Anyway... my "review" in point form.

Pros:
- It's a Seiko and a Seiko 5
- It' affordable
- It's an automatic with the robust/reliable 7s36 movement though not the most accurate. Mine goes +15sec average daily.
- It's got a display case back and although its not a decorated movement, it's still interesting to see the inside moving parts.
- Despite the smorgasbord of markings on the dial, its very legible and being Seiko, lume's great. The SNZG17 even have lume numerals.
- 42mm case size is a good size for a sports watch. Not too big and not too small. It's also pretty thin so it slides under the cuff nicely.
- Classic function over form military style which doesn't go out of style.
- If you're bored... can play with straps. The design goes well with everything from bracelet to leather to nylon to nato
- It's also discontinued. Seiko replaced it with a more hipster looking funky color models though with 4r36 that handwinds and hacks

Cons:
- It's a Seiko and a Seiko 5
- Rotor winding sound quite loud when you shake it. Almost all Seiko has this but its particularly loud compared with thicker case divers.
- Display case back (as with all of them) can get sticky in humid weather.
- Bracelet is solid but the endlinks are folded and its got the typical Seiko clasp which makes it quite rattly. Expected for this price range though.
- Bracelet version is also rather heavy. Around 190grams if I remembered correctly.
- SNZG17's black pvd coating may look ungainly when scratched.
- SNZG17's clasp (the folding part) is not PVD black. Some find it ok but I find it annoying.

Picture time.. click spoiler.
