Beautiful watch!, July 29, 2005
I am shocked at how cheap this watch is selling for now. I have one and paid $200 for it just last year. My local jewelry store sells it for $350! It is such a beautiful watch and the stainless steel band is pure quality--very heavy in weight, which I like. The picture does not do it justice. The blue face is lovely--not garish like other cheaper blue face watches.Go to a jewelry store, ask to see this watch and you will not believe the current Amazon price.

Seiko vs. Movado , November 6, 2005
The vast majority of people need a watch. For typical college students, we tend to scratch them and break them, and definitely don't have the money to replace them. Well, Christmas is fast approaching and here's some great gift ideas.
These two watches are a little bit expensive, but they will last for many years and are good quality watches.
The Seiko watch is a stainless steel watch with an icy blue face. The woven silver links make this watch perfect for the sophisticated woman. Because of these colors, this watch is ideal for wearing with any outfit. Not only does this product tell the time using Roman numerals, but it also shows the current date, which is very helpful. The Seiko watch has a scratch resistant face, made with Hardlex crystal and is water proof up to 100 meters. This product even has a 2-3 year battery life. This beautiful watch would seem much more expensive, but on Amazon.com, this watch is selling for only $95.00. This is a price that is hard to refuse.
The Movado watch is more costly, but is a very elegant watch. This watch has a beautiful black face with gold hands. This gorgeous face rests on a silver bracelet with gold tone accents. This watch is also scratch resistant with a sapphire crystal face. Unlike the Seiko watch, this watch is only 30 meter water resistant. This can only handle brief water splashings, and can not be worn when swimming. This watch is very elegant and probably would not be able to be worn everyday. This classy watch is $189.00 and is a very reasonable price for such a chic watch.
The Seiko watch does not have a very good warranty. The warranty is valid for three years, one year worldwide. However, this warranty does not cover much. It does NOT cover the battery, the watch bracelet, or the crystal. Basically according to Amazon.com, the warranty only covers a belt or strap that is attached to the watch. If anyone who is not a Seiko manufacturer works on this product, then the warranty becomes void.
The Movado watch is not even said to have a warranty. With such a high price, I had expected there to be warranty, unfortunately there is not. Movado wathces are well known all over the world and are recognized for the quality of their products.
I feel that the Seiko watch is a much better buy for a typical college student or any working female. The Movado watch appears to be used for special occasions, but the Seiko watch is much more practical. The Seiko watch is not as expensive, but expensive enough to know that you are getting a good product. It holds a warranty, not a very good one, but has a warranty that comes with it. The Seiko watch is a very good product and worth spending the money on it.

Quality and Style, October 10, 2005
After looking for quite a while for a watch that could be worn for both casual and work situations, I chose the Seiko SXD 395 for its clean lines, brushed stainless case and band, and the blue-grey face. I've see this model going on the internet for up to $325. Amazon had the lowest price, as well as a trusted name, so I knew that I would be getting a genuine Seiko with a warranty (which you don't always get when you get the lower price - watch out, some low-price sites don't tell you this.)
I also really like having the date window, just be sure you read the directions on how to set this, or the date will change at 12:00 noon instead of 12:00 midnight. Also, I feel very comfortable with the double-release clasp wristband, another plus.
