The only reason I rated this as 4 stars is that you can't really see the hour and minute hands in the dark. I know the description says that the hands are luminescent but they really aren't. Other than that, the watch looks great - has the right balance of sporty and class.

I was looking for a watch that I would feel comfortable wearing to business engagements and yet still not feel over-accessorized walking though The Home Depot. This watch came up numerous times in searches in Amazon. The criteria I was looking for was 1) sapphire crystal, 2) multi-faced dial, 3) not too flashy, and 4) price. The biggest problem with the typical "fashionably sporty" watch is that the faces are too big or too thick or simply contrasts too much with the band. I dislike black faced dials on a polished bezel and band. This watch had it all.

The watch is of the utmost quality. You could go to Macy's and pay $400 for this same watch. The band is nicely polished and the clasp is typical Seiko, that's good. The hands are all aligned perfectly in the 12 position and adjustable if they're not. Mine were not out of the box. The hands are actually blue, but provides a nice hint of color on an otherwise bland face, very appealing. There is a nice weight to the watch. Its actually lighter than other similarly sized steel watches I've had.

There is no light, so previous reviewers comments on after-hours time checks are accurate. The hands are typical luminescent hands. They hold the light for 20 minutes maybe. You won't be waking up at night to check the time on this time piece, but that's why you have an alarm clock.

The deciding factor for me was the sapphire crystal. It was a must. I'm not one to spend $500 on a watch because I'm very hard on them. A mineral crystal is simply too easily scratched. I liked some of the Citizen designs, but simply won't spend that kind of money for a mineral crystal. For Seiko quality, with a sapphire crystal under $150 this is a steal. Overall, I'm very happy; 5 stars.

This is a great watch. It has good weight and a great look to it. It is casual and dressy, great for all ocassions. I would highly recommend this watch. The price is also great, you can find it for under $130.

looks good on the wrist - Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very okay watch.

excellent watch! gave as a gift to father. he hasn't taken it off yet. love seiko's

This watch is attractive, fairly heavy and well made (esp for the price). One small complaint is that the glow in the dark hands barely show up. 4 1/2 stars.

Seller was delivering immediately. The watch itself is sporty but elegant, suited for active men.

First of all, the watch looks great. You'll probably like it if you aren't bothered by the second hand.

What looks to be the second hand is actually only used in stopwatch functions, so the watch looks as if it is stopped at all times. Only by noticing a small subdial that is the *real* second indicator can you tell that it is still working.

Three problems with this. First, people think your watch is stopped and you have to explain. Second, it bothers me, aesthetically, to have a frozen second hand on the face of my watch. Third, I have to take a separate glance over at the small dial every time I check the watch --at least if I want to assure myself that the watch is still working, and I am compulsive about that, so I do.

Kind of ruins the watch for me. Your mileage may vary,
