Great looking watch but is the worst Seiko Ive ever owned. First year owning -2 minutes per day. Took it to AD who recalibrated it under the guarantee. 4 months on running -60 seconds per day. Seiko QC is a joke.. the 6R35 movement terrible.

It's hasn't really taken design queues from the Submariner; it's more a case of convergent design. Crown guards are entirely functional, and if we're going to appeal to the design of the face, we have to talk about the 50 Fathoms; which I'm pretty sure was milspec anyway (I'd have to double check).

You definitely notice a difference in comfort. The surface texture isn’t as soft on this strap but it didn’t irritate me to the point of having to remove it. This watchgecko version is the only example I have owned of this type so you may have a different experience with other brands.

I'm enjoying mine, same version as yours, two weeks now, eBay from Hong Kong to US. I hate the bracelet, and will soon get the custom one Marc at Long Island Watch made. The fact it's a solar quartz is not a negative, but a positive; it's 10.7 mm thick! One point never discussed anywhere in youtube is the dial. Yes, it's a sunburst, but I'd swear it is a midnight blue in direct light. I dunno, it could be due to the bezel reflecting, but nevertheless this dial/bezel combo is the nicest thing in my collection!

Good points. Yes the bracelet is irritating. It’s as if they gave it solid links to justify the higher price but didn’t think about the profile and aesthetics. The stock bracelet irritates me more than some of the older seiko 5 bracelets. Thankfully the Long Island bracelets have had great reviews. I ordered one today. I’ve sold the watch and bought the matte black version for the full no nonsense tool watch aesthetic that I always crave. I think this will balance out the rest of my collection. Thanks for sharing your experience. Let me know if you get the oyster or jubilee style from Long Island and your experience with it please. 👍🏽

Worth pointing out that every feature on this watch and bracelet is designed to ensure the watch complies with ISO dive watch standards. The stamped parts and lack of a date window bezel means that there is nothing to fall off and jam the mechanism under water. The lumed second hand counter balance means you can check the watch is running at a glance under water. Screw down crown, sapphire glass, a two second jumping second hand if the battery is low, 120 click dive bezel, a lume pip at 3 O’clock, and some form of anti reflective coat inside the crystal, are all part of the certification process. This is a professional dive watch even if most examples will be lucky to see the bottom of a swimming pool, let alone get anywhere close to their dive tolerance.

This is a proper dive watch with decent specs and accuracy without being oversized. If this is a homage in any way, then this is the watch and price of the stuff Rolex should be making if they were remaining true to their origins. I regard this Prospex range as the best decent Seiko available for a reasonable price. Looks good enough for business but is tough enough to be used as a genuine dive watch. Quite a few people have referred to these models as being “a supposed to be professional dive watch”. It is actually an ISO certified professional dive watch and that accounts for the price. Worth every penny and will put a smile on your face every time you look at it.

As an owner of both I would say they’re very different watches with some similarities. They feel extremely different. The black bay 58 feels like a well built luxury item that is a nod to history. The seiko feels like a well built modern day no nonsense functional tool watch that just happens to have good looks as well. The black bay feels like I have to take care of it. The seiko feels like a reliable grab and go no matter what.

I'm really tempted with one of these. Its the size and convenience. I'd have it on a NATO or rubber and I have a minimum 7.5 inch wrist. I was really keen on a Citizen Eco drive for its convenience and thought I'dlook at my go to brand, Seiko to see what they had to offer Solar wise and I came upon this. Yes, its pricier, but it has the sapphire crystal which I find more practical. Good review, with some great points. I'm not a fan of the pressed clasp, but the hollow end links do appeal. It has solid links, but the hollow end links means it sits on the wrist better, by the looks of things.

Hi Robert. Good points mate. The Eco-Drive divers are really good too for the price and for a watch that has some history to it. For my personal tastes the seiko wins out due to the classic looks and dimensions along with the sapphire crystal as you stated. The bezel action is a lot tighter on the Seiko too. The Eco-Drive still punches way above in terms of value for money though in my opinion. 👍🏾

Good review. Very nice watch, I have this one incoming next week, I am very much looking forward to it. I also own the grey/brownish one (SPB243J1) which is also a stunner. The green SPB245J1 does not do anything to me, too common in the Alpinist line. By the way, I think you better wear the watch on the handside of you knuckle (at 7:15), so the crown does not touch your hand with certain moves, and it looks better on the wrist.

The Seiko seems to have a very small dial and the lug to lug length seems disproportionately long. The Citizen is not perfect, it looks better, although less elegant.

Hi Stefano. Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I agree with what you said on the lug to lug length. Sometimes Sometimes you notice it on the wrist but other times it just blends in with the rest of the watch and you forget it. The Promaster is amazing for the price and definitely a classic. I’d love for it to receive some quality upgrades to the bracelet and bezel and crystal even if Citizen charges a little more for those things, but still nowhere near what Seiko is charging for it’s Solar equivalent.
