Amazon.com Product Description
This Seiko Submariner men's watch combines precision chronography with a timeless and stylish design. The sleek 21-millimeter-wide bracelet with a fold-over-clasp-with-safety, transitions effortlessly into the classic round 46-millimeter case, both of which are constructed of stainless steel with a bright, polished silver finish. Encased safely inside a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal, the jet-black dial perfectly accentuates the light-catching, LumiBrite hands and hour markers, and is bordered by a black stainless-steel, rotating bezel with markers to measure elapsed time. This sophisticated timepiece also sports a date window at 3 o'clock, and three subdials for measuring seconds and minutes, and for setting an alarm. As resilient as it is refined, this analog watch is driven by a precise quartz movement, and is water resistant down to 330 feet.

Customer Reviews

SEIKO SNA225P1
Nice watch. Heavy. Very good quality. Quartz movement knockoff of Rolex Dayton with Submariner bezel. Very substantial feel. Has alarm, stopwatch, and date. The only negative I can see is the second hand does not sweep, unless in stopwatch mode. Picture does not do the watch justice. Seiko cranks out another great knockoff. It is currently my favorite watch out of seven I own. Don't tell anyone, but it keeps better time and I like it better than my Rolex Sub(mariner) which cost about twenty times the price of this watch.

Suitable for astro-navigation
I bought my first Seiko Quartz watch about 20-years ago, when I was preparing to navigate my boat across the Atlantic using a sextant. The Seiko dive watch was intended to be a backup to my Rolex GMT-master, a certified chronometer. But the Seiko had such better accuracy compared with the Rolex, it ended up being my primary piece for establishing the time of my sun-sights. The accuracy was within about two seconds per month.

Over the last twenty years, my Seiko dive watch became rather tired and worn looking. The colours of the bezel are no where near as bright as they were when new. Then, one day, I took a shower while having left the screw-down crown open...and moisture entered the watch. The result was that the hands became corroded, and I couldn't see them anymore without my reading glasses....but the watch still kept excellent time.

So, wanting to buy a new watch, I got the Seiko SNA225 chronograph. It's absolutely gorgeous. It looks like a Rolex Submariner and a Rolex Daytona chronograph rolled into one. I've checked the time-keeping of the SNA225 over two days against the Naval Observatory website. So far I've seen no change in accuracy whatsoever.

The only possible fault with this watch is that the alarm rings about a half hour later than I set it, but I suspect this can be corrected by re-zeroing the alarm dial hands (if I figure out how to do that). In any case, I don't care. I never intend to use the alarm function.

One thing that did confuse me is that there seem to be two similar model numbers being sold, the SNA225 and the SNA225P1. As far as I can determine, they both have identical appearance and functions, and they both have the same 7T62 Quartz movement.

Everything but the band
Just got my watch today in the mail. I read the reviews before making the purchase and I can say that I'm happy with the purchase. The only thing I don't love is that the band is a little flimsy. Overall, the watch has great weight, and it feels sturdy, but the band just feels a little light. Other than that it seems to be a really good watch. And I haven't figured out how to set the alarm yet, but I'm sure I will.
