Another winner from Seiko - love the titanium finish
As a watch hound, I fell in love with this watch at first sight. The matte finish of the titanium case and band combined with the white on black dial made for a very appealing package. When I put it on, the deal was sealed. The light weight and smooth finish of the band said - you can wear this all day in comfort. Titanium is a miracle metal - it doesn't rust, it's tough, it's hypo-allergenic, it's amazingly light and it looks cool.
The watch keeps very good time. The chronograph feature is simple to use - by that I mean, it's intuitive so no manual is required. The alarm function is another matter. Crack the book or you're going to be frustrated. Like some of their other alarm watches, the value of this feature is limited. If you get up every day at 6:00 AM, you have to set the alarm every day. Silly idea.
Overall, this is a bargain for what seems to be a beautiful, well made watch from one of the best names in the business.
High Quality Watch, Great Price!
Purchased this watch due to the features (light weight, durability, 200m water resistance, alarm, and chronograph). When I opened the box, I was stunned at the build quality and precision operation. All hands align exactly with the markers and every detail is sharp. Understated class is the way I describe the appearance of the watch. As stated in other reviews, the only negative I have found is the need to set the alarm within 12 hours each time you need to use it. Otherwise...great watch!
Great value in mens watches
As everyone else noted in their reviews, the Titanium body and band make this a very light weight watch for its size. The 40mm case is a good size for smaller wrists, although I had to remove three links from the band.
The chronograph feature works well and can do splits, but it means that the large second hand does not tell time. There is a separate, tiny subdial that shows a 1 Hz second hand. I wish the main dial would also serve as a 5 Hz second hand in other than chronograph mode. For the reviewers complaining about the dial alignment -- it is adjustable in the time-setting mode. The manual explains it poorly, but you can adjust the offset of the minute and second hands.
The alarm is much too quite to wake me and requires daily setting; instead I use the alarm subdial as a second timezone to display GMT.
