Does the Seiko SSG009 need a battery?

No. A solar cell under the dial charges from light and powers the quartz movement, so there is no battery to replace.

How does radio sync work on this watch?

It receives time signals from atomic-clock transmitters and resets itself automatically. Reception is best near a window and can fail in areas far from a transmitter.

Is it safe to swim with the SSG009?

Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100m), which covers swimming and showering but not scuba diving.

The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, a Seiko presentation box and the instruction manual. Check the listing for any additional items.

How does the SSG009 compare with the Seiko Astron?

Both use radio sync and solar power. The Astron adds GPS signal reception for worldwide timekeeping and a higher-grade finish, while the Coutura keeps the core set-and-forget function in a simpler steel case.

What is the case size of the Coutura SSG009?

Seiko lists the Coutura SSG009 at roughly 44mm across, which wears large on smaller wrists. Try it on if you are used to watches under 40mm.
