Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from AMZWATCH I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

Your giving me a Blair Witch headache with that shaking.

The once will dyed my wrist green. I had to soak it in water for days to get the dye out

I really want to love Bulova and their offerings. But the watches run so large and expensive. Just grabbed this new for just over $103. Which is cheaper than a SNK809. I'm huge sucker for all these "archive, herritage, vintage" releases. Also funny, this thing is more true to size than their Sinatra series. What's going on Bulova???

It’s strange that you criticize cheap packaging but then also criticize the nicest packaging

I just bought the binlun strap. It’s horrible! I have a another one from archer at the exact same price of 16€ and it’s so many level better! Binlun not good!

Looked nice enough, too large for me to wear, shame about the case back, I own a 1960 Bulova with a black dial: Case: 32.5mm With crown: 35.5mm Lug to lug: 38.3mm Lug width: 17.9mm Depth: 11.8mm Movement: 11 AFAC Swiss Unadjusted 17 Jewels Bulova was founded and incorporated as the J. Bulova Company in 1875 by Bohemian immigrant Joseph Bulova. It was reincorporated under the name Bulova Watch Company in 1923, became part of the Loews Corporation in 1979, and was sold to Citizen at the end of 2007.

I’ve tried several brands and keep coming back to BluShark. I’ve been wearing them for about eight years with no issues. I prefer their heavier fabrics over the thinner seatbelt fabric. I mostly wear a Seiko turtle with them but also some other watches. I feel they offer excellent value, have a good selection of fabrics. They also have a three for the price of two offer and frequently offer other discounts.

Limiting your sourcing to Amazon takes the best ones out of the running.

I always go with the "Bond" type NATO (Black, Red, and Green)

Recently I bought this watch on eBay with a great seller for 320$

TStrap nato band on Amazon looks like a great strap also. Ordered one but didn't fit. ( my watch was at fault not the band) Currently waiting on an adapter and when it arrives Ill be buying another tstrap. Great video!!!!

If it has a buckle with a spring bar it isn’t NATO it is Nato Style.

The packaging rating artificially affects the results, as it does not relate to the quality of the strap. The packaging just increases environmental waste, as it gets discarded. It is nice to get a microfiber cloth, but in the end cost, comfort, looks and quality of the strap is what really matters. Personally I like only single pass straps, I cut the extra fabric on double pass straps. A watch looks a lot better without all that bunching on the side of the wrist. Only way it would look ok, is on someone with a very large wrist Anyway nice roundup. Now in 2024 many straps are available for less from CNS and Aliexpress

phenomestraps is the best.

nails need to be trimmed, dirt accumulates under them and it doesn't look very good

Acrylic Glass & Nylon Strap Watch It luks Trendy & Casual

You have the packaging rating backwards, less is more, exess paqckaging is just a waste, nothing to do with quality, adds to the price & land fill for no value.

They all suck b___s because they're all shiny plastic. I make my own, but if I didn't, the only natos I'd buy are from Stevostraps. Mine look almost identical to his.

The worst I’ve had was watchgeko ,started fraying after a month , no reply from them when contacted . Best was from straptailor ,excellent quality , bought 3 as a change , all still perfect .

Oh crap I was scared at cage match camera shake!

Thanks for saving my marriage 👌

Yes. Get it off the bracelet, polish it up, and put it on a nice black leather strap.

Lame and very flawed. You pick the winner based on the packaging which has nothing to do with quality, how well it will wear, or how well it will last. You have two other choices that are all 3's in the areas that count. You pick the winner based on a cardboard box and 10 cents worth of cloth. The only winner here are the people who haven't wasted 17 mins of their life watching this useless video. Do you buy your watches and cars based on how they come packed too?

Hi, I'm curious about which parameter of the band is responsible for the position of the buckle, as in different bands it is in different places. Thank you.

Its pronounced SPY - DEL not "Speedel" pronounce same as the word "spy" - jeez the brand is over 50 years old you'd think a watch person would know how to say it right

I have this watch 2 years now it always puts a smile on my face when i were it lovely vintage looks but modern movment best of both worlds

Wrist Candy

The following contest is scheduled for one fall 😂 You took me back to my WWF days with that cage match reference.

Got mine for $420 at Macy’s but it’s made in Japan; bezel, chapter ring and indices align perfectly. Also you get a 3 year warranty.

thanks

is this a video of the watch brand new or have you used it before doing this review ? as i saw a couple of scratches thats all

You speak about supporting your channel yet you dont support Certina purchasing from grey market

I don't get it, you take away points for packaging..... then later you Comment that you'd prefer lesser quality packing lollol

Ive got the SBDA001 original …titanium case

Hardlex is 8 in the Mohs scale, sapphire is 9.But Hardlex is way more shatter resistant than sapphire. In a real world, i prefer my diver watches to be better protected, and hardlex is a better option than sapphire. To be clear, Seiko don't use hardlex to cut prices. You can find sapphire crystals for $10 at Amazon.

What's the accuracy on it?

I just recieved this watch as a gift. $525, great looking watch. The size is perfect, not to big, but big enough that it gains attention. I have some friends who rock some Rolex watches that tell me it is a good looking watch. This is my second Seiko divers watch.

Great video and happy to be a new subscriber

Probably the worst advice to not go for the steel mesh bracelet...A leather nato costs pennies!

Don’t shower with your watch on. Hot water and soap/shampoo are not its friends.

The 1950s originals with this dial and various lug designs were 32mm cases.

Hii...im now confused, buying this samurai or King Samurai..whats ur opinion?

Thanks for your honest reviews ! Made me bring new life t my watch without spending an arm and leg

Good review for a good divers watch i have one myself in the black with black rubber seiko Silicone and it's very comfortable to wear!

best watch for me!

I paid £500 Uk in mint condition and it’s superb

thanks for great video

You should never shower with your watch on
