Important Notes
This model is not discontinued by the manufacturer and remains available through select retailers. The product comes in original packaging measuring 5.1 x 4.1 x 3.4 inches and weighs 4.64 ounces. While water resistant to 30 meters, it should not be submerged in water or worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports. For warranty details, customers are directed to Seiko’s official support channels. The watch does not include a battery due to its automatic movement, which relies on wrist motion for power. Buyers should note the apparent discrepancy between the product title (men’s) and department listing (women’s), though the design and dimensions suggest unisex suitability.
