I love the appearance of this watch.........BUT, do not purchase this watch unless you also purchase a winder!! I was spoiled by my Seiko kinetic. The kinetic ran like clockwork (pun intended)! Automatics must be continually wound through constant movement. Without realizing it you may lose 30 minutes at a time.......hours if you're not always wearing the watch. I have had to reset this watch more than any other watch I have ever owned. This is my last automatic!!!!! Appearance rates 10 stars......reliability.....zero!

a) Seiko Men's "SNKL40" Gold: I kept this watch because the hands are very esaily seen because of the contrasting colors bewteen the faceplate and hands. THe picture on the page shows more blue colors in the inter ring, mine is white.Other watches I ordered were the hands are almost the same color of the dial facelace.b) Seiko Men's (not sure) "SNKA24" 0r "SNKK98" Seiko 5 Automatic, I gave this watch to a watch maker hoping he can change the gold hands to black hands. The glod hand where very difficult to see in low light..c) I also ordered the Seiko Men's "SKA472" Kinetic, its great, the hands are sort of easy to read but kept it becuase of the Kinetic feature.So my purchase/returns review is:1) Seiko Men's SKA472 Kinetic: I liked the Kinetic feature and Price.2) Seiko Men's SNKL40 Gold: great contrast between the hands and dial face, the roman numbers look great.3) Seiko Men's SNKA24 Seiko 5 Automatic: If you can't get contrasting hands for this one, forget it.4) Stuhrling Original Men's 98.33351 Classic: Returned this because it was just to clunky, too large.

Long story short, Its perfect. I was searching for a gold watch to go with a newly acquired gold ring. This watch goes better with my ring than other watches that were in the $400s range. The kinetic feature is great and it keeps time at Seiko quality. Last thing, It was a pleasant surprise to see that the day indicators were in both English and Spanish (It may not matter for many, but Spanish is my first language and i thought it was pretty cool).
