What Makes The PADI Turtle Different? | Seiko PADI Turtle Review

[@jameswcollett]

I recently bought one of these Pepsi PADIs second hand, and I am constantly drawn in by the gorgeous blue dial. And the Turtle just feels at home as soon as I lay it on my wrist.

[@JustWatchreviews]

It has a great dial, congrats on the purchase!

[@lonewolf30531]

The PADI Turtle in my opinion is a must have in a collection. I think it kills an SKX.

[@WuBloodKin09]

TIMEFORFUN You think?! It does kill it!

[@niconava9643]

TIMEFORFUN of course the Padi turtle has the advantage of SKX 009 first the padi turtle is a brand new edition but the SKX is a legend watch wear by Robert Redford movies in year 2004

[@Martrex296]

I prefer the SRP779, mine only cost £238 brand new!

[@Sjwatts]

@Guitar T Yes you most definitely did get a bad one. Should've sent it back because that isn't the case for 99.99% of SKX owners lmao

[@CallmeDaBreeze1971]

Wearing mine as I watch this. Love it!

[@tezzanewton]

Holy shit, who would have thought that it would look so good on the red nato. I’m getting one now, for sure.

[@Kingstonsmac]

Terry Newton yeah it looks great !

[@inlandwatchreviews5745]

I just bought one of these yesterday in new condition, its my favorite watch. Hacking hand wind day and date and the dial with the different colors is outstanding . Love your videos very good.

[@StayHomeEatGreat]

Great review! I was just gifted this same watch by some of my great friends. Glad you like it as well. It's my first automatic.

[@avinashrajan1578]

Just got one yesterday ❤ thank u

[@bennybenitez2461]

Brilliant piece. I have one on order got a cracking deal.

[@MrZZooh]

I scored one new for 267 on inventory adjusters. I will probably change the crystal to sapphire glass soon.

[@prredo]

starts at 1:40

[@MasterKoala777]

4:46 we are both OCD so thanks for fixing haha 😂 PS. I have the blue turtle SRP773 (-6s per day) yet still pine for the PADI... Great review!

[@billynunns]

Mine also runs 5 seconds a day. I have nothing in my life that I would ever miss by being a whole 5 seconds a day a head. My 6309 from 1983 runs about the same too. 👍🏻

[@JustWatchreviews]

Stephen that’s awesome! You have great taste in watches 😁

[@dannygarcia2194]

I have also this seiko turtle PADI special edition that I bought here in Dubai. I love IT!

[@JustWatchreviews]

It's a great looking watch, did you get good alignment?

[@timmyneath4099]

What’s the difference between the special edition and the normal edition please

[@drwindsurf]

This is a great review. I love mine...the dial is beautiful :)

[@JustWatchreviews]

Jeffrey Wood thanks Jeffrey, it’s a beauty for sure 😍

[@amarok5048]

Tried one on today at the AD. Looks and feels awesome. AD said he'll try and price match anything I find online. We shall see...

[@JustWatchreviews]

Good luck! Thanks for checking in!

[@stanleynadulek4195]

Nice vid Mike as usual. I just received the Patty turtle that is the Japanese version with the J1. It is a great watch. I can't stop looking at your tutor black Bay Heritage that you wear all the time great looking watch

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks Stanley, enjoy the watch and thanks for checking in!

[@ralphlouismendoza1977]

Stanley Nadulek but the one on the video is not a J1/JDM version. compare it to what you have,if it’s the same,then get a refund.

[@StefaanVdV1961]

Thanks for sharing, I ware mine on a Strapcode Jubilee bracelet.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks, I hear those are really nice! Enjoy!

[@jbbrabant]

Good review! I own it & I really like it. Very accurate on the wrist. Excellent fit and finish.

[@fungus70]

This turtle really has character .....

[@JustWatchreviews]

It sure does, amazing colors and finish as well!

[@eddieg849]

I'm trying to decide on this watch or the Seiko PADI Arnie please help

[@1968jpy]

Just recently acquired a Padi Turtle 🐢 and love this watch 😀👍🏻

[@JusttheWatch]

Looks amazing on that red Nato! Thanks for the review.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Just the Watch thanks!

[@johnklonaris9136]

Good review i wear mine on the bracelet.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks John, I was just thinking about sizing mine... :-)

[@gsxr2fst498]

What size is that nato. How do I know I’m ordering the right size nato strap. I already own the watch but never worn it. Folks my daily watch is a seiko sports green dial with push and pull crown no screw down. Reminds me of seeing men in the 80s. Many of the car dealers I seen as a kid liked Timex or seiko even though they could have worn Rolex. Seiko will always be my daily

[@BrianJones-cu2sx]

Hey man! I’m sure you’ve already got it taken care of but it’s 22 mm

[@paulrobinson272]

Looks even better on a Strapcode Angus. Bezel alignment sub optimal.

[@JvD1985]

After 5years of wearing my Casio G-Shock gwm5600 though solar, I orderd the Seiko Turtle PADI (SRPA21-K) modded with a sapphire crystal and with a Solid Presidential band with a V-clasp. I could choose for an double domed sapphire but I think I will regret that. I had a Seiko SNP005 Premier Kinetic Perpetual Calendar before, but sold it (still regret it) Can't wait untill I will receive my new Seiko.

[@JustWatchreviews]

That sounds awesome!

[@hnabhijith]

Great video.. just wondering would this look too big on a 6.5 inch wrist

[@JustWatchreviews]

They wear really well as the wingspan is family small at 46 mm or so. As long as you like the look of a slightly oversize watch, it should be good. I would recommend buying it from someone who will let you return it, just in case.

[@tombowers2020]

A great wearing watch, super comfortable, beautiful and lovely time piece. Heaven to wear on a NATO strap.

[@johnkennedy9078]

Do you have to wind the Turtles?

[@wadecroker1]

@@johnkennedy9078 automatic but can manually hand wind also.

[@tombowers2020]

John Kennedy, it’s an automatic...I believe it has a 40 something hour reserve...

[@siamwatchaddict9072]

Nice review.. I own the Asian Limited edition Sunburst orange dial. And a Prospex mini turtle blue dial.. Love them both ..Quality silicone rubber straps on turtles..Put a Crystal times double domed AR coated sapphire crystal in the mini turtle ... A mod that makes the watch and dial pop big time..P.S. Collar and pin bracelets are a massive ball ache to size.. Good advice..Subbed.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thank you!

[@LanningKann]

I got a DD AR sapphire for my PADI turtle. Should be here any day now! This is my every day watch. I rarely leave home without it.

[@sponsurd]

I just purchased an original Prospex just like this but red & black, not pepsi. Same size, 45mm. My question is, what is the difference with Padi? Mine looks just like this, just red & black and doesn’t say Padi.

[@YU-nq2te]

Is the PADI the only version of the pepsi color scheme for the turtle?

[@gsabella4]

Cannot wait to get mine.

[@ramonalbertotamayoisla2592]

Excellent vid. Excellent watch!! I concur with u in regards to all said about the watch.

[@giangvu7902]

That is a beautiful watch.

[@edyue1]

I think NATO bands look cool but I don’t like that it stays wet after washing your hands, swimming or taking a shower. 😢

[@gogo-ninja300]

Stunning review.

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

Have mine on a ToxicNATOs Shiznit80 nato admiralty grey Love the feel on this nato

[@JustWatchreviews]

That sounds good, I was looking at grey NATO's last night, how do you like the Toxic brand?

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

Just Watch love them , very comfortable, well made and great looking ! I have a bunch of BlueShark Natos as well but I like the hole spacing and length better on the ToxicNATOs Shiznit80 , try them I just ordered another grey in 20mm

[@JustWatchreviews]

cool, thanks Robert, I'll check them out!

[@mpcbsar]

Nice review

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks Marcus!

[@gregcushing1716]

Just got mine two weeks ago really enjoying it and aligned perfectly. Really like your red strap where can I get one? Nice video!

[@JustWatchreviews]

I purchased this one on Amazon, the company is Blue Shark, they have really nice hardware!

[@sparky6996]

Got one of these 3 days ago. I keep getting compliments on it...that's never happened before. Nice channel...subbed

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thank you, congrats on the watch!

[@Bulshitero]

Is this the same watch which is currently on amazon for $287?

[@JustWatchreviews]

I searched SRPA21 on Amazon and I only saw one option for $329

[@Bulshitero]

Yeah it is because i bought the last one for $287 yesterday i also bought the super jubilee strap. Your right i cheched today and the price has gone up to $329 glad i pulled the trigger as soon as i saw "last one at this price".

[@JustWatchreviews]

You scored a great deal!

[@stig5763]

That intro music is too in your face man. Almost offensive lol other then that great review of the watch 😊👍🏻

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks, I don’t use that music any more, haven’t for a while. Cheers!

[@stig5763]

Just Watch just noticed this one is rather old. Perfection comes with time 😄😄

[@VTheGuerrilla]

Great job!!!!

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thank you!

[@WuBloodKin09]

Great review excellent watch, fun to play with different straps for the summer! 👍

[@fattyacid1901]

Way to rock the red NATO.

[@camarocarl7130]

PADI is pronounced "PADDY" . Stands for Professional Association Diving Instructor. Not pronounced" POTTY". Great watch BTW.

[@jabbahursty]

why not just buy a new movement every x number of years instead of servicing? would seem both cheaper and better.

SEIKO 5 SPORTS WATER TOOM RESIST AUTOMATIQUE lani 2010

[@mb-watches]

Great review of my favorite watch, my became sort of my don’t worry Holliday piece and it’s easily dressed up or down. Get a dark blue nato, just got me one and a vintage mid brown strap, if your interested in, check out on my Channel, i made a small Review of them. I feel actually the same regarding bezel action and movement, the SE seems to be a bit more solid and accurate. Cheers, Konstantin

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

SEIKO 5 SPORTS

[@Tammockman]

Love mine, it has true character. I have had it for 12 months now, unfortunately it is a terrible time keeper gaining 10 minuets a week after close monitoring 😳 It’s on its way back to be calibrated. Great review.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks, that's really fast, typically it's a pretty easy adjustment for a competent watch maker. Did it get faster over the twelve months?

[@Tammockman]

It did, the crown to me doesn’t feel very positive & never has.

[@shawnchinnery663]

Looks pretty sweat on that nato....

[@davido3637]

Too many urms and arrrrs for me! It’s not 49mm lug to lug I don’t think

[@JustWatchreviews]

You don’t think, or you do?

[@michaelk487]

Cool

[@harrywren561]

It's surely a great watch, but the Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Military is head and shoulders above!

[@steffenlaufenburg]

no... The steinhart is just a Rolex clone with steinhart on the dial.

[@harrywren561]

@@steffenlaufenburg well I'm sorry I can't afford a rolex.

[@stan4097]

Nice watch, but I think the PADI Samurai B99K1 looks and fits better and this upload confirms it for me. The two tone lume on the Samurai looks better too.

[@MrBlewvane]

That's the SRPA21, not the SRPA21J1. If someone sold it to you as the JDM version you should ask for a refund.

[@8AP1]

Why would you think that? At 4:11 you can clearly see "Made In Japan" on the dial. Only on the J1 issues have that on the dial

[@MrBlewvane]

You should take a closer look. His one has MOV'T JAPAN printed on it, not "Made in Japan".

[@8AP1]

Mr Blewvane I believe you're right, I can just make out the apostrophe.

[@mrfuriouser]

You are incorrect- JDM models do, sometimes, say "Japan mov't" on the dial. Sometimes, it just says "Japan" alone. It does not always say the full phrase "made in Japan". Further, that wouldn't make any sense. Why would all the JDM market models have, in English, that full phrase for a population where only 10% of its people would understand the meaning? It isn't necessary. This is a JDM watch.

[@adamperks9113]

You're incorrect about "mov't Japan". JDM models ALWAYS have "Made In Japan" on the caseback and "Japan" or "Made In Japan" on the dial. "MOV''T" identifies where the movement was made, not where the entire watch was manufactured. I can tell you this first hand from the countless Seiko's I've owned and flipped. It's got nothing to do with making "sense" - you have inferred that yourself. If that's the case, wouldn't JDM releases just have Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana on the case back and no English at all? Also take a look at 8:35 and pause- you can clearly see Mov't Japan on the caseback again. This is 100% definitely not a J issue. If you can find any JDM release of any Seiko with "mov't japan" on the dial, I'll eat my words

[@ralphlouismendoza1977]

Not a JDM , get a refund if you bought this one. mov’t JAPAN writen all over it!

[@LanningKann]

Ralph Louis Mendoza The movement are all Japanese. No one cares where the rest of the watch is made.

[@davidcrandall4958]

You are comparing this watch to watches that cost twice it's price!

[@GunGlutton]
