There are a few negative reviews on this product. I would like to express my delight with this product and comment on the negative reviews. One consumer stated that the watch kept stopping when left off. That is the beauty of this watch. It runs on the power you give it by wearing the watch.
I am one of those people who kills watch batteries. My mother and I both do this. Something with the current in our bodies. I have been through many, many watches. I thought I might just be being buy cheap watches and spent quite a bit of money on a high quality watch about 5 years ago. I was mistaken though when that watch also died after about 12 days. I went through 34 watch batteries in those five years. I spent enough money on batteries to buy a new watch. Then I bought this Seiko.
This watch runs BECAUSE you wear it. So, do not be misinformed if you want to wear it occasionally and then leave it on the dresser or jewelry box. This needs to be worn to maintain it's time. However, I have found that mine lasts more than two days on the dresser and still is going. Then after giving it one little shake it starts right up and keeps perfect time. I think the reviewers that gave the watch a negative rating were naive when buying the watch.
This watch looks beautiful. Can be day or evening wear. Keeps time nicely. I especially like the day of the week/date function. Even when changing this function or re-setting the time..the watch keeps going. It does not turn off when the stem is pulled out. Another neat feature is that the second hand does not tick but rather it sweeps around the dial smoothly. Very neat. Even my most expensive watch did not do that.
The watch is quiet. You do not hear the winding mechanism. However, the case is slightly thicker than a normal watch because of the self wind mechanisms. Overall, I think the watch is a great buy. I would Highly Recommed it.

This is my second self-winding Seiko watch. I have had the first one for years and it has been dropped in water (water resistant) bashed into the side of the Kyak, gone snorkeling in the Cayman Islands and whatever could happen to it, it just keeps on tickin" but after ten years, it is not a "dress-up" watch, so I got a new one and this is even prettier than the first one. I love wearing it and still have a back up for rough duty!

After reading what someone else wrote about this watch I was expecting it to be large. But the face is just the right size for my petite wrist. I do need to size the band. I received the watch and was extremely pleased. It can be casual and dressy. I love it!

this is a beautiful watch. very delicate. great for day or evening. great purchase. not cheap looking at all!!!!

I bought this watch for my wife about 15 months ago. It stopped working a month ago so we took it to a Seiko dealer for repair. He told us that Seiko stopped making this watch over 10 years ago and is a Seiko knock-off and comes into this country on the grey market. Basically this watch wasn't worth what it would cost to repair so we'll be buying the next watch from a local dealer, not online. Beware!

I have had experience with SEIKO products in the past and have been completely satisfied. I ordered this watch for my wife, received it in a timely manner but the watch looses an hour in 24 hours. What has happened to SEIKO watches??? I am in the process of returning it.

In the past I have had problems with watches that operate on batteries... this one is automatic and keeps precise time. It is a very pretty watch and it was a very wonderful Christmas gift from my husband.

Just received this watch. I set the date and time and couldn't wait to put it on. It is very pretty and the face is large enough for these 65 year old eyes to see! All my watches for the past 40 years or so have had gold bands. My skin has so much acid that it would just eat away the backside of the band. This stainless band should give me no problems. It has enough gold to match my wedding set and other rings . I am very very pleased and I got it at an excellent price! Mr. Watch delivered this within 6 days of my order.

a gift to give,....looks nice...a bit heavy...links removed at jewelers....time set...gift giving....well received...happy with purchase..

until the next day when the time & date needed to be reset, and the next day, and the next..

It's a nice watch if you don't take it off. If you remove it for any length of time over???..limit uncertain, maybe 12 hours? Your back resetting time/date all over again.

I wish I knew it's limitations before I purchased it, I would have looked elsewhere.

A Seiko caliber 7S26 series movement is larger than the diameter of this watch case! These "little ladies" watches use Seiko caliber 4207 or 4206 movements and before that 4205 etc. Amazon's staff are just idiots that couldn't write a decent soup can label, and it's getting worse and worse!
