Quick specs:

i'm decidedly underwhelmed by the look.

i mean, price for solar on bracelet sounds pretty good. but visually they all seem to be bland to me (and i don't need two triangles on my bezel, thank you).

Looks nice. Very clean and simple. Solar is a plus to to me, but at 41mm a little small. Thanks Terry.

That's damn cheap. Which Seiko models use the VS37?

Quite like the one on rubber, but really don't like this trend going on with the crowns.

Sounds, and looks like a lot of watch for the price Terry !

Really like
the different looks that are available marker wise. The horizontal version
really catches the eye.

Also like that vintage style strap that evidently comes with the watches.

Really nice Terry ! THX !

The price is nice, but unfortunately it does nothing for me.

The line through the hour marker makes it look like the hour marker is a crooked triangle.

I've long wondered how and what movements Seiko sells to the market.

they are boring and the "you got email" pip looks like shit. not to mention the ice cream cone 12 hour marker and shitty logo.

also why did they engrave into the case on the sides??? that shit is dumb
