I got the SRPG37, put it on a quality vintage black leather strap. I am impressed, in reality this watch is just perfect. Looking at the reviews, I expected to be bothered by a few things: the thickness, the metal numbers with no lume (my plan was to lume them), the crown at 3, and the crystal. I was wrong about all, I could see it the instant I put it on my wrist, all the choices made sense, the way this watch wears and looks is just awesome. I would not change a thing. I’m a fan and owner of all the older Seiko field watches (and many many other Seikos) and I love them but I have tho say this is the nicest watch Seiko put out in the lower end since their SKX in 1996. I am blown away and never dreamed this would become my favorite watch.

I've had the khaki one for around a month now (UK) and I love it. At first I wasn't sure of the colour as I always think field/military = green or black but I love the colour combo on the face of the khaki one and prefer the inverted day/date. I reckon it would look gorgeous on a distressed brown leather NATO strap.

Great vid Marc! You answered a question raised from other reviews - the bracelet versions are partly polished cases which is too bad. Was going to get the black dial bracelet'd version and pop on a nato (while having the bracelet for those times I wanted to dress it up) but not interested in polished. That 2nd last one is going to be my next watch. Toss the leather and put it on a black nato and it's never going to leave my wrist, SRPG39.

Bought one--great watch. Slightly fast--the way it should be. Made in Japan--a definite plus. Better than Tissot which costs more money. Nato straps are the best--sweat into it a little in summer and it's more comfortable and more durable than leather. Right size, classic military 40 mm. Home run for Seiko.

Threw my SNK805 on a nice brown leather strap and it looks amazing, I would say one of my best-lookers. I would still go SNK-line if you really want to go Seiko... This is a great looking watch, but %150 surcharge is a lot for hacking, handwinding and the extra WR with no screw-down crown. Plus the SNK aesthetic is more interesting, still.

I really wanted to get back into watches about 5 years ago so after watching TGV and your channel among some others I decided it was definitely going to be a Seiko after considering an skx and a field watch I went with the SNZG15J1 and of course it's a "strap monster" so naturally I caught the nato strap bug and bought several different colours, the 2 different styles of Bond straps, a marine Nationale NDC, that TGV has a lot to answer for lol but now it's on a nice thick black rally style strap and that's the strap that has made the watch imo, I could not get the skx out of my system though so naturally I now own one of those as well, I say all that to say this lol, the watches on the leather straps are my favourite of the bunch
