The movements of the hands when switching between Chrono and Time modes never cease to amaze me. So far it appears to be keeping time really well and when your not using the watch for a prolonged period of time you can put it into Chrono mode to stop the second hand from moving to prolong battery life and let the internal computer keep time. <br />The blue dial looks great with casual or formal wear and I've have had multiple compliments about it. I was also told it looked original when I took it to a Local Tag Heuer Dealer to get my bracelet adjusted. <br />Amazon offered a great price as I would have had to pay about a thousand dollars more to get it locally. Considering it was significantly cheaper and didn't come with an international warranty like it would when buying from an authorized dealer; I wasn't too surprised when I found some flaws with the product. <br />The hands don't line up perfectly on the markers when you put the watch into Chrono mode ; the minute hand either sits slightly in front of the 12 o clock position or slightly behind despite multiple attempts at resetting the hands. The same was also the case with the watch mode marker which also shows the first digit of the date. Additionally the second hands don't always hit the second markers spot on as you would expect for a watch of this price. Having said, these are quite minor defects that one will only notice with close inspection. <br />The bracelet is also easily scratched much to my surprise considering the quality I was expecting from a watch of this price. <br />Hence, great care needs to be taken if your going to be using this watch for everyday wear. However, I was told superficial scratches can be polished out when you service your watch during a battery change. <br />So its not a bad product for the price but if your wanting perfection like a gift for a loved one; I would rather pay the full price and purchase it from a reputable dealer with an international guarantee because if your an overseas based buyer like myself, getting the watch sent back to the States for repair could be a real problem. Hope this helps ; purchase wisely. <br /> <br /> <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 The watch itself is an amazing piece of engineering.

I am quite picky and have never paid more than $50 for a watch. I am hard on them. I first looked at a Casio Eco-Drive. They did not have a nice sapphire crystal. <br /> <br />I finally came across the Seiko Dual Chronograph, SPC043. It had the blue face, sapphire crystal and metal band. I figured to give it a try. <br /> <br />I ordered it from Jomashop. It arrived five days earlier than thought and was well packaged. Bravo Jomashop. It has one of the concealed clasps. I am a big guy and the watch just fit out of the box. (I am trying to order another link, but Jomashop is not responding.) The watch has a nice weight and feels nice on the arm. It is quite nice looking. It works well and keeps time well. <br /> <br />Two issues. First, I really have to angle the watch face or tilt it so I can see the primary hands. With everything being blue or silver, the hands do not pop out very well. They blend in a bit. Second, the band is not very adjustable. The concealed clasp is very nice and works well, but there are no fine adjustments possible, at least that I have found. A link is a little less than 1/4". That is actually a lot. <br /> <br />That said, I really like the watch. I have gotten used to tilting the watch face to read the hands and I will find a link. I would rather it a little loose than too tight. Rating: 4 / 5 I have been looking for a nice watch for some time. I am quite picky and have never paid more than $50 for a watch. I am hard on them.

It is beatiful, I like it, but I hit the watch against the wall while I was walking and the watch got a little scratch on the bezel, not a big deal. This means that the bezel material is not hard enough to support impact, so if buy it, donot hit the wall. Rating: 4 / 5 I got this watch 3 weeks ago.

I really love Seiko watches & this one was an excellent deal for a Chronograph. <br />Although dial is much more darker than what is appears in the picture, still the chrome finish of the chronographs make the watch appear very classy & the Sapphire crystal keeps the watch scratch proof! <br /> Last but not the least the watch is 100 meters water resistant. What more would you want? If you are still hesitant on deciding to buy this watch or not...I would say "Go for It". Rating: 5 / 5 I am a big fan of Seiko.

The dial is a little darker than picture but I didn't find it hard to read at all. The dials are luminescent, which I hadn't expected, and the watch has a good weight to it. For the price, it is one of the classiest watches I have found. The stainless band has a nice contrast between brushed and polished and it looks refined instead of cheap. I bought it for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it! The band is a little big for his wrist but after removing a link, it will fit just fine.The sub-dials on the face are for minutes, seconds, and 1/5's of seconds. The bezel is easy to read and the instruction manual is very thorough in explaining how to use everything. The only problem was that it didn't work when it came and instead of fixing it or replacing the product, I was refunded my money. I'm a bit disappointed with the service but the product was absolutely beautiful and I will be purchasing another to replace the previous one!

Really great watch!!. This watch is not yet on Tag's website, since it was just released April 2008. Also, this is a new model for cjf2110.BA0594, the mentioned model will no longer be available. <br /> <br />The watch has transparent bottom, which is just beautiful. Compared to other Tag watched, this one has a dual coating (inside and outside of the silicon glass. So you cant even see reflection on the glass. It seems as if there is no glass. I did a lot of research, this one has day and day and the automatic model. If this one were to have perpetual calendar (auto date change according to month) it would cost over 7K so this is really a good deal. search for more pics on Google pictures and you see it in person. It is little heaver than an average watch. <br /> <br />I would say in this crunch time, if you can, buy from an authorized dealer so you have a peace of mind, if in case anything goes wrong. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 Bought this watch at 34% off 3600 value from an authorized dealer.
