Great review. I have two Seiko Prospex Speedtimer, one in 41mm Pepsi blue, and one in 39mm, Panda (white dial). Both of them are great, but I prefer the 39 mm. For the price they are great watches, comfortable, and the quality is excellent.

[@Conundrum191]

Picked up the 39mm panda version a few weeks back. Preferred it over the more silvery dial of the 41mm, plus outside of the worse lume it just looked like a more put together watch, imo. The 39mm uses 20mm lugs so strap changes are easy...the 41mm uses 21mm so....yeah. Also worth noting that depending on the model, many go by a different reference on the JDM side, and can be had for much cheaper if you go for those versions (only thing you lose is the international warranty for a Japan-only warranty).

[@oliver1965]

Exactly. Have the 🐼 too. Great watch. Get going 🚀

[@Kingstonsmac]

Just got an amazing deal for a new SSC911 for under 300 usd. Been checking out that red dial though ! 🔥

[@peterzabilka3664]

I like the 39mm. I think it definitely punches above it's weight in price whilst maintaining a more subtle look.

[@KRJoye]

Chris great comparison review, my fav is the 41 Blue also. I only buy automatic chronos now but these are tempting.

[@MrZanzibar123]

That blue pops! Getting closer to my favorite Speedtimer, the SRQ039.

[@adk7962]

Those are awesome. I wish the 39 came in the red dial. Thanks for showing them to us. But amongst these three I would go with the 41 in red. Thanks!

[@chef_by_chance7907]

I’ve been comparing these two for weeks now. I can’t decide what would be best for my 6.75 inch wrist! I love the lume and design of the 41, but i also love the size of the 39..help!

[@MeestroDavid]

I tried both on MANY times and while my preference is typically toward smaller watches (we have the same size wrist), the choice was made for me when I got the 41 as a gift and it wears beautifully. The 39 does look more compact but since the 41 has the same lug-to-lug, it fits the wrist identically just with a little more presence. So the good news is that it's really about which design you prefer. If you're leaning 41, go for it--it'll fit just right.

[@markkuzminski3922]

I have a 6.75 wrist and own a 41. It fits great. I love it, so just go for the one you like the look of the most.

[@AdAce21]

The 39mm is a fantastic size and hides the date window a lot better. The bezel also looks better on the 39mm version and has 20mm lug widths. I love my SSC815, but choose whichever design you prefer!

[@rayray..3349]

Love How U Roll Bro. I Myself a Seikopath.

[@user-kt9ky3tk8w]

👍👍👍 Nice Watch , Elegant Watch , Multi Function Reveal by Watch Chris 👍👍👍

[@brianmartin4035]

Nice watches, I prefer the bezel on the 39mm but I prefer the larger size of the 41. Why did they change the bezel? I also like the new blacked out version that was announced recently.

[@benson8205]

the blacked out version looks mazing ssc923p

[@user-fj6cl4qo9i]

Yes

[@MyNameIsGhost]

Part of me wishes I waited and got the red but honestly I loveeee my white panda ssc911. That being said I'm also partially hoping the rumors are true that the red is US exclusive cuz then i have less possibility of dropping another $950 CAD LOL

[@manuzach]

The yellow dial shud have gotten a mention

[@guidine7]

41mm for me

[@BobMarley-pm1xb]

24 hour sub dial…….instant deal killer. Thanks Chris

[@bogarbill6331]

terribly overreaction

[@BobMarley-pm1xb]

@@bogarbill6331 “terribly overreaction” …..uh….terribly syntax/grammar soooo…..I am a pilot. 24 hour sub dials are “decorative” in look and function. Only if you live underground as a spelunker or in outer space as a walker do the 24 hr. sub dials even pretend to be there as a tool. A 12 hour totalizer is EXTREMELY useful as in keep you alive Sir. Take a Cessna 172, a basic trainer with almost 5 hours of usable fuel. Gets busy in the cockpit. But you were a good boy and started your REAL chronograph just before hollering “Clear prop” and starting your motor . Now, after 4 hours have elapsed it is time to be doing your pre-landing check list. A Seiko VK-67 ships with a 12 hour totalizer, NOT that stupidity known as a 24 hour dial slaved to the main gauges. I own a very well built and spected chronograph built by Baltany. $169.00 USD TT&L, delivered from Amazon. I love it! Supremely accurate!

[@ethimself5064]

Question: My watch is quartz battery and gains 5.5 seconds per month. How does this accuracy stack up agents other watches, let's say up to the $500 US range?

[@shugertits]

That is pretty accurate. Most automatic watches that I've owned lose a few seconds a day. It's not uncommon to lose/gain 30 seconds a day. I, personally, like quartz watches. Especially from an era where they weren't so cheaply made. I have a seiko 7a from 1983 that has gained only a second since we reset from daylight savings. A mechanical watch as accurate as yours would be pretty high-end. Does that answer your question?

[@ethimself5064]

@@shugertits 🤣 Not quite. Mine is a Timex dual quartz, analog and digital, 2 time zones etc etc: all stainless. Bought it about 18 years ago. But I get your points. A week ago or so I saw a watch that was certified to be accurate within 1 second a year - blew my mind and I just moved on. I have wondered why quartz watches are not calibrated per month etc and digitally corrected for daily if need be. Thanks for getting back

[@JoseReyes-jt6ob]

Me gustó mucho el de 39 mm pero lo malo es el pcoc lumen que trae. Salú2 desde Puebla México.

[@seanhickling7340]

I'm sorry but those are definitely not great prices. The are a number of higher quality watches available at that price.

[@EconMcCausland]

That 24 hour sub dial. So useless. No one is going spelunking with a chronograph. No thanks, Seiko.

[@seanhickling7340]

No more useless than the date or lume.

[@MeestroDavid]

Totally useless, but Citizen puts it on their solar chronos as well, which leads me to believe both of their movements needed more real-estate for the solar cells and that was the simplest complication to implement. Just a guess, but both companies ended up with the same solution that nobody asked for so that's my theory...

[@dustinr16]

)Could have done an hour counter (6, 12 or 24 hours in the sub dial or even cooler would have been to make the 24 hour independent to function like a second time zone GMT. Whatever function the dial uses it could still be a solar cell. It’s just disappointing they didn’t make a movement that was more useful. The only useful function of the 24 hour sub dial is you know whether it’s AM or PM.

[@SampleTracks2224]

Like anyone is going diving with a dive watch.
