That dial is stunning. There goes another grand from the bank account 😬

[@bruceleroy8063]

Yeah but its a dry grand.

[@brandonabbott95]

This bracelet looks identical to the one on my Seiko Kinetic GMT I just bought. When I picked it up I was absolutely blown away by the feel and look of the bracelet. I had a hard time believing it was a Seiko bracelet.

[@Sundry303]

This is about to be my first watch, absolutely stunning

[@lutylives1852]

Brilliant start!

[@ermitanyo777]

Were you able to buy it? Heheh

[@visiblekoment]

Was my first watch back in Feb this year. Love it.

[@bruceleroy8063]

Just got the green. Every time I see it I think it's the finest looking object I've ever owned. I'll probably get blue as well because these are just too unique and beautiful. Edit got the blue on the Artem sailcloth grey stitched strap. Worth it

[@fungus70]

Awesome dial. Seiko outdone themselves again.

[@markfeldman612]

Seiko, for all its faults, murdered it. This is the kind of design Omega has only achieved with the Aqua Terra. Not sure any watch under $1000 has more value.

[@garethfernandes6162]

Excellent review this is my next Seiko buying it next week it’s a real winner. Thank you for this great review.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Beautiful piece, the green dial is definitely on my list 😍😍😍

[@enriqueali]

Wow! Gorgeous! Hard to decide which I prefer, the green or this blue, they both look amazing. Maybe the green, to me it seems just that little bit more special and unique. Thanks for posting! 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍😍😍

[@j3rkch1ck3n]

Wow! Seiko nailed it! Absolutely gorgeous watch!

[@MrShinobi797]

I’m usually a Sucker for Blue Dials. But I have to admit... the White Dial speaks to me more. My money would have gone there instead.

[@BVcello]

Good review... I got me this watch as an everyday piece, and I have to say... It's a fantastic one at that. It sits very comfortably, it has sharp but discreet lume, and hands/indices are always legible. Together with the great dial it's quickly becoming my favorite piece in the collection... Great work Seiko

[@EscapementWatch]

Glad you enjoy it!

Is this an everyday watch for someone who dresses casual?

[@Vow247]

That is gorgeous, and a great review.

[@ptxbrg2599]

I love the Presage series but the Sharp Edge models maybe even more. I'm looking for a dressy watch in this price range. I think these watches with 6R35 movement worth the money...

I was just about to buy the seiko speedtimer but my god the dial and finishing is absolutely gorgeous,that might be the one

Nice, saving up to buy this! Its like a baby grand seiko..yes Presage is the dress watch...5 Sports is the sportier purposes

Idk maybe I’m way off here but I’m getting some AP royal oak vibes with that dial. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@michaelfierman3256]

best intro ever ( because sadly it is true) no disposable income left whatsoever. After seeing that shade of blue i'd say this one is the most beautiful. ( I would have sat for 30 minutes of timegraphing if you left the beeping on. Great review.

Thanks for watching bro really appreciate it. But I just finished filming the new limited edition Willard intro and that is the best intro ever. Coming up in November

This one is the next on my watch want list after I catch up from buying three in one month!

[@HamishCarpenter]

Wow!!! What did you get if I may ask? Thank you

[@TKsheng]

I think seiko could set the branding on the dial just like they were able to do with the SRPE43 presage but they went with this instead. I like this raised plate on this watch though, i think it adds abit of something to the otherwise empty and a little too clean dial

[@ryanbrown4259]

Great video u made. I looked at it at many sites, and was just bad pictures, then look at your video and got hocked. Now i owns one, and have to say, its even better looking in real life (hard to make right impression on 2d video)

Was torn between the green dial and the tissot ballad powermatic think this one in green edges it for me

[@marcel9688]

Thanks a bunch FT for this great series on the new Seiko releases. Well done👍. Because you asked, I see these models as the perfect every day watch. Just let me come back to the Seiko logo. I'm still not sure whether it's printed or applied (I'm sure you mentioned it but somehow I missed it). Looking forward to the next one. Take care and have a great Sunday 👋

[@ashwinramesh1356]

This is going to be my only watch... My GADA watch. I'm torn between blue and black. I have a small-ish wrist (6.5 inch) white would be too big for me I guess. I don't think the black dial brings out the hemp leaf pattern that much. I'm definitely leaning towards the blue lol

[@gmotionedc5412]

I like the linear streak dial better. I want one.

[@canonyeo4286]

[@trailblazer2339]

Thank you for reviewing three color ways, FT! Which is your pick? You recommended green in the last video but you love white and now you want to pick up the blue : )

[@EscapementWatch]

soft spot for blue. but in the end for this dress watch id go white. because if i got blue i'll have too many blue watches. if you dont have a decent blue watch id go blue. but really all 3 are excellent looks! Very TOUGH!

[@Green-6937]

Blue Looks gorgeous, still I prefer Red one..

[@shawnlavigne9069]

The blue is my favorite of the sharp series. It's a daily wear on the flash side. Nice, but too flashy for me.

[@scottlauren3145]

Same. If it had less polishing and more brushing, I would be all over it!

[@marcluffy5161]

blue is always best

You are very very funny. I always laugh when I watch your vids. Keep up the great work. By the way I caught a Seiko dark manta turtle and I think it is beautiful. Nicer than the samurai what are your thoughts. Ray

[@EscapementWatch]

Thank you for the kind words and watching our videos. We did do a video on the dark manta beautiful watch. I always go back and forth between turtle and Samurai. If you have the wrist for it I would go turtle for the vintage vibe but the Samurai is definitely growing on me.

@@EscapementWatch you are right they are both awesome. Thank you for responding. Ray

[@patricktettero5964]

Good over. I think it's a sportswatch basically because of the lume . So it must be considered as a dressy sportswatch 😊

Sorry we do not have access to Tissot Watches at this point in time.

[@icebear5684]

Hey, Good Video absolutely love it! I do need your help though, I am thinking to buy myself a good watch for the first time and there are 2 watches that came to my mind: (1) Seiko Presage SPB167 (blue one) and then (2) the tissot powermatic 80 silicium blue dial What do you think about both of these, and maybe you could help me figure out which one I should buy? Keep up the good work!

[@EscapementWatch]

Is it the tissot gentleman?

[@icebear5684]

@@EscapementWatch I think so?, the one i looked up is an automatic one and have powermatic silicium wording on the dial. This is the code for the tissot: T127.407.11.041.00

[@escargotiskuhol]

@@EscapementWatch I'm also torn between these two choices as prices where I am are roughly the same. Your thoughts?

[@lyso666]

Thanks for the nice review. For about 200 less we can buy a Tissot powermatic 80 blue dial (80 hours vs 70), how would you explain the price difference? Thanks!

[@EscapementWatch]

well the dial for one thing. however, watches are not always about spec's. For Value Tissot is impossible to beat! For example the Tissot Seastar has more water resist and technically a better movement then say a new Seiko Willardx or 62mas reissue. yet sells for $500 USD regularly on grey market. while Seikos new Willard is double the price or MORE with less specs. However, no one on earth would buy the Tissot diver if Tissot had the guts to price it like Seiko priced the Willard. tissot would make zero sales on their diver. because it just doesn't matter to collectors. The Tissot SeaStar is proof that Spec's do not make a watch. It can have 1000m water resist and 5 day power reserve and still the seiko willard will out sell it 1000:1. hope that helps! I wanted to do a comparo between the tissot and this watch but I couldn't get my hands on a Tissot unless I bought one. And I dont want to be stuck with it.

[@lyso666]

@@EscapementWatch Thanks a lot! Ok, so let's say Seiko are more attractive for customers than Tissot :) (looks like at least if even better specs are still cheaper for Tissot). I'm still wondering why since one could state swiss movement could make it better than standard JP movement. Good example you took: I do like the Tissot SeaStar blue dial, 80 H reserve is great.

Does this watch lose time too much? That's what I hear. I like a accurate watch, but it's just an amazing looking watch. Buy it?

Seiko's run fast more likely then running slow. But you can always regulate it after it breaks in at a watchmaker for cheap. Or watch my regulation videos on seiko and do it yourself.
