Bought the watch from Amazon Sunday evening and it arrived on Thursday evening with the 5-day delivery service.I've had it for a few days and I am extremely happy with it.I also own a Rolex Submariner, Breitling Chronomat, Omega Seamaster Chrono, Citizen Nighthawk, and some assorted Casios and Timexes.This Seiko automatic watch ranks just a hair below the $2000+ Swiss watches, but for under $200, it's an unbelievable value.The quality and workmanship are excellent for a price in this range.For example, the second and minute hands line up exactly with the hash marks; when the second hand hits 12, the minute hand is algined precisely with the minute hash mark.Wow, I've seen $1000 Swiss quartz watches that don't do that.The assembly of all the components look top notch. The rotating bezel has a precision feel and the click-stops align exactly with the hash marks on the dial.The alphanumeric markings, Lumbrite markers, and hands appear of high quality. Seiko's cost savings is in the omission of hacking of the second hand, but slight backwards pressure does stop it for setting the time.Also, the black-on-white day and date although easy to read appears to be imprinted on cheapy white plastic.The bracelet has solid stainless steel links, but the weight and chrome finish are slightly on the budget side.The watch appears to run fast by about 1 second each day, which is pretty good for a mechanical watch since I had a Timex quartz with an analog face that ran fast by about the same increment.I love the orange face and chrome bezel with recessed, black painted numerals and hash marks.The watch supplied by Amazon came with a Seiko box, instructions and warranty and does not appear to be a gray market watch.I saw the watch for cheaper on eBay but they were coming from overseas, so I paid a few bucks more from Amazon located in the US.All in all, I am very satisfied with this Seiko watch and Amazon service.

About Seiko
In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design.
