Congrats! Wondering when someone was going to post "my" watch. I had an earlier Seiko dive watch that I liked and was a battery version. Battery died and took it to a quickie battery replacement place instead of sending it to Seiko. Well, the "o" ring was pinched and I wound up with a mini aquarium. My wife bought me the "automatic" version for our anniversary. No battery to replace. I love that it's easy to read at a glance and VERY easy to read at night. Also the day/date is terrific! The only problem I have is that it tends to run fast. How about yours? Also, my original band was a rubber dive band and it broke. I replaced it with a Seiko metal band that has a clasp that looks great and works well to....one handed operation. If I get the chance I'll post. Cheers
