Summary: A $900 watch for $197
Comment: Wow! It's a nice a watch as I've ever worn. It has the heft, the look and the feel of something that's much more expensive. It's built like a bank vault and looks great on my wrist. It's heavy but I imagine I'll get used to it. Thanks Seiko for building an affordable super watch for the masses.

Summary: Save your money
Comment: Save your money on this one, friends. This is the third Seiko that I own right now (the second diver), and it is just like the other two--nice looking in the daytime, but if you want to read it during the night hours, you are going to need a flashlight. I was sincerely hoping this one would be different with all of the hype about the greatly improved luminescence, but it is not. The pictures of this watch's bright luminescence that are on the internet had to be taken right after the watch was exposed to a light source. It is not that bright otherwise. If you just want to wear it in the daytime, it is a great looking watch. If you want one you can read at night, buy a Luminox. I have two of those diver watches, and they remain bright all night long.

Summary: Big Black
Comment: Purchased this piece about a month ago and I must say I am quite pleased. The name the Black Monster may be a little extreme because it isn't a massive piece, and I'm a guy with fairly small wrists. I find the size just right. Don't know about the rubber band but unless you hate the metal band version go with it because it is quite comfortable and you can always purchase a rubber later.
Don't know about the accuray of it, but I'm fairly certain it's on par with the rest. Overall, it was a decent purchase even though living in Canada the shipping and Import charges added another eighty clams. Even high end watch collectors wouldn't be amiss to have this baby. Peace.

Summary: Outstanding value
Comment: I had an older Seiko watch that I loved but had to replace when the crystal cracked and battery ran down. I inquired how much to replace both and was disappointed to find that it would cost quite a bit and since the watch itself was under 100 bucks, I decided to pass and get a new watch. Christmas came along and I purchased a Relic watch and it was great, but I always felt like it was missing something, so when my relic band started falling apart after a year, I decided to get this watch. I had been looking at it for many months and I love it. Its heavy, but not too heavy, I actually like a heavy watch. The Lumibrite hands are amazing, super brite! I live in Florida and checked numerous stores for anything like this and came up short. I am very thrifty and would not spend over 200 bucks for a watch, so the price was right even though this watch looks like a much more expensive watch. I have owned it for a month now and still get excited everytime I put it on.

Summary: Great Dive Watch
Comment: This watch is solid as a rock and works great. It currently is my personal favorite and I wear it everyday. I get compliments on it all of the time. I recommend the Black Monster to anyone wanting to wear a serious time piece.
