Is Seiko going from solar power to conventional battery quartz because of cost?

No. Skim through the Seiko and Citizen watches sold on Amazon. You will notice that some newly released Seiko quartz models are solar-charged, while others are conventional battery powered. Citizen watches are still predominantly Eco-Drive, i.e. solar powered.

To those wondering...and some of you answering completely wrong including amazon...the diameter should be 28.4mm not 40mm which is insane?

Obviously the case is rectangular. I measure 27 mm wide by about 37 mm long lug-to-lug. It feels larger than I was expecting for my medium-sized wrist but not too large, although it might seem large for a small wrist depending the wearer's preference.

Less than 40mm. Specifically, it's 1"w & 1.25 " l

What is the band width?? Loo

1" where it connects to the case and 2/3" at the buckle

es fiable pero no enamora

llevo unos cuantos días con el reloj y en cuanto a precisión nada que decir, es un Seiko y va fenomenal. En cuanto al reloj se me hace un tanto simplón, demasiado fino y la correa bastante simple. He pagado 200 euros porque venía de USA y he pagado portes y aduana... En fin, me lo quedo porque el modelo me gusta y la foto no engaña

Perfect!

I wasn’t sure if buying a watch like this on Amazon would be legit, but I decided to risk it. I’m a bit of a “Seikopath”; It showed up in a real seiko box. And I was stunned when I opened it up it is such a beautiful piece. The band is not what I expected! It has more of a brown tinge to it, and the inside of the strap has a very nice soft leather meticulously sewn in. It’s very comfortable to wear. All around, you really can’t go wrong for the price. Purchased this for $227 with shipping included.
