Nice watch but...

I liked the simple look of this watch but one of the main reasons I bought it was because Amazon lists the case diameter as 34mm. It's really 40mm. I had to return it because I was looking for a smaller watch.More detail ...

Great watch for the price

This watch caught my eye as I have been looking for the "Perfect" skeleton watch. This was close but no cigar. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic watch and keeps time well. The problem I had was that it looks slightly different in the picture than it does in real life. The bezel that contains the roman numerals is not white as it appears in the photo its Stainless Steel. If the bezel were white it would pop more in my opinion and look better. It's also slightly smaller than I'd hoped for but that is totally subjective because this is a great and reliable watch either way.



Pros:

1) Keeps time very well for an automatic.

2) You'll get plenty of compliments wearing it.

3) You can feel it winding which tells you it's working correctly.



Cons:

1) Smaller than it could be.



Overall great watch and I wear it frequently.More detail ...

Good value. loud ticking

I had wanted to purchase this watch for 6 month prior to purchase. Amazon has one of the best prices available. Upon arrival it did not disappoint in looks. Great looking watch and comfortable for people like myself that do not like wearing watches very much



Cons:

- On bigger wrists the latch with close on one of the bottom holes. Also the additional leather holder for the extra strap would not stay as I did not have much extra strap after the loop I cut this piece off



- Pretty loud second had in certain areas. I find this incredibly annoying



- Not date



- No light (hour and minutes illuminate)More detail ...

As advertised

I bought this watch to wear when I'm fishing. It is very easy to read because of it's size contrasting face and hands. I don't have to put on my glasses to find out how late I am and it's water resistant in case/when I fall in.More detail ...

Very accurate & long battery life

I bought a Seiko SGG492 in 6/2000 and have found it to be the most accurate watch I've owned. It rarely loses or gains more than a few seconds/month and has only just this month required a new battery after ~5.5 years of daily wear! Indeed the watch is so accurate I assume Seiko must incorporate some form of temperature compensation for the oscillator circuit -making the battery life even more impressive.



The Hardlex crystal has held up well with only one chip and even the band still looks OK though probably due for replacement soon.



My sole complaint is that setting the English/Spanish Day/Date windows is a little cumbersome and since there's no indication of AM/PM you must set to one day and date before the current then advance the hands until rollover to get the right 12hr block. Also since the watch doesn't compensate for months with less than 31 days you'll be forced to adjust the date frequently.

Still this is an attractive thin almost minimalist design that keeps terrific time for the price.More detail ...

Excellent choice.

This is a fine watch. I've gotten plenty of compliments. Runs great easy to set easy to wear. The quality of the arm band is exceptional. Very pleased with the price for the quality of the instrument. Can be worn casually or for formal events.More detail ...

Impressed with Design and Value

I got this at a heavily discounted price.When it came I was thrilled by the look.Its an oversize face easy to read and slim so its not bulky and looks good even on a thin wrist.The proportions between the band and the watch are perfect.I hope to report again in year as to durability and performance.More detail ...

Beautiful watch

I ordered this watch after I lost the sapphire crystal on my 20 year old high-dollar watch. This watch is beautiful and sure to last a long time. It costs as much or more just to repair most watches. My wife and I are both very pleased - the actual watch is MUCH better looking than the photos.More detail ...
