The good: The dauphine hands are great, as is the texture under the hour markers. Its not evident in most photos, but the case is both polished and brushed, whereas other watches in this price range would be one or the other. The day indicator is bi-lingual. Mine alternates between English and Arabic and it sticks with whatever language you set it to. It goes Monday, Arabic, Tuesday, Arabic, etc and when it advances it skips over the alternate language. Applied hour markers are a nice touch. The bad: Movement is just okay. You can feel it grind as it winds. The crown is tiny and hard to adjust. The bracelet is hilariously cheap. The links are made from rolled metal and they didn't bother to seal the sides, so you can see each layer and the gaps between. I put it on an alligator strap and problem solved. All of these issues are common throughout the Seiko 5 lineup, so I expected them. At this price point they have to cut corners somewhere. Even with the cost of the strap, overall its a good value.Read full review

Stylish, well made, excellent bracelet, easily read dial. Would be an easy 5 if could be hand wound and flush to case adjuster easier to access.

Great watch. It’s 38 case is small and looks great. Very dressy. The bracelet is a bit heavy clunky and noisy but some people like that. Looks great outdoors or in the light when the light catches the dial. The crown to set the time is quite small and a bit hard to turn. Looks good on a leather strap

I've wanted a new everyday reliable watch and heard great things about the Seiko 5. I found this one and it was a reasonable price and free delivery, it was a very quick turnaround from ordering to delivery.

Its a watch that stands out! A magnificently stylish dial with a textured centre of soft vertical lines giving a velvet grey appearance in certain light. This is separated by a mid minute counter track which is surrounded by a bold black ring with Roman numeral markings at the evens & bar batons at the odds. The day/date matches the dial colour & its window is framed in silver to match the the outer track numbers & sword style hands. The finish is good! Don't forget this IS a sub $200 watch. As with all Seiko 5's, the bracelet is a cheap feeling hollow link & it rattles. I've replaced it with a burgundy red Ostrich strap that just makes the whole watch go BANG! I'm impressed!
