Carnival Seiko-Movement Day-Date Automatic Watch, Steel Bracelet

The only watch in this shipment built around a Seiko movement. That is what you are paying the difference for.

Why It Stands Out

• Seiko automatic movement
• Day and date at 3, the complication you actually read
• Integrated sport case flowing straight into a solid steel bracelet
• Applied Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9 with baton markers between
• Highest landed cost of the twenty-six pieces in this order, and it shows in the hand

Fit and Wear

Integrated bracelet cases wear flatter and more securely than a strap watch, and this one sits tight to the wrist. The bracelet is the point, so we would leave it on. Black dial and steel is the easiest combination to wear in the whole line, which is why it costs the most.

Colin's Take

Movement matters more than anything else on a watch this side of $300. Everything else on this dial is nice. The movement is the reason.
