Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I'm in healthcare and didn't want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It's a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it's an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can't think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that's worth.
Like some others I wasn't keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I'm loving the single pass strap on it!
Are you sure about Seiko? They use mineral glass Hardlex for a lot of models in entry and even some mid level watches.
