Hello! I was wondering if anyone has had this watch before and if so, what did you think about it. I cant really afford to waste money right now but id like to pick up a new addition for the arsenal. Id just like to hear what you all thought of it. Thank you again!

Here's the watch; Amazon.com: Seiko Men's SKA366 Stainless Steel Two-Tone Kinetic Dress Watch: Seiko: Watches

From picture I can see that the lugs are unusually thick and, as such, the watch will not allow changing straps. If you are OK with it, everything else seems fine (nice black/gold contrasts, kinetic movement, etc)

I will be brutally honest...It's gold plate, it will wear off.
It is a black plated watch, that will wear off, which will wear off first is unknown.
It will scratch and the SS will show thru....In a few years, you will have a very "tacky"
looking watch..Do you want to be known as that guy with the "tacky" looking watch?
Now, in SS only, nice watch and a different story...Gold and black ,NO.

Don't say you haven't been warned...

If I'm honest I would be inclined to give it a miss. Don't misunderstand me - the colours look great together. It's just that the gold and black are the most likely to show wear sooner rather than later.

I'd pass also. It will look beat up in the not too distant future and you will lose the pride you had in it new. Also, I'm not a kinetic fan. There are a number of threads on them here - some love 'em, some were very disappointed in them. I am in the latter group. really, why not just get a mechanical watch OR a quartz watch. In solid stainless steel.

Save your cash. This isn't an arrow worth adding to your quiver, imho.

No. The combination of the black IP coating and the gold plate, as well as hardlex doesn't sit well with me. Seiko make many great looking 2 tone alternatives. For example, for literally another $100, you could have sapphire glass, 6R15 automatic, see-through back, decent bracelet, etc etc...
