I had some early misgivings about it - the size for one. I can safely say it was worth every penny. I had my eye on this watch for about 6 months - I visited various watch shops to look at it - to see if I could justify its high price. not much more than getting the Seiko fixed. For the price (about half RRP in my case) it was a snip. it could just have been slightly MORE perfect (if less blingy) with a few minor changes. This all sounds rather negative, but actually I like it a lot. It's been out in the damp and not yet steamed up inside (eat your heart out Seiko).Īdjusting the strap is a £5 job at Timson's or similar, unless you have the right tool for the job. The glass is 'mere' crystal, rather than synthetic sapphire, diamond, or whatever, but has not scratched so far. I don't require sub-minute accuracy on alarm time). I'd rather have a 4th hand, or a separate dial (use that 24 hour dial. The main hands are used to set alarm time (the alarm being so quiet I'd never trust it unless I put the watch in my ear at night), and the movement between 'alarm time' and 'real time' (and maybe between time zones, which I haven't tried) is depressingly slow - limited by mechanics I assume. maybe one could have been used to flip the second hand to the month display? There are also the two buttons which pierce the integrity of the case, but in normal timekeeping mode do absolutely zip. I dislike the rather-too-busy face (the 24 hours dial could just have been an AM/PM indicator, and I'm not a huge fan of Roman numerals) - a slightly larger date window would have been nice too. I like the perpetual calendar and the ecodrive.

I bought this (as a 'used' model, which means the box had been opened, and the manual creased, and the time set 12hrs wrong, and that's about it) to replace a Seiko kinetic, on which the supercap had died (and the seals were leaking).
