Seiko Arnie Comes Back. . . Again!

[@mountainmanwatchreviews8081]

As a seiko fan and a bodybuilding fan I need this in my life.

[@islandwatch]

Awesome.

[@jamespalsson746]

"It's Not a Tuna!"

[@islandwatch]

LOLOL

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]

Bahahaha! Get to da choppa!

[@matrixmirage2148]

,,You kids are soft. You lack discipline. Eetz taym naow, to turn this MUSH into MUSCLES. No more complaining, no more "Mr. Kimble, I have to go to the bathroom", NOTHING! _THERE _*_IS NO BATHROOM!!!!!!"_*

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]

Geezus I laughed out loud...

[@jamesg4670]

Wonderful lmao

[@Nicebuoy666]

Thanks Mark. Greets from Australia.. Love the Olive Arnie

[@frankkollar2278]

Yeah I agree it is very cool how it wakes up and adjusts the hands I can see playing with that repeatedly

[@islandwatch]

Every morning for sure.

[@TXTime1010]

Just discovered these; adding to my budget grails list! Great video, Marc!

[@AutumnVillain]

that's the best clock i've ever seen

[@darthkek1953]

When lightning strikes it it gets used as a plot device in Back to the Future.

[@mickyzzzeee]

In a world full of over inflated priced rolexes and RMs...this is a beast

[@bobshore9529]

Nice video, I still have my original "Arnie" I bought for myself in the mid 80's. Still works but I'll be getting the new black diver "Arnie" just to come full circle and round out the collection.

[@Postmortumaz]

My new Arnie arrived today. Another perfect order from Mark. Thanks.

[@jefe272]

Just ordered the tan from you...great stuff as always!

[@1valg]

They are definately growing on me! At first I thought the digital display on top looked a little off but the more I look at it, the more I like it! Nice review :-)

[@islandwatch]

You and me both!

[@capt_kushal6434]

Built like tank man ! Absolute ripper ... bang for the buck

[@ArniesTech]

Being an Arnie myself, I need this!!! 💪🤣

[@kibavlood5826]

Mark stay safe and take care dude. We love your content and you as well. Stay safe.

[@garyshepherd9226]

I agree - what a cool feature in coming back to life - I guess all us watch nerds just love similar things because I said "that's so cool" as soon as I saw it.

[@islandwatch]

My favorite feature about it.

[@nolanolivier6791]

Hehe... been drooling over these for a while now. But you definitely earn your thumbs up for the 'I'll be back' quip...

[@islandwatch]

Haha, thanks.

[@zHumanfactor]

Love the Arnie's Marc. Seiko finally did a remake well. I need to get one of these. Thanks for keeping us aware!

[@islandwatch]

You bet!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

These 2 watches are absolute beauties!! Thanks for another great video Mark! Miguel

[@islandwatch]

Glad you like them!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

These are amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@bigmeany1184]

I just received mine today! I bought it for $300 on eBay and I couldn’t be happier. I alternate between the Arnie and the G Shock Mud master with the 3 sensors. The best pair in my opinion.

[@johnsoncalvin8851]

I've got the black with Rose Gold accents and LOVE IT !!!😁 It has actually replaced my analog 1980 Seiko Divers Automatic Turtle. 😪

[@JC-xk6gv]

Hi Mark, great video but I have a question if I may. I'm new to collecting watches and I love Seiko so I saw a a video where someone pointed out that the Seiko Arnie digital display has a short life span and will need replacing this is also mentioned in the booklet so does this apply to the newer SNJ029P1 which is now a couple of years old as I'm looking to buy as used one in great condition. Thanks.

[@tedblack2415]

That Islander rocks!

[@islandwatch]

Thank you

[@Kiwi_Dad]

This is the absolute coolest thing, I'm in loooooooove. You have no idea how lucky you guys in the wider world are, anything like this in New Zealand is not only hard to find but a crap tonne more expensive. Haha so a massive thanks for shipping overseas!

[@weerobot]

"Get to the Choppa..!!"

[@islandwatch]

Gotta!

[@jefferyneu3915]

That keeper will actually slide up onto the corrugated part of the strap. I, too, have smaller wrists. Sliding the keeper up that far has two advantages. It goes to the end of the stub sticking out AND holds it more tightly, reducing the risk of the tail slipping out. Keep up the great Marc!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for the info!

[@jefferyneu3915]

Long Island Watch It’s the least I can do, given all you do for the EIS community!👍

[@theoraclemusicgroup5283]

Mark - I have an H357-5200 but can't find any info on it. It was the pre Arnie from '82 - differnt mvmt but same ana-digi style minus tuna can. Why does noone have info on this watch??

[@spacejockey9223]

Remember Seiko when I said the SNJ028 would be the last watch I get from you? I lied.

[@Butik1]

Marc, sorry I might have missed it - is it possible to show different timezone on a digital display? You said the digital time is tied to analogue, but swapping through functions - can we offset the time on digital and display something else?

[@willeam1986]

Hey Mark, great video as always. Could you confirm the colours of the seconds hands on these? The khaki looks orange and the green looks red?

[@raymaxwell2940]

i bought the Ebike vtuvia in camo as seen with Arnie riding it maybe i should get this watch to strap beside control panel lol the tan one looks good maybe a camo Nato strap 🤔

[@alexgolpe2092]

Its look really really great brother! 👌 Wow ! My favorite diver watch.. 🤩😎🤠👍

[@islandwatch]

Thank you so much 👍

[@alexpalma3244]

I like it! But I think I like the black and dial with the “dots” better.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you

[@chasefinney7637]

I love these watches. But 500 plus for hardlex, you've got to be kidding! I like Sieko and Citizens design but some of there spec to price ratios are ridiculous.

[@islandwatch]

Understood.

[@stusims6567]

If it goes to sleep when the lights are off, what good is the lume? What if you need the watch in the dark?

[@That3DPrintGuy]

1:38 hahaha I starting to think Marc's bedroom talk goes something like 'Oh baby put on that Seiko and Turn On the lights..oh yeah'.....................

[@islandwatch]

dirty talk!

[@mrsauce3102]

Hey Marc! A bit off topic but when you plan on restocking on the white dial Islander 38mm?

[@squarestanley]

“Feels great in the hand…” *Floss, is that you?*

[@nickfoster3637]

Really like your Islander watch. Would you ever consider doing a bronze version?

[@islandwatch]

Not at this point.

[@robkoosh]

how big is dial?- inner diameter of bezzel. because the new tuna is 47mm but without shroud it is a 40mm. just worried it would be too small. thx

[@richardharris8273]

Does Long Island Watch replace the LCD when it needs it in seven years?

[@istvantoth7431]

Awesome 💪💪💪

[@islandwatch]

Thanks ✌️

[@driverfish7277]

Hi Mark. Will you be getting the blue islander back in stock?

[@islandwatch]

Yes I am!

[@woonfaseng8737]

mark . can u do a islander improved skx equivalent but red bezel and red dial ... please. 42 mm or 40mm

[@Not-an-ahole]

Wanna know something funny... this isn't the only watch he wore in the Predator. Skip to 1:23:49 The watch he has on there looks to be something with a leather racing strap on it. Mostlikely worn during reshoots... check it out yourself lol

[@LS1007]

Nice looking but I like the hands on the previous model better. Thanks for sharing them Marc! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@islandwatch]

Right on

[@samnasheve]

Cool guy knows his stuff 😎👍

[@mizretry]

The sleep feature reminds me of the elegante.

[@LeeePowers]

Is the "self booting" a feature specific to Arnie? Or is it an across the board Solar thing? Thanks in advance.

[@khronokraze]

These look great on new color options. I like how the indices are different from the earlier release and rectangular.

[@islandwatch]

Glad you like them!

[@tacticoolgent1784]

OD green & FDE, love it!

[@islandwatch]

Yup!

[@rickewilde]

So just to check..can the digital display show a second time zone independent of the analogue display. Giving you two times at one glance?

[@islandwatch]

Yes, you can. Page 30 of the manual.

[@rickewilde]

@@islandwatch thank you. Appreciate the reply.

[@royshaft]

i just can't stop thinking that it's upside down . Cool wake up though !

[@gorflunk]

My Casio Wave Ceptor "springs into action" like that , has a small LCD screen too, and cost less than a hundred bucks.

[@gazthomson8619]

Arrrh bro really after this watch but I cannot decide I already have the original reissue paddy but wont them all i guess ,,,good vid buddy ,,,good info

[@dn963]

Schockproof?

[@MrChrisBrant]

Great demo for the "Arnie". Thanks ! Additionally, your white-dialed Islander is pretty cool. I'd think that the white dial would lend itself to a "PanAm" motif quite well. Is a ceramic "Pepsi" bezel insert available for the Islander ?

[@islandwatch]

Yes, it is

[@WizardWatch]

I love this Arnie's they look very cool and special compare to the older models

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!

[@glenncross956]

What's better, that crystal or sapphire glass?

[@TheSH1N1GAM1]

They each have their advantages. Sapphire is more scratch resistant, but Hardlex is more shatter resistant (and less expensive).

[@Guns7469]

It's de party poopa!!

[@islandwatch]

LOL

[@gunnerman1880]

Loving that model so cool 😋

[@peterbdavies]

I have asked this question before but so far I haven't been able to get a definitive answer. The manual states that the digital display needs to be replaced every 7 years. Is that really the case? If it was I can't believe these would sell.

[@islandwatch]

Seiko performs it for free.

[@peterbdavies]

@@islandwatch Interesting. In the manual it states "They will replace it for a fee."

[@jbbrabant]

Hi Marc, How about the Pepsi PADI versioned are the bezel & shroud the same as the green & black models in your video? I’m debating if I will buy the Pepsi as I collect Pepsi’s. I have the 009, the Seiko Prospex SRPA21J1 PADI Turtle, the Tudor GMT Pepsi so Arnie would round out my Pepsi heart throbs. I’m assuming the H851 is a reliable movement?

[@islandwatch]

Same shroud, just different colors. The movement, thus far, has been pretty slick.

[@winstonchurchill4389]

Hey Mark when you getting the new 40mm bezeless Seiko 5

[@islandwatch]

It's in stock now.

[@Makindealz]

Marc is it true that the digital display had to be replaced after 7 years

[@u-8743]

Replying as an owner of the new Arnies. The manual says basically after 7 years it is possible (not certain) the screen may have fading issues. If that is even true we cannot say because the re-issues are out less than 7 years. However there are original Seiko arnies out there whose screens are just fine. As a watch collector I'd say it is Seiko covering themselves IN CASE it happens. Like how Casio severely underestimates the battery life.

[@felipec2157]

Marc you should take off the shroud and see how it looks and wears.

[@islandwatch]

The shroud makes the watch, IMO.

[@JuanCheeto]

Can you set 24hr time on the digital display?

[@islandwatch]

Yes.

[@adrianmorris3772]

Great watch,Marc. Are you still able to get hold of the skx series? Thanks for sharing your video, best regards 😆😺

[@islandwatch]

Still have the 007 and 009J's.

[@theguardian3431]

I find these to be really cool!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks.

[@danielhoiljr6383]

Mine says made in china, is that normal? I bought the Safarnie model.

[@SSN515]

Yep. Most Seikos are made in China now, with movements made in Malaysia. Even the "made in Japan" Seikos merely have a "on site" Japanese QC inspector to get the "Made in Japan" status according to METI regulations. The top end (and very expensive) Seikos are the only ones now made totally in Japan.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Thanks for the nice video, Marc.

[@islandwatch]

My pleasure!

[@anthonycastelluci9225]

Great watch! Is this Arnold when he was in Predator?

[@michaelmetler6315]

Commando

[@islandwatch]

Commando, yup.

[@anthonycastelluci9225]

@@islandwatch Oh, yeah yeah. Great watch in a bad film. Happens! Now I have to find out what he wore in Predator.

[@Phil5150Bower]

Anthony Castelluci He wore the original black model watch in Commando (excluding the prop face model for plot and storyline), Predator and Raw Deal it was his own personal model he also wore the watch at the beginning of the Running Man.

[@milaweitz]

@@Phil5150Bower It's looks like there are more mentioned movies in TGV video - "Arnold Schwarzenegger's Most Iconic Watch - A Review Of The Seiko "Arnie" H558-5009 Divers Watch". (It was worn in no less than 5 movies" Raw Deal 1986, Running Man 1987, Predator 1987, Twins 1988, and Commando 1985 - debut).

[@loganholmberg2295]

I so want one of these but I need to find a decent deal to justify it to my pocket book. 😅 Missed a really good deal on BF but hopefully I'll find one again this year....😞

[@brockphilips1189]

the hands and indices look different from the PADI

[@DmitriyKretov]

Oh I’m in love, do want!

[@islandwatch]

Woohoo!

[@humansrants1694]

I have the Arnie I think this looks better still good to have one like the original though.

[@LAVA1980]

I love these watches! I think it's sized the same as the "baby tuna" ...the srp637? I have a 6.75" wrist as well.....I owned the srp637 and the blue Padi variant breifly....too big for me.....sold them both.....if these were sized like the original Arnie I'd be all over them.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for the info!

[@Mark-P]

Arnie comes back! Where’s he been?

[@islandwatch]

Politics.

[@get2themetal]

What is the weight of these watches?

[@islandwatch]

I didn't weigh one, but they aren't heavy. Lighter than you'd think they would be.

[@jeremy8715]

Both are 😍

[@Boblw56]

It works great in the “chungle!”

[@CasaLobo77]

this is a different arnie variant but very nice!

[@milchpuder]

great looks The hands look a tad short though...

[@islandwatch]

Ok!

[@p.j.mendes]

Arnold himself said.....I'llllll be back....

[@jeremy8715]

Long Island Watch i need a aftermarket bracelet for my skx 011 orange boy that i just got from you. Do you like the jubilee or oysters best?

[@nineteenninetyfive]

I don't like how the digi is slave to the analogue display. My eyes don't know which one they want to look at. If they were set at different times I could see the point...

[@islandwatch]

You can do that too.

[@tonyhoward7840]

the Seiko's are cool, but the white dial islander is awesome, my next watch will be that islander

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!
