 Seiko watch works just like a Seiko should January 14, 2008

As usual Amazon comes through. My Seiko watch is as advertised and was a great price. Thanks.
 Looks good, but some things are deceiving... December 27, 2007

I purchased this watch 6 months ago. At first glance, it looks fantastic. The functions are great. Here's the problem, Seiko uses the thinnest and cheapest spring bar on the market. The spring bar is the metal bar that holds the bracelet to the watch case. I learned this from a very reputable jeweler in my area who serviced the watch. In 4 months, I had to replace them 3 times because they would bend and the bracelet would come loose. Because of this very reason, the jeweler I consulted stated that he used to carry them because they looked great and were a good seller, but he got tired of the constant warranty service he had to perform for this very reason. For the money, there are other watches with stronger components and the same features and for possibly less money. I replaced this watch with one from Casio and have been very pleased.
 Great watch December 4, 2007
This is a beautiful watch and I am happy with it. Received several positive comments from collegues etc.. Owned it for 18 months now. The timekeeping is very accurate. Although initially felt a little heavy I don't even feel it now. Good fit once strap adjusted. The blue colour of the dial is beatiful with matching dials. The glass has not scratched so far although the watch had a few knocks as I walk around ( on walls etc.)
The strap came off once from where it is attached to the watch in an accident whilst I was struggling to open a wine bottle with an old style cork screw (no... I wasn't drunk!), but managed to put it back myself with a small screwdriver.
Although there are several types of calculations that can be done using the bezel, I've never used it so far. I'm more likely to use the PDA to do the calculations than the watch bezel if necessary. However the bezel is also designed beautifully and makes the watch looks quite interesting, impressive and possibly expensive. I got it for a great price at the time ($100) from Amazon but would probably still buy it at the current price ($145). Overall happy with purchase.
SEIKO'S screw down crown needs to be mentioned in the watch manual so that people don't use pliers to try pull the crown out as someone mentioned in another SEIKO watch review.
Great watch at good price. November 25, 2007

I agree with other reviews that this is an excellent watch for the price. Not as solid and sturdy as higher end chronos such as Tag, but then not expected to be for under 1/10th the price. Rich blue dial and good size, big enough if you like bigger sporty watches, but not TOO big like some are now. Would look good on any size wrist (I have a smaller wrist and still looks good). One note regarding the review stating the large second hand did not work unless in timing mode. The large hand is the second hand in timer mode, but one of the smaller dials, at 9 o'clock, is the normal second hand which operates normally. This struck me as unusual, but for me does not detract from the watch.

I purchased this watch as a congratulatory gift for my brother for receiving his pilot's license. I could tell it was a gorgeous watch from the pictures online but it's much better in real life. He knew exactly what it was before I even got a word out about all the pilot's watch functions. He absolutely loved it and has played around with all the features and says it will definitely come in handy when he's flying. He said it will replace the two or three manual slide-rule type of instruments he carries in his flight bag every time he flies as a safety precaution. He said he's also torn between wearing it everyday because he likes it so much, or keeping it as a dress/when-he's-flying watch. Either way, it was an awesome buy and I (and he) would recommend it highly both as a functional pilot's watch and as a watch that can make the transition from everyday wear to dress watch for your average Joe.
