Perfect size for a dress watch (wrist size 15.5cm) with high accuracy quartz movement. The dial texture is just amazing and love how minimal it is with just the Seiko branding only. High Quality thin glossy croc watch strap.
The only gripe I have is the black onyx on the tip of the crown that's about it. Only wish all other Seiko watches is made this good at this price range, sadly this is not the case.

This Citizen Exceed is a stunning, beautiful watch. The watch's face size is larger than the average woman's, making it easy to read. If you think looking at the image of a photo is beautiful, you would be surprised to see it in person, "glamorous and inviting." The watch is Made in Japan. Solar power keeps ticking day and night without worrisome battery life. In addition, it has global Atomic radio control receiver that adjusts accurately and automatically every day where you are. I paid over US$800-ish, and it is worth the penny. The only modification I did for this watch was to change to a white and rose gold band. Now, it is lovely and breathtaking. Trust Citizen, you won't regret it.

I've been enjoying the watch I purchased for the past 7 months, and it has been nothing short of fantastic.
First off, I must commend the seller for their impeccable service and hassle-free shipping. The watch arrived swiftly, and the entire process was a breeze. I truly appreciate the seamless experience from start to finish.

I didn't become aware of this watch until recently, and really liked the specs and reviews of it.
Very happy with the one I received from Sakura Watches.
I used the JJY Emulator app, and it took less than 5 minutes to set the time. It's a keeper!
Excellent experience with Sakura Watches and Citizen.

My first purchase from Sakura, and I found their communications top notch. I had the watch in my hands about 10 days after ordering using DHL for shipping.
The PMV65-2271 is a JDM cult classic!
Still not available state-side, there are a few variations using the same module but none of them are in this smaller diameter case with the sapphire crystal and the on the fly adjustable clasp. 13 years after its launch, this is still a very impressive piece of tech packing a ton of "stuff" into its (relatively) normal sized case. The short lug to lug also allows it to be comfortably worn on slimmer wrists and not look out of place, especially since the pilot watch genre tend to be larger overall anyway.

First: Fantastic service from Sakura Watches! Shipment took about a week, but the processing through DHL was expedient. Now: The SBTM 333 is a fantastic model, w/ titanium/sapphire/solar/radio sync in a black aesthetic. After having received it, it's become evident that it's the watch I plan to wear almost exclusively for the next decade with how comfortable/durable/practical it is. The only thing that's not perfection itself would be the micro-adjusts on the clasp. There's only 2 micro-adjust positions (though, to be fair, the clasp is a tad smaller) which may not be a preference for some. Other than that, the black is professional, the watch face is incredibly legible, the titanium is light, the sapphire scratch resistant, the whole thing is accurate to the second (even in the USA) every day (listening for the broadcast of the atomic time in your region), and I look forward to seeing the longevity of the solar battery in this unit!

This watch is just exceptional. The dial, the finishing. This is as close as it gets to a Grand Seiko in terms of quality. Since the dial is inspired by the green hemp leaf asanoha, the choice of the color was easy. Can't recommend this watch enough.

Many thanks to Kota for correcting my initial selection of the 10450696 combi bracelet (this code fits to the G-5600 / 5610 series) which wouldn't fit to my GW-5000U-1JF, also sourced from Sakura Watches. The right code is the 10440758 which fit perfectly.
Kota responded politely and timely my question and also sourced the right bracelet which was shown unavailable at the time.
Many thanks for this excellent experience

Bought this watch for my brother as a gift. It arrived quickly to California well packaged. The watch was in perfect condition with everything on the dial lining up including the seconds hand hitting each marker. The watch looks amazing and my brother is extremely happy with it. The rubber strap that is included is comfortable for him. The bezel action is not too firm and has nice soft clicks but still firm enough that it won’t get accidentally moved. One of the best things about this watch is the size. It’s perfect for anyone with a smaller wrist. Overall this is a great watch that I like and recommend for anyone else.

I have only had it for a couple weeks, but so far I can say with confidence: this is the best watch I own. The sunburst effect is striking and the Tough Solar works like a charm. The included tool to remove the links in the bracelet is quite convenient and definitely gives this the easiest-to-adjust stock bracelet I've worn, although the bracelet is a bit jangly and I swap it out often for leather straps. The 40mm case is quite conveniently sized even for my small-ish wrist (~16.5cm / 6.5in) and feels light and unobtrusive on my wrist while still catching the eye. The lume works well enough, the backlight is great, and the digital display is quite legible in most conditions although is a bit difficult to read under fluorescent light. The hands hit the mark quite well, and I'm particularly happy that the second hand hits the indices placed every 5 minutes. The Multiband 6 reception is a little spotty, but I'm in northern New England which is technically out of range for the WWVB broadcast regardless. Therefore, this isn't a disappointment to me but I can't attest to how reliable it is within range of a transmitter.
I'm very glad I purchased from Sakura Watches rather than buying off Amazon, so I could be confident I was receiving a new and authentic JDM product. Paying a little extra for that peace of mind and waiting a little longer for shipping was well worth it, and a brief delay in shipping caused by a holiday I hadn't been aware of when I purchased the watch was promptly addressed by their responsive customer support agent over email.
Overall a fantastic watch and a great purchase that I hope will last me many years to come!

Watch is great. Great fit for my 6.75 in wrist. Was a little nervous about purchasing from Japan and shipping to US, but after a week of waiting, finally got shipping notification and it was there the next day. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. Wish the watch was still be manufactured by Seiko, but hey, what are you going to do....

First time ordering direct from Japan. I was super impressed and thankful. Watch shipped within 48 hours. Was from Japan to Michigan in less than 6 days total. DHL was very good. It was packed well and with care. I’ll be getting my next watch here. As for the Seiko itself, it’s running +\- 1/2 seconds a days. Very very impressed so far. It’s gorgeous too! I’m very proud of it. Wears incredible on a nato, parachute strap, or silicone strap. Thank you very much for good service and good price.

Very fast delivery to the UK and the watch is perfect, exactly as described and very unique colour compare to the original red line you see with the same module.
Couldn't be happier and I will not hesitate to use Sakura in the future.
Thanks you 10/10

Excellent watch and great service provided by Sakura Watches. I chose this website because I trust them to deliver goods quickly and safely. Received my watch within 3 business days, and it is perfect.
I can't recommend this model highly enough. For those looking for something more quirky, but who can also appreciate high build quality quartz watches. This will certainly steal wrist time from other watches in my collection!

The watch arrived in 6 days to Nevada. Packing was fine. The GBD 200 is by far my favorite G-Shock, and I can’t imagine a more comfortable G-Shock band. The negative MiP display is perfect, and can be read from many angles. I bought this watch simply for the display and am not disappointed.

Just received my watch here in France, only 8 days after ordering from Japan, so excellent service!
Watch sits very well on my slender wrist and I love the simplicity of the design and clean finish.
Standard strap is not to my taste, so I will play around with a couple of other options. For now I've put it on a Junghans Max Bill milanese mesh bracelet, which I think suits it quite well.

Ho comprato i modelli: SBTR026 e SBTR029 entrambi molto belli. Sono arrivati in Italia con il corriere FedEx e per tutte e due ho pagato di tasse Euro 48,88. Per i due orologi con le spese di spedizione ho pagato ¥45.415 JPY in euro €303,07. In totale mi sono costati euro 351.95. Praticamente ogni orologio in totale viene cheeuro 176 euro. Arrivati in pochi giorni e tutto bene.
E' la prima volta che conpro qui e posso solo consigliarlo a tutti questo venditore. Ho notato dalla recensione di un altro italiano (forse ha scelto un altro corriere) che ha pagato di tasse per un solo orologio 56 euro. Appena sdoganato in Italia, FedEx mi ha mandato il messaggio con la cifra che dovevo prepare per le tasse e il loro servizio. Regolatevi voi se comprae un solo orologio o più contemporaneamente. Certo che conviene comprare per noi stranieri quando gli orologi come in questo caso sono scontati del 40%. Per i modelli venduti anche Italia che si trovano facilmente scontati del 20-25% non conviene.
Comunque felice di Sakurawatches.

It's my first time buying here and I can only recommend this seller to everyone. I noticed from the review of another Italian (perhaps he chose another courier) that he paid 56 euros in taxes for a single watch. As soon as I cleared customs in Italy, FedEx sent me the message with the amount I had to prepare for taxes and their service. It is up to you whether you buy just one watch or several at the same time. Of course it is better for us foreigners to buy when the watches, as in this case, are discounted by 40%. For models also sold in Italy which are easily found at a 20-25% discount, it is not worth it.
Anyway happy with Sakurawatches.

Wonderful watch. It is elegant and easy to use. I was looking for a resistant watch, as my previous ones were all scratched while taking care of my children (carefree adventurers), and this one respond to my needs. It is also very comfortable, allowing me to sleep or shower as if the watch was a part of me.
I'm very satisfied with this watch.
I also appreciated the services of the vendor, it was very professional and the watch arrived safely in its very well made packaging.
