Horrible combination of colours.
The strap will be cheap and nasty.

I saw one of these in a jewellers in Cardiff and fell a little bit in love with it. With an anniversary coming up soon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.... It looks better in real life than in that picture. And it's a Seiko...can't go wrong really.

Maybe this helps....

They are a pukka supplier,but factor in customs duty as outside the EU. Delivery is 2-3 days max.

I’ve used them many times, no problems.

PS Im tempted myself!

Cheers guys.

The watch is currently £210 in John Lewis, so I'd go there rather than to Creation as it will work out much cheaper.

You want us to talk you out of buying a watch?
Hmmn,
Either you are being sarcastic & are seeking affirmation, or you've a humdinger of a delusional view of what this forum is.

The only time I'd try to talk someone out of a watch is when they're prioritising it over life's essentials (eating, a roof etc.)

Well it's not quite in Richard Mille ugliness territory, but it's not exactly handsome.

Fare enough I’d agree with that!

Went to buy one today, but John Lewis wouldn't price match a place I have found the watch for £195, so looks like I will be ordering from there.

It is far too busy! Eight different colours on the face is too much!

But it won't be rubbish, it's a Seiko and they are always good value for what they cost.

Reminds me of the "my first watch" you used to get as a kid with the red and blue strap.

I like Seiko but that dial is a mess

look at the fonts, there must be 4/5 different fonts being used. Even the fonts of the sub dials are different!

As mentioned the colours are clashing, you have red and then that weird orange-red.

Just looks really incoherent and unfinished to me. I know it's a cheapish watch but something like the SKX007 or Sportura is so much nicer
