I've got a few watches - all of them more expensive than this one and from well-respected watch makers. But this watch is my favorite. It looks good. It's accurate. The power save feature is really cool (I love the way the hands spin around to catch up when you shake it because its gone to sleep after 24 hours - very hip). But there is one thing that I REALLY love about this watch and that is that the date requires no resetting until the year 2100 (after that its just a simple change, though I'm guessing I won't be around to make the adjustment). I really wonder how many people think to reset the date on their watch when the first of the month rolls around - if you don't the date will become wrong pretty quickly since not all months have 31 days. So, if you're like me, the date on a watch is useless most of the time because the only time I think about it is now and then when I want to confirm the date and, when I do that, I realize that the date may be wrong so I have to do some mental calculation to figure out the date, etc. etc. I mean, if I can figure out the date on my own, what's the point of having it on the watch? So I absolutely love that this watch automatically adjusts for leap years, months with 28, 29, 30, 31 days, AM/PM, etc. ensuring that the date is always correct.
I've never liked a watch so much. I wear it just about all the time. It's great!

I don't believe anyone 'needs' a $400 watch let alone a $4,000 watch. To that end Seiko delivers the quality and looks (always a matter of personal preference) of a much more expensive watch on what some would consider a budget price.

If you're not buying a watch for the name (tag, rolex, breitling, concord, omega, etc) you'll be thrilled with this excellent timepiece. If you're one who feels like you need to justify the fact that it's "Just" a Seiko, you'll want to save up 3-4X the money and get a watch that's likely not as nice looking or accurate, with fewer features, but which does have a fancier name attached.

I personally have 7 watches of varying brands and grades of quality. This is my 3rd and favorite Seiko. I've yet to go into a store and see a watch I like better than this one.

I've had this Seiko for a little over two weeks now. I love all of the high tech features of the watch (Auto relay, perpetual calender, kinetic power). This is a very high style watch, maybe a little to stylized for my taste, although I still like it. It is a very modern look.

Pros: Sapphire crystal which is somewhat rare at this price point ($370).

Perpetual calender means you will never have to set the date.

Auto relay is a neat feature that puts the watch into sleep mode after 24 hours of inactivity. Once you wear the watch again, the time and date automatically update to the current time within 15 seconds accuracy.

Style.

At this price ($370) the watch is an excellent value.

Craftsmanship and quality is nice.

Cons: Style may be a little too modern for some.

Eventually, the rechargeable battery inside the kinetic mechanism will have to be replaced when it can no longer hold a charge.

Conclusion

Overall, I like this watch a lot and it represents a good value with all of it's features. It keeps better time than a lot of higher end automatic watches, and you don't have to reset the calender after days with less than 31 days. I rate it four stars ****

I needed a new watch because my Rolex would run, but date set function no longer worked. After some research, ordered this watch from Amazon. Best price I was able to find online and prompt delivery to boot. I could buy 2 of these Seikos for what it would cost to fix my Rolex.

The watch is exceptional. I've had it now for 3 weeks and it has kept accurate time...to the second! My Rolex was lucky to be within 15 seconds after 4 or 5 days. I often leave the watch unworn for a day or two at a time and the "sleep" function works perfectly.

If you're considering this watch, buy it! It is handsome and very accurate. A great value!

I've had this watch for a couple months now. I have to say I haven't seen a better watch at price ranges up to 10x the cost. It just works/keeps time extremely well. It pairs simplicity w/ technical sophistication. It duels as a dress watch as well as when I'm out in more casual settings. The only thing that would make it more perfect is that Seiko figures out how to make this a perfect traveler's watch as well (timezone changes). Then there would be no reason for really ever adjusting this watch... ever.

I purchased this watch a couple of months back. This i would say is one of the best purchases i've ever made. This picture in the website doesn't do any justice to the actual look of the Watch. It looks wonderful when u see it in real time. And the accuracy of the time is also excellent. i got 2 chances to let this watch go on sleep mode and when i started it back up, just by a small shake, the arms started to rotate beautifully and then came to the EXACT current time after 2 days of sleep. This is a great value addition for this watch. The only discomfort that i felt for the first few days was the weight of the watch pressing on my wrist with the kinda Sharp cap that it has..but i got used to it as days passed by..now i just Luv the watch and am very proud when ever i wear it...as a whole this is a good investment to make!!!!

I got this watch on my birthday, it is wonderful,excellent.I had a Casio G-Shock it was ok, but this meets everthing you could want in a watch. I'am a Producer/Dirctor in television, the correct time and date function are very important to have in the line of work I do. This watch has alot of class to it, people notice the look to it, very rich look.This watch is worth every penny you spend on it.

Hello all, you cannot go wrong with this watch. It is a very good looking watch. The web does it no justice. Great Deal for the money. This is the most expensive watch I have ever had, I have always worn Timex, but no more. The features in the Perpetual Calendar and the Kinetic and it also has a Leap Year Calendar, which I did not need, but no problem. If the watch sets still for more than 12 hours it actually stops. Then the moment you pick it back up it automatically reset's itself, pretty cool feature. When I received it, the watch blew me away. It was delivered quickly and tags were attached and I registered it with [....................]. I can go on........I give it 10 stars if it would let me!!!!! Enjoy.

If you are looking for a practical watch, not a "status" one, this is the one. The new generation Kinetic will keep the watch running for many years. The pertetual feature will keep accurate calandar date for 100 years. The quality of this watch, comparing to my other watches from Omega and Tag Heuer, is identical. You should be very happy about this watch.

Great watch! I have gotten several compliments. The face of the watch is very clear and masculine. It is dressy enough to go with a suit but works great with casual clothing as well. It is very comfortable to wear despite of its size. Amazon shipping service is amazing. Look forward to adding another collection soon!
