Review: Great watch with budget Price!! - I owned guess watch, Skagen, Timex and Kenneth Cole, All of them are Quartz Movement. This is my first time user for automatic watch and I really love it. Adjustment for watchband is quite tricky. You have to google with the word "How to adjust Seiko Watchband" to find out about that. Luckily, I also bought watch repair kit, It is not that hard process at all. Weight of the watch is not that heavy comparing with my 10-years old Guess watch, However, it is a bit heavier comparing with my Skagen. But you can't beat 5x.xx dollars for automatic watch, even if Warehouse price at costco!! Illuminated dial also a good feature, I would not ask for more from this price. (BTW, Price Tag in package is $185.-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the color of the dial?**
A: I looks black , but it's actually green, very dark green. It is a good watch I use it for work. I am a bridge carpenter, imagine lots of banging and tough handling, dirt and sweting, etc. Very good for the price.

**Q: Movement made in japan?**
A: Yes at that time. Presently don't know if they still using Japanese movement

**Q: How to shorten the strap?**
A: Go to a jeweler and lay $10. Some do it for free to get your business. You need the right tools and the experience and the coordination. I had non of these.

**Q: ¿Es verdad que incluye el idioma español en el indicador de día?**
A: Así es. La versión que recibí en Colombia viene con el indicador de fecha en inglés y en español, que se ajusta cada noche dependiendo de la opción que tú escojas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old School!
*by A***R on March 27, 2012*

This watch reminds me of a Vietnam-era Seiko stainless automatic I had several years ago, and it's a great deal for me just from that standpoint. This is a watch for folks who like "real" watches. It's about the most inexpensive way you can get into a new automatic. It's honestly heavy and clunky, the band catches on everything, and it's hell on the wrist when using a computer keyboard -- and that's all >good< stuff. The clear back is a joy. It doesn't keep as good time as a more expensive automatic or a cheap quartz, for that matter, but that's easily manageable. If I want to-the-second timings, I'll look at the app on my phone. This watch gets me to the office and to the kids' school stuff just fine. I only have one quibble that's not the watches' fault: I would have preferred a more waterproof (suitable for the pool and shower) over water "resistant" (confirmed by checking the codes on the back). Yeah, I'd buy another one. Probably will.
