Stunning watch. You cannot go wrong with this buy. Fantastic materials, attractive dial, great value. Lume's a tad on the weaker side but it works.

If you're looking at this watch you've probably already seen YouTube reviews that are overwhelmingly complimentary. When I first started wearing watches in the 60s automatic watches were a common thing. I even had a Timex automatic. After the digital "revolution" the world came to think that mechanical watches were a boutique thing and should cost a lot of money -- and I have an automatic watch that cost a lot of money. It's lovely, but this watch is the kind of watch you wear and don't worry about. It has a common Seiko movement that has proven itself and digital machines produce a case that is of excellent quality. I replaced the NATO band with a leather rally strap and it's a good looking watch, comfortable to wear, and, frankly, as accurate as any other mechanical watch is likely to be. If you want spot-on accuracy buy a solar powered, quartz movement with radio sync to atomic clocks made by Casio, Citizen, and others. For the money, this is a perfect watch.

First the good things.1) The watch wears well. The shape of the lugs makes it feel like it's smaller than it is.2) The finish of the case is excellent.3) The face is easy to read (in daylight).4) The NATO-style strap is very high quality and fits my large wrists well.5)The titanium has a very nice warm tone to it and it makes the watch look much more expensive than it is.Now the not-so-good things.1) Boddery's description claims c3 lume but the copy I received does not have any lume or barely any lume at all. Neither face nor hands will glow.2) It is very difficult to set the date. the pull-out position for the crown/stem is vague. It takes a bit of fiddling to find the proper position to set the date. I have several NH35/36 movement powered watches and they do not have this problem. This may go away as the keyless-works wears in.3)The date window is small and hard to read. The face would look better without it. The date window is a minor complaint and someone else may not have an issue with it. This has more to do with the NH35 movement than the design of the watch. The NH35 is a workhorse of a movement and keeps the cost of the watch down.4)I also would have liked quick detach strap pins instead of the standard compression-style pins.Conclusion:Is the watch a good value? Yes, it is.Would I buy another Boddery watch? Probably.I'd like to see a version without a date complication.

Quite a surprise, "I like your watch band! that looks so comfortable.", since I wear my watch on the inside of my left wrist. Well, it is very comfortable.I wore Seiko automatic watches for years/decades, some with big links, some with small links, and every one of them pulled hair - a little "ouch", part of the price of wearing a watch, I thought. These nylon bands are soft, don't pull hair, and just feel so comfortable, I forget I have it on. Easily the most comfortable watch I've ever worn.Always liked the automatic / self winding watch, they've been accurate enough for me... a couple of seconds a week, here and there, but there's no winding, no batteries (EMP proof), nothing to suddenly STOP, like batteries (unless the main spring breaks, never had that happen), and the movement looks good. I got the white dial with the light tan band, which sort of blends into the color of my wrist. It has these 2 little oval rings to keep the end of the band laying flat - what a neat idea! The oval rings just fold flat to the end of the band, and keep it all nice and tidy. No more hooking & opening on something you inadvertently brush by, like a metal band does.I really like this watch, it looks like it'll last a long time - the last thing I expected was compliments on the band, I was just looking for a decent time piece, besides a stupid cell phone / Iphone! Always glad to leave that digital leash at home/work and just enjoy the company of my wife, without interruptions.

i use this as my everyday watch after i got tired of the 2 seconds it take me to read the time on my Seiko SRPD dive watch.the dial is super easy to read, with hour and minute numerals, very good looking from far and up close. at this price i think it is unbeatable. if you match it with a leather strap it has a very classy Hamilton look. (for 10th of the price).the only downside is the Lume - not very visible, but for me it is a plus since i use my phone for when it's dark anyway.IMPORTENT -in the first 48 hours it might be out of tune. this is normal for Seiko NH movements. keep it on you wrist and it will set itself to be in working range (+-20 sec/day)mine is at +3 sec a day and it very good for an automatic at that price.

I always wanted a automatic Seiko watch; so with that in mind, I bought this. It is suppose to have a Seiko movement inside (I have not opened the watch to confirm). While mine runs a little fast, it is light weight on my wrist. I replaced the band with a simple 22mm leather one, and once it warms up, I forget I'm even wearing the watch. The stand-by power is suppose to be 38 hours, mine is less having run down a couple times; but that's expected with a wind-up watch. Even a automatic.

This is a wonderful watch, it's solid and lovely to look at.It wears well and I've had no major issues with performance.Sadly the bad is that the lume is so weak it seems like it there is none at all.There IS lume but, again it's so weak it doesn't 'work'.For example, walking from outside (for several minutes) into a dark office building or even a MOVIE theater and you can't see any lume.IF you shine a REALLY bright flashlight on the face, you WILL see the lume but that's the only time I saw it to check if it was REALLY there.Otherwise the band is great, but the underside (where it buckles) can be a bit on the 'thick' side and I notice it when I type on a keyboard.
