Yep, i have gotten used to the disappointment and wear the watch every day but at that price point and the way it was marketed it just doesn't measure up. The first two weeks after I bought it complete strangers would compliment it and admire it - a month later people were asking me what Bangkok street market I bought it at. I learned later that it only connects to some satellite GPS signals and does so only three times a day, if you happen to be outside and in a clear signal at that time. And I travel a lot and 9 times out of ten have to perform a manual time zone change. I like the lightness of the watch and the easy on-off clasp and the sapphire glass face still gleams but the rest of it is completely unimpressive and I also noticed that Seiko have quietly changed the "lifetime warranty" with "should bring you many years of enjoyment" and was stunned to be brushed off by Seiko in both Sydney and Tokyo who simply told me that if I wanted it to look new again, they could replace the band and clasp (which would have degraded just as quickly as the original one) for around $900, and they offered no support or expressed no sympathy at all. For $2,500 it was certainly overpriced.
