This review is from: Seiko Men's SNA694 Coutura Alarm Chronograph Watch (Watch)

While I am quite delighted with this purchase, as the watch is very well made and looks great, the readability of the watch is not immediate. I suspect my eyes will adjust to the watch over time to allow me to quickly discern the current time. The weight is a quite a bit more than my titanium Seiko grand sport watch, but it is not noticeable by the arm and wrist while being worn. The gold tone is a more subtle than one might anticipate; the pictures do not do justice to the timepiece. All in all, I am happy with the purchase and the price on Amazon. Brick and mortar stores compete unfavorably to the prices offered on Amazon. I highly recommend purchasing this product. Good value, good product, good look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seiko alarm watch, May 8, 2008

By 

Dachief "Dandy Don" (Derby, KS) - See all my reviews

I am quite pleased with the appearance and accuracy of the Seiko Courtura watch (SNA694) I purchased. I have owned Seiko watches since the 1960's when I bought my first one in Southeast Asia. However, as I get older I find the alarm is too high pitched and the volume too low to suit these 70 year old ears. On the other hand I have far fewer requiremens to be reminded with an alarm.

This review is from: Seiko Men's SNA694 Coutura Alarm Chronograph Watch (Watch)

This is a ruggedly handsome timepiece. It isn't dainty, yet it isn't oversized or bulky. Of course, it keeps accurate time without question. The one complaint I have is that it is a bit hard to read at a glance. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the contrast between the hands and the face is not sufficient to make possible a quick note of the time. However, I have learned that viewing the watch at a slight angle or minimizing the glare or reflection off the bezel can greatly reduce this drawback. Without this distraction, I would award 5 stars.
