I just received this watch today after buying it brand new, in the box, on eBay for $220. Pictures don’t do this watch justice, definitely looks better in the metal. I’ve heard about Seiko lume being the best, and this watch almost blinds you! I didn’t care for the bracelet that came with it even before I bought it, so I’ve ordered both a better looking, better quality metal bracelet and a very different kind of NATO strap that goes well with this color. I watched most all of the KZitem videos regarding this watch, and appeared to me that some of the secondhand didn’t line up with the indexes very well. (It’s hard to tell because they usually don’t hold the watch square with the camera for very long.) At least on the one I bought, the second hand lines up perfectly with the indices as I had hoped, because I would have sent it back if they were very much out of sync.The bezel feels good to me, though this is my first dive watch. I’m looking forward to swimming laps with it tomorrow (I swim for 1/2 hr 3 mornings a week.) I am happy to add this Seiko solar to my collection! 😃

@@hanigharaibeh6002 It's not cheap nor necessarily "light" but it does leave a little to be desired. I own one of these and that's actually my ONLY complaint, the bracelet. Buy I simply don't like the aesthetics of the polished steel on it, and prefer brushed stainless steel. Fortunately the bracelets are super easy to swap and with the 20mm lugs there's tons of aftermarket options available! You can often find these for about $220 online (just watch for counterfeits). If bought from a reputable retailer I'd HIGHLY recommend it 👍👍

Tumb up for a very good review and presentation of those most important things that a potential buyers are interested in. In Europe, I can't find it below 300€ (around 330$) while importing from the States or elsewhere where the prices are lower, would entail vat and taxes, making it pointless to import. In any case, great to see it on your wrist too, but I have the impression that, although it is 44mm in diameter, the watch looks small on your hand. What is your wrist size? I'm thinking of buying one for me and my 7 inch wrist should be fine for 44mm I think. Also, I can't help myself asking, if you don't mind, what is that thing of patriotic watch that you've mentioned few times? Colours, red and blue or PADI reference? If colours, then its odd, since oh so many flags in the world proudly have these three too. Russia for example, UK, France to name the few. I love those colours on this watch though, I thing that it contributes to its overal apealing look and aesthetic. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Cheers
