SEIKOMen's Essentials Japanese Quartz With Stainless Steel Strap, Silver (Model: SUR307)

I was lucky to snag this watch in "Used - Like New" condition for a much lower price around $120. Be sure to check other sellers and prices before pulling the trigger on the $200+ price tag.The watch appeared to be brand new and never worn with all original packaging and paperwork.The bracelet is actually decent in my opinion, hollow end links but it looks nice on wrist and easy enough to resize. This watch is pretty snazzy on the bracelet but I opted to dress it down for a more casual look with a brown leather nato strap and to me it's the chef's kiss. The silver dial and 20mm lug width gives you endless possibilities for changing straps.The dial is truly stunning in person, very expensive looking and paired with the sapphire crystal to ensure it stays looking nice. It's rare to find sapphire on a Seiko at this price point. The lume is very bright as well, making a nice pop of green even in the daytime in the right lighting as seen in my photo.If you can find this in the low $100 range it's a steal for such a versatile grab-and-go quartz watch that every collection needs!

I had a Seiko solar for almost 10 years (purchased from Amazon) and it began stopping for no apparent reason before restarting.Believing it needed a new capacitor, the local jeweler shipped it to Seiko for repair and was told that the repair was extensive and would cost $200, $10 more than the watch retailed for. I decided then to replace it with a simpler and nicely-discounted quartz watch and ordered the Seiko SUR307.Contrary to what a previous reviewer posted, I easily registered the watch on the Seiko USA site. Find the warranty page and follow the instructions (Amazon will not allow URLs).I bought my watch from Amazon, not a third party, and the watch is genuine, not fake as that reviewer claimed.The watch looks great, is very accurate, the 40mm dial sits well on a 7-inch wrist, and the sapphire crystal is a nice bonus.The metal bracelet looks good, though it can rattle a bit, and I have ordered some 20mm leather straps for a different look on occasion.All in all, I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

After going back and forth between several Seiko watches I decided on this one and couldn’t be happier . First impressions when unboxing was wow ….this looks far more expensive than I paid I must have got a fake ..nope registered it through Seiko and checked out . With this particular watch I believe you get a lot more for your money than the others I was looking at . With Seiko you don’t really see sapphire crystal with the lower end versions but with this one they used it and that alone makes it worth the money , it’s water resistant plenty enough for every day use , keeps perfect time (quartz) , and looks extremely sharp with anything you are trying to match with it . The only thing I wish it had was solar powered but you will pay a little extra for that and not hard to have the battery changed every couple of years . The lume on the hands and hour marks of course amazing being Seiko . Overall I am overly satisfied with what I received and what I paid , possibly will buy another in another color one of these days .

I absolutely love this watch! The dial is very light stainless steel with what they call “sunburst”. As it moves, the light reflecting off of it shifts, making it appear lighter than it actually is (this also confuses the camera in your phone lol). I’ve only had it about a week, but I set it when I received it and it is still exactly on time. I really enjoy the clean dial, that only tells me the date and time. The second hand pauses each second, so it’s not a smooth, continuous sweep. I included a pic of the lume, which Seiko is known for having excellent lume, and I am not disappointed this time either. It should be noted, the second hand doesn’t pause specifically on top of each marker. It’s very close, and I doubt any casual observer will stare at it as closely as I have. The bracelet has a little more side to side wiggle in it than other Seiko watches I own, but this particular watch comes in at a lower price point also. It does include a tool so you can remove links to size the bracelet yourself if you need to. I don’t worry about how water resistant it is, since I’ve never been out to dinner anywhere I’ve had to swim to. They make actual diving watches if that is what you’re looking for. All in all, I’d buy it again, and will probably be adding more of these in other dial colors for whatever occasion comes up.

It’s a stunning watch

My new favorite watch. I'd been looking for something with a bit of vintage Air King or Grand Seiko 9F look and this will definitely scratch that itch. Time keeping is perfect and the second hand hits the markers well. This watch is supremely comfortable and the bracelet was very easy to size myself. Yes, the bracelet rattles, but this is only noticeable when taking the watch on or off. On wrist, you're good to go.Sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance for under $150. Incredible. Plus it's made by probably the greatest watch maker on Earth. This is a strong candidate for the best value watch period.That dial. So clean and elegant. Mesmerizing. Looks like a four figure watch all day long.The presence of Lumibrite hands and indexes is welcome as is the very legible and framed date window. Makes for a very versatile everyday piece. It's certainly on the dressier side, but sporty enough to wear with most clothes. There are titanium versions of this same watch for a fair bit more money, but I don't know why you'd want those. It's already very light and stainless steel looks just looks better at this price.Final thought: just buy it and enjoy. I know a lot of people hate quartz watches, but this one just might change their minds!
