Pros
- For an automatic watch with 21 jewels and an exhibition case back, it’s a budget-friendly watch, wherein you can get a bang for your buck with its versatility in function; ruggedness in construction; and simplistic aesthetic for matching with any outfit.
- Sufficient 40-hour power reserve
- Day of the week, date, hour, minute, and second functions
- Luminescent hands and markers
- It’s made with Hardlex crystal, Seiko’s trademark material they use for their dial windows that’s very much durable to resist scratches.
- Water resistance to 30 meters
Cons
- The luminescence for the seconds hand is placed on its tail instead of the pointer, so you may confuse the seconds for 30 minutes later.
- The strap isn’t too refined in construction. It tends to fray, which can make it uncomfortable to wear. But it can easily be fixed by burning them off through a few quick passes over a candle.
