Lightweight, Handsome and Accurate,

I bought this watch at an auction site and when it was delivered I thought the box was empty because the watch is so lightweight. I own many watches, including a Kinetic Seiko, and this titanium beauty ranks near the top. Only my Rolex Datejust is nicer looking than this timepiece.
It is very easy to set the day, date and time and the accuracy is unbeatable. I highly suggest this watch for you or to buy as a gift. The Seiko website lists the suggested price at $395, so Amazon is giving you a nice bargain at the current price.

I normally don't buy battery watches because I hate to get a new battery and all the hassle. With this 5 year life, though, it should be ok.

Nice watch,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Every Seiko I have ever owned has been extremely reliable. The big difference here is the weight. The titanium makes the watch very light. Simple to set, it keeps time perfectly. Looks expensive, but you know better. Highly recommended!
