This is my first automatic watch, and I'm very happy with it. I have worn it almost every waking hour since I've had it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, but it's a beautiful and affordable option for someone like me who is new to watches or thinking of starting a collection.I trust this will last me a long time, but now that I've got it on my wrist, I can't keep myself from shopping for my next watch (which will probably be another seiko).
