This watch may be a little traditional in size compared to the modern trend for oversized men's watches - I think it's 36 or 37mm - but perfect for my 6.5 inch wrists. I am absolutely staggered that Seiko can produce an automatic watch of such quality for such a good price. The watch so far is keeping good time about -7secs per day on the wrist which is well inside the parameters set by Seiko but this can be improved further by laying it face down on a cloth at night which speeds it up a little (the quirks of a mechanical watch). I love the look of the face and the fact there is a day as well as date, and also the finish: the watch is stainless steel (I think) and has a very matt, sand-blasted finish which looks great - it's a cross between a military watch and a dress watch and should be versatile. The bracelet is surprisingly good and perfectly matches the watch. With Seiko 5 watches like this Seiko often put the quality into the watch rather than the bracelet and I have heard horror stories about Seiko 5 bracelets pulling hairs out of your arm and being nearly as good as useless but so far this hasn't been an issue for me despite being a little ape-like myself. It should be noted however that the bracelet is not the easiest to adjust and you may need a spring bar tool or at least a sharp screwdriver and quite a bit of patience to remove links to get the bracelet to the correct size. The watch is very easy to read quickly - the end of the hands are very sharp which aids precise reading of the time and it also has good lume for viewing in the dark. In my opinion, for anyone looking to by an automatic/mechanical watch I think this is the best you can get for the price. It does lack a stop second hand function (hacking) and manual wind which may be an issue for some but so far this hasn't proved a problem for me. Read full review

This watch looked good online, but the face is too small for a men’s watch, the bracelet was covered in a pjs tic film almost impossible to remove and no instructions to adjust a band large enough for Mr T...It has been sitting in my drawer for 2 weeks

This is my go to every day watch. I’ve been wearing it for a couple months now, and still love it! Very light weight and comfortable. Keeps great time. Looking forward to another

The reputation of this watch speaks for itself. Reliable, accurate Seiko movement. Many people buy this watch to modify, as I did. Replaced the hands, and replaced the Hardlex crystal with a single dome sapphire. This little watch is a strap monster, looking great on a vintage leather, as well as any type of NATO. Great value for the money.

Although it is very cheap it doesn’t look like a cheap watch. It goes well not only with a sporty outfit, but you can even wear it as a dress watch. Maybe it is a bit smaller in size than an everyday wall clock nowadays people wear on their wrists. Mine tends to be about 1-2 min fast / week, so i consider it very accurate. I think it’s design never go out of style, so go ahead, buy one! :)
