I purchased a Seiko SBTM 319 from Sakura and I’m delighted with it. The watch is fantastic and arrived well packaged in perfect condition. Start to finish it took about 3 weeks to arrive but was worth the wait. I had originally wanted the blue dial which turned out to be unavailable and that slowed things down a little. I went for the green dial in the end and I’m glad I did because it’s looks fantastic. Communication from Sakura was good throughout, keeping me up to date. I’d have no hesitation buying from them again… which no doubt I will!

I’m very pleased with both the watch and the customer service from Sakura Watches. The watch arrived quickly and was very well packaged.
The watch is extremely comfortable, and I really like the size in person. From the photos online, I expected it to be much bigger, but I was pleasantly surprised by the proportions once I received it. My wrist is 6.5 inches, and in person the watch does not look nearly as large as it appears in my photo. It fits my wrist very well.
Setup was also very easy using the JJY Emulator app. The day and date are easy to read, and the lume is quite good at night.
Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. I like the watch so much that I’m already thinking about buying the blue version as well.

Really, really happy with this. Looks great, keeps perfect time, no running out of charge. Also the glass is scratch proof and super clear.
Only negative, the bracelet doesn't open up as much as I'd like to take off. I'd like a bit more weight maybe.

My first HAQ watch. It's so light you'll forget you wear it.
Althouh people think of Citizen as a entry level watch maker, it's finish is absolutely sutting, I love this watch, and it has become my daily driver.
Thank you Sakura Watches, shipping was fast, communication was good. Happy to buy at your shop again.

The CASIO WAVE CEPTOR WVQ-M410-1AJF, A True Hidden Gem in the Casio World. GMT World Time, Tough Solar, MultiBand 6, Made in Japan, and at $80 on sale, it was a Steal! Not to mention it is a Beautiful Watch! Set up took about 15 min tops with a couple YouTube videos, so not hard at all to set up.

The watch arrived in pristine condition with all the protective covers, tags and manual booklet. The package was held at customs for a couple of days, but DHL did a great job in keeping me updated of the status through emails. I am delighted with the purchase experience. Great customer service.

I like this watch. For a G-Shock, it is lightweight. The color is neutral, and I like that as it seems to blend in rather than stand out. I wear it at work (hospital) and I like that I can see the hours, minutes, and seconds easily. I switched the strap out for an elastic one, so I can easily slide it up my arm when I have to wash my hands, which I have to do at work quite often.

I was debating between this and the polar field GMT (SBSC009). I settled on the HDB007J because the numerals are lumed - and yes, the lume treatment is luxurious. The no non-sense white dial has a powdered silver finish, so under under certain angles, it will adopt a light overcast grey that allows the white indices to really pop. Because of the cylindrical rotating bezel, the watch wears even bigger than the 48mm+ lug to lug. The folding under-elements of the clasp are also a bit long, so for people with small wrists like me, I had to remove one of the permanent links at the 6 o'clock end of the bracelet, on top of all the removable links at that end. The diamond knurling on the side of the bezel is polished, so it looks as if the side is encrusted with small crystals. This watch also features a display case that exhibits the 4R36 movement. I'm a fan of tool watches, and this field watch checks all the boxes.

I had an incredibly positive shopping experience when I purchased a watch from Sakura Watches. The actual process of making the purchase on the Sakura web site was smooth and I did not need any help in figuring out the purchase. Shipping took two weeks, but on the Sakura site they explained that there was a holiday period that would effectively suspend sipping for one week, so there were no complaints with the length of delivery. The item, a Citizen watch, was perfect and all paperwork was included. I paid a fair price for the exact watch I wanted, and after a month of ownership, I am even happier with my purchase. I did receive an invoice from FedEx for import duties about one week after the delivery. No post-purchase issues have come up, but based on my initial experience with Sakura, they will work to make sure I am satisfied. The overall experience was particularly good. Thank you, Sakura.

Great value for money. Metal bracelet not the best but alright considering the price. Changed it out for a leather band and now it's a very nice dress watch. Very lightweight and slim which makes it easily slide under every shirt. Overall the quality of the watch is very high considering the price.

I love the selection of the sakura watch website. I was unable to find this watch on my last trip. I am thankful I was able to buy in from a trusted website. The watch is beautiful and I love the detail of the broom at the IX. It was shipped very quickly and the packaging very secure. I would order from Sakura again.

It's been a couple of weeks with the watch. So far so good. Setting it up took a while with the app as in India (or anywhere except Japan) the watch won't get the radio signal. Make sure the phone speaker is closest to the 9 o'clock part of the watch.
Additionally, I would thank Sakurawatches for their timely packaging and prompt delivery!

The product was of excellent quality and fully matched the description provided on the website. Despite living in Italy, both the shipping process and customs duties were handled efficiently, within the expected timeframe, and exactly as outlined. I am very satisfied with my purchase and the overall experience.

I agree with everybody that this watch punches way above its weight. It's the perfect GADA watch, beautifully designed and executed. I'm wearing it on a black leather strap, and I love the elegant and toned-down look. It's a little smaller than the 40 mm/48 mm lug-to-lug watches I usually wear, but I think it works perfectly well for my 20 cm wrist; also, it's nice and slim thanks to the 90xx series movement. If I had one nit to pick, it's that it could be regulated a little better; mine runs at about +10 seconds per day. Maybe I'll give that a try myself.
I like it so much that I am seriously considering getting the blue dial as well, or the blacked-out NB1054.
Shipping from Sakura to Europe was nice and quick, and the communication and the handover to the local shipping company worked flawlessly, so that aspect was not stressful at all.

Everything that can be written about this watch has been. What I am able to add to the conversation is the service from Sakura Watches. The response time from Sakura was great, watch was well packaged and shipped quickly. Watch was brand new as expected. Totally happy with purchase.
