5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent titanium day/date 5 year battery, July 7, 2006

This review is from: Seiko Men's SGF709 Dress Two-Tone Watch (Watch)

hour/minute/second hands analogue face that is lightweight, sealed and water resistant to withstand slight submersion, has a secure lightweight locking titanium hypoallergenic bracelet, and an easy to read analogue dial with hands that glow in the dark after exposure to light. Titanium is not only lightweight but stronger than steel.

This lightweight dress watch was purchased as an alternative to my heavy Seiko diver's watch still running well after 25 years. The SGF709 has no alarm nor chronograph and there are less expensive models if you don't want a day of the week or second hand. But, I like the weight and features of this model plus my spouse likes the looks; so it was a great purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars SGF709 was what I was looking for, September 6, 2006

Basically, I was looking for lightweight titanium day/date watch. Seiko is probably (or at least as far I was searching) practically only brand that has these parameters in this price range.
Got a good deal, free shipping (otherwise DHL costs around 30-40$ to Finland). The minus was that Finland's customs, thanks to EU, slammed me 46,01 customs tax bill :( It still costed with taxes for me about 181 compared to Finland's prices: cheaper versions like SGG709 cost here 189-219 and this SGF709 would have costed even more.
To try to be critical - only negative notice about the watch is that seconds dial is not exactly aligned, it is 1/4 of a second behind. So - good but not perfect :)

This review is from: Seiko Men's SGF709 Dress Two-Tone Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch last summer (2006) and have barely taken it off. I used to wear a dressy Seiko to work and put on a Casio when I got home. This titanium model is lighter than any black plastic watch, plus it keeps luminous visibility through the night (no need for a "light behind" feature). It still looks new after almost continuous wear for a year and the gold tones with the grey titanium band make the watch dressy enough for even the most formal occasions. For me, it's just about perfect.
