I love this watch but the thing that really surprised me is the new strap. - It is by far the most comfortable strap on any watch I have ever worn. Seiko REALLY nailed it.

Unique and distinct case design with a nice lineage of watches in the same series, quality in house movement, professional specs, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, artistic dial, the best non-toxic lume, silky smooth rubber strap, a brand heritage that is known for its precision engineering, accuracy, and excellence - if only they could get their modern QC right and not f-up the bezel alignment (no sarcasm intended). Even the supposedly ‘made in Japan’ J models have such issues, so really need to purchase one physically in hand.

Yeah unfortunately. I guess thats why they are now using more reverse trapezoid instead of a reverse triangle on the bezel. Lol.

Movement is cheap but reliable and eventually you can replace it one day for 50€. Mine is - 10 seconds per day Defects are: bezel bit too hard, crown screw a bit scrapy.

I am very disappointed that my new King S ST Ocean is gaining 30 seconds per day. This is almost 4 minutes per week, so once a week I have to reset it. I find it unacceptable that such an expensive watch ($600) has such low quality control. Now, for the record, nobody uses them for diving nor bets their life on them thus. Every diver uses a diving computer.
