I removed the (very hard to remove!) original strap, which is super sturdy but not very flexible. I can put it back on if you like, but as I removed it with great effort and care and without any marks, I'd just leave it off unless you know you want to wear the watch on the original strap -- which does have a "Promaster"-signed buckle, if that's important to you.
I had it on wrist for several hours one day, and can confirm that everything works fine (day, date, crown, bezel etc.), including power reserve. In my limited experience, it was running about +15 seconds/day.
This is the newer version, with the Miyota 8204 movement that has hacking, as well as hand-winding. You can definitely feel the difference in the movement between this and an Omega(!), but you also get the feeling like it's built to take a beating. I've found these Promasters far better value than Seiko's at the equivalent price.
There are a number of Youtube videos/reviews on this watch, to give you a better idea of exactly what it looks like and the lume. Here's a couple:

I also bought black and a brown FKM rubber straps, with quick-release springbars, that I'll sell for $15 apiece. Here's the Ebay link:
