Watch came in with box. Good packaging and fast delivery a day earlier from the day it was supposed to come. The watch itself was in new condition. Super fun watch to look at but can be difficult to actually tell time at first with the busy dial. Besel turns both ways. Has screw down crown so if you want to jump into the pool or ocean it's ok. Has a yellow chronomoter hand which adds a certain playfulness to the style of the watch. Bracelet is kinda heavy. It is hard to find straps for since it is 21mm. And the bezel moves just slightly when I sleep that I have to fix it because it just ticks me when it isn't aligned when I wake up. All in all fun, cool watch that I have loved everyday and hasn't left my wrist since arrival.

The Seiko SNA411P1 is a fantastic watch. The chronograph is done very tastefully, and the fly-back feature is enjoyable to watch. While it may be hard to read at first, it is easy to get used to. The dial is very busy, but it still has a charm to it, and it isn't overly distracting. The slide rule bezel is very useful and the extra features like unit conversions are quite handy. My main problem is the bracelet. It is not well built, and it rattles a lot making the entire watch feel "cheap" for lack of a better word. I promptly put the watch on a NATO and it became 10x cooler. I would not say its necessary to change the bracelet, but I personally prefer either a NATO or a 3rd party bracelet. All in all it is a very good watch, and I will enjoy it for a long time.

This is a very complex watches but fully functional ... compass bearings, c&d scale Slide rule, special index for common unit conversions, minutes to hour and minute conversion (using the inner slide rule scale for minutes (very clever), tachymeter, stopwatch, alarm (or set to another time zone). It even has screw down 'pushers' around the stopwatch buttons for water resistance. It is no longer in production by Seiko and as this was my last chance to own one at a discounted price so I had to order one. I highly recommend this watch.

The watch is comfortable and looks super cool. I love looking at the face of it all day. It has a bi-directional bezel for when you need to calculate things (if you're actually a pilot, that is). It's 200m water resistant, although you have to remember that this is a pilot's watch, not a dive watch. I like that this watch also features an alarm, although the alarm isn't too loud. It's more for remind you to do things rather than to wake you up. The alarm feature can also serve as a second time zone when you're flying between different time zones, although when you're using the GMT function you can't use the alarm feature. The alarm can't be used unless the hands are on the same position as the main minute and hour hands. The steel bracelet is pretty easy to adjust. It is one of those push-pin style bracelets but I had zero issues adjusting the bracelet. You may need a special tool for the push pins to be able to get the pins out. You can always take the watch to your local watch repair place for help. Couple things that may turn off some people. The chronograph buttons. They have a screw feature where you have to unscrew the rings around the chrono buttons if you need to use the chronograph or set and use the alarm. A bit of an inconvenience but I got over it. I've been wearing this watch for almost 2 weeks straight and I'm not complaining. My other problem is the lugs. This watch has a 21mm lug width. Because the lug holes are pretty deep into the watch, almost no other type of watch strap will work, no standard NATOs or leather straps or anything like that as they are too thick. They would work if the lug holes weren't so deep into the watch. Also, there's not a lot of straps with 21mm lengths. The only kinds of straps you can put on this watch are those Marine Nationals parachuter straps and even those are a hassle to put on the watch, although they look pretty cool once they're on the watch. Go for the Erika's Marine Nationals straps. Those are supposed to be pretty good. Overall, though, this watch is still awesome and I recommend it for those trying to find a good pilot's watch or who just like the aesthetics of the watch.Read full review

Was looking to buy a chrono watch looking like the Navitimer and I'm really glad I bought the SNA411. At first I used it with bund leather strap with matching yellow stitching, but lately use it with it's bracelet. Not sure why people complain about the bracelet, it's quite good. Quality control could be better, the big seconds hand is slightly disalligned and the alarm subdial has some issues, sounds 30 minutes off from when it's set. But it was relatively inexpensive at bellow $250.
