Excellent Reissue of Iconic Watch
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.
