★★★★★ Great watch

Translated by Google Great watch
I was at a loss with the new SBXB045 with dual time and day of the week and this chronograph. I don't need dual time or chronograph, but at first it was planned to be dual time because it is convenient to have a day of the week. However, as a result of comparing both in the actual store, I was worried, but decided on this chronograph by design. For the dual time, I liked the typeface of the city name of the bezel and the large second hand, but the upper right and left upper semicircles of the dial were too far apart, and it seemed like they were missing for a while. I also don't like the design of the arrow-shaped arrow. The chronograph had a perfect overall design of the dial, and it was better to compensate for the difference between the bezel and the second hand, and it was the chronograph that I wanted to put on my arm. I like this band design too. I wanted the day of the week, but there are other ways to check it, and I can't make up for it, so I chose the chronograph according to my design preference. I think it's better to make a firm decision after seeing the real thing. If you are confused by the above two, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help. It just happened that my purchase decision was just the design, and it was a really great watch. I am proud of Seiko in Japan that can develop such a wonderful watch. Sorry for the long sentence.

素晴らしい時計
デュアルタイム・曜日付きの新作SBXB045と、こちらのクロノグラフで最後まで迷いました。私にはデュアルタイムもクロノグラフも必要無いのですが、曜日はあると便利なので当初はデュアルタイムにする予定でした。しかし、実店舗で両方を見比べた結果、悩みましたがデザインでこちらのクロノグラフに決めました。デュアルタイムの方はベゼルの都市名の書体や大きい秒針が好みでしたが、文字盤の右上と左上の半円が離れ過ぎていて少し間の抜けたように見えてしまいました。また、短針の矢印の形のデザインも好みではありません。クロノグラフの方は文字盤の全体的なデザインが完璧にまとまっていて、ベゼルや秒針の差を補って余りある程良く、自分の腕に付けたいのは完全にクロノグラフの方でした。バンドのデザインもこちらの方が好みです。曜日は欲しかったですが他に確認する手段はありますし、デザインは他で補うことが出来ないのでデザインの好みでクロノグラフを選びました。やはり実物をしっかり見て決めた方がいいと思います。もし上記二つで迷っている方がいらしたら少しでも参考になれば幸いです。たまたまその時の私の購入の決め手がデザインだっただけで、どちらを選んでも本当に素晴らしい時計です。こんな素晴らしい時計を開発出来る日本のセイコーを誇りに思います。長文失礼致しました。

No error for one second, zero error. The completeness of making is outstanding. It ’s big, but it ’s very light. Moreover, no battery is required. Such a wrist watch is absolutely not available overseas, it is a really wonderful watch that is hard to scratch. I will use it carefully as a lifetime thing.

日本でしか作れない素晴らしい腕時計
1秒も狂わない、誤差ゼロ。作り込みの完成度は抜群。大きいけどずば抜けて軽い。しかも電池いらず。海外でこんな腕時計絶対に手にはいりません、傷は付きづらく本当に素晴らし腕時計です。一生モノとして大切に使っていきます。

★★★★★ Luxury classy monster chronograph

Translated by Google Luxury classy monster chronograph
Twelve indexes are unique. If you look closely, you can see that very fine lines (grooves) are drawn. Reflects light with different brightness at the edges according to the movement of the arm. I think that it is calculated so that it shines elegantly. Depth and three-dimensional powerful design is cool. Astron's outer space is wonderful. Personally, I'm playing with a monster that is eating a chronograph, taking ceramic as a “chip” and index shape as “teeth”. “Astron Monster”, “Ceramic Monster”. My favorite watch. (I also like the fine hand movement that moves small once every 5 seconds of the long hand.)

Original Japanese review
高級上品なモンスタークロノグラフ
１２個のインデックスは独特の形。近くで見ると非常に緻密な線(溝)が引かれてるのが分かる。腕の動きに合わせてその縁と明度の異なる光を反射。上品に輝くように計算されているんだと思う。奥行きがあり立体的な迫力あるデザインがカッコイイ。アストロンの宇宙空間の表現は素晴らしい。個人的にセラミックが「くち」でインデックスの形状が「歯」であるともとらえてクロノグラフを食べているモンスターと見て遊んでいる。「アストロンモンスター」，「セラミックモンスター」。大好きな時計。(長針の5秒に1回ずつ小さく動いていく，細かい運針も気に入っている。)

I use it very much because it is lighter and easier to see than I thought, except the band fasteners are a little hard (is it unique?). But why is the second hand moving except for the stopwatch? I know it is used.

バンドの留め具が少し硬い（固有のものか？）以外思ったより軽く又見やすいので大変気に入って使用しています。ただ秒針がストップウォッチ以外動かないのは何故か？使用と分かっているが。

★★★★★ You can have a presence

Translated by Google You can have a presence
We purchased additionally from Rolex Submariner. The dial is large and has a presence than the submariner. The real thing is much better than looking at the picture. I was at a loss between titanium and stainless steel, but it was correct with 003 titanium. The belt is full of luxury. The submariner that has a light presence is going to the storage box ... Chrono is inevitable, but it is lonely that the second hand does not move. I will use it carefully.

Original Japanese review
存在感あっていいです
ロレックスサブマリーナから追加購入しました。文字盤が大きくサブマリーナよりも存在感ありありです。写真で見るより実物がずっと良いです。チタンとステンか迷いましたが、チタンの００３にして正解でした。ベルトも高級感溢れています。軽く存在感があってもうサブマリーナは保管箱行きか・・・クロノだから仕方ないですが、唯一秒針が動かないのが寂しいです。大切に使っていきます。

★★★★★ I use it like a play.

Translated by Google I use it like a play.
62 years old, I used to use GS (Spring Drive) for work and Super Runners for sports and work. Recently, I had more opportunities to travel with my wife and was looking for a playful watch. I like it very much and use it at work. It is very light for the size and fits your hand. Some point out that the dial is difficult to see, but Super Runners is sufficient for the sake of ease of viewing. This coolness is exceptional. Recently GS is dormant in the winding machine.

Original Japanese review
遊び感覚で使っています。
６２歳、これまで仕事の時はGS（スプリングドライブ）、スポーツや作業時はスーパーランナーズを使っていました。最近、家内と旅行する機会が増え、遊び感覚の時計を探していました。大変気に入って仕事でも使っています。大きさの割に非常に軽くて手にフィットします。文字盤が見づらいという指摘もありますが、見易さ追求ならスーパーランナーズで十分です。このカッコよさは格別です。最近GSはワインディングマシーンの中で休眠状態です。

If the second hand moves with this watch, it was five stars, but the small second hand is engraved exactly in units of one second, but why does the long hand not move? Did the designer want you to use it as a stopwatch?

Original Japanese review
残念です。
この時計で秒針が動けば、星五つでしたが、小秒針は正確に一秒単位で刻んでいるのに、なぜ長針は動かないのか？設計者はストップウオッチとして使って欲しかったのか？

★★★★★ First Chrono
Post date : Tuesday, May 28 2019


Translated by Google First Chrono
This is the first Chrono GPS. The titanium model is said to be lighter, but it still has its weight. However, since this is a feeling from the thinness of my wrist and the relatively light analog of the previous analog type, I think there are individual differences. As mentioned above, cautions for people with thin wrists? May be noticeable only around the wrist. Later, this may be the most important point, but the band adjustment was not perfect for me, and I adjusted it at the watch store many times. I think that it is better to check not only this watch but also the Chrono watch once and see if possible. I want to watch every day without any complaints. I do not know the performance aspect, but I think it is a high-performance watch.

Original Japanese review
初めてのクロノ
初めてのクロノGPSです。チタンモデルは軽くなってると云われてますが、やはり其なりの重さはありますね。ただ此は自身の手首の細さや以前のアナログ式の比較的軽い物からの感覚なので個人差はあると思いますが。上記の様に手首の細い人の注意点？は、手首辺りが時計ばかり目立ってしまうかも知れません。後、此が一番の注意点かもですが、バンド調整が自分にピッタリしなく何回も時計店で調整しました。この時計に限らずクロノの時計は一度は現物を見て、可能なら手に持たせてもらい確かめるのが良いと思います。時計じたいには何の不満もなく毎日使用しています。性能面の事は私には分かりませんが高性能な時計と思います。
