Seiko is more important to many more people than Patek Phillipe in terms of how millions upon millions of people experience horology. The more you learn about the Seiko narrative, the more admiration one develops for the brand. The point is to consider how useful and endearing many even moderately priced Seiko references are. As far as the OEM bracelets are concerned, they are over maligned. However, any OEM strap and bracelet issues are readily remedied by a host of specialty suppliers like Uncle Seiko who offer straps and bracelets which elevate the Seiko watch experience to an amazingly high level of satisfaction.

[@bajanboi68]

Hi Britt, FYI the original 5 elements that made up the original Seiko 5 watches are as follows: an automatic movement, day-date display at the three o'clock position, water resistance, a recessed crown , and a case and bracelet built for durability. I hope that helps 😀

Never apologise for loving Seiko, the most manufacture manufacturer ever. BTW, what makes a Seiko 5 a 5 is adherence to the five principles: (from Hodinkee) There were 5 traits every Seiko 5 had: an automatic movement, a day/date window, significant water resistance for sporting activities, a crown at 4 o'clock, and durable case and bracelet(or strap).

They are literally beautiful - day/date, applied markers, perfect dial. My third one is a green dial aviator variant - crisp printing, lovely handset, etc. Their accuracy is ok once regulated. Yours in the video is the new fancy type, pick up some older generation ones for $100 each and learn the Seiko shuffle (since you can’t hand wind those)! They’re the best for reminding yourself what is accomplished in the first $100 of your $10k Rolex. It’s fun!! Seiko 5s are the only thing that makes sense in this hobby…

[@brianclebowicz2920]

Hi Britt. For people like me, who travel a lot and actually USE their wristwatch as a TIME reference, the difference between a "Desk/caller GMT" and "Traveller's GMT" is a BIG one. We just want to be able to EASILY switch the hour hand ahead or back in hour steps, with the date following along (forward or back) without stopping the secongs hand. Why? Because just after takeoff on a trip to a different time zone, I just pop the crown and move the hours hand forward or backward in discrete 1-hour increments BY FEEL without disturbing anything else. Then I'm ready to go for my next stop/connection - easy to do, hard to make a mistake. Try THAT on a darkened night flight with turbulence on a Desk GMT - Ack! Hard to do. Many watch companies, like Omega and just recently Seiko (on their GS line) realized that this is THE critical ability (jumping hours hand with following date) - the 24 hour hand is nice, but not critical at all. A desk/caller GMT requires a complete reset to really change timezones on the regular hours hand. It's an interesting complication, but not terribly useful, unless you sit at a DESK and are making a CALL to customer in ONE different time zone. Pretty limited. Of course, if you have a smart watch or phone, this is really irrelevent. But lets face it - if you're sporting a mechanical GMT watch of any type, you've already decided you like kinetic, mechanical jewelry. So much the better if its actually usefu!

About 7 months ago I bought a Pagani 1662 GMT for about 125€ to see how good the movement can be. Out of the box it was 15 seconds fast. I adjusted it over a period of a few days to see how accurate I can get it and it has been rock steady at less than +/- 0.25 seconds per day or +/- 7.5 seconds/month, that is not a type-o. So far it has held that for the past 6 months without missing a beat. You have to have them adjusted as I have done but if you are not afraid of getting into the movement I recommend it over paying $ 500 which is a chunk of change. Food for thought.

San Martin SN015 GMT has entered the chat LOL. Higher specs, and around $100 + dollars less in cost. It has a 4hz (ETA clone) movement, sapphire crystal, screw down crown, 200M water resistance, better overall finish of case and jubilee bracelet (with screws not pins), bi-direction bezel with click, anti reflective coating, super bright lume on dial AND bezel... I feel like there is more, but you get the idea.

I'm surprised how good it looks on your 5.5" wrist! The numbers aren't always everything. I'm constantly reminding myself of that.

Hi! Tell Expert Rockwell that you were referred for the right strategy on New Terra/UST, or to participate in other exciting projects. Thank you for the comments

I just wish they would put a screw down crown on it to bump the WR up. Basically you’d have a GMT SKX. A massive win.

[@watchpapi]

Why? Is 10 atm not enough? (I’m not being confrontational by the way, just interested)

[@maxstatic]

@@watchpapi it’s more the extra security of the screw down crown. The added WR would be a bonus.

[@watchpapi]

@@maxstatic I see, makes sense 👍🏽

I’d argue, you get more than what you pay for. The folks trashing Seiko bc micro brands “do it better for less” aren’t taking R&D into account. Without Seiko(or citizen etc), there is no micro brand alternative. I’ve got a Rolex in my collection that I’m in love with, but I adore my Seiko and Hamiltons. Great watches with so much character 🫶.

[@Conundrum191]

I like it, but think it is a shame Seiko didn't lume the bezel, and give it sapphire over hardlex for the price. That said, I'm interested to see what the sale price will be on this one in a year or two, and what microbrands will do with the NH34 once in their hands.

Never really liked the regular Seiko’s. The vintage King Seiko’s and Grand Seiko’s are great and I have owned them. This Seiko is good looking however. The hold back would be the bracelet as you and many others have said Seiko bracelet are not great. Great video Britt keep’em coming.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Right?! I feel the same. Seiko was never really my thing. I know they have a cult following and people who love them… i just wasn’t really one of them. But I really enjoyed this one! More than I thought! 😱💕

[@stefansstuff2290]

Wow! That’s a really nice watch! Especially on that nato strap, great review, thank you

Looks great Britt. Very tempting

[@timyoungnc]

Wish they’d make a 40mm version. Check out the Seiko Speedtimer for a review.

[@philiplauzon1743]

Nice watch although I’ve never been a fan of the cyclops lens. I’m probably going to add an SPB143 to my collection. I encourage you to look up on it as I’m convinced the proportions would also be better for your wrist. Going for a Seiko bong hit next week to check it out at AD 🥴

[@treegrasss]

I'm debating whether to get this Seiko 5 (SRPD51, non-GMT version) or Citizen's Promaster dive watch. both are amazing looking diver watches at an affordable price. can't go wrong with Seiko or Citizen !

[@BrittPearceWatches]

AHHH MAN! I've not seen the Citizen in person, but I gotta say.... I've got a real soft spot for the Seiko 5 now

[@giusepperocchi2979]

The Seiko is not a diver watch by any stretch of imagination.

[@TheTransitmtl]

Seiko 5 is my gateway into watch

[@mantisshadow8990]

As usual, you outdid yourself Gringa, fantastic video!

[@TROY2048]

“Sorry moon phase“ What a line 😂

[@AnPrionsaBeag]

I actually like this bracelet. It's the only one I kept in my whole watch collection.

[@fungus70]

Me too. I reckon the jubilee style bracelet really matches the case.

[@flymorenow]

Yea, me too. After watching this video I got out my great old SKX007 on jubilee and started wearing it again.

[@donulldh4785]

I am sold on this watch and it will be my first Seiko, but cannot decide over the black or orange.

[@johnquach9925]

Hey Brit, just wondering if you could do review on quartz seiko watches? I think it would be cool.
