Some people hate it, but I have one, plus its predecessor 7002 model...
this watch is just a basic seiko auto diver in disquise (thats a huge complient, don't misinterpet it!) which I think seiko made to offer an updated or dressier version of its basic diver.
sure, it does not have the "classic" seiko diver look, but it is all seiko diver with fancier bezel, bordered lumibrite markers, bordered day/date window with reversed from classic and very legible coloring.
and, for the price (about 100$), your grandkids can wear it diving!
