I absolutely love it. The size and comfort on the wrist are perfect, and I can’t stop staring at it. Recommended!

You know, this is the first watch I’ve owned I didn’t immediately try on a strap. I actually have yet to put it on one, the bracelet is that good!

Forgive my ignorance, but I have a Sbga011 (pre rebranding snowflake). What is it you love about the bracelet.? Appreciate it's steel vs my titanium. Different appearance/construction. Just wondering what the newer bracelets have over the older style?

Beautiful dial BTW. I've not seen it look so light in photos before.

I have the sbga413 as well, and I think that bracelet is very similar, if not identical to, your snowflake. I like that one too (I don’t get all the fuss about seiko’s bracelets being bad, although I’ll concede it needs a micro adjustment), but this one is better.

Construction is very smooth/buttery, the clasp sits nicely into the bracelet, and it just hugs the wrist, my wrist anyway, so well. The watch head is quite top heavy, so I think the 22 -> 20 taper matches perfectly and helps it balance on my wrist. I do wish it had a microadjust - it’d be oyster level if it did. Also, I had to mess around with the links/“half” links for about 5 months until I got a fit I liked, but once I did, it’s been extremely comfortable.

Can not beat the accuracy of a 9F. Incredible engineering. Perfection!
