I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. When I pulled it out of it's packaging I have to say that I was disappointed. I thought it looked cheap - especially for the brand and price. However my husband claims to love it. He was impressed with the way the links are connected on the band. He always adjusts his own watches and says he feels confident that this band will not break. (My husband is infamous for breaking his watches.) So overall; it doesn't look bad, but not what I'd expect visually from Seiko. But the man wearing it, loves it.
