Seiko Astron

The new Seiko Astron has been launched! Amazing watch! :D

I can't seem to find anything on the lug width though. Anyone knows the lug width and if it can be bought separately? From the pictures, i don't see any drilled lugs, so i guess strap changing will be via the "traditional" way.

Hi, all. Newbie here (first post). I think I got bitten by the Astron GPS bug. Any AD to recommend and what discount can I expect? Considering the SAST001 or SAST007.

Thank you.

Re: Seiko Astron

I believe it sets the time depending on which of the 37 time zones you are in. Haven't travelled since getting it though :)

Re: Seiko Astron

Yup. Other benefit is that since it calibrates with gps daily, time should be constantly accurate. (although who really bickers about a few seconds :-))

Re: Seiko Astron

anybody knows where is the time offset stored? in the watch or on the GPS? jakarta has been considering changing their time zone to GMT+8 ( from GMT +7). if that happen, are we able to update the changes if these offset info are pre-program in the watch?
