Seiko Kinetic PADI Diver SUN065

[@KRW628]

I've had my SUN019 (black face, bracelet) for a month, and it is a serious if not polarizing piece. LARGE. Crazy wrist presence. Crazy heavy. Insane pretty finish. It's as tooly a tool watch as you're going to find. If you like a serious diver, you'll probably like this. Charging it. If you wear it normally thru the day, it will charge enough to run over night and be ready to go the next day. I wasn't about to shake this bastidge 30-40 thousand times to juice it up, so I bought the Seiko kinetic watch charger (can be expensive) which will do the job in as little as 4 hours (depending on the state of the power reserve). It's not for everybody. It works for me. I LIKE it.

[@JustBlueFish]

I had read that there are charging devices you can get for thses, but I didn't want to mention it in the review because I didn't know anything about them. Can you not toss a Kinetic on a watch winder like you'd use for an automatic watch I wonder?

[@TheGeoShocker]

JustBlueFish No, you can't charge kinetic watches with automatic winders, unfortunately.

[@KRW628]

Fish - normal watch winders won't work on these (I bought one... nothing happened). The kinetic chargers work by induction. They generate an electric field which energizes the power cell in the watch. The Seiko charger (they say it's the only one which will work) is rather expensive; I caught one on sale from a guy in Greece who was unloading his kinetic watch gear. It was worth it, I've got 2 Seiko kinetics. Oh yeah... anybody need a like new watch winder? Used only 3 times.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for the info on the watch winders, I was curious about that.

[@jojobinks0230]

One remedy to the long strap is to coil it in the bottom of a cup, pour hot water in and let it cool. This gives the rubber a permanent curve so the extra length hugs the strap closely.

[@JustBlueFish]

Cool tip thanks that's helpful.

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

The last of the great kinetic divers

[@vincentcalcopietro6970]

That’s a beast of a watch love it

[@454blazer3]

I had to replace the capacitor after owning for 2 years, but apperently its an upgraded one and will last alot better. Great watch.

[@tezzanewton]

I’m in Australia and I ordered one of these off amazon on the weekend. Can’t wait to get my grubby paws on it.

[@JustBlueFish]

Nice, congrats and enjoy it.

[@coreywick7969]

Great video! Just picked this watch up for $314.00 out the door, it's BIG but fits the wrist smaller than you would expect.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching, enjoy the watch!

[@edvargas72]

Great review Mate!!! I own 2 ... yes they’re large, heavy, loud and in your face..... by far the biggest divers I own and I love them both.... !

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks Edgar, glad you liked the review.

[@firemanlazz]

I love mine but same problem of size with my 6.5” wrist. Other than that it fits comfortably fit it’s size.

[@barrygrimmett6394]

Great review! Bought one!

[@MyWatchTherapy]

Thank you JustBlue! I was swinging the crap out of mine and it only got to 10 when I pushed the upper crown. I thought it was broken!

[@azkafiyamuhammad1355]

U deserve more subscriber sir. Very good review.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks I appreciate that.

[@Taller58]

Best review!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks James

[@jeanlefranc3817]

I have the worldtimer Seiko Kinetic SUN067, which comes in a more reasonnable 42 millimeter case size. Surprinsingly, the date window is located at 3 o'clock, so I assume Seiko has different versions of this Kinetic movement. Great video, as usual.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching. I wasn't aware they had a smaller SUN Kinetic model. That's very cool.

[@biggles54321]

I like GMT watches. I have a Seiko kinetic dress watch, an SRN051P1. Thanks for the review.

[@ericfreutel8240]

gorgeous watch. thank you.

[@Pablodwnunda]

I have tiny wrists and also I work in the Navy. I am not a diver. So yeah I will get some serious shit from divers if I buy this. Oh I did buy it Muhahahahahaha

[@checksix_TC]

People also buy Ferraris who are not professional race car drivers! 🤣

[@petarbabic335]

Battery and capacitor lasts for about 10 years and not cheap to replace. Other than that it's awesome watch

[@tonyromano2391]

I had a SUN019 and sold it after 2 years of ownership. I found it too heavy on a bracelet. Guess what? I regretted selling it as soon as it was picked up. Really missed the watch Just bought the Blue Padi and I am happy again. So much lighter on the rubber strap. Last of the great Seiko divers. Hello my good old friend.

[@driver3025]

I bought this watch.great peice. But my skin is allergic to the silicone strap.hence I had to replace the strap. Still looks great..

[@janreeves5443]

When I got my new Kinetic Baby Tuna it inky had a charge indication of 5 seconds. After wearing it for two days and a serious effort at hand shaking to get the power level up the best I can do is 20 seconds. After about ten minutes this power level drops to 10 seconds. Does it just take a while to get these watches up to full power and the power unit to "stabilize"? Perhaps I'm just being paranoid since this is my first experience with a kinetic timepiece.

[@JustBlueFish]

Sorry I'm not entirely sure. I'd wear it daily for a week or two and if it never hits full charge I'd call Seiko.

[@MyWatchTherapy]

When I bought mine I shook it like crazy wouldn't hold a charge. Had to bring it back to where I bought it and they replaced the capacitor, fixed it instantly. I have no idea why an unused brand new watch whatever have a aged capacitor already.

[@MrDanijelho]

I like the sound of rotor just like my citizen ny0040

[@bulbhorn]

Nice watch. Thank you.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks man, hope you enjoyed the review.

[@bulbhorn]

JustBlueFish I did. You did the usual through and great job. Thank you.

[@chr1s60]

Man, you're on a Seiko reviewing roll right now. This is an interesting one. I'm not really sure how I feel about the look of it. It looks like a tank! I do like the kinetic movement, despite never having owned one. Kind of a nice middle ground for someone scared to jump to a mechanical watch.

[@JustBlueFish]

I know I've been very fortunate to have had several loaned to me recently. I have a Cocktail Time and a SARG still to review, not to mention a sweet Hamilton.

[@Hyperborean_2]

It looks like an Audi RS6 Performance

[@georgecchouchlias2965]

Τελικά το SSC7P181 και μου άρεσε και δεν μου άρεσε αλλά θυμάμαι το πρώτο μου ρόλοι το CASIO ακόμη υπάρχει τα lap time κυριαρχούν ξυπνητήρια μέρες ώρες δευτερόλεπτα !

[@davidphillips7255]

The last time I checked; my Kinetic was one second fast a month.

[@janreeves5443]

Any idea why this watch seems so large? If you compare the actual dimensions with a new Turtle (SRP777 or 779) the diameter is 48 vs 44, thickness the same and as I recall the weight of the two watches without a bracelet or strap is pretty close.

[@JustBlueFish]

I don't know, it does wear really big. I don't think I could wear it as a daily watch but it's nice.

[@WuBloodKin09]

Good stuff as always...wonder if you'll do a review of the SRP637 Baby Tuna?!

[@JustBlueFish]

I don't think I'd purchase one so it would have to be a loaner. Would like to check one out though.

[@TheGeoShocker]

I have the SUN019 which comes with a bracelet. I'm contemplating getting a SUN065, swap the rubber strap from it to my 019, and wear the 065 with bracelet. This way the 019 will look all business with the rubber dive strap while the 065 can be my fancy watch due to its striking blue parts complimented by the blingy bracelet.

[@JustBlueFish]

Not a bad idea. The 065 would be really nice on a bracelet.

[@razalyismail7180]

I want a steel bracelet where can i get one thanks please reply

[@ats7485]

Wow! It does seem like a tank. What are the markings on the side of the case?

[@JustBlueFish]

I don't know why the side of the case was carved out that way. No other button under the crown.

[@ats7485]

This watch is still speaking to me. I'm going to have to try one on, somewhere.

[@MyWatchTherapy]

Does anyone know where this watch is made? It says the movement is Japan, but what about the watch itself?

[@liadijkstra9614]

I have the all Black one sun 045 and because it's all black it looks like it wears smaller..

[@JustBlueFish]

Nice, how are you enjoying it?

[@liadijkstra9614]

JustBlueFish Watch Reviews i like it a lot and no problem with charging.

[@tinman9713]

I may pick this watch up soon for about $425.00 is it worth this price? Thanks

[@JustBlueFish]

Sounds like a good deal. Enjoy it.

[@bnick25352535]

Tin Man around 370-380 on ebay easily find thats including shipping thru a reliable seller

[@brentyodad]

Anybody know the band width for this in particular? If i pull the trigger on one ill likely replace the band with a shorter one for my wrist size.

[@JustBlueFish]

24mm lug width where the strap connects to the case.

[@alexstrikoudis8210]

Beautiful watch!!!! How many seconds lost per month? And how many is the power reserve? Thanks a lot!!!!

[@paranormal750]

when you put it on it looks like your gonna cut blood circulation on your wrist you have it too tight and then you claim is way to big

[@nickg2954]

Nice watch except for the 24mm lugs

[@JustBlueFish]

everything on this guy is big, maybe it's from Texas?

[@nickg2954]

JustBlueFish Hahaha..Maybe

[@ryannathan3105]

Bad Bezal... mine lines up nicely... just got lucky...

[@Hyperborean_2]

Kinetic movements are waste of money They tried but it turned up being just a gimmick I'd recommend solar for a diver
