Thanks. It's easy to do, not expensive and it greatly improves the wearing experience

Hi. You're absolutely right, trying a watch is the best way to figure out if it fits. If not possible, I'd say the lug-to-lug distance is the most important mesurent (this khaki field mechanical on your wrist is a good exemple). Thickness and case design are also very important, in my opinion. I've had plenty watches from 36 to 44mm, witch make me think case diameter is not that important, after all.

Hi. Have you considered the possibility of owning a beater and an office watch?

If you really want to try the one watch collection, I might suggest the Orient Kamasu.

20 ATM, a sapphire crystal and a screw down crown make it more suitable for sporting activities than the SRPE. And Orient movements are at least as good as Seiko's. Plus it's under the 300$ budget.

Hi. How long does the battery last? The Eco-Drive fan I'm slowly becoming likes to think it's about 10 years but I don't have the necessary hindsight, yet.

It was worth trying 😅 Not always easy to pinpoint what we like about a watch. And even harder for someone else

Hi. For a go everywhere, do everything kind of watch and if you insist on buying a Seiko, I'd recommande the SRPE range. The 40 x 44 mm case fits most wrists and it can be dressed up or down. Plus it's not an SRPD pretending to be a diver but it retains this great dial.

Hi. Would a Baby-G be too big for her? If not, it might be a good idea to ask her what she thinks of it.
