I was shopping for a cheaper work watch, actually, when I came across this watch here at Amazon - and instantly knew I had to own it. I've always been a sucker for analogue chronographs and this one, with its unique style and awesome price (over 1/2 off here at Amazon) was impossible to resist. All the features I wanted, serious heft and durability, and a true "conversation timepiece". About the only improvement I would ask for is a louder alarm, as this one is really too quiet to actually wake up a SOUND sleeper such as myself, unless you're sleeping with your wrist near your head. All in all, best watch I've ever owned.

So far so good on this watch. I was initially concerned that it would be too heavy but that has not been the case. I've received many compliments about the look. My only problems with it are that it's nearly impossible to get the date to not jump ahead to the next day too early and the alarm is difficult to set.

Exceptional design. Functions on the watch like the alarm and stop watch are easily accessed. Triggering the stop watch is comfortably done with the large yet discrete buttons. This allows for better precision to start/stop. My only question is how scratch resistant is the titanium plated portion of the watch. Otherwise I am very happy with the excellent mix of style and functionality.

you must be extremely careful of the surface, as it is easy to scratch and damage. I work a desk job, and the daily banging around quickly took its toll. I highly encourage an extended warranty to facilitate repairs (i did so with Zales).
Don't get em wrong, the large face and assymmetrical profile always get attention, and the weight is much less than you would expect.

I've been waiting for this watch to come down in price for about two years. It's worth the wait.

Why? Okay, read the specs posted above. Not too shabby. It's a Seiko, good reputation ans warranty. It doesn't scratch. It's a chronograph.

But mostly, it looks freaking cool. Just cool enough to wear with a suit and not look too flashy, or in normal clothes and look sporty without being tacky.

I've had this watch for almost two weeks and I'm very happy with it. The price is a steal. There are stores selling this watch for $260 and I have seen as high as $297. The quality and durability are fantastic. I work in an environment that other watches I've owned didn't make it one or two days without some form of visible scratch. So far I cannot find a single scratch on an any part of it. The look of the watch is very unique and the size is perfect. I've received many compliments and have been asked many questions about it. It's also a duel role watch. Sporty enough to wear out during the day and dressy enough to wear with a suit.

As the other reviewers have said, this watch has a lot going for it, so I won't repeat what they have already mentioned. Generally, it's a unique, well built watch from a good company. But.....

There are however, two annoyances. 1) The silver matte finish scratches too easily, and they can't be buffed out without further damaging the finish.

2)The band is only adjustable by removing entire links; there is no "micro-adjustable" clasp. Since the links are large, if it's a little too small, adding a whole link will make it way too loose. I initially removed two links and it was tight enough to leave a slight impression on my wrist. When I added one link, it's so loose it flops around. Even cheap watches have clasps that can be adjusted a millimeter at a time by moving a pin in different holes. That type of adjustable clasp in addition to removing links makes for a perfect fit. Unfortunately, this nice watch will likely be too big or too small, and there is nothing you can do about it. Seiko didn't even put half-links in the band for a more accurate fit.

I would give it 3 stars for such a glaring (and annoying) design oversight, but this is such an awesome watch it gets extra credit!

This watch rocks !!! i like it very much, it looks classy and sports at the same time, you can wear it with a suit or with a casual outfit

I now own one!!! And I love it.
Will never use the functions, that's not why I wanted it.
It's everything I was drooling over in every picture I had seen of it.
It simply looks fantastic, is nicely heavy without being overweight and is the best gift I have been given in a long time.
Would be even crazier about it, if it was kinetic with a simple watch face,(like the SKA453 if that piece had a steel bracelet in this unique finish).

It's the just watch for the sport , light and consistent ,practic and nice.
