ASTRON(アストロン)Seiko SBXC119 [ASTRON NEXTER GPS Solar Men's Metal Band] Men's Watch Shipped from Japan Oct 2022 Model

This particular model isn’t sold in any Seiko retailer that I could find near me, and for the online stores, they’re being sold at higher prices, and some in used condition. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was not only new but at such a good price. After ordering the watch, the tracking information did not update for almost a week, perhaps due to preparation of the watch for delivery (maybe charging it under light so the battery is full before shipping?). However once fedex received the watch in Japan it was delivered to me in less than 2 days.First and foremost, the watch is absolutely stunning. The sapphire crystal is so clear it looks as if there isn’t anything there at all; your eyes look directly at the watch face in all its beauty, no glare or reflection from light, no matter the angle. The movement of the hands is impressive when changing time zones or switching the subdial and main dial times. I also love the movement of the second hand when indicating how many satellites the watch is acquiring. The automatic daylights savings time is a game changer. I have a Citizen gps watch that must have DST settings manually set for EACH time zone the watch is set to. The black watch face with blue subdials is simply gorgeous. The watch looks and feels luxurious. The titanium band is super lightweight and the micro adjustment on the fly from the band clasp is amazing. I must say that the gps signal receiving is not as fast as Citizen, but the automatic dst adjustment is worth the difference in speed. I travel a lot for work and this time piece is the perfect accessory for the avid traveler. Seiko did not disappoint.

Perhaps the most accurate and easiest to read watch around. I don't know why this isn't sold in the US. A lot of watches with multiple dials are difficult to read the time. Not so this one. Seiko came up with a color scheme that allows for easy to read time and dials. That cannot be said for some of the earlier versions of the Astron. Setting the watch initially involved going outside on the patio and pressing a button. A minute later it had found enough satellites to set the time correctly.An amazing timepiece that should last for many years.

非常に美しい時計です、見ていて飽きの来ないデザインです。私の腕では、コマを落とさず使用しており、5ミリ延長部分で調整しています。大きさはもう一回り大きければ尚良かったのですが。非常に軽く仕上げてありますが、質感の無さに感じるのは、バンドの肉厚の無さと細さが寂しく感じます、ここは原料カットでコストに反映するのかと感じます。チタンは生チタンで、鍛造や合金で無い為非常に柔らかく傷が付きやすいモノで、ステンレスより柔らかいモノです、軽さと耐食性以外スチールに劣ります。時計性能は、ほぼ最高かと感じます。全体的なコストパフォーマンスは標準点ジャストで、ここをメーカーも目指していたのでしょう。日本製はいいじゃなく、価格に見合ったモノで、それ以上でも以下でもない。そんな勉強が出来た買い物でした。
