This is a great watch - well built, stylish, and functional. But make sure you click on the link for the seller (not Amazon) and read their reviews. Mostly happy customers but a number of the reviews talk about them sending product that in some cases is "not quite" new. My watch appears new and works fine, but the packaging (Seiko box) was old, beat up, taped shut, and didn't look like the one made for this watch. That's why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. Makes you wonder if they are selling repairs or seconds. If I had bought it as a gift I'd be unhappy with the packaging. But it was for me, so at this point I'm ok given the good deal on the price.
