I purchased the Seiko Chronograph model: SSB003 about four (4) months ago in Nov 2014 and wrote a brief review about it then. The stock metal bracelet is acceptable and comfortable to wear, but I prefer this watch on a leather strap. My Hirsch Liberty strap is pulling duty on the SSB003 and contrasts well with the silver dial. It's my 'poor man' Hamilton Khaki.
Casual Watch
I prefer this watch when I want to dress down and sip a cup a coffee at Starbucks and not bring attention to myself. While I could wear a G-Shock, sometimes it just doesn't suit the occasion. It's also convenient when I forgot to keep wound the Automatics and need a traditional Analog Dial watch. Ironically, I had a nice Armani AR585, but while it was exceptional was much too large and dwarfed my wrist. Had the Armani been about the size of the Seiko...it would have been a no-brainer and I would happily rock the Armani.
Flaws, but worth the price
The watch has its flaws...primarily it's very difficult to read in poorly lit areas. I would have preferred some luminescent materials on the hour markers and hands. But for the price I paid...this watch has been great and it's perfect size suits me well.
