Found Seiko 5 Sports watch with blue dial
Description
I found a Seiko 5 Sports stainless steel watch with a blue dial this afternoon around 4:15pm. It has a 42mm case and a brushed bracelet, with a small scratch near the 2 o'clock position and an engraving on the back that reads 'A.J. 19'. I picked it up on the bench outside the Ore Dock by Front Street in downtown Marquette, Upper Peninsula, after seeing it near the bike racks along the Lake Superior shoreline. It seems well cared for, and I know how important something like this can be to someone—I'd really like to return it to its owner. If this matches your missing watch, please get in touch and we'll arrange a meet-up.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
