SEIKO Diamonds Mother of Pearl Watch

The watch arrived nicely packaged. It’s a heavier watch than I am used to, but it looks very nice. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it until I got to actually see it. I was looking for this watch but with a black face. Unfortunately, they don’t make it with a black face. After it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. So, I decided I would keep it. This watch can be dressed up or worn with casual attire. I had to have one link removed as it was a little too large on my wrist. Some may like it loose for a more bracelet look and not remove any links. The watch also comes with some paperwork which provides you a link to register the watch which states Seiko will cover the watch for the first two years should something go wrong with the mechanisms. It looked easy enough on the site to register, I followed the instructions and the visuals which shows you where to locate the registration numbers required. Unfortunately, no matter what order I put the numbers in, or which box the directions reflected, I was unable to register the watch as it kept showing an error message. I guess I will have to call Seiko directly. That was very frustrating! Other than the watch, the registering site, is my only complaint.

The watch is awesome! Beautiful, easy to read and easy to set. It is keeping perfect time. I waited to review this because the actual Seiko watch box, was shipped in an envelope – not even a padded envelope -and the box arrived slightly crushed. The watch inside had a small velvet pillow insert upon which the watch was mounted inside the box so it was protected by the pillow. Since here was no visible damage to the watch and since I bought it for myself, the box it came in was less important to me than if I was giving this as a gift. That said, I hope these can be shipped in a more sturdy container in the future.

I’ve owned this watch over a year now. No complaints at all. Goes with everything from casual to dress and shows ‘0’ signs of wear after all this time. And no battery to go dead!

At first look, this appears to be a great product. I love the look and feel of it! I am sure there is a way to adjust the links in the band, but I haven’t found them yet. Also, when I received it, it was not keeping time. It had to have some light in order to start the watch. Because of that the calendar in the watch face was also wrong, so it took me a while to manually turn the calendar to the right date. I am not sure if the calendar is attuned to the month (with the correct length of days or not). Even if it isn’t, I am good with adjusting the date once a month if needed. To not have to change batteries is worth it so far.

I have not yet tried the water resistant feature. This will happen when I am outdoors, I am sure. But being water resistant always makes me cautious to not push my luck. I feel like it is just a bit of insurance, but not to be relied on too heavily. So here is hoping all will be well.
