 pilot-style par exellance July 29, 2008

I bought this watch to look good, work reliably, display Zulu time, show the day and date, function as a stopwatch occasionally, and once in a blue moon perform slide-rule calculations on the built in E6B. So far so good, it is a solid value. The programming of multiple time zones is simple and getting to the proper mode is never a problem. The mode buttons are large and handsome, and the SNJ017 feels well-made and looks as if care was taken to insure the metal surfaces are correct and the finish is consistent. The band has a solid look and feel as well, and the band latch works smoothly. Taking a link out of the band to suit your wrist requires a jewelers screwdriver to punch the pins out, and some instructions would have be nice, but even without instructions the task is something an owner can do without too much trouble. The watch is quite heavy, be aware of that if you prefer a lightweight watch. The competition for this product is the Citizen pilot watch, but the latter does not offer the nice digital functions this one does. Everything has its negatives and the one I would offer for this watch is fact it lacks electrical illumination. It has glow in the dark, so you won't miss that feature in most cases but it is unusual for a modern watch not to have electric lighting. I am pleased with this Seiko and pleased by JustCalculators whom I bought it from.
Typical Seiko Quality and Value May 30, 2008

I bought this after checking out other watches with the E6B calculator. I have high end watches (Omega, Rolex, etc.) but wanted a world timer that I would not be afraid to lose or get damaged. The watch is typical of SEIKO quality and value for all of their products. For the money, you just can't go wrong. I agree with other reviewers that a back light would be nice, but at this price point I don't think that it should prevent you from getting this watch. br / br /The instructions (while initially a little confusing) were clear enough to get the watch set properly and to use all of the timing and calendar functions. The separate E6B slide rule instructions were quite clear and easy to follow. br / br /One criticism (albeit a minor one) is that occasionally the "Alarm" chime on/off button will accidentally get pushed. So far this has not presented any problems. Accuracy is again up to Seiko quartz watch standards. br / br /The watch is definitely a looker, and while a few mm larger than my Omega GMT, is not cumbersome on the wrist. The stainless steel band is beefy, and well made. It is generously sized, and I had to remove two links in order for it to fit properly. br / br /The crystal is flat, and appears to be a mineral crystal coated with Seiko's coating for scratch resistance. The dial and hands are very legible, as well as all printing on the face as well as on the slide rule bezel. The rotating bezel is smooth, clearly marked, easy to rotate, and is a pleasing dark grey IP colour. It appears that in typical SEIKO fashion, the band is a 22mm size. I think the watch would look great on a Breitling style leather band. br / br /As another reviewer noted, the instructions do indicate a limited (seven year) typical life-span for the LCD displays. I suspect that SEIKO probably has understated the LCD life-span just to be conservative. br / br /As far as utility as a "pilots" watch, most flight decks are equipped with far more accurate clocks and systems for calculating fuel consumption, climb, etc. Therefore, this watch is what I would call a flight style watch with limited usefulness in todays aircraft. Most private pilots have a separate E6B circular slide rule for manual calculations that is far easier to read than that supplied on the bezel of this watch. br / br /I did not give this watch a 5 star rating, as the predicted battery life (according to the manual) is only two years, the limited life of the LCD display, and the fact that there are other watches in the $ 4,000 to $ 7,000 price range that very easily deserve a 4.5 or a 5.0 rating. However, in this price range, this watch cannot be beat. br / br /I recommend shopping aggressively for this watch, as there was a spread of sometimes around $ 200 from one e-tailer to the next. All-in-all, a great looking and accurate watch. Very highly recommended. br / br /Correction: The watch takes a 21 mm band (unusual) but will work OK with a 20 mm band. I recently put on an Ostrich band (21 mm) with SS deployant clasp, and it looks great. The Seiko SS band is a little overpowering for this watch, but it looks OK with it.
A NICE WATCH FOR THE PRICE April 23, 2008

I THINK ITS GOOD A WATCH FOR THE PRICE. THE WATCH FACE IS BIG AND I FIND THAT TO BE A GOOD THING. THE WATCH'S LINK IS ALSO NICE. NOT TO FLASHY OF WATCH AND GOES WITH EVERY DAY WEAR. VERY FUNCTIONAL. ALSO, LIKE THE COMBINATION OF A DIGITAL FACE WITH THE CLASSIC FLIGHT WATCH LOOK.
 Disappointed March 25, 2008

No back lights on the digits! No manual with the watch! Not very user friendly.
