Amazon.com Product Description
Known as the Black Monster, this 21-jewel, automatic watch winds itself with the motion of your wrist, so you'll never need to change the battery. It has a stainless steel case and features a black dial with three-hand function, easy-to-read bar markers, and an English/Spanish day/date window at the three o'clock position. Additional features include a screw-down case and crown, a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal, and a one-way rotating bezel that safely keeps track of elapsed time. With its Lumibrite hands, markers, and bezel, this watch is easy to read in both light and dark conditions. The watch secures to a comfortable, extra-long, pressure-vented rubber strap that fastens with a buckle closure. Designed for diving, this watch is water-tested to 200 meters. It meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving.
Customer Reviews
Great Diver!
The newer Monsters, late 2007 production, are much more accurate because of the 7S26 "B" movement. It took sometime time to break in, but after a few weeks it's running + or - 5 seconds per 24 hrs. That's ROLEX type performance.
Do yourself a favor tho. Buy it on the bracelet instead of the rubber strap, it way more comfortable. The "waves" on the rubber strap tend to uncomfortably dig into the wrist.
I like it no matter what anyone else says
I am very pleased with it. I accept that a mechanic/kinetic will lose a little time weekly, so what? It is rugged, comfortable and I can read it at the bottom of a mineshaft at midnight. I recommend it for those people tired of replacing batteries.
Seiko "Black Monster"
I am very pleased with this watch. I am still evaluatig its accuracy. When I first received it it ran abut 4-5 sec slow/day. Then for no appearent reason it started to run 10 sec. slow/24 hrs. I am now running a week time period and after 2 days it ils runnilng slightly fast. Perhaps it is still breaking in or it is evaluating my activity rate. Maybe I should put it on a watch winder for consistancy, but, that would not be a real world evaluation. Even at worst case it is still in the 10 +or- sec/day per its specifictions.
If you want a good solid reliable watch, and can dive 200 meters, even if you never do. It has my highest recommendation
