Seiko Men's SNAC41 Coutura Alarm Chronograph Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently received this watch as a gift and the giver wanted it to "last for years."From what I can tell, this watch will do just that.I've already worn it in a steamroom, swimming pool, and hot tub and the watch has endured my lackluster carpentry skills without a scratch or any signs of incorrect timekeeping.In fact, from the day I set it until now (three weeks later), the watch is still perfectly synchronized with the atomic clock time from the Internet.The sapphire face is awesome -- it gives all the dials a rotating shimmer when viewd from certain angles which looks really cool.I find the stopwatch incredibly easy to use and the alarm is pretty simple , as well, though you may need to review the instructions the first few times.The alarm is loud enough to wake me from sleep with no problem.The only drawback I've found is with setting the alarm.You pull the knob "one click" to set it and "two clicks" to synchronize the alarm dial with the real time.Sometimes, I inadvertently pull the knob out too far when trying to set the alarm and instead I mess up the time shown on the alarm dial (and concurrently fail to make the alarm go off).However, I'm getting used to it after only a few short weeks.The pictures don't do the watch justice -- the black metal is shiny (kind of like smooth black marble would be) and the band is the most comfortable I've ever had.It doesn't even feel like it's on.

In all, I'm so glad I got this watch!It's the best I've ever owned and one of the few analog watches (which look much more classy than digital) that offer both a stopwatch and an alarm.

Citizen Men's BL5180-57L Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The watch is great... it is full of features and above all it is a Citizen EcoDrive, which is a very important element here. EcoDrive has the ability to convert light to energy, therefore the watch never needs a battery. This function is very important since the watch is full of features and if it was not an Ecodrive then you might kill the battery in a 1 year.

Appearance:

The watch is very attractive, very elegant looking, and it is worth every dollar. the color of the dial however is completey different from the picture. In the picture the color of the dial is blue but the watch itself has a very dark gray or even a black dial. under very bright ligh (like sunlight) you might notice a little blue color in the dial but 90% of the time you are only going to recognize the color of the dial as a black or dark gray. Does is look bad? No, the watch looks very elegant and its color looks great.

The features:

Before you touch anything you MUST READ THE MANUAL. this watch is very complex. if you are looking for something that you can setup in 1 minute, put on, and start using right on arrivalthen you might want to look for a different watch, this watch is going to take some manual-reading and some understanding. The good thing is the watch actually comes with an INTER-ACTIVE CD that you can play on your computer and watch step by step instructions on how to setup and use the watch - very nice, i was impressed -.

alarm: the watch comes with an alarm feature which actually can be setup for am or pm. you can have the alarm wake you up at 6:00 am or at 6:00 pm, i think that is very impessive since i have used other analog watches that their alarm failed to offer am and pm settings.

Calander: might be the most impressive feature of all. you will never need to adjust the date at the end of the month using this watch. after you setup the watch for the first time, the watch will recoginze how many days are in the current month and will display the correct date based on that. also, the watch recoginzes leap years... great feature i think...

Local Time: this one is okay...when you switch to local time mode, the watch arms will move to the local time you seted up. however, if there are more than 4 hours difference then you might sit and watch your watch spin for a while, which is my case here ( 6 hours difference for local time) so local time is not so great for me.

Chronograph: great feature and offers the same great features as any other chronograph watch.

finally, the watch looks fantastic, loaded with features, unbeatable price on amazon. just remember, the first time you lay hands on your watch you are going to have to go through some reading and a thing called a Zero-Reset. also there is alot to learn and read inorder to use the watch correctly, otherwise, if you don't read the manual the watch may drive you crazy.

Final rating: 4.5 out of 5.0
