This watch is great.  The style and the band are very similar to the Grand Seiko watch at a fraction of the price, but it doesn't feel like a replica.  And it isn't. This is a sturdy, classy, understated watch that looks and feels like a top quality timepiece.  Hasn't lost a second since I've owned it and the Kinetic feature is a real winner. At a little over a hundred dollars, this watch was a real steal.
