Why we love this deal

There aren't many watch brands that have the reputation for rugged durability and great design like Seiko does. Seiko watches are on the wrists of people in every facet of society, from construction workers to billionaires. The brand has spent over a century perfecting its watchmaking to a point where it's hard to imagine anyone not wanting to own a Seiko. Now, you can be one of those lucky owners, thanks to an unbelievable deal at Walmart. It's selling a gorgeous Seiko watch at a big discount, and we think you should consider snapping this one up before it disappears.

The Seiko 5 Specialist Automatic Watch is available for only $245, which is 41% off the original price of $415. That's a hefty discount on one of the most robust and beautiful watches we've seen in a while.

Why do shoppers love it?

The more you read about this watch, the more impressed you'll be. On the surface, it's a great looking watch by any standard. While it's made from sturdy and rust-resistant 316L stainless steel, the case has an elegant gold-tone coating on it that gives it a refined and luxurious look. The black dial is accented with rounded hour markers and gilt finishing that matches the handset and the Seiko logo at the 12 o'clock position. Just below that sits Seiko's "5" logo, distinguishing this watch as part of the Seiko 5 lineup of multi-use timepieces.

On the right side of the dial there is a convenient day and date complication. This allows you to know exactly where you are in the month and year, even when you don't have your smartphone nearby. A leather-look polyurethane rubber strap is included with the watch. This strap is waterproof, which is a perfect choice, considering the watch's 100 meters of water resistance. That means you can feel totally safe swimming in the pool or the ocean and you won't have to worry about damaging your watch. It also has a uni-directional rotating dive bezel.

On the inside, the watch is powered by a Seiko automatic movement. This means that the watch stores power every time you move your wrist and then uses it to power the watch throughout the day. You'll never have to buy a battery for this watch, since the more you move, the longer it will work. Furthermore, the back of the case has a clear panel that allows you to see the inner workings of the movement. It's a truly exquisite way to finish the backside of a watch and allow everyone to see exactly what makes it work.
