Men's Analog Solar Watch with Leather Strap SNE529P1

Sadly, my previous Seiko Kinetic died after many, many years of use. This Solar Powered replacement soon caught my eye and I looked no further. It looks classy enough to be worn not only with a suit but also with casual dress. Everything is co-ordinated so nicely without looking tacky or gaudy. I particularly like the large Emerald Green Face along with the Gold five minute markers and hands. The Stainless Steel Case compliments the Face perfectly, along with the tasteful calf leather brown strap. I note some reviewers have changed the strap but I see no reason to do so. I much prefer the strap to the bracelet.... No more wrist hair pinching! Solar Powered, although you'd never know it from looking at it. Apparently, the cells are hidden around the face behind the second markers..... All very clever IMHO! The only VERY minor minus points are; 1. The second hand does not quite line up with every second marker throughout a minute but you'd have to be pretty finicky to moan about this on a watch in this price range. 2. The 'SAT' (Saturday) marker is emerald green in colour and the 'SUN' (Sunday) marker is red and both are difficult to read against thr black background. Quite why Seiko didin't leave them white like the weekdays, I know not. Again, not a big issue as I soon learnt that, if it's Green, it's Saturday and Red, Sunday! 3. Non Luminous, so you cannot tell the time in the dark...... At All! Conclusion: A Seiko Quality Solar Powererd Watch, with a Sapphire Crystal Glass Face for this price..... You can't go wrong and as such, Highly Recommended!

Great looking watch, perfect accuracy, no batteries to worry about. Face appears black in most lights rather than the dark green in the adverts, but still a very beautiful and prestigious watch.

I've owned this watch about 4 months and these are the pros and cons I've found: Pros: - I love that it's solar powered. It works great and there will be no annoying battery changes - The watch looks good. The dial is attractive. They call it green but it can look green, brown or even dark grey depending on the light. And the strap is nice once it's worn in. I like that the watch is smart without being old-fashioned or too formal Cons: - The only con I've found is that the legibility isn't great. It's good in daylight or in normal artificial light. But in bright artificial light there are reflections from the crystal, the dial and the hands - and you have to adjust the angle to see the time. In dim light the hour and minute hands are completely invisible. This may all be normal for any dress watch with a shiny dial and hands. So it's a good choice if your priority is the look of the watch. But if legibility is a big concern for you, I would look for a different watch

Im a pretty skinny guy and this watch fit me perfectly 10/10

I think this may be the last Seiko solar watch I shall buy. Not, I must stress, because I'm in any way dissatisfied with the brand, but because these watches seem indestructible. I have three Seiko solar watches now; my first one purchased 22 years ago, is as accurate now as on its first day. It required a replacement battery during its first year, but that matter was handled seamlessly by the Seiko service centre within warrenty. Since then, just the odd strap bar has failed, and that's been with fairly vigorous use - mountain biking, swimming, power tools... This watch is beautifully presented, and looks less "sporty" than some styles. It's perfect for casual or formal wear. I needed to get a watch with a sapphire crystal face this time, and it's good to find such a feature in this price bracket. The leather strap is stylish and very comfortable. Will I live long enough to outlive this latest Seiko solar? I hope I do, but I won't offer bets on it.

Couldn't be more pleased. Looks good, keeps perfect time. I don't know how long the the battery will last with the current light charging. But after owning the watch for two weeks I'm more than happy.

The watch is excellent value for money. Looks good and comfortable to wear. Very accurate. After opening the box it took 2 days to fully charge the battery. This is normal according to Seiko.

Stunning, beautiful watch, I absolutely love it. I was a bit worried it might be too big, but it’s perfect. Worth noting that I have pretty slim wrists, but only just managed to fit using the longest eye on the strap. I think many people would find the strap too short.

Çok memnun kaldım, çok kaliteli ve şık bir saat

Meine zweite Armbanduhr überhaupt. Trug die letzen 32 Jahre KEINE. Nach langer Suche dieses Schmuckstück gefunde. Trage sie nun seit 2 Monaten jeden Tag und bin angetan. Sieht super aus, trägt sich spitze und geht natürlich sekundengenau.

Seiko dalla fattura eccezionale! Calibro solare di manifattura V158. Vetro zaffiro. Cassa in acciaio. WR 100m. Il daily watch perfetto, elegante, classico e robusto. I colori richiamano il Seiko Alpinist, in versione solare. Rivenditore "uhrenonline24" super affidabile. Consiglio l'acquisto di questo orologio!

A comfortable and attractive watch which is remarkable because it is so accurate. The solar power system eliminates regular battery replacement. I would buy it again.

デザインは非常に気にいっています。安っぽくないです。 ただ、これは個体差でしょうが秒針が指す位置が微妙に目盛りとズレていてちょっとガッカリしました。 しばらく使用してから気がついたのであきらめるかな。
