I'm sorry but for a $1000 Aus watch, I'd be expecting the bezel to align.

[@Chiro75]

If it did, it wouldn’t be a real Seiko 😅

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@Chiro75 That's the way I make sure I have a legit Seiko too!

[@lookatwrist]

Great watch and great review. I'm thinking the pushers are water resistant even without closing them, just not if you push them. The locks prevent that from happening. Not positive on that. I love my SNJ025, this may be next. The new one doesnt strike me as better or worse, just a different option stylistically. The depth sensor is the new bit but we all know few will use it. I'd want to get the metal shroud and bracelet from the SNJ033, this dial and color combo is the one to get though.

[@NathanChisholm041]

I dont know why you dont have more viewers? I love your watch choices l'm a huge Citizen Promaster guy and think they offer some of the best value.

[@spirg]

Better than the 2019

[@PrivadaCigarClub]

Just got it for Xmas. Great looking watch! Very functional. Thank you for the review.

[@JRB33169]

Thank you for another great review.

[@gabrielbrosteanu8586]

I've watched a ton of reviews on the newest Arnie and I'm shocked that no one mentions this big difference. Especially if you wear the watch on your left, the pushers now being on the right side of the watch, are much easier to unscrew and operate with your right hand (as opposed to unscrewing the with your right hand on the previous model - which I do have). So that's is a big difference in ergonomics imo.

[@valengreymoon5623]

I think the dive function button should have been on the left side, as it probably won't get used much.

[@jackrohmer5539]

As long as you guys buy Seiko's flawed pieces they won't bother to correct the problems.

[@rodcouey2617]

I have an old 80's turtle diver that I have used to dive all over the world. My old 40 year old Turtle diver died in Fiji. When I got home I sent it back to Seiko to get it fixed. it cost $400 just to referb it. I saw the Padi and thought it would be a nice watch, as I do dive. So I got one. I like that it has a dive computer on it. I use my watch as a pack up to my dive computer so I have redundancy for safety. Having a dive computer not just a watch is cool. I cant wait to use it on a dive and check it with my SCUBA dive computer and see how accurate it is. The new band is so much better than the old bands more flex and comfort. thanks for your review.

[@garychowhm]

I think the older version looks better

Should have a water sensor so you don't have to unscrew the dive button while getting ready to dive and then screw it again before jumping in the water. I Scuba dive.

[@J.K.Barrik]

The biggest problem with these "more affordable" Seiko watches is the garbage Hardlex crystals, which scratch so easily compared to Sapphire and at this price, they should've been sapphire

[@edhammond6911]

I like the original way better. Thanks for the review.

[@richardshaw1968]

Non Padi versions have Solar on the dial. The bracelet versions look great.

[@tylovset]

Design-wise I like the old one with display on top (has that original Seiko look), but I admit/agree it falls in the shadow. The taller stretched slanted font also makes it look less Seiko, and more like Casio to me. (not that I dislike Casios in any way, I have plenty of them).

[@e28forever30]

The old version had an hourly chime. I assume this new version has that too.

[@rubensanmaurodelbosqur1950]

Bonito reloj Seiko. 🤩🤩⌚️⌚️

[@TJCoolTV]

Idk why they didnt make the digital screen light up, or does it ? Because when you're diving you're not gunna see depth without a light.

[@gabrielbrosteanu8586]

It does.

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

I like most everything about this watch EXCEPT for the Solar movement. Seiko should have stayed with their tried & true traditional Quartz movement. I do not like the Solar movements made by Seiko. Every Seiko Solar I have owned had issues beginning with the PADI SNE435 that I paid almost full price for when it first came out. The only Solar watches remaining in my collection are Citizen.

[@NathanChisholm041]

Sounds like you need a Promaster Eco-Drive buddy.

[@seanlin1202]

Don't know why they couldn't add a countdown timer to this like the original

[@gavster023]

I agree, although the original never had a countdown timer only Arnie prop watch had that timer and mini dials.

[@WristWatcher]

100% should have been a timer, and personally, I'd have liked a sapphire crystal.

[@stevenhill6978]

Awesome vid man! I have a weird question. Does your watch's digital dial randomly factory reset/shut off with exposure to bright light outside? Had to return my SNJ025 because of this issue and want to get the 035 but I'm worried the issue followed over. Thanks for the answer!

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Not that I know of. Yours might just have been a rare lemon.

Just ordered the new one today

[@gewglesux]

on the seiko site?

[@tomjohnson3610]

How's the watch?

[@solferino66]

Hi, is the digital watch screen a bit bigger than the 2019 arnies (which i found a bit small)?

[@gavster023]

Yas it is

[@rappers5719]

Band China?

[@adamski101]

What does the 'P' designate on the left of the digital.time?

[@gabrielbrosteanu8586]

PM

[@adamski101]

Can you change the digital time to 24hr and lose the am/pm?

[@gabrielbrosteanu8586]

@@adamski101 yep (did that myself haha)

[@SilverBackELTorro]

The SNJ025 is the better-looking one.

[@tonyalvarez5815]

Too much time showing the box dude. Way too much time. Its a box.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Lmao

[@enriquesotocastro7080]

Looks like a toy against a promaster aqualand

[@gavster023]

This is far more comfortable thou

[@micc10uten]

But you didn’t who us how to set the time

[@maverickwatchreviews]

That's what the manual is for.

[@JoseRCI57]

The Box Horribilis

[@jebstuart3]

How the heck do ya yack for over 2 FARGIN' minutes about a stinkin' box??

[@maverickwatchreviews]

I talked about it for literally 15 seconds. Put the bong down Spicoli.

[@jebstuart3]

@@maverickwatchreviews ......but you sold me on the watch!! Glad it's a SOLAR watch! Right now my G-SHOCK is solar. I like not having to worry about batteries. (.....and don't worry so much about a box next time. You obviously know a lot about bongs too.)

[@steveaustin9386]

Does it go into dive mode automatically when it goes below 1m in water?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Hey Stone Cold! No it doesn't but there are some Citizen Promasters that do that.

[@user-qt9su3zn6n]

Why so much time spent playing with the box? Please skip that bit in future.
