Seiko "Future Now" E

The Mako line is available in a variety of dial colors; Orient USA tells us that the blue-dialed Mako is their best selling watch. It's not hard to tell why: inexpensive, well made, functional, and quite legible. I rather like the '6/9/12' Arabics on the dial; very cool looking and a nice balance to the day and date at 3 o'clock.The new Mako dial switches to larger markers with a double-width polygon at 12 o'clock. Similarly, the hands have a more complex shape and are bevelled instead of flat. Which do you prefer?I have a 7.5" wrist, and slightly prefer the fit of the new Mako, though both work pretty well in my opinion.Timekeeping for both is basically identical, at within 20 seconds per day. These are well-made but mass produced movements, and will last for many years with a tuneup every 3-5 years.
