I'm surprised you've had trouble. I have an 009 and 007 and never a problem. Set the time, shake 'em 20x, put on wrist, ready to go.

I prefer this to the current Seiko 009s. But there are some old Seikos that I really like

I have a seiko automatic that ive been wearing for 6 years now. Went through the plants and hunting/fishing. I've changed the bands 4 or 5 times.

On Amazon from seiko


I'd question the authenticity if you are getting it from Amazon. I don't know if they do it with mechanical productions, but when it comes to things like deodorant, shampoo, etc it is in the same containers, bottles, etc but the product sure as hell isn't the same quality.

I don't know what her blood type was, but watches just wouldn't work on my Mom.

Just physically disabled? Or mentally disabled as well? Either way you are fricking retarded.

Amazon is not your partner – start behaving accordingly. “Too many brands appear to believe that when Amazon Retail reaches out to buy product, somehow a partnership is being formed between your brand and Amazon. It is critical to realize that in fact, Amazon’s incentives rarely align with the incentives of your brand.” Amazon is committed to building a marketplace with the largest selection at the lowest prices. “While a brand may be attracted to the customer base of that marketplace, most brands need to protect their pricing. Hence, the Amazon channel can be a source of frustration once the brand’s products start selling on Amazon or through third-party sellers, well below MAP prices,” Thomson explains.


That's one of 5 Things Amazon Isn't Telling You.

They are not loyal to any brand. So what is stopping them to get products that is in a name branded package (from China) but doesn't have the same quality?

Selling it through 3rd party is likely a way to avoid any legal issues... Jackass.

Any chance you are getting them near strong magnets? I've heard that can kill some auto movements.

buy from a reputable dealer.

Walmart online sells seikos, but I promise you they are not the same.

Bought mine from Jomashop online
