SEIKO Arnie SNJ025 ProSpex Full Tutorial + Mini movie by WatchUP69

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

***If you don’t know me, then I better warn you that I have humour and love life with a few good laughs, probably my mini Predator movie gave it away, so when I say for ‘FREE’ it’s a joke, so calm down with the policing comments... Cheers***

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

@Yahir Bridger Yeah, the buttons a tiny, bit once you've worked it out, there's no going back... all CASIO's have some kind of testing screen, on some you can use 'A+B+C' and this is more on solar watches :)) Cheers!

Thanks for the tutorial, I just used it to set up my new Arnie. I absolutely love it! Subscribed! 👌

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

There’s a lot of confusion about using the pushers and their guards on the SNJ series of watches. It’s all down to a question of perspective. Here’s how they work: when turning a guard that surrounds a pusher, you are lowering or raising the guard. You are not lowering or raising the pusher, which does not move, except very slightly when pressed, and then it rebounds to its static position, which is where it always sits, whether you can see its colored ring or not. This is important to understand, so let me state it more clearly. The pushers are surrounded by steel guards, which are raised or lowered by screwing them closer to the case, or backing them out from the case. The pushers themselves always remain in the same position. These movable guards do this in a predictable fashion: turned to the right, they screw in, moving closer to the watch case, thereby exposing the pusher. Turned to the left, they unscrew, moving away from the case, thereby covering the pusher. The pushers are neither raised nor lowered. Hopefully this helps.

Oh God, thank you so much!!! I was just about to return the watch to the seller before I thought of looking up an online tutorial. This was so clear and explained in steps for 'techphobes' like me. Thank you!!!!

[@5jkeun]

one more feature that might save you some surprises is, when the battery is low, the second hand will move in 2 second increments. meaning it will move 2 seconds in a single 'tik'

LCD clause is just another example of Seikos ultra conservative service interval estimates. Look at the original Arnies, lcds went for decades without issue.

This video was awesome. Nice job on the mini movie. You deserve more subs and the video deserves way more views!!!

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

Only a few weeks ago this video was hitting 70'000 views, the channel had almost 8'000 subs and I was about to announce a 8000 special free prize draw..... then KZbin removed my channel for a video that wasn't even breaching any of their rules claiming I'm selling counterfeit... the video in question was an April fools joke, there was a legal complaint so guess my video was more believable than I first thought. So I will no longer mention that brand ever again and replace it with OMEGA instead, as far as I'm aware they're corrupt and cheat millions out of pocket, but most importantly they have no sense of fun, and I enjoy making it fun as you can see... so am starting from zero again, which is exciting, as usually you don't get to live this a second time, and I enjoy making videos, even if it's for my own pleasure LML :-P Working on a video that hasn't been covered properly at all, just a few videos that don't say a word, or take over half of the video before the watch is shown... not knocking them, as that's their style, but I want details and all that geek attraction :)) Thanks for finding me, will sub you back and support with watching your content, unless you're terrible at it LML :-P Have lost much of my content, but will upload older content between new videos just to add.

Thank you for an excellent instruction film. I needed it. It is very easy to get addicted to this watch that wears much smaller than its size. The only complaint I have is that the alarm signal should have been louder.

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

Cheers for your feedback my friend :) The alarm is still a hint louder than any of my G-Shocks, but this is the problem with 200m watches... better with a ((VIBE)) motor inside! I was hoping for a Timer, but hey, can set the alarm for this :) Thanks again :))

Hey buddy... I did say it was louder, and you've just confirmed that :) The lug to lugs are perfectly sized, and it's the pushers and crown that makes it look bigger than it is, but it does wear perfectly for most wrist sizes... cheers for the feedback my friend, and enjoy a iconic remake :))

[@KillingMoon_]

Thanks for the video! I wanted the hourly chime on! Got a new arnie!

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

The hourly chime is set in home time or date by pressing both pushers... only issue for me with this SEIKO, is the stopwatch, you can't view the LCD at night without amending the stopwatch which means the backlight doesn't come on, other than than that, it's perfect :))

[@KillingMoon_]

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman agreed. I was thinking g shock can make 200m without screw down so why not use that same technology 🤔. Either way this watch is nice!

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

@@KillingMoon_ The screw down is to prevent the crown from being pulled, might get snagged on some weed or tackle and I'm sure you can imagine the possibilities of issues that could arise from that.... screw down pushers is really to prevent unnecessary button presses, I keep my buttons unscrewed even, if in the shower for an example, and I'm not sure in a realistic world if anyone would use this for true diving... for me it has been fully tested to the iSO requirements, meaning every watch with Diver's on the dial, has been tested, whereas those watches that print 200m, haven't been individually tested, and aren't anywhere tested to iSO Diver's rated.... they could possibly pass the iSO testing, but this takes time, that adds cost and people won't want to spend $400 on a micro brand Diver's watch.... the testing is very harsh, and it has to be built correctly too, as it could be used as a part of Diving equipment. The SNJ025 does have a small dial, and for me this is just a little too small, but knowing it's Diver's rated, means it'll take all the hot tubbing you can throw at it :-P I bought this more for the looks, as the original wouldn't be worn as much and left in the dark down to being more fragile and spare parts aren't easy to find. I have since modded mine a little, nothing extreme, but it's now got a twist closer to the original... I will get to making a short video about it :) It is an iconic look, and if you didn't know, it was first featured in James Bond... it wasn't worn by him, but one of the stuntmen was wearing it... Watch Crazy did a great video on it, as I loaned him my SNJ025.... cheers :)

Cheers buddy... I originally posted this video on my first channel when it was released, and I think I was second with the view count next to Long Island Watches, but still there isn't a full detailed tutorial showing everything, so reading comments like yours is a real boost to what I'm doing :) Chinese or not, it's without doubt a brilliant SEIKO, and feel this too could become a classic... now, will Arnie use it if he makes Predator 29???

[@Phil5150Bower]

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman The videos are awesome bud keep them up they definitely make KZbin worth watching. The watch is awesome just curious about the water resistance in regards to screwing the buttons down to avoid accidental pressing as the original 150m didn’t have the issue. This watch and the solar golden tuna Seiko are definitely gems on the Seiko line up, what’s your thoughts on the Emperor Tuna as I was considering picking up a 1978 Golden Tuna reissue?

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

@@Phil5150Bower Cheers again my friend, you are really making me feel king LML :-P Now, the screw down buttons is to prevent button presses and at depths this can be something of a disaster... now there are 200m Diver watches that have push buttons, and the GWF-D1000 Frogman is a fine example, so why the screw downs, maybe for those with OCD??? I can understand the crown being screw down as this sits on a thin crown stem, and can be knocked and cause a leakage into the watch, but with the o-rings used this really should keep water out. I don't worry about screwing the pushers down on my SNJ025 when using it daily, and even in the shower or swimming, and to be honest it's not the watch I would use for diving, simply because the dial is too small, but for a hard wearing usable watch that can take to the waters then it's perfect... now if using it in mud, sea and lakes, then I would screw the pushers down because I'd rather not have traces of human turds trapped between LML :-P Now, have you see that channel where they have a 3000m pressure chamber? I would like to see the difference with the crowns screwed in and not???? That Emperor Tuna, either new or original looking is nuts on the price, and I feel it would also be something that would make you wear it with caution! I'm not at all into the ProSpex logo, and it seems it's no longer used in limitations, and if I could, would remove it off my SNJ025 so it looks more to the original, but that's just me. I didn't like it on my Turtle SRP779 so replaced the dial with an SKX007 none Japanese version, as it doesn't show the jewels on the dial, as the Turtle is 24 and the SKX is 21, yeah a fine detail, but wanted to keep it like original. I like the Emperor but not a SEIKO I would invest in... maybe look at the secondary market to see how much they lose or gain, and that would decide if it's worth the plunge :-P It's all opinions, and if it's something you like and want, then that's your choice, as long as it makes you happy :)) Hope that helps you my friend, and cheers for the boost again :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I've watched about a dozen reviews of this watch tonight. I'd love an original but impossible to find a descent one, and they are all more money than this new. I would say I'll likely buy one (unlike the Rolex Daytona I am looking for, these can be found, bought, and even at a discount!). Perhaps the biggest turn-off is the "made in China" (which yes, likely assembled there only), and the fact it is quite larger than the original - as the original was large to begin with. But yeah, I think I am going to have to pick this one up! :D Intro was fun! Cheers!

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

@@English2Elvish Good to watch other reviews, and maybe seeing someone chasing a purple alien in their garden wasn't something you were expecting, but it give you an idea how it wears in a different style :) Big topic on this new Arnie... first is the 'Made in China' well if this is an issue then you better give up on 80% of things that you use day to day with regards to devices, as this is very likely yo have China involved... now China does make some poop, but they also makes very fine things too, and look at their history to what they've given us, absolutely madness if anyone ignores that amount of input... maybe the gunpowder wasn't the best idea, but we must thank them for fireworks if anything... now, it's very likely this is for tax reasons being stamped 'Made in China' but the overall build and quality is SEIKO and more... it's an expensive watch for sure, maybe it should be around £300 the most, but as Arnie made this watch more tempting than most, then blame the Austrian who maybe have a Chinese connection? So once past that, you may be looking at the 'FREE' display given after 7yrs, yes that's me joking with 'FEE' to read as 'FREE' well this is actually across all LCD screens, as 7yrs is it's top life, and after that it's all down hill, but this downhill isn't steep at all, and it could be as steep as 40yrs... but the Japanese are so proud and want to be honest that they mentioned this, maybe I should've kept quiet, but it was in the book and nobody else showed this probably because they're getting paid to keep hush... but with me, I buy my watches and am not sponsored, as I'm sure I would be told off for blowing up an alien using a NURF :-P I was on the hunt for the original, and when this was announced I backed down and waited, and my good guys from my watch shop got me it ASAP and I was impressed... I did a review of them both just to add... but with the new version it feels it can be treated more harshly without that worry of breaking the original, as parts are very hard to find, especially the shroud which usually cracks, so likely it'll be soon. before it does crack even if it's all original. I love it and enjoy it even more now it's on leather for some fun... drilled lugs makes strap replacements easy, and module is joined with digital and the quartz side... solar driven and it's a 200m Diver's rated watch, not just a fancy use of 200mtrs... the 'Made in China' is on the back which is hidden anyway. Maybe look for a secondary deal so at least they've paid the taxes for you :-P And just to add, that many Swiss brands use this 60/40% which is almost 50%... so I'd rather buy a watch based on truths than myths :)

Great video, Brother, I like it.. Btw, I have an issue with my SNJ. Its battery has lost its capacity to store the power. When I bought it several months ago, the power indicator showed a very low power reserve. So I exposed it to sunlight, and it was charged well to the max. But not for long, the power reserve kept dropping, no matter I always kept it exposed to any lights. I guess the watch was stored way too long in the dark at the watch shop, now the battery lost its recharging capability completely. I already bought the new battery (exactly the same spec, rechargeble battery, not the silver oxide one), but I don’t know the proper procedure to replace it. FYI, I usually replace the batteries of my gshocks by myself (guided by proper tutorial from KZbin of course). But I couldn’t find tutorial for this spesific movement. Seiko Service Center is way too far from my town. Can you help me, Bro? Thank you...🙏🙏

I had the original. I have the new one but I must admit I'm pissed that it's made in China. Watch Crazy told me this was Atomically Controlled and I was like eh? My new Arnie has been sitting on my desk for quite a while and when I looked at it, it was an hour off. I mentioned this to Watch Crazy and he said turn of the DST. I've not seen anything about this model that says it receives signal from the nuclear clocks so I'm tending to think this is bollocks but I thoughts I'd ask you as you did such an in depth tutorial.

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

Well going more deep into this and this wasn't so much said directly, but the facial expressions was all I needed, and this came from a certain SEIKO shop in London.... so it comes down to TAX, and if Japan make the parts for the new SNJ, and ship them to China, then it's classed as parts, which has a different TAX compared to a complete watch, and with how SEIKO build they aren't jeopardising their name to make poor quality, so basically it's like a English mechanic building USA Harley Davidson... or a French guy assembling a Swiss BOLEX watch, as long as it reaches the tolerances, it doesn't matter... just look at your SNJ with eyes closed, and tell me that's not Japan quality??? The re-issue Arnie to me is very well done, only side I don't like, is the overuse of ProSpex, this is just a load of nonsense and false marketing, at first it offered something more special, now nearly every SEIKO is ProSpex :-P So into the module, it's quartz, a good quartz to add, as SEIKO do make their own quartz, but it will have a loss or plus of 15±secs per month, which is normal... it doesn't have Atomic Sync Radio, so it's all manual, but it does have solar power and power save... there is no DST, you have to manually set the hour back, and the great part, is that the digital is connected with the analog side :) I feel you need to pull yourself away from those who mock China saying they make crap, well all countries make crap, but when hanging on a brand, then it's all down to profits, and using a cheaper country labour system is all about business... look how Switzerland use SWISS MADE where it can be 40% made outside of Switzerland, yet so many fool for the 100% thinking.... judge a watch by value, if that SNJ was assembled in Japan, then expect a price of £899 at least, and to me the SNJ is really worth £300-£350 the most... so don't punish it, Made in China is just a stamp, and to think, the very thing you used to type your comment is very much likely to be made in China, especially iPhones :-P Hope that helps you my friend :)

For a fee not free

I was almost buying one, not even put off by the 7 year display life, but when I read that there is no countdown timer, which is a huge disappointment, that made my mind up not to bother.

[@WatchUP69MrRangeman]

A countdown timer would've made it great, but they obversely wanted to follow closely to the original... but a Timer would've made a great addition I agree :))

* for a FEE, ..... NOT for free! Can’t you read?

[@felixpalyja3883]

"They will replace it for a FEE." Not replace it for "FREE"...! Read again.

It's called 'My Humour' and don't be so rude... just be normal, as humans make mistakes if you haven't noticed... just calm down, nobody has died, and if you watch my channel, you'll know I mock and joke :) So the long short story, that 7yr time span is how all LCD panels go, doesn't mean it needs replacing, but if you're sensitive and want it as new as factory, then they recommend this time scale... it's just how Japan are, they want to be open.... so I just took it as a joke and pretended it was for FREE... we all know that wouldn't happen.... please go easy on the rest of my content, I do this a lot... cheers!

I had the chance to buy for £350 ... but changed my mind when i saw it in person. Just found it a bit light and cheap feeling ... not the solid watch I expected, like a GShock steel for example. Very disappointed.
