It is Seiko proprietary and used on most of their watches. It's way better than average mineral crystal. Plenty of scratch tests etc out there to show it is quite good. Better than just about anything except for sapphire ofc.

Solid deal but keep in mind it is a 7S32 movement, so no hand winding or hacking.

The lowest price I could find in my research was $147 on Amazon and that's the lowest price it's been since before Nov. -- This is a low for Jomashop as well - it's been a while since they've had this model in a sale

I own this watch. Purchased it around 5 years ago. Looks great! I wore it for about two weeks and put it in a drawer because it couldn't keep time worth a darn. It would be off 5 or 10 minutes every 24 hours. Mine could have been a one off. I hope your experience is better.

These are "Made in Japan" models for those who care. Functionally the same, but historically they've cost more than Seiko's export models which are typically assembled in China or Malaysia and only boast Japan Movement. But the Japanese Yen is pretty low these days.

Was it running fast or slow? It could simply be magnetized. You could try demagnetizing it yourself with a $10 demagnetizer. Usually takes a few tries to get it right.

That's kinda the sieko thing. You get a 30 second a day variance commonly. But with some regulation time, you get it better. But every now and then, you just get one that is a mess and never really regulates well, magnetized or not. I'm wearing a nh35 now and it's about 2 seconds fast a day (after lots of regulation). But every so often I can get a weird 5 or 10 second off day. They just aren't rock solid steady like some other moments.

All quartz watches depend on a vibrating quartz crystal to count time. The quartz vibrates slower and faster depending on the temperature.

Most watches should not vary more than 5 seconds per day, otherwise, you got a lemon and need to exchange it or have it repaired.

It might be possible to adjust it if you can get a service manual and the module allows for this without a ton of extras.

Temperature + adjustments.

Let's say the watch is calibrated and adjusted at 25C, but then you're using it in a 30C environment all the time. Crystal will run at a different speed, affecting accuracy.

If the movement allows for fine tuning, you can adjust based on the typical temperature (the wrist temp) for better accuracy.

Otherwise, radio or gps watch....
