This review is from: Seiko Men's SPC015 Coutura Advanced Chronograph Timer Watch (Watch)
I had a seiko before, Kinetic, but the internal automatic system was dying out. this was after 10 years of daily use. bought this one due to being Seiko and looks like a great watch for the price I got it for on Amazon. looks better that the watches they sell on tv.

Fantastic, great looking, very functional watch, February 16, 2011
This review is from: Seiko Men's SPC015 Coutura Advanced Chronograph Timer Watch (Watch)
My fiancée gave me this watch for an early wedding present. I searched in stores and online for about 2 months to select the perfect watch, and this is it for me. It features classic Seiko items such as the sapphire crystal, Japanese movement, glow-in-the-dark watch hands, 10 Bar water resistant, excellent durability, etc. I love the modern styling, this is not the same boring watch that my father and grand father had.
This watch also features a 24-hour alarm, yachting timers in 5, 6, & 10 minute increments, countdown timer, chronograph, date window, and daily alarm. The user guide is online from Seiko if it is not included with the watch. A 10-20 minute read will instruct you how to use all of the features. I personally keep mine on the 24-hour alarm (TIME setting on the face) because I can easily set key reminders.
Because of the yachting features, the numbers around the face range from 1-16, instead of the 1-12. Previous reviewers have complained about this for various reasons. If this annoys you, then don't buy this watch. It in no way affects how you use the watch or how you read time. It did take some getting used to, but after a few days of daily wear, it is no longer an issue for me.
Overall, I absolutely love this watch. I wear it daily and get compliments pretty regularly on my watch. I plan on one day passing this watch down to my future children. I recommend to anyone seeking a solid, sharp looking, feature loaded watch.

High Quality but funny function, May 11, 2009
This review is from: Seiko Men's SPC015 Coutura Advanced Chronograph Timer Watch (Watch)
The watch is well built and high quality. However, there are two functions that I do not like. Otherwise I will give 5 stars to it.
The first is the marked number. It has 1 to 16. instead of 1 to 12. This is little bit confused when you need to read the time. The second is the center hand is not for second. It is just used to point to the center. It is never move. The second hand actually is the small hand on the left most circle.
