Seiko Men's SND449P1 Two Tone Titanium Chronograph Watch

Very attractive dark blue and gold faced, slim profile, light weight Titanium Seiko. Arrived as detailed, well packaged with all the original documentation. Really competitively priced compared to other vendors. Highly recommended. Just be aware that the advertisement image shows a much lighter blue colour than the actual watch. Personally, I prefer the darker colour blue but this may be something that others could have an issue with.

This is a great looking lightweight watch that will impress anyone. If you avoid steel watches because of the weight then give this a try because it is a lot lighter than what it appears.Note that the titanium finish appears darker than in the photos and looks darker in natural light. In fact this is not similar to stainless steel watches in colour but look quite striking with the gold detailing and crown. The blue dial is quite dark and not bright blue as some sites portray it. The photos don't really give it full justice and I would give it a solid 5/5 for looks all day long.Not only is this watch gorgeous but it's also very lightweight due to the titanium. Furthermore it's not too large or too thick like some chunky watches on the market.As stated the appearance of the watch is amazing, but the practicality of the matte/satin finish may not make it suitable for daily rugged use. I scuffed the watch on the first day just around the bezel and it was quite noticeable. I wear the watch on my right hand and I have noticed scuffs around the clasp from using a computer mouse at work. Scuffs are of course expected from daily use but they tend to be more visible on this finish. I bought a pack of 3 x refinishing pads on Amazon (Green, Red & Grey ones) and found the grey pads are pretty good at buffing out light scratches; just be very gentle! As a side note you can also use the refinishing pads on brushed stainless steel watches to give your old watches a new lease of life. Bargain for just £3! Look on YouTube for tutorials using them for scratch removal.In my opinion there are two slightly annoying design floors on this watch. The first is the slight rattle/clinking sound the bracelet makes due the slight gaps between the links allowing the them to move side to side slightly. Not a big deal really but might annoy some more than others. The benefits to the gaps in the bracelet is that you don't trap hair between the links so easily so not all bad!The second issue is the poor ability to refine the fit, as there are only two possible configurations on the clasp via the spring-loaded bar. I seem to be between links at the moment so it's either too tight or too loose. This is definitely the most annoying design floor!The top dial measures 1/20th of a second and is activated when in stopwatch mode. The bottom dial measures minutes; again only in stopwatch mode but I admit it's hard to read the markers at they're tiny. The left dial is always active regardless of mode and is the seconds for the normal time function. Note that what appears to be the standard seconds hand is in fact only active in stopwatch mode. This is standard for most chronograph watches. Once you reset the stopwatch it returns to 12 as does the top and bottom dials.The markers illuminate in the dark, but just like most watches so they are not massively bright or long lasting. If you position your watch next to a bright source they will glow brighter and for a little longer.The date will need to be changed manually if the previous month doesn't have 31 days, but again this is normal unless you invest in a perpetual calendar watch.There is no alarm function on this watch and your battery can last up to 2 years depending on usage.

6months in and very pleased with the watch. Ti strap means you'll never want a heavy Stainless steel one again. Looks great too

Cool looking watching and not OTT prices

Seiko - just shows right all the time! Also nice to watch.

I really like the watch - I am pleased with the price that I paid for this nice product. Would reommend.
