soperdoperFor this price you can experiment with it. Check online for manually regulating a watch. These watches keep different time depending on how you treat them. They run faster whil you wear them and slower while you leave them on the desk. Mine was keeping average time at first. Then I magnetized it by accidentaly entering an MR Scanner operation room at work. Got a cheap demagnetizer and since then it almost keep perfect time. It looses 1 second every 2-3 days when I wear almost daily for about 6-10 hours a day.
soperdoperI had one of these for about a year and a half. Died. Sent it to Seiko to get a repair price. Seiko wanted over $100 to fix a $60 watch. I told them I didn't even want it back, but they sent it anyway. It's at the bottom of a box going to Goodwill now.
ExHackMaybe the made in japan one is better? I got the made in malaysia one i think. The weight pendulum (don't know the proper term :) ) got loose and wasn't winding the watch. I just recently tightened the screw holding the pendulum and now it's working again.
