Amazon.com Product Description
This impressive, features-packed pilot's watch from Seiko is a sophisticated blend of function and style. The solid steel case and bracelet highlight a round blue dial with luminous hands and markers, a red sweep seconds hand, and a date display at the three o'clock hour. Three chronograph subdials register up to 60 minutes of elapsed time in 1/10 second increments. The dial is capped with a highly scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal and framed by a matching blue bi-directional rotating bezel with a rotary compass and a slide rule for rapid calculations and conversions, including multiplication, division, speed, distance, fuel consumption rate, and fuel conversions. Other notable features of this watch include precise quartz movement and a screw-down locking crown. This Seiko watch is rated water resistant to 100 meters. 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.

 Very good for the $$ June 30, 2006
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
Beautiful blue dial. Fit and finish on par with some $300+ watches I've owned. The crown screws in - not such a good feature for this watch, since the crown is fairly small. The bottom dial records hours and minutes elapsed. The silver hands can be a bit hard to see in bright light - too many reflections. The lume is very good easy to read thru the night.
Overall, one of my favorite watches, with exceptional quality and good looks.
 Looks good, but some things are deceiving... December 27, 2007

I purchased this watch 6 months ago. At first glance, it looks fantastic. The functions are great. Here's the problem, Seiko uses the thinnest and cheapest spring bar on the market. The spring bar is the metal bar that holds the bracelet to the watch case. I learned this from a very reputable jeweler in my area who serviced the watch. In 4 months, I had to replace them 3 times because they would bend and the bracelet would come loose. Because of this very reason, the jeweler I consulted stated that he used to carry them because they looked great and were a good seller, but he got tired of the constant warranty service he had to perform for this very reason. For the money, there are other watches with stronger components and the same features and for possibly less money. I replaced this watch with one from Casio and have been very pleased.
 Seiko Chrono Review - Great Buy February 17, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I lost my much loved MOMO Chrono going through Atlanta/Hartsfield airport security on a recent trip. After that, I needed a new chromo that was both functional and good loooking. I found this watch online and bought it in January '07. The watch exceeds my expectations and is great. It appears much more expensive than it is and it receives compliments. All functions work perfectly. If your after a great chrono and can't bring yourself to part with $2K for a TAG, buy this one.

Great casual watch November 28, 2006

I'm really happy with this watch. It met all my expectations. The working slide-rule will come in handy if I'm ever marooned on a desert island and I need to inventory my coconuts, berries and firewood supplies, etc... (I'm obviously not an aviator and if I were I would probably use something other than my watch to do flight associated calculations). None the less it looks very cool and is a solid timepiece.

Great Watch with a Better Price... April 9, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Terrific time piece for less than 100 bucks. Looks on par with watches much more expensive. Works better too. Easy to set and operate. The chrono-watch is much thinner than the other SEIKO dive watches, better for dress shirts. The only hang up is the large seconds hand (no movement unless in timing/distance measurement mode). Granted it is a Tachymeter watch. Only in timer measurement mode will it tick along with the 1/20th of a second top chrono-dial. There is probably a mode that stops the 1/20th dial, but I could not find it in the manual. Overall, great watch, looks good and keeps great time.
