Thank you Rob for the information on the domed versus double domed crystal.

[@RedwoodAggie]

I actually never quite understood single vs. double dome, so thank for that explanation.

[@graemel3069]

Hey. Hi Rob, I just bought this today...Love your reviews a very personal touch and great information without wasting words...11/10...be safe and well, Cheers Mate!!

[@redletterl78]

Notwithstanding some QC issues, Seiko are making some nice looking watches recently. This looks like a very cool entry watch if you can snag fit for sub-$200.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

They need to fix it or time will run out

[@jimv.6631]

I bought the SRPG39 a couple of weeks ago. It’s a cool watch - I like it. 👍

[@misterhlam]

Looks beautiful on your wrist, truly!

[@verfed]

I just ordered this for $163 on Amazon. Thanks for the review, from clearly showing it from all angles and the lume shots.

[@krkitv9790]

is it original

[@tuukkakynkaanniemi3432]

That beige color of this model is cool!

[@marcdee4427]

I’ve got a couple of Hamilton’s , but I like 👍🏻 this very much , looks really nice

[@TheChadWork2001]

Nice. Much better than a year ago wth the 7S36.

[@paulthompson2147]

Looks like a great little watch.

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

Great watch bought one a week ago.

[@m44t59]

vintage brown leather strap looks great

[@NordicWatchChannel]

This looks great! I can’t put my finger on what makes this looks so much better than the SNZG13 etc. models but it def does! Maybe the sapphire and i think the indices are different too😊

[@odilpereira]

SNZG13 -> 7S36 SRPG33 -> 4R36

[@KRJoye]

Nice Seiko, another great review Rob

[@ThePmfan]

You were not kidding. Nice discount!

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

I like the srpg35k1 with the fauxtina lume

[@blazel462]

Just ordered an SRPG31 (blasted case/grey dial on nylon strap) from Long Island Watch! I really love the look of this watch, and the movement is great, imho. Tbh, I think that dome does a lot for my eye…just love that. I am new to watches, but in looking for a field style watch, I think this fills a niche even at the 275 mark. I know it can be less, but given what it is relative to other fields, the price is not bad. From what I read, it sounds like hardlex is better than lower quality saphire, so even some other microbrsnds that offer saphire for a similar price may not be better due to the quality…idk, just from doing a ton of research before deciding on this. Nice review!

[@ThePmfan]

Coupon brings it down by a LOT.

[@vgoose50]

Tried CRob doesn't work, well gave it a try, thanks like your review

[@gotshpilkes]

It's a simpler watch so QC should be less demanding. The SNGZ is still the favorite of the watches I own and this kinda fixes what bugs me about it. Larger wrist so I tend not to wear anything below 40mm but this is close enough if you squint. This style is all face so they look larger.. The SNGZ is not a lot bigger but it looks like a wall clock on wrist. If Vostok would make this style, they could sell them all day long for $150.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Could you do a size comparison to the SRPs? I have an SRPE57 and it's a little small on me. I love the watch but I could use something bigger and these are right up my alley and around the same cost. I also have an SRPD31 from the Land series line and damn that's a nice watch that needs more love on youtube. I got it cause I couldn't afford an Alpinist but I don't regret it at all. It's right about the perfect size for me despite its lugs being so small. Also just saw they released a Seiko 5 in the Pog gold dial colorway....Damn. SRPH19 And it's a limited edition.😑

[@gamerdaddy8597]

Just learned what double domed means. Thanks!

[@RandomRobReviews]

I legit need to get some crystals and show in better detail.

[@tezzanewton]

Very Hamilton-ish. I like it a lot.

[@blackhunk2265]

Beautiful

[@kevinfitz3721]

For my first watch would you recommend this watch or a hamilton khaki titanium 38mm? Or if there are any similar watches maybe that you would recommend?

[@wescobts]

Learned what double dome means... thats Rob

[@jameskeet8057]

Can you get a scratch protection film for these?

[@cody5826]

Hey man thank you so much for this review, I just bought the watch from mimo jewelers, also do you know what languages the date comes with?

[@simtye88]

It’s a awesome watch! Got the grey one on bracelet Couldn’t ask for a better watch

[@simonwright6882]

Very tempted by this one in the black but I think I'll go for the Hamilton khaki feild for a little more outlay.

[@1Raphael]

👍👍Nice..

[@hammondwatch2808]

Looks great. Would love to see a no date version but it probably wouldn't sell as well. Thanks for the vid.

[@Visitor555]

If it has no date it cant be Seiko 5. One of the 5 features are day/date. But i agree i would love no date or at least only date.

[@hammondwatch2808]

@@Visitor555 yeah and given their commitment to the product silos a no-date would have to be a prospex, which would be too similar (business/sales wise) to the alpinist/baby. I miss the days when seiko was more willing to do oddball releases outside of their product lines.

[@dustinr16]

@@Visitor555 Doesn’t apply to Seiko 5 anymore. They broke their own rules with the 3 o’clock crown.

[@Visitor555]

@@dustinr16 I know, but explain then why they dont make Seiko 5 with only date or no date now? Haha

[@Visitor555]

@@hammondwatch2808 I miss those days too, i hate that affordable range of Seikos have both Logos... Seiko 5 and X prospex... i like just to have on dial Seiko and Automatic and maybe 100-200m wr and thats it. No logos nothing more.

[@maxie_bgmi]

I wish this beautiful watch would come in 45mm dia

[@choond]

Great review! 👍 Btw, is that a Hamilton khaki field wall clock?

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Looks it

[@theeddorian]

Field watches really don't require looks. What would be useful is an assessment of how accurate the watch is.

[@joebloggs5454]

Joe Bloggs 0 seconds ago I purchased a Seiko 5 Sports Automatic SRPG29K in Australia in February 2023 and the world should know that this watch lost seven minutes in the first month of ownership. I advised the Seiko Australian supplier Linda and Co that the watch was faulty. They replied that it met the specifications so no warranty. Think about that before investing in a Seiko watch....

[@GabrielVescovi]

i tried this one the other day... idk, that domed crystal made it look weird for me. I'd rather have the option for a flat crystal like the good ol' SNZG's.

[@RandomRobReviews]

I prefer flat crystal as well

[@ajw5604]

Nice but no more hardlex crystal watches for me. Overpriced if it is not sapphire.

[@bradleymulick]

It certainly is an attractive looking watch. But I don’t see how anyone can reasonably claim that this is a value at the asking price. $275? There are plenty of other field watches out there that gives significantly more for significantly less. I could see spending 175 or $185 for this watch. But no more. Seiko continues to inch up its prices without much improvement in specs and then expect us to shell out money because it’s a Seiko

[@salvatoredidio9424]

In Comparison to the older Seiko 5 Field Modells this is a improvemend in Build Quality, has a better Movement and a better Finish. Sure the price dropped around the 220/ So it's Not Bad and the only Competitors are Bulova Hack with less Water Resistant and Marathon with the mediocre Lume.

[@srajxm]

Just got one, grey dial for $170 on eBay 👍 😉

[@ThePmfan]

@@salvatoredidio9424 Rob's code brings it down 55 bucks. But ebay sometimes has new one for like 190s range.

[@MC-yh9bw]

Never understood the field watch category. Divers, GMT, Chronographs have unique functions for their purpose. Is it the larger numbers for visibility on the battlefield that make it a field watch?

[@axelcoker242]

Yup. That.

[@Roughdraft214]

The main difference is their ease of legibility, but they were around before many of the other watches you mentioned. Before WW1 most men only had pocket watches and when the war started, soldiers were given standard issue watches, hence field watches so they could best synchronize missions. Pilots were given chronographs and divers came out later as water resistance ratings improved. Field watches are my favorite usually due to their simplicity, smaller size, and thinness but I also like their retro vibe.

[@ercanbanka5377]

This one or the Bulova Military 38mm , bertucci also has some good offers but there is always something missing , either the case size is to big , quarz movement or other factors .

[@dustinr16]

Looks like a bead blasted finish, not brushed.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Yeah. Did I say brushed? My bad

[@Mr1121628]

It’s stonewashed

[@TeaDoubleE85]

Discount code doesn't work....

[@ThePmfan]

works if you do all caps CROB.

[@ralphus555]

Discount code doesn't work. Too bad - was ready to purchase.

[@unknowntraveller8633]

I have to admit I am over NATO style straps as they look untidy and just don't do it as far as I'm concerned. Glad I didn't put too much investment into them

[@GabrielVescovi]

yeah, i tried to like NATO's too, tried a bunch, but it just doesn't work for me.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

They work for me but then again handy feature for wetsuits

[@blazel462]

Depends the setting too, imo. I do a lot of hiking and camping, so a bracelet doesn’t feel right.

[@Jason-hv4eu]

The code does not work Rob.

[@ThePmfan]

Try all caps. that works 55 dollars off.

[@weropfermag]

I'd like to see a field watch with 200m water resist & screw down crown. Looks cool though

[@tuukkakynkaanniemi3432]

Reissue of 1959 alpinist is 200m water resist.

[@caomhan84]

I will never understand the obsession with 200 m of water resistance. If you want to dive, wear a diver. 50 m, or even 100 m, suffices for 99.9% of all situations you will encounter.

[@Roughdraft214]

30m is probably all the average person needs, really. There are some out there but they’re 2-3 times the price of this one.

[@davidcoleman2796]

I will not buy another seiko . I sold my dress KX . It's to bad . It was keeping bad time . I only have my seiko sarb035 left . I'm keeping it . They are charging to much now .

[@MrMadvillan]

yo, this is the youtube comments section, not a western union telegram.

[@dinogrozdek8387]

Too thick for field watch, and sad that numbers arent lumed. Not fond of 13-24 hour text on the dial also. I would rather buy SNK381

[@Hellacop6]

I like it but it’s way too pricey for what it is

[@glennpowell3444]

There are too many watches nowadays. Generic rules I guess?

[@lulul]

made in japan does not mean it was actually made in japan. it could be, but many made in japan watches are made in other countries where a Japanese person supervised the production line or something like that...

[@markv.5962]

how did you come up with that theory?

[@lulul]

@@markv.5962 The main legal requirements for the made in Japan label are: Japanese owned company and production line supervised by a Japanese national. It is not required for the factory to be in Japan.
