Seiko Sportura Black Dial Black Leather Band Mens Watch

(SEE MY PHOTOS IN THE CUSTOMER IMAGES FOR THIS PRODUCT)First of all, this is a high quality watch. Seiko is a great brand and I have several of their watches and wall clocks. I have never regretted purchasing one of their products and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable watch. I have owned this watch for three weeks and worn it nearly every day in that time. Here is my review:Pros:- Excellent quality case and sapphire crystal- Movement is quite precise- Face is easily readable (black with yellow is great)- Looks very nice in person- Chronograph feature performs well- Size is perfect for me as I have a large wristCons:- Sharp, pointy corners- Band is high quality calf leather, but the angle makes it uncomfortable for long wear- Comfort on this watch is a 3 out of 5 out of the boxAfter two weeks with this watch I was debating whether I wanted to return it for something else, mostly because it was very uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time (6+ hours). In fact, I did order several other Seiko watches to compare this one with (Amazon's free return policy on some watches is great). Ultimately every watch I tried on didn't compare to this watch in terms of likability. I wanted to like this watch because I felt it was the best quality watch available at this price.Looking at my options I decided to purchase a new band for it, and am I ever so happy I did. I went with a 20mm Nylon Loop - Striped Black / Grey Classic Military Style Watch Strap. It makes the watch more comfortable and adds a nice look to it. In addition to this watchband I also purchased a 20mm Premium Silicone Solid Black watchband. Both of these were from the Amazon marketplace retailer Clockwork Synergy. There are several color options available for these bands and they are both high quality.

I have a luxury watch for special events (weddings, funerals, etc.)I have a sports watch for physical activities (gym, yard work).I wanted a watch for everyday use. Somewhere between business casual & fitness while having ability to accent overall style and not be a focal point (Not a fan of GIANT watch faces, or BLING BLING). I didn’t need fancy alarm or chronograph features.Basically, watch is a luxury item; so I feel if I stick with a name brand it’s just about finding the style, and the style is what I will pay for. I didn’t want to spend more than a few hundred dollars. This one caught my eye so I took a chance.Watch arrived on time with Seiko box, manual & literature. I use the Seiko box (with included watch pillow) for storage. Nice.Watch looked better in person than in photo. Had some “heft” to it, which made me feel it was a quality product. Felt a little uncomfortable at first, but that’s the leather stretching to your wrist. Uncomfortable feeling went away after about a week (wearing every day). Feels good now (1.5 months later).Strap and clasp: The calfskin strap and buckle with prong are sturdy & nicely finished. Have worn every day for about 1.5 months & strap/clasp show little to no signs of wear.Operation : Watch keeps time wll. The stop watch feature functions well & is easy to operate. I haven’t used the alarm feature. The date has to be set upon initial set up & reset at end of months that don’t have 31 days. In the manual & not hard to do, so not a problem for me.Case: Case resists water pressure to 300 feet, is polished & doesn’t have a glare problem which is wonderful. Seiko website mentioned it’s made with some type of anti-glare glass. Smudges are visible against black tones. But not a big deal, at the end of day I wipe with microfiber cloth (same cleaning materials as for HDTV’s) & it’s good as new & ready for next day. I don’t know if they make anti-smudge materials. I am worried about scratches or scrapes, no physical impacts yet. Hopefully it does well.Design : Design is nice as the buttons are easy to operate & feel sturdy but do not interfere with wrist movement (once leather strap conforms to your wrist).Legibility : All hands are easy to read from all angles. Sizes of hands are good & this is enhanced with anti-glare glass. There is also an indigo feature on the tips of the hands the illuminates in low light. I didn’t know this was a feature but was pleasantly surprised. This was something I actually didn’t prefer on a watch. But it looks nice & is not too bright or overpowering. Nice surprise.Wearing comfort: The watch fits well around the wrist, case is not in the way, strap and clasp do not cause discomfort. Sometimes I forget I am wearing it.Movement: I don’t know much about mechanics of watches, so I can’t comment intelligently about the inner workings. I overcome this by sticking with name brands.Overall value: I am happy with purchase. Quality feel & materials. Good price. I feel if I clean & take care of watch it will last a while & retain sophisticated but still fun look. Great Value!!

Seiko's Sportura line are well made watches that are also very good looking. The movement is the 7T62, a tried and true Seiko movement that keeps near perfect time with chrono and alarm functions....... chrono measures up to 60 minutes in 1/5 second increments. I have an older model Seiko with the same movement that I purchased from Amazon 5 years ago, and it runs flawlessly............ even has the original battery in it. A few corrections on the features,the watch does have a Anti-glare sapphire crystal. It is also 42mm in size, and has a screw down crown and back. I typically prefer a 40 or 41mm size (small to average wrist size), but the watch is fairly thin, and doesn't look out of place size wise at all. I will say as one reviewer stated, in certain light the metal squares at the hour locations behind the numbers are very reflective. They have a small luminous square painted on the top of them, but the sides are cut at an angle and are shiney in certain light. All the pictures of the watch are "flat" and do not show this reflection. I love the look of the watch, but I can see how that might turn some off. The fit and finish is first rate, and the watch looks expensive and classy. The look is very close to a Movado that was advertised by a famous NY baseball player a while back, and this Seiko has that look and functionality at a fraction of the price. I can't see paying $1,500 for a quartz watch that has no, or minimal quality improvements over all the $500 retail Swiss(and Seiko)watches out there. If you want a very high quality watch, step up and pay $5,000 and get a nice automatic. All in all, at the price Amazon has this going for now, it's a no brainer in my opinion if you've wanted a watch of this style.

Je possède cette montre depuis plusieurs années toujours avec le même plaisir.Design et qualité du mouvement rien à redire.Il faut pourtant indiquer ce qui explique les 4 étoiles qu'au premier changement de pile le joint était complètement foutu, pourtant bien qu'étanche je ne la mouille pas, et que le bracelet cuir à tendance à s'avachir. (la montre est peu portée).Livraison bien emballée RAS
