 They don't make them like they use to! December 24, 2008

I purchased this watch Jan 06. It was first returned for repair in Jun 07. Second time Nov 08. Third time Dec 08. It stops, and then when it does run, it runs at an accelerated pace. I have a similar watch purchased approximately thirty year ago that has been repaired once, the reason I bought a new one, and once repaired runs fine. Buy this watch only if you think a watch should last less than three years, and can tolerate sending it in repeatedly to Conserv for repair during those three years. After three years you are out of luck. The warranty does not start again for any length of time after each repair. One star is the lowest I can enter, it deserves none.
 Nice looking watch, but cannot keep accurate time November 17, 2008

Great looking watch, very sporty. Date is easily readable. The LumiBright Hands and markings are amazing in low light and in the dark, I have had this watch for 4 weeks now. I love the bulky rotating bezel, sturdy strap. I just love the feel of the watch, it definately has some weight, but it adds to perceived build quality. Everything seems sturdy. But none of this matters as the watch runs 10 min faster than usual. At first setting nothing is noticeable after a few days the watch will run 1-2 min fast, no big deal, but after a few more days the watch seems to run 10 min fast. This is because of the constant change in tempreature where I live. Right now in Toronto tempreature is about 0 to 5 degrees C, but in the morning the tempreature is colder and warmer by mid-day so this affects the mechanical movement and this watch tends to run fast.
Cant keep accurate time, in my situation, but it is superbly made, the weighty feel, illustrates quality workmanship. So my review for this watch is neutral.
Nice watch! November 1, 2008

I just received this watch so can't say anything about accuracy yet, but it looks nice with it's very sporty and cool looks. The case is solid and the rotating bezel is refreshingly easy to turn and the luminosity is very good. I like the strap but it could probably be of higher quality, but all in all the watch is good value for the $165 I paid for it.
Will write some more on accuracy after a couple of months.

I ordered this watch to replace my old Seiko Diver which gave over twenty years of great service. I was somewhat concerned when I noted "Malaysia" stamped on the back but decided to keep it based on my experience with Seiko products. The watch that I received is a dog. It loses or gains ten to fifteen minutes a day...one day it gained six hours. I have never returned an item from Amazon before but this one is shipping back Monday.

I bought this watch because of the waterproof aspect. I go swimming in the ocean, play in the sand, go cycling, and never take it off. The face is just the right size for my wrist, not too big or too small. and the black on black look is great.
I would rate this watch a 5 out of 5 but my watch gains 5 to 7 minutes a month. So every month, I have to adjust the time. You would think, that Seiko could have fixed the problem by now. Its a little annoying.
