From video reviewers

The Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement with its sweeping seconds hand is a consistent strength. Reviewers noted issues with screw quality control and the caseback. There was disagreement on whether the 10 Bar water resistance was a significant weakness.

Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance.
