incredible product for the money.
