Title: Excellent timekeeper, great crystal, with one flaw ---
Review: I bought this watch 5 years ago, and it has run within a second or two per month of perfect time every since. The crystal resists scratches extremely well. The case and band look like new also when cleaned with soap and water. The clear window back is neat. The only problem is that these watches were until recently sold with a capacitor for power storage instead of a battery, and the capacitors fail after a few years and have to be replaced at a cost not far short of $100. The repair consists primarily of installing a rechargeable battery instead of the capacitor, and this should last longer -- I hope -- since I just paid for the repair. I think Seiko goofed, but the watch is great except for that problem, and the price relative to other high-quality watches is much lower, so it still is worth buying.
