Seiko Men's Automatic Dive Watch Review

My favorite watch ...
Superb. This is my first watch with a rubber strap and I find it very comfortable. If I had to give up all of my watches except one, this is the one I would keep :) Gains about 2 minutes a week, but I don't mind setting the time occasionally.

Good overall
The good:

The watch is good looking and keeps time well. Amazon also has the best price in town ($150 less than local department stores). The watch has seen about 10 hours of bottom time since purchased and is still running great. The hands are bright enough at night to see but not so bright that you light up the whole room (I like it dark when sleeping). The bezel has nice positive clicks with 30 second metering (not to tight or too loose).

The not so good:

The watch tends to work (rotate) itself around my wrist in the direction of my pinkie finger. This makes it difficult to tell time without grabbing the watch and rotating it back to a position centered on the top of my wrist. I believe this may be "personal issue" for me since my wrist diameter is larger than most (most watches with steel bands fit right out of the box for me with no links removed). What seems to happen is the hasp on the band tends to center itself on the bottom of my wrist leaving the watch off center on the top. It's thick with a thick band. The wife complains that the band pinches her if she rolls on to my arm in bed.

Overall

This is a good rugged mechanical watch. It has taken some hits on land and underwater and still looks new out of the box. I have been wearing it everyday (and night) and it appears to have gained about 1 minute in one month. All in all a great watch at any price, the band could use some tweaking.

I love this watch. The glow in the dark indicators stay luminated all throught the night and it keeps very accurate time. The rotating bezel is smooth and easy to opperate. It's very comfortable to wear,a great watch. Very Attractive.
