Customer Reviews

4 years and still going strong
I received this watch as a Christmas present in 2004 - and I have not had a single issue with it. In fact, I have yet to replace a battery!

As others have mentioned the watch is very lightweight. This is important to me since I really dislike wearing watches - however - the Seiko titanium is so lightweight that I hardly notice that I have it on my wrist.

Other Positives-

- Keeps great time. I have never had to adjust the time other than the obvious reasons (time zone changes and such)
- Titanium is even more chemical resistant that stainless steel. Therefore, unless you decide to stick you wrist in hydrofluoric acid (Which would cause you bigger issues than your watch band dissolving) you are pretty safe.... unless you work "in" methanol. Titanium can crack if it is directly exposed to very dry (95% pure) methanol. Again - this would not effect 99.99% of potential consumers. There are many, many more chemicals that will attack stainless steel, aluminum, leather and rubber.

Slight Negatives-

- I have scratched the watch face. In fact, a couple of the scratches are rather deep.
- I have mixed feelings on self-illuminating hands. They can be helpful, but can detract from the watches looks.


Final verdict - This is the best watch that I have owned.

nice watch
Very light weight, appropriately sized, not too gaudy or flashy, accurate so far, reasonably priced - pretty much everything I was after in a watch.

Elegant watch
Beautiful watch. Very light weight and classy looking. Best price vs. online or in stores.
