About Seiko
In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Recognized for its technological excellence, Seiko has provided timekeeping services for the Olympic Games and the World Cup Soccer Championships. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design.

Rating : - Seiko creates a timepiece that is stylish, affordable, and versatile
I've had this watch for about two years now, and I don't think there has been a day since that it hasn't been on my wrist, mainly because it is so versatile. I wear it with jeans/t-shirt outfits as well as my most expensive suits.

The watch is very stylish, and the quality, looks, and features are what you would typically find on watches in the $300-$400 range. As evidenced in the picture, the watch is a classic black-faced chronograph. There is also a nice, red second hand that counts off the seconds when the chronograph is activated.

The timekeeping has been excellent, and I am still on the original battery. The documentation that came with the watch was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a decent-quality case (though I wear mine so frequently that I don't bother storing it). I haven't mastered the slide-rule calculator, but there is the capacity to do some rather advanced mathematical calculations.

It is quite possible that you will need to have a link removed to get the watch to fit properly. All of this depends on the size of your wrist, obviously, but even if an adjustment is required, it will not cost much to have it done by any jeweler. Of course, if you have the time, tools, and inclination, you can do this yourself.

If you're looking for a high-quality, accurate, and stylish timepiece at a great price, it's tough to do much better than this one.
