The SEIKO SRPG39 is superb Field Watch / Strap Monster!
Sold By: Watches Gala (Authorized Dealer)SEIKO 5 Sports, Field Specialist Style, SRPG39, MSRP: $295.00 but I got it for $206.05!Thickness: 13.2mm, Diameter: 39.4mm, Lug-to-lug: 48.1mm, Band is 20mm tapering to 18mm.Stainless Steel Casing, Calf Skin Black Leather Band, Curved Hardlex Crystal, and rear display case back.Driven by SEIKO's 4R36 Automatic movement with the Day and Date. Mine came with English and Spanish day options with Sunday displayed as RED.This SPRG39 came in the standard packaging consisting of Amazon Box, Black SEIKO Packaging Box, SEIKO Grey and White marbled cardboard display box. The watch was strapped around a very cushy black pillow, had the original SEIKO product tag attached and had the protective tape on the dial and back of the case.THESE ARE ORIGINAL PRODUCTS.I was pleasantly surprised to see that was a true SRPG39 as indicated by the "Made in Japan" label just on the left of the dial’s 6 o'clock position. The Japan made SRPG39 tend to have a higher build quality and are highly sought after compared to the similar SRPG39K1 or SRPG39J1 which are the same watch parts but made in Malaysia and lack the "Made in Japan" inscription on the dial. These tend to sell for a discount compared to the Japan models.The watch is gorgeous! At this price point just BUY IT! You will not be disappointed.The 39.4mm Case wears well for all wrists types. As pictured, I have an 8-inch wrist and it wears just fine. Not overwhelming on smaller wrists but it will not get lost on larger ones.The deep blue dial has applied gold color metal Arabic numbers for the hours and accompanying gold-colored hour and minute hands. The second hand is black with a red tip which does well for precision. The blue and gold colors complement in a STRIKING fashion. It's GORGEOUS! As the photo shows, the illumination on the hands is quite adequate for this style of watch.The black Calf Skinned strap has a nice semi-gloss to matte finish with almost a lizard textured pattern. It has white stitching accents near the lugs and at the tip of the band. The band is subtle and does not deter from the beautiful dial but helps to enhance the brushed stainless steel case and bezel. The strap size is the popular 20mm which means strap options will be plentiful. You can change the strap and change the attitude of the watch for any occasion.The watch is powered by SEIKO's famous 4R36 automatic movement which you can see from the display case back. It has a day and date complication along with a Hacking feature (The second hand stops as you are setting the watch. This aids in accuracy and is a MUST for classic Military Field Watches). Mine came with English and Spanish options for the day and Sunday displays in RED.The watch did not come with the warranty card from the seller, Watches Gala. It came with instructions on how to request one from the seller. This made me a bit nervous.I followed the instructions, which were to contact the seller through AMAZON to make the request. SAM replied within 24 hours and assured me that he can send it out to me via USPS within a few days. SEIKO requires their Authorized online vendors to fill out the warranty card and send it directly to the purchaser to prevent fraud. This made sense and SAM was a man of his word. I received my filled-out warranty card and all was right in the world.I absolutely trust Watches Gala as a seller and will buy future watches from them.They offer a genuine product, in new condition, at great prices with the assurance of timely and friendly customer service!The SEIKO SRPG39 gets 5 stars!Buy this for that special someone in your life!Watches Gala gets 5 stars!Friendly and Timely customer support. THE TRUST LEVEL is HIGH!I hope this review helps you make a decision on this watch and the vendor.-Be blessed in your travel through life.

Great watch for the price
Picked this up as my first mechanical watch and am very happy with it. Love the color of the dial with the gold numbers and accents, it really pops in the light. The accuracy is average, I'm finding it gains around +15 to +30 seconds a day, not bad for a mechanical movement at this price point. The strap is very stiff and uncomfortable out of the box. After a few days of use it did form to my wrist but is very bulky and stiff. I swapped the strap with a "BINLUN Nylon Silicone Watch Band" from Amazon and it is a night and day difference. Would highly recommend this watch but definitely swap out the strap.

Nice watch
A straight forward field watch in a unique navy and gold color. The watch has a lot of versatility based on strap selection. The watch gets 5 stars for what you get for the money, I'm deducting a star for packaging. This appears to have been a returned item as there was no protective film on any part of the watch, no product material (instruction booklet, etc...)...and it was shipped without packing material (a box in a box). The watch arrived fine but didn't feel like I was getting a new watch given the presentation was a little sloppy.I may have gotten lucky on this one's accuracy. I set it to my laptop about a week ago and it's lagging behind my laptop at around 5 seconds. Super impressed. I have a GMT watch with a Miyota 9075 hi beat GMT movement that would probably be a minute or 90 seconds fast during the same period of time, for more than twice the money.

Very nice looking watch-fun window on back
Very cool watch. My 27 yr old son loves it. The clear glass back lets you see the gears.

Accurate mechanism
The watch has 24 jewels which explains why it is so accurate. It is made in Japan. The watch features a hack function and can be wound mechanically along with its automatic winding. I set the watch on July 6 and it is 7 seconds fast 19 days later. The hands and hour luminescent marks are easily read at 5 in the morning. The hardlex crystal is domed and is holding up nicely with no scratches.

Not worth the money!!!!
My son saved his money to purchase this watch. We have had issues with it since we purchased it in Aug of 24. It does not keep time well and the glass is broken on the back. Seiko's customer service when purchasing off of Amazon is non existent. We now have a over $200 paperweight and a broken hearted 14 year old.

Great watch value
Incredible dial finish for the money, very easy to see the dial face and the larger hands make it easy to see the time in low light. Love the gold hour markers against the dark blue dial.
