    Read so many glowing reviews of the OM, I had to order one. This is my first Seiko, and so far, so good. After wearing the watch for several hours, here's my early review...

    PROS

    -Good balance, not too heavy, not too light. Just feels right on the wrist.
    -Comfortable bracelet
    -Looks
    -Lume

    CONS

    -Wish the dial and case were slightly larger, maybe 44mm or so.
    -Light squeak from clasp

    Regardless, I'm extremely pleased, especially considering the price. I'm sure it'll see plenty of wrist time.

    Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the history of the computer industry for the past decade as a massive effort to keep up with Apple.

    Just put my OM on a rubber strap, and since we don't have an OM pictures in this thread yet I'll add it in:
