You know the drill now for Seiko. One of the world's biggest manufacturers, producing watches with their own in-house movements. Much cheaper than similar watches from Switzerland, but higher-priced and of better quality than their neighbours the Chinese. This model is no different. It's a Seiko made watch with an ever-reliable Seiko movement, that still comes in at less than ￡100. That includes a hardlex crystal, a toughened mineral glass that Seiko developed. And that's why Seiko is so popular. Not only is there a lot of cheap watches for the money, but the innovations are their own. My only gripe with this specific model is that I have a preference for chronographs that don't let the sub-dials cut into the numerals. But it's not jarring here and I can overlook it due to the success of the rest of the design.
