  Seiko Speedtimer, also known as Seiko Panda or Seitona! As the owner of this watch for a month now, I have to say that it is a stunning timepiece that doesn't go unnoticed. It is a chronograph with a date display and a solar quartz mechanism of very good accuracy. It is sturdy and well-made without being heavy or tiring on the wrist. One negative aspect is the bracelet, which is beautiful but not as high-quality as expected considering its price. It is UNACCEPTABLE for the bracelet to pull hairs at this cost.

  Additionally, the watch is quite small, with a 39mm case and 45mm lug to lug measurement. On a medium-sized wrist like mine, which is 17.5cm, it is borderline okay. Ideally, I would have preferred a case that is 2-3mm larger. If you take it and try removing the bracelet (which is difficult to do) and replace it with a leather strap, the watch stands out even more! The lume is quite satisfactory with a blue-green shade, and it naturally has a crystal-sapphire glass. Lastly, it is an iconic watch that may resemble the classic Rolex Daytona, but in reality, it is based on the Seiko Speedtimer from 1969. As for the value for money, mainly due to the relatively poor bracelet and the not-so-well-placed date on the dial, I consider it borderline okay considering that Seiko currently prices it around €670.

  EDIT: After half a year of daily use, everything mentioned above still holds true. Additionally, it is very resistant to shocks, and most importantly, it only gains 7 seconds per month! It takes 9 months for it to go a whole minute ahead! Excellent accuracy, miles ahead of an automatic watch, which usually gains or loses around 14 seconds per day!

  High-quality watch with a sapphire dial and milled clasp bracelet. Comfortable due to its small size (39mm), but for this reason, it may not look as good on someone with a larger wrist size.
