Yeah, so the Seestern is probably 20% better than the Frog in most areas, bracelet, lume, clasp, caseback etc. It is better than the Doxa in some areas as well! Let's see if they do indeed release V2s of each watch. Maybe that will be a future Watch Boxing Special. Cheers, Jody

Hooray! Thank you Jody. You've actually reviewed a watch that I have and won't have to buy afterwards (the Citizen NY0040). Great video and attention to detail. I'm super happy that I'm sitting here with my Seestern with the mother of pearl dial on wrist. I wanted the orange but switched to the mop when I saw it. It's superb. The Heimdallr website actually sells Tactical Frogs but I don't know the connection between them. For me the Seestern name had some gravitas and a serious brand identity plus it wasn't slightly comical. You've made my day. 😀👍

I've just received the Tactical Frog v1.5. They removed the brand name from the face but still the tachy bezel (which I didn't mind). I think the dial with applied indices looks a bit nicer than the flat printed dial. Keeping excellent time, and I think they adjusted the AR coating on this one. I don't seem to have the issues reviewers have pointed out with glare until an extreme angle. The biggest con is undoubtedly the bracelet, which I hope I can find a higher-end replacement for.

Just a comment on the bezel ( I scrolled for ages and didn't see anyone else cover this, so apologies if someone did), that's not a "tacky" scale. It's the US Navy non-decompression dive limit tables (20 minutes at 110 feet as example). This was Doxa's signature trick...that and the minute hand being larger than the hour. Both features being very useful in the golden age of diving. Although I disagree, the "nobody dives with a watch" comments will now commence............

I’m researching these and I fell in love with them, I think they might’ve listened to you Jody the version two has a loomed PIP the height is thinner by 1.1 mm and it’s got five coats of AR coating. It looks like in Canada they are only available on eBay and they’re $248. The brand new tactical frog version two is $30 cheaper. I’m kind of torn but I like the drilled lugs and the useable bezel for timing things on the Seestern.

Hah! I did the same, first bought the Tactical Frog and then noticed the Seestern (pronounced Zay Stern) on the German watchforum, which didn't have the wrong bezel and even a lumed date wheel. As soon I had the Seestern, I sold the Tactical Frog, for what I paid for and the Seestern was even cheaper in the end. Cannot be more happy with this watch for the price. My own niggle would be, that the letters on the dial are somewhat thin, I like it more how Doxa did it and indeed, comparing the hands, they are indeed somewhat shorter and the hour hand is kinda small. I have the same color dial btw...

I picked up the same Seestern with an orange dial at a pawn shop for less than $100. The build quality is amazing! I might get flack for this but I think this watch with the NH-35 movement is so much better of a buy than the ETA 2824 movement you get in the Doxa. You really need to hold the Seestern in your hands though, the quality is amazing.

They got a lumed date on their Monster too. I've had a Suub 300T homage from Seestern for around a year now, what a great little watch. Has stood up extremely well, the bracelet was a little stiff when new but gained articulation after a couple of months, It's very comfortable, a wee bit light if anything (many of my divers are over 200grams). I'm really happy with it, in fact my only mild criticism would be of the lume, it's not the brightest but does have decent longevity, just needs to be properly dark in order to see it after an hour, it's still visible (in complete darkness) at four hours. If you can live with the homage thing, then Seestern offer fantastic watches for little money, and if you pick one of the Doxa homages, not many people will be aware of the that brand. For £150 or so you're getting a beautiful Doxa design with a solid Seiko movement, well made from good quality materials. Could always spend a bit more and get a Seiko 5 (I think mine is a V3, it also has a lume pip on the bezel. I have two Seestern's both V3, my buddy has a V2 300T and I think the later versions are often where all the issues are corrected without any new ones replacing them. Wish they offered a PT5000 or even a Swiss movement in this and there other Doxa homage) No issues with it at all and it's worn very wel.l

Bought my original 300T for about $250 second hand circa 1996. Paid around $1000 for the first reissue circa 2000/2001. Both are Professionals which is orange in Doxa parlance. I’d still recommend saving up for the real deal but if you want a homage for everyday wear, you won’t cry as much if you smash it into a valve by accident.

I bought the Pagani one as I lacked a NH38 in my collection ticking all the NHxx's. I would have prob have gone with the Seestern otherwise as their orange seems to be a much brighter version but hey ho am pleased with the PD one save there are some niggles like the rattley bracelet and no easy way to get the bracelet adjusted to that sweet spot plus the clasp pops open but it does have the NH38 in which is why I bought it in the first place.

Kudos on the name - definitely thoughtful. Some names are great in one language, but not in all. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Doesn't have much AR coating either - both minor issues.

Can you do an "orange dial diver" showdown? For example this, the Seiko SRPD59, the Bulova Devil Diver, Rotary Scuba 7, etc?

SKX011 is an orange diver, the SPRD is not.

I love the functionality and value, but I hate the cushioned look. I'd go for the Kamasu if I had the money.

I bought the right watch! Your review could not have come at a better time! I ordered the exact same watch as the one reviewed for $233.36 CAD. I had seen your review of the Tactical Frog, and being French and even with my highly developed selfdeprecating sense of humour, the frog was not to be. A tachymetre, really? Was the Seestern the better alternative? Thank you for alleviating my doubts! I chose the blue version because enough with the orange watches and straps in my collection already. One question: besides the beads of rice bracelet, any suggestions for straps (that are not NATO's)? Merci beaucoup Jody.

I've only bought one wrong watch in my watch collecting hobby. It's a lovely 37mm Orient Star dress watch, and looked a bit silly on my 8" trunk. But not a disaster as my wife loved it so it adorns her 5.2" twig! Lol. I love this Seestern , it's on my 11/11 list. I'm not really against the Tactical Frog name, as Frogman was the name given to Navy divers back in 1940's to 1960's before scuba became popular!

When i think of "stern" i think of the stern of a boat. I just thought they used the wrong spelling of "sea".. good to know its a starfish.

Yeah that was my first thought too, Rocco, but someone pointed out the starfish thing. SeaStern would have worked though.

Just bought a Doxa sub300t. Very disappointed with the quality of case. Poor accuracy, +12 a day and the rubber strap is stiff and uncomfortable. Coming from Panerai and Rolex the quality is awful for £1850. Even as a beater it doesn’t compare with a Citizen or Seiko.

The dial depth of the Frog and the Doxa are about the same. The Seestern dial is much deeper, which is too bad.

I had to stick it out to the end to see if you picked up the unforgivable lack of a lume pip. You did. Nice work.🧐

Yeah, I think I am going to have to pick up another one. It has been two years since I reviewed it, so it'll be interesting if I still regard it as the benchmark for the price. Not without niggles, but a strong package.... and originality.
