Seiko Women's SYMA06K Seiko 5 Automatic Black Dial Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch

I bought this for "grammy" (my mother) for Christmas. She has ONE good Bulova watch she's had since high school (60+ years ago, good watch) and a whole slug of cheap watches that use batteries. I got tired of ordering and replacing batteries all the time so I figured an automatic would be a good choice. She really likes the watch. After taking it out of the packaging, setting time, day and date, she wore it the rest of the day. She took it off at bedtime and put it on the next morning. Still running, still keeping time. It didn't run down overnight. The bracelet band is plenty long so I had to take 3 links out for her. Taking out links is very easy on this band, there's a little arrow that tells which way to push the link retaining hook. This band uses a "U" shaped hook instead of split pins or screws. Take the clasp spring-bar out and set it aside, so the band will lay flat. Place the band on a surface that won't scratch it (I used my desk blotter)and use a nail or VERY small screwdriver to push/pry the link retainer out. You have to take TWO of them out to remove ONE link and start with the links furthest from the clasp. There's a little fiddling/fussing to get the link to let go of it's neighbor but it's not hard, the first one I did let go all by itself, the second and third took a little jiggering around to get them separated. Don't use force, when you get it right they'll just fall apart. The watch looks very nice, has good illumination on the hands, the dial is easy to read. I got this for her for a "daily wear" watch and told her not to worry about beating it up or scratching it and just wear it. Now if I can just convince her to toss all those $10 battery powered watches ... She's very happy with it so far. I've never been disappointed with a Seiko. My tastes run more towards Citizen Eco-Drives and Orient (a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko) automatics but I've worn Seiko watches for many years. I hate changing and/or running out of batteries so I've switched away from battery powered quartz watches completely. It's been my experience that no matter how careful you are, or the jeweler is if you take it to a jeweler, repeatedly opening the case to change the battery will break the seal "O"-ring eventually and I've had jewelers do that and not tell me that my watch is no longer waterproof. (Yes, I know Eco-Drives run on a battery but it's charged by light and you don't have to open the case to replace it every so many years.) The watch looks very nice, seems to run well and operate correctly, and I can find no fault in it as of this writing. If that changes I'll come back and amend this review.

I like this brand seiko what i don't like it is not the same the way it was like the year 90's and early 2010 it is a little bit bigger before.This watch are small the calendar is much too smaller you can't see it in a quick glance you need to steard at it or need a flashlight to see it during a night time...it doesn't illuminate the numeral sign but the same design and since it was still automatic is impressive...

This watch is pretty but for my eyes I need a large face.

Loved, loved, loved this watch and originally gave it five stars because it is so great looking and it kept good time for about two months. At first, it stopped working overnight occasionally. And then, it stopped working every night. It is now stopping during the day within an hour of my having walked two miles. I am very disappointed that I have to go back to my twenty year old battery powered watch. I have never mistreated this watch and it has not been in water.

Estoy contentísima y complacida con este producto gracias , gracias Me qusta su color su marca todo en fiiin estoy satisfecha

Está bello pero es demasiado chiquito, nada que ver con el de la foto

Bought it for the wife - She loved it ! (Although the face watch is smaller then you might think.)

Belle présentation marque renommée mais a déconseiller la reserve de marche de 48 heures n'est pas au rendez-vous ,en réalité elle n'en possède pratiquement aucune aussitot quittée du poignet.

Diese Uhr hat wie sein Vorgänger (was das selbe Fabrikat war) auch nur 3 Jahre gehalten. Sie bleibt einfach immer stehen. Wir haben Sie dann zum Uhrmacher (mehr als nur zu einen) gebracht aber die haben alle nur abgewunken, wird teurer als die Uhr ist. Schade eigentlich.

Super cute! I am 40 years old and I bought a classic watch but with a twist. I usually wear lots of black clothes and seems to me to be stylish when dressed classic and rocker when used more informally. It is about 3 mm smaller than you think, that makes that reading is not as good as I thought. In fact, I can't read the date... but I'm happy with my new watch. Super lindo!! Tengo 40 años y me compré un reloj clásico pero con un twist. Suelo vestir mucha ropa negra y me parece que será elegante cuando me vista clásica y rocker cuando lo use más informalmente. Es unos 3 mm más pequeño de lo que piensas, eso hace que la lectura no sea tan buena como pensaba. De hecho, no llego a leer la fecha... pero estoy muy contenta con mi nuevo reloj.
