Excellent re-issue of an iconic watch, that improves on the original in a number of ways. The fact that this is solar powered means that you get quartz accuracy, but without the need to replace the battery. You get a few different bonuses, including (1) an alarm (2) dual time zone functionality, (3) day/date/year, and (4) a stopwatch. Along with 200m of water resistance, this watch is a very rugged all-purpose watch and excellent value for money by its own merits. The other reason you might buy this watch, is that it is a reissue of the model that Arnold Schwarzenegger wore in movies such as Commando and Predator. Normally I wouldn't all the watch 'stylish' per se, but rugged utilitarianism does have its own aesthetic appeal which is enhanced by the history of this piece. The rubber band is surprisingly comfortable (I have a lot of arm hair and have not had great experiences) and the lugs don't dig into your arm even though they protrude quite a bit. I've never measured my wrist, but the watch does sit comfortably without seeming excessive. I would say it probably wears fine unless you have a noticeably thin wrist. The 120-click bezel has a good feel to it, although that's only compared with other seikos. I would be willing to bet it doesn't stand up well to watches in the >$1k range, but then again it isn't supposed to. It really does have its own thing going on, and if you appreciate that then you'll appreciate this watch. Kind of hard to compare it against anything else out there.Read full review

I first bought my Arnie Seiko back in 1989. I still have my original Arnie, and this new one looks so much like the original watch .. my Arnie went up in value for sure . Great investment on the new one as well!! Looks awesome 👏.

When the first battery operated one came to market price was 460$us. It seems these solar one over priced. But they are very solid I used the first rivision into oil and gas mud bnever failed. I got tired of it sold it for 350$. The new one have much brighter LCD back up light. As strong as before
