Chic without being too pricey
By Sandy P
As I was buying goods for a new watch, I had a sure number of criteria in mind.
1. It will have to be affordable
2. It ought to be from a recognized brand (for quality purposes)
3. It must be stylish without being too fad-ish
4. It ought to be multi-purpose and lend itself to closely all
styles of dress, be it casual or formal.
I found all of this in this little Seiko watch. At first, I was setting my sights on a no-battery type of design, but after reading regarding both kinetic and solar watches…and finding out that both do require alternate of either a lithium ion battery or capacitor, neither of which were guaranteed to last longer than a regular battery operated watch…I decisive to stick with the regular quartz.
The watch itself looks better than it is picture. The dial is listed as white on the website, but it’s in truth a silver tone…similar to what you see on Rolex brands (which it’s supposed to mimic). The gold has a nice shine to it, with queer sparkle coming from the marked hours and the pie-cut bezel around the watch face. There is luminous material on the watch hands and hour markers, but a very minimal amount. My guess is that they didn’t want to detract from the shiny finish, but you do lose a lot of capacity to see the watch face at night. There’s sufficient to see the watch hands…just barely…but the hours are genuinely hard to make out in the dark. Oh well, if checking the time at night is a real issue then I suggest looking at a lot of Timex Indiglos. ***REVISION*** While it is hard to see the luminous hands and markers at first, they do get more magnificent once your eyes adjust to the dark. I found myself waking up early this morning and could distinctly see all the marked hours and hands of my watch face with no problems.
This watch likewise comes with a day and date calendar. Some have said it’s hard to work, but I in truth found it to be in truth easy. The instructions are very easy to follow and I had the calendar and time set up in regarding 2 minutes.
This watch is breathtakingly lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The catch opens without breaking any nails off and the band is very roomy. I have a medium to big sized wrist and wear my watch in a somewhat loose “bracelet” style, but I still had to get a couple of links taken out.
My verdict: a good watch at a good price. It goes with everything in my closet and is from a company that’s known for excellency and durablility. Five Stars!
P.S. When I wrote this view, the price was not the same as what it’s being sold for now. So my stance that it was very lowpriced was not untrue(as it was at the time).

Perfect watch for everyday
By Little Mom
Extremely reliable, easy to read, looks like the Rolex style, only it is very lightweight. Good for each and everyday use because you may wear either gold or silver jewelry with this watch. I would have given it 5 stars if it were one of those models which does not need a battery.
5/29/07 – This is an update. I give it 5 stars now. I got one of those models that does not need a battery and it is heavy and not sleek like this Seiko women’s watch. It is still my all-time favored watch and will never be without one.

I love my Seiko
By Jolene Corley
This is a great watch. I like that you may wear both silver and gold with it. I like the fact that it’s water proof but I still take it off to go in the shower or in the pool. It often gets mistaken for a Rolex!
