Seiko Astron Solar GPS Watch Review

During my travels over the last year or so, I have seen the Seiko Astron watch pop up a lot. As many know it is the name Seiko has offered to their new "Solar GPS" collection and is borrowed from the first event quartz watch released by Seiko in 1969. The Astron is especially popular in advertisements at airports, where various models in the collection are promoted to just the type of people Seiko is looking to attract with this high-end quartz satellite-controlled timepiece.
