Great watch!
I love Smiths watches, I'm waiting patiently for a nice condition W10 to come up!

They will be a good investment watch to own

Scroll down to the 50 quid jobbies here http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-automatic-watches-69/
They use the Seiko 7S26C Automatic (mechanical) movement. It's been around since the 70's and is accurate, reliable & pretty bomb proof.
Avoid the diver style watches as that's where they jump up to 40+mm using the same movement. Same as that Orange monster a few posts above.
Wear it till it dies and buy another as a service on a automatic is going to set you back ~120 quid. Anywhere between 5-10 years life expectancy.

I agree, cracking little watches.
I didn't like the original strap so I put it on a Monkeyswag NATO. I've also got a Bond strap for it.
