The Seiko Sumo in my opinion is one of the best that Seiko has to offer. I have the original Gen1 pre prospex Japanese domestic market only Blumo and just added this green Hulk and gotta say the green is soooooo good! I have a 7 inch wrist and have no problems wearing a Sumo.

I love the Sumo! I'm glad sapphire is becoming a norm. I would pick up one if I didn't already own two of the last gen (black and coral blue both modded w sapphire and 24mm Strapcodes). There's something about the Sumo it just wears so great. It stays put on the back of the wrist. Love the new hands.

Beautiful. Wish it came with a good quartz mvt. I understand the allure of mechanical mvts, but I have a 33 year-old Seiko Sport 150 that I wore for over 20 years 24x7 that still keeps perfect time. It is sun-worn and the band is stretched a bit, but what a reliable machine. 14 years ago, on a visit for a new battery and caseback seal, a watch dealer told me that the unit would probably out live me, which impressed me quite a bit.

Tennessee Mike considering there was an inscribed crown on the old Sumo, and there was even a milled clasp on the Sarb033 and 035, it makes you wonder whether Seiko designers and management really understand what many watch buyers really want in a watch at a certain price point.

The Sumo is an awesome watch. I have a “Blumo” and will never part with it. The new Sumo is more expensive, but now has a better movement and Sapphire. Seiko offers so much in terms of longevity... I have Seikos that are 50 years old and my watchmaker can still find the parts needed to maintain them. This needs to be kept in mind when buying micro brands. I agree Rob... lack of a milled clap is not a big deal. Pressed claps are much thinner and comfortable on wrist.
@jiayaw4 жыл бұрын
Was browsing a local mall in Canada and found one at $840 cad ($636usd). Lovely watch, love the case design, dial, color ways. Only critiques would be the bracelet feeling cheap for a watch this price class and the screw down crown feels stiff and rough, the screw down crowns of my cheaper monster and Samurai are much much smoother. On a side note I was wearing my SARX055 while I bought this. So I got it sized and wore the sumo home while having the sarx in the box...low and behold I accidently dropped the sarx while it is in the box as I was opening my house door. Hopefully with the pillow inside the stock box and it not being that high of a drop (2-3ft) that it won't damage the sarx :(

I own a second generation Blumo and I’ve tried this watch on and the new black one on at a local jeweler and I’m not feeling it at all. To me the slight cosmetic changes are just enough to make it not a Sumo to me. Even with the upgraded movement and sapphire crystal I still like my Blumo better. I also believe it doesn’t justify an almost $350 price increase.

Especially when you compare it to things like Parnis, Loreo, Tissel, Squale, Ginault and some other higher end pieces. But each to their own.

Big fan of yours, Bruce. I am writing to ask for a suggestion on resolving a dilemma: the black limited edition sumo spb125 or the 2020 green alpinist spb121? Background: I have the PADI turtle, the STO blue whale turtle, the STO shark samurai. Would like to add the sumo and tuna at some point. I have presage cocktail time mockingbird, which is my first Seiko non-diver and liked the green alpinist. The two watches that I named are expensive enough I can pick only one now. Both are available at my city's Seiko boutique.
