Getting a new watch....

[So]

I'm looking at this seiko.... they have a price that is $160 less than any offline retailer, so I wanted to know what experiences others have with them (any reviews? Reseller ratings gave no love).

Bump for the night crowd.

$187.50 for the SNA139 (*not* listed as SNA139P though) at WatchZone. I think shipping is pretty cheap too.

I purchased two watches for the wife from WZ for CHristmas (about $200 or so total, saving about $150 compared to department store/mall). Free membership usually drops the price more, but does not for this model. As far as I can tell, I haven't been contacted (e-mail/otherwise) by WZ as a result of my membership.

Excellent, thank you.... you had a good experience with their shipping time and no trouble with the watched you got?

Yeah, they're selling it for 30% off at retail here, but that's still $60 more (+tax) than online.

Both watches (for my wife) are doing fine.

The day I placed the order online, I got a call from WZ to verify my credit card. First time I had to do that for a $300 order. Once everything was verified, I think they shipped the watches that day. Come to think of it, overnight shipping was like $10. If you have to pay for shipping, overnight for $10 is very hard to beat in my book!

I found WZ via Froogle when I searched on the model number of the watch. WZ was listed on ResellerRatings, but no reviews had been posted at the time. It also looks like I never went back and posted my positive feedback.

Chronograph is a great store - they are professional, friendly, and pack the watches beautifully. That is a handsome chronograph, and I can even forgive its quartz-ness, because mechanical chronos are very expensive. I have one 7T32-powered Seiko chrono (the 7T32 is, as I recall, the marginally inferior half-brother of the 7T62), and it is a nice, versatile watch. You may be a little startled by the light weight of titanium, though - I am not crazy about it for that reason, but some folks like the lightness.

EDIT: I have never dealt with Watchzone, but it appears to be out of the watch business - it forwards you to something called Scentopia.net, which seems to be a vendor of nothing but perfumes.
