I recently received this watch as a gift and the giver wanted it to "last for years." From what I can tell, this watch will do just that. I've already worn it in a steamroom, swimming pool, and hot tub and the watch has endured my lackluster carpentry skills without a scratch or any signs of incorrect timekeeping. In fact, from the day I set it until now (three weeks later), the watch is still perfectly synchronized with the atomic clock time from the Internet. The sapphire face is awesome -- it gives all the dials a rotating shimmer when viewd from certain angles which looks really cool. I find the stopwatch incredibly easy to use and the alarm is pretty simple , as well, though you may need to review the instructions the first few times. The alarm is loud enough to wake me from sleep with no problem. The only drawback I've found is with setting the alarm. You pull the knob "one click" to set it and "two clicks" to synchronize the alarm dial with the real time. Sometimes, I inadvertently pull the knob out too far when trying to set the alarm and instead I mess up the time shown on the alarm dial (and concurrently fail to make the alarm go off). However, I'm getting used to it after only a few short weeks. The pictures don't do the watch justice -- the black metal is shiny (kind of like smooth black marble would be) and the band is the most comfortable I've ever had. It doesn't even feel like it's on.

In all, I'm so glad I got this watch! It's the best I've ever owned and one of the few analog watches (which look much more classy than digital) that offer both a stopwatch and an alarm.

The watch is really stylish and you are guaranteed to get many compliments.
I recommend this with no doubt...

Like the other reviewer stated, this watch actually has a very shiny black obsidian finish. I wanted a matte black watch and I love Seiko, so based on the pictures this was an easy choice. I contemplated returning the watch but it is still very attractive and I realized the shiny finish would make it more versatile with both casual and dressy attire. I've been wearing it for a week now and I love it. The shiny finish is growing on me every day, and I get a ton of compliments. It is also very well built and fits great on my wrist. Highly recommended, but be warned about the misleading photos.

It's a really first-rate watch. Elegant and from high quality material. And the chronograph told you everything about precision in timing.

OK, so it doesn't have the matte finish like i wanted but the watch has this titanium carbon black luster that is ten fold. Perfect balance of simplicity and class. I am definitely going to buy a second one it's so impressive. I never take it off and it gets non-stop compliments. For the price, ...its a steal. do it.


( i think it would sell a lot more if they showed ACTUAL photos of the watches style or color or whatever the heck you want to call it because the matte black looks effing retarded in retrospect)

I just received the watch in the mail, and it is even more impressive in person. It's not quite as light or as thin as I thought it would be, but that is fine since it has a nice weight and shape to it. The silver hour marks on the watch face sort of gleam with the light, so at first it looks like diamond chips, but it's just the silver lines. This makes it great for casual or dressier wear.
Overall, I am extremely excited to give this watch to my husband for Father's Day.
