5.0 out of 5 stars Seiko Coutura Alarm Chronograph Alarm SNA343, September 5, 2005

This review is from: Seiko Men's SNA343 Coutura Alarm Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I can't wear this watch out of the house but someone comments on its beauty. A real head turner and conversation piece. It is stunning and dazzling. The form, fit and detail rivals watches costing hundreds more. Portions are highly polished and dazzle like a chrome finish. The blue dial is purplish blue and changes shades in different lighting. The markers sparkle as well. A fine piece of jewelry.

The watch is extremely accurate keeping right up with my atomic clock.

This is a chronograph as opposed to a chronometer that is a swiss made watch to be called a chronometer has to be tested by the "COSC" (Controle Officiel Swiss des Chronometres). They do rigorous tests to make sure that the watch maintains accurate time in all conditions. They do have a certain range that they agree to.

Chronograph is a watch that has two different time systems (apparatus). They are used to find different time intervals in the form of seconds, minutes, days etc.

Indeed being a Ham radio operator, I use the Seiko alarm function as a second time zone set to UTC time. And its great for keeping track of elasped time and has an alarm function that you can actually hear. The second hand increments in very fine steps almost like a continuous sweep.

But it can be difficult to read in low light, so perhaps look at the other versions with a white or black dial. When I go out at night (ready for this) I carry a $20 Timex pocket watch with indigo lighting (wish all watches had this).
[...]
I would suggest seeing this watch up close and personal with the different dial colors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking watch with a PURPLE face., January 15, 2007

This review is from: Seiko Men's SNA343 Coutura Alarm Chronograph Watch (Watch)

The face is technically blue but really looks purple. We saw it in a store and loved the purple face. It was cheaper online. It does look blue in some light but mostly it's purple. Don't buy it unless you are ok with it looking purple. The band contours to the actual face of the watch so it's one continuous piece. it's a BIG watch and has some weight to it. Don't buy it for a small man, it might overwhelm his arm.

I had looked at this watch in regular retail stores. I thought I would check out Amazon's pricing and availability.
Fantastic Results! It was half the price and recieved the watch in two days! (standard shipping)
It came in a beautiful Seiko box with the factory warranty and instruction book!
The watch itself is a great looking timepiece and has been very accurate in time keeping.
