It’s a beautiful watch and a steal for $400-$500. I’ve had killer luck with my SRPD and SRPE watches, perfect time and great QC. I’ve had much more expensive watches from Junghans and Hamilton and Tissot, but I keep coming back to Seiko.

Great review, Thanks! I’ll follow you to know more before buy my watches. 😊 👍

Uncle straps make a replacement clasp piece for this watch that gives an extra micro adjustment hole, does the job although it's a bit more rattle-y than the Seiko one

I was thinking about one of these for my next watch but noticed the lack of micro adjust on the clasp. Not so sure about it now.🤔

I could live with the bracelet and micro adjustments, but I can not stand the 24 hour dial on the right. It is so useless. And it is not this particular watch problem only. 😢

Good review. Seiko lost my business years ago. Their QC is atrocious.

Not that I am much of a chronograph person. The overall pricing and QC issues at Seiko have killed the brand for me. Still, this seems like a nice effort. Shame about the bracelet though.

Good

Shame they missed up on certain parts, Seiko drops the ball on many watches alas.

Why do people expect anything other than the substandard fayre Seiko have pumped out for the last 10 years? Especially where their woeful bracelets are concerned. It's because of this BS 'heritage' which is somehow supposed to be important. According to their pricing Seiko unbelievably believe they should be placed on the same level as Hamilton, Tissot or Christopher Ward... Seriously? They are absolutely nowhere near those stella brands. Seiko should be pricing themselves against AliExpress brands because that's where their quality and materials used places them.

Totally fails….fashion watch 24 hr. dial……….just worthless. Give me quality quartz with a 12 hr. dial & a 30 minute totalizer, NOT 60 minutes which is very hard to read even in light turbulence. Good review, Thanks
