I like it. Too big for me, but it really is a mish mash of SARB and SARX but for a chunk of money less than either. Good stuff! Cheers, Jody.

[@ARod3]

Also yes we need that video! The seiko royal rumble

[@tomcryer1638]

That Seiko royal rumble is a fantastic idea

[@00gerard]

I have the SARY055. My wife got it for my 40th. It has a white dial and blued hands. Much nicer to my eye than the black dial. Totally agree with you about the clasp, such a shame. Yes Jodie, do the Vs,Vs,Vs video...

[@fondajames]

I have a 055 as well. I definitely agree the white dial is better looking, little bit of color goes a long way

[@mattosborne652]

I like to thank you for all the Reviews that you make now I'm only a small collector with only just over a 100 watches and you've helped me make a lot of decisions on my collection with your reviews and I appreciated

[@svfutbol20]

This was one of my first automatic watches and it remains one of my favorite today. The curved lugs are soooo comfy and it is accurate as hell. I actually beat the hell out of it mixing drinks at a cocktail bar, never missed a beat.

[@herkamer98]

Always classy and well-produced; informative, smart, respectful and factual. This watch channel is rapidly becoming my favorite... 😊

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Thanks for your kind words! Cheers, Jody

[@InstrumentPlayer]

Purchased one of these as my first automatic watch. It’s my everyday wear and I love its versatility and quality. Now I’m patiently waiting for a black dial Explorer 2 from my AD

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Loving that Boston shirt, Jody. I was cross shopping the SARY057 with the SARB035 myself, and ultimately, I choose the SARB. The SARB was a smaller, dressier size on my wrist, and I already have an SKX and a Turtle to cover my sports watch bases. Because of their respective sizes, I consider the SARB a sporty dress watch, and the SARY a dressy sports watch.

[@sinjon]

What you said at the end about liking the SARB but finding it too small is exactly why I bought this watch. I also preferred at day/date but it wasn’t a necessity. Love this watch on my espresso Barton strap.

[@jamesf801]

Hi Jody, great review as always! Two things worth mentioning that aren’t in the review... the kanji day/date wheel and the “kabuto” style rotor on the movement. I love both these features and although I wish the watch was slightly smaller, they make it a keeper for me. The kanji day complication alone has held me back every time I think of upgrading to the SARB033!

[@danowat4302]

I went into Yodabashi in Ueno a few years ago and tried on a SARB033, it looked so small on my wrist i ended up walking out with the SARY057, got a ridiculously good deal on it too

[@huckinator]

40-42mm are my desired sizes! I went with this over the SARB033 just for that reason! Love this watch!

[@iant.gilchrist4264]

I purchased the watch a month ago. It is my first automatic watch. I really like the watch and the case size. Thanks for the great review.

[@jonathandougherty3677]

I changed out the clasp on my SARY057 for a Strapcode milled clasp. It makes all the difference in the world on the great factory Seiko bracelet.

[@sbenally2011]

I've had the Seiko SARY055, the white dial alternative to this, and I miss it dearly. Great review, Jody. Looking forward to that Seiko royal rumble!

[@ElijsDima]

Yeap, that 4-way battle would be great to see. But, for popular-comparison-sake, I think it would be great to also include an alpinist in that lineup, to see how that stacks up to these dressier alternatives.

[@musoman]

i have this watch and I love it, The Sarb033 was just too small, so I sold it. I wear this on a 2nd hand 22mm Jaeger Le Coultre gen crock strap that I picked up for a song on Ebay and it looks a million bucks.

[@Lmbrjk]

If you're looking at prospex, I recommend one of the "Save the Oceans" editions. I picked up a SRPC91 a few weeks ago and am loving the dial, it's even nicer in person. I have it on a Strapcode Endmill bracelet right now, and while it is substantial, it's comfortable and well balanced.

[@infinitigjj6779]

I just bought this one today. I can’t wait to get my hands on these watch

[@paoloabella412]

YES PLEASE WE NEED THAT SEIKO COMPARISON VIDEO

[@aliaub75]

I just bought this watch and I love it. I chose it over the Sarb033. Found that any watch less than 40mm is too small for me. Almost up to 100K subs mate. Great channel so shouldn't take too long.

[@joshuaalumbaugh3895]

I was between the SARB and SARY. I have a wrist slightly over 7.5 inches so I went with the SARY. I have a few Seiko pieces in this price range and I have to say this watch wears the most comfortable. I highly recommend it.

[@jaccolin8678]

Hi, where did you buy it? I'm from Europe and it's hard to find without paying waaay too much for it.

[@ankitnauwag9873]

do a video on the SEIKO PRESAGE SARX027 with that enamel dial. its beautiful and on their store.

[@BirdGuy64]

That royal rumble sounds fantastic! Although I do have a watch suggestion for sometime in the future. While on Amazon Canada I stumbled upon a Seiko piece I had never seen or heard of before called the SUR259. It seems like a "baby" Cocktail Time in some respects, so a comparison between the two would be really cool to see!

[@WatchesFilm]

With enough Black Dial watches I elected for the Sary055 same watch White Dial. After two years I love it.. The movement winds like hot knife through butter.. great feel. and looks great on my 71/8" wrist. Oh yes It looks great with a jubilee

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

Just bought a sarx 045. LOVE its peculiarities: sharp edges, onyx crown, every day-style etc. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review and tell us what you think!!

[@sinesaii]

I wore one of these for years. The bracelet was great, and the watch is a great one for the office. I liked this more than the SARB033 (much better bracelet)

[@edf2953]

Nice review Jody. This is a very nice looking watch. Ordering from Japan doesn’t excite me personally, however; I’ve never done so before, so I suppose I could buy one from the JapanOnline Store and see how I like it. I for one, would enjoy a video discussing a comparison of the 4 Seiko watches you referenced. As always, thanks for taking the time to put together this excellent production. Good job!

[@pickles632]

one thing not mentioned is this watch, the 056 and 055 exclusivey come with an english/ kanji date wheel. The kanji day option is very unique and makes it feel very jdm!

[@Miginath]

Love the idea idea of a Seiko War.

[@edcain3676]

Just Got A SNE 507 Couple Weeks Ago.Blue Dial SOLAR,& Love It.Preordered It Online @ Big Dept.Store ,When I Picked It Up,ALL SEIKOS Were On Sale That Week,30% Off,+After Saleslady Reslizdec I Had Been A SEIKO FAN Since First Purchase in Late 60' s in Malaysia,While on R& R From V.Nam War,Got the 0n Line Disc,Also,40% Disc.Total.Love It,SOLAR,NO BATTERY & Uses Any Kind of Lite.Only Thing I Miss is Lum.Dial.GREAT WATCH For A Future Review.

[@ronniejarvis2679]

Fabulous review. Fair and well rounded. Lomé me some JDM Seiko

[@manishsoni7689]

Got a nice deal on sary057 and I preferred it over highly priced sarb033. I like 40mm+ watches anyway. Really happy with my purchase.

[@craig2100]

Wish the sarb 33 would make a come back... but looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@johandebondt5749]

Sary055 here, with the silvery dial. Dressy/sporty watch indeed. Wears perfect on my 6 3/4" wrist. Japanese are usually of the slender variety, so they make their domestic watches accordingly: nicely curved. As I don't really liked the metal bracelet (none of my Seikos are on metal anymore), I put it on leather rightaway. Brown Shell Cordovan for fall/winter and (optically) perforated marine blue for spring/summer. You can easily cover 90% of your occasions with just this watch. I don't of course. The other ones would be jealous ;-) With love from Belgium!

[@scottsj4625]

I think comparing your Seiko collection would make a good video, what you get for your money. Prices are all over the place. Nice review. Hope to see your next one soon. Take care.

[@bogrot69]

Great review Jody. I recently picked the Presage Fuyujishiki LE. Stunning dial on it. Decent price as well.

[@drwindsurf]

Thank you for another excellent review Jody. I would love to see a comparison video with all 4 Seikos :)

[@agilewolf]

at 2:18 we see why the SARX (more expensive of the bunch) is the best! The SARY with the same size dial looks like a much smaller watch also.

[@williamsipe1151]

I would LOVE to see that Seiko comparison!

[@ARod3]

It’s 3am here in Miami but I AM HERE!

[@Schorle94]

I bought this watch in march on my first trip to japan and i absolutely love it!

[@ran.tr.3086]

How is the watch running so far?

[@haroldcastle]

Thanks for this video Jody, following you from Venezuela!! Great stuff !! I LOVE THIS WATCH, THE SIZE IS PERFECT FOR ME!!

[@RedwoodAggie]

Great size on this watch, which would fit my 7.25" (18.4cm) wrist perfectly. It looks great on your wrist as well. The Seiko 37-38mm watches are just too small for me. I have an old Victorinox (nearly 20 year old quartz, runs perfectly) that's 38mm, and I just don't care for the small look after experiencing 40-42mm modern watches. Thanks for the great reviews, as always.

[@mats0205]

I love you man! Keep up the great work. What a beauty’s today

[@edteach3r]

Another beautiful Seiko. +4 seconds per day is better than any of mine ... lucky boy! A Seiko shoot-out will be awesome.

[@savvylifestrategies9445]

I suggest the SARB033. I own it and like its 38mm diameter, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The bracelet also has a milled clasp. Thanks for the review of the Seiko SARY057 .

[@-Dash-]

I think I would pick this out of the 4 you showed... Even tho my wrist is a very average 7-7.25inches watches under 40mm look a bit small in my view.

[@NoizeTank]

I think a SARX035 AKA the baby grand Seiko is needed before that battle royale can properly begin.

[@dariodeagostini5176]

i agree with this! We need the sarx video BEFORE the royal rumble!

[@primecreator]

Great watch. Mine is consistently my best timekeeper beating my much more expensive watches. My latest reading is +0.8 sec per day! Perfect on my 7.5 wrist too.

[@markgoggins246]

This one of my favourite seikos

[@caedengoering]

Love that video idea, Jody! Make it happen!

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

The 1/5th of a second tick marks make even less sense on the SARY when you consider the second hand ticks at 1/6th if a second.

[@axe2grind9]

First off...Jody, I hope I spelled that right👍I have to say that I love your videos! Every time u say "hello!" I say it with u lol. Secondly, could u please please please do a review of the Seiko Bottle cap. Any color is fine although I do I have a soft spot for the silver with black dial and the PVD black coated with the teal dial. Really stunning piece. I've been on the fence about it forever and I'd love to hear your take on it. Again, thanks for all that u do and keep up the great work!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Hellloooo! Great review and I always love your videos!

[@RobertBrownieJr]

I really like this, but I agree about the minute track being a little unnecessary. The size is where I like it most, as a man with larger wrists, the 38mm of the SARB was always a reason I stayed away!

[@mike73ng]

You also get a DAY complication! You can’t get that on the SARB. That’s the major plus in my book. Day/dates are rare in Seiko.

[@wpherigo1]

I’d love to see that comparison!

[@joesjunkgarage3313]

Yes, please make the comparison video!

[@ajbcruz]

I really prefer no AR on my crystals. The AR is just a weird color. I really love this watch. Thanks for the vid!

[@saigoneseSG]

I bought this Sary057 a few years ago for $265 from Japan 🇯🇵, best watches, felt like GS 👍

[@Scum8ag]

Yes on the Seiko Battle Royale!

[@JeeGee114]

The SARX045 is the only one I would consider in this Seiko design genre but I have got the Sarb already and I am much more of a tool watch wearer.

[@mikev3245]

Another enjoyable review! This is why I tune into your channel. The timegrapher reading adds a great dimension to your reviews. The numbers don't lie! I love Seikos but unfortunately their warranty is not worth the paper it is written on here in the US. The New Jersey Warranty / Repair facility is staffed with rude people that don't know the product and don't understand the concept of a 3 year warranty and will charge for services rendered even if the watch is unscratched and perfect condition. I was shocked at the treatment I received and even more so when I went on-line and realized this is their normal way of treating Seiko owners. Hello Seiko Japan - are you listening???

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Hmmmm, not good. You can expect a video on my experience of Seiko Australia servicing in about 4 weeks.....

[@stevenwymor1398]

Jody, I think a four watch boxing match will require a tag team scenario.

[@daveho852]

wish SARB033 got such cool bracelet (spare the clasp)... 🙏🏻

[@paulienkhamvaiphei134]

Looks gorgeous.

[@joshuaevilsizer]

I'd love to see the comparison video of the varying price levels of Seiko. Been very curious of the differences. I'm currently trying to compare and decide between the SKX, SNZH, SNZF, and the many Samurai options.

[@ADudeAndHisWatches]

I need to try some more of Seiko's higher end watches...I am just not that enamored of things at the lower end. And I think Seiko are trying to up-scale themselves; not sure how I feel about that.

[@lenpowell6647]

Hiya my man."Big In Japan" ....what a bloody good 80,s number that was way back! Sorry to digress somewhat!!!! Cheers ,Len.

[@guts2112]

Dude, you are awesome. Thanks for the videos.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Thanks for the kind words mate! And thanks for watching the channel. Jody

[@CarlosDiaz-wn1ws]

The SARY057 is going to be my next watch, and then a Casio 5600 on a combi bracelet. My Hamilton kakhi field is waiting for the Hamtung H2 on September to complete the Fantastic 4...at least for me

[@docgify]

It’s got normal numbering one to twelve and I think it’s quite the watch I’m still in two minds as to wether I will like it and I bought another presage in rose gold white dial and date a six which I prefer over the 3 o’clock date.., but you get the 6r in my choice as opposed to your sary!!

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

For someone late to the Seiko party, you are getting quite the collection. I have the sto turtle and the white SARY. Still want the sarb tho. Recently have been going between steinhart ocean one and Squale 1545. Decided to go squale because I have their 60 atmos and love it. You should do that comparison, your Seikos, and would love to see the Balticus Wave.

[@MarcTheWatchman]

Awesome video as always Jody! Crazy comparison idea: Victorinox INOX vs Citizen Promaster Tough

[@ElijsDima]

Also, if you can, it would be amazing to see a review of those (newly released? upcoming? idk) next-generation seiko 5's (with the restyled '5' badge and skx case) Edit: another thing that would be neat - a comparison between the various 'snowflake' type watches; especially to check how the dial textures differ.

[@mattap98]

that sounds like an interesting watch mate. do you have a link?

[@WLVFX]

Always a pleasure watching you review a JDM, but disappointed you're not wearing some sort of funky Japanese T-shirt LOL!

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ha! My Mario Kart was in the wash...... 😂😂

[@marmiki]

Hey Jody I would like to see a review of Seiko SBTM-217. It looks like the classic SARB033 and it is solar with perpetual calendar.

[@TedCornish]

Jody make it so, compare away my friend. Nice watch one of my bucket list ones

[@allthestroke88]

I just tried on a SARY at my local dealer. Damn you Jody. A total Seiko 12 rounds would be great as I'm still waffling about which JDM Seiko to buy.

[@markplayford5836]

My fave is the SARX033 (white dial, blue hands), like that one too as I like most of the JDM Seikos. It would make my day if you got chance to review that one (that’s around this size). At over £600 though there is a lot of competition out there. Been honest I have a SARB035 (same clasp as that one!) so the SARB would have to go. They are more for someone who wears only one watch IMHO, so in higdsight probably not for me! 😁

[@tynannida9642]

You should review the sbdc061, one of the best seiko divers

[@JETBLACKPRIEST]

I just got a prospex padi samurai for 500aud, looks great, size you already have a mod samurai though I'd probably suggest one of the turtles (unfortunately the samurais first two readings on watchcheck are +18)

[@stevenharper6888]

You need to do that comparison video !

[@alexandredeoliveirapenna198]

Please!!! Do it! The comparing video will be awesome!

[@crayolavanilla548]

no boxing...make a SUMO match...4 jdm....sounds like a good match up!!! great vid.....I enjoy seiko brand!

[@roshfoocowatchesthings5510]

I guess the sizing helps the JDM range cover more potential customers - 38mm is too small for some, this one maybe too big for others. Defo do that 4way Seiko-joust!

[@francistuazon7666]

Review the Transocean with the blue dial. Thats an awesome watch.

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

My defense in the pressed clasp is it slims it down. A milled clasp would be thicker.

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello Jody, Sweden here again. I can't tell you what to review as it's your channel, your choice of watches even if I would love to see something in green. Why not a SSC513?

[@ghenghiskhan39]

Nice watch. I was wondering about this one, whether it was worth pulling the trigger on it. And yes, please do the 4-way tag team video. It'll be the watch equivalent of Samurai movie.

[@Nick.0f.T1me]

Too big for me, but a good looking watch. The chapter ring and indices bring the dial in, so the date isn't floating in the middle of the dial like many larger pieces. The hands are also well proportioned. 4 way battle sounds great, the SARB would be the winner for me.

[@roop366]

Loving your videos! Are you in Perth?

[@kevorknourian5442]

Awesome watch and show

[@danielbeniste5150]

The bracelete looks like the old rolex ones, witch looks like it's not from the watch. But after a wile, it is actually pretty good.

[@chrispenn715]

Having the 'Made in Japan' printing start above the seven marker is a bit distracting - why not centre it around the 6?

[@robertbackus1196]

Haveing been Around ww2 vet I would be concerned my Self ".

[@sigsauerkatana6513]

i guess it balance with caliber 4 R 36 at 5 marker

[@Bscott-390]

Great vid as usual. SO If you could only have one. The sarb033 or the Sary057? Which one?

[@peterbright8125]

Please review the 3rd generation Seiko Sumo SPB 103 J1...70 hour reserve and a sapphire crystal with a brilliant green dial!

[@gregwallace9035]

Nice looking watch. I think sometimes we forget what watches are worth and what you get these days. So much more than the past. In the early 1980's I bought a Seiko H556 Sports 100m. It was expensive then. I don't remember how much but maybe close to $300. Huge money for a factory worker back then. I still have it. It's not working of course but its not hammered. Jody I will gift it to you if you like; it's been sitting in the draw here for 20 years. You might be able to do something with it. Get InTouch if you are interested. I will pay the postage.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Greg mate! Thanks for the kind offer, but you should keep it, or sell it and make yourself a few dollars. Cheers!

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

A comparison video would be greatly appreciated.
