Bought this watch, partially because it was 50m water resistant, having decided on a self-winding blue-dial Seiko 5 (usually 30m water). The dial is as expected (seller kindly sent me a live picture, so I knew it usually appears dark navy blue except in really bright light goes brighter blue). Watch itself looks and feels quality. Four minor niggles though:- 1) watch is gaining a few seconds every day, not disastrous but does mean I will need to correct maybe twice a month. 2) watch strap / bracelet doesn't 'fold flat' when you take it off, stays in a 'wrist' shape as each link only folds by around 25 degrees, takes four links to turn 90 degrees. 3) bracelet again, comes large enough for a sumo wrestler, and to re-size requires pushing out flat 'clips' that hold each link in place; this is not easy, a time consuming and stressful task, with plenty of opportunities to scratch the stainless links. (I didn't, but took an hour to adjust size, being remove four clips, remove two links, then replace two clips. NOTE: to keep the clasp central, remove one link from each side of bracelet. Look for the links with 'arrows'). 4) Bracelet / case. The lugs gap is very narrow, lugs themselves are wide and close together, and are specially designed to take this particular bracelet's narrow end projection. That does mean you can't change it (if damaged would need another from Seiko), or put a leather strap on this watch, it would be too wide to enter the lugs. That said, I don't intend to put a leather strap on a watch I bought to be water resistant! So, only item I may action is get the time-keeping adjusted if resetting time a couple of times a months proves aggravating. Niggles aside, very pleased with the watch, a quality product at a sensible price. Read full review
