The Best Seiko You Can Buy [SPB453]

[@earlbee3196]

You scratched your watch so we don’t have to . that’s commitment from you sir.

[@PARTYMONST3Rxx]

Just got mine in Japan for around $950. It's nice to see a seiko diver in a size that's not built for King Kong.

[@hephep22314]

Nice video. I have also just bought this watch, absolutely in love with it.

[@Mexicanfood182]

good review and watch! i have the spb143 and very happy with it, i like that the dimensions are a little bigger than this one, couldn't go any smaller. Also would recommend to push some of the pins to the middle of the bracelet, some are poking out

[@davidj.9587]

great review, thank you

[@MyZippy13]

Great piece but I see it at £700 tops. I opted for the new 2024 Marine Master 300. Killer watch

[@tacticaltruth8118]

Thanks for the review. I don’t generally like the date at the 4:30 position but does not bother me on this watch.

[@1968jpy]

This is a nice watch but I purchased recently the SLA047J1 Marine Master 300 and the SPB105J1 MM200 and extremely happy with both . I love this new watch though if I did get one I’d get the blue one . I tried it on at a local A.D. it’s a very nice Seiko diver .

[@andrewdodge1311]

Picked it up and immediately threw on a tropic strap 💯

[@SynOCNZ]

It's not a bad watch, I went in to try out this one and the SPB383 which I was drawn to most out of the two. Better level of finishing and a ceramic bezel.

[@NukeZoned]

and its a gmt with a 24 hour chapter ring and keeping the timing functionality of a dive watch

[@ivanmejia6843]

Proportions on the 453 are much better, though. The GMT diver is a heavy, chunky slab of steel on the wrist (some folks like that heft/size).

[@jayx7764]

383 all day especially for the money

[@tehb1726]

Great video, thanks!

[@watchroll3310]

If 0% of the buyers will use the divers extension then why you care to have a proper diving watch? Every single diver that I ever encountered that uses a seiko diver DOES uses the extension for the wet suit. That cheap extension is a must for a wet suit. Great rest of the review. Everything else is spot on.

[@userdankbh]

Great review.

[@TheDeltatangowhiskey]

Why does nobody understand that water resistance tests are static. You don't have to be 100 m down to feel the force that would be applied by the water at that depth. When these tests are performed, they're done with zero movement. If you're standing at edge of a body of water and threw your watch into the water it would experience forces greater than a single atmosphere even though you're at the surface

[@danryan4137]

In Canada it’s at least 1500.00 😢

[@hoverpilder1905]

I have the SRPH17, cant see the reason to jump up to this, other than I MUST HAVE IT !!!!

[@ヒロ-h2e]

私のこのコンパクトなブラックダイヤルは、購入当初動作時間は1日あたり -３秒でしたが、6ヶ月過ぎた現在は -５秒になってしまい、少し残念です。

[@jeid3822]

Is the aluminum bezel❤easily to scratch

[@fkurcik]

The dial, handset and bezel do look nice, but for that sort of money I would expect nicer bracelet and case construction.

[@guyplay]

Nothing wrong with the bracelet. It’s comfortable and well made. You don’t have to pay MSRP

[@hammalamiri12]

Case construction is ahead of competitors, Seiko brushing and polishing / diashield at the price point is great. The only issue with these Seiko SPBs is that they have to be worn in rotation because the accuracy will annoy most

[@David.Horne72]

Been wearing mine for 3 weeks, and love it​@hammalamiri12

[@seanhickling7340]

It's an ok watch but definitely not worth more than £700. I'd rather get a JDM SARX to be honest.

[@agilewolf]

Great review. I would prefer ceramic or sapphire bezel over aluminum any day. The two hole clasp w diver flip out are also silly and pointless. These days there seem to better options available Seiko either needs to lower their priced or up their game.

[@Leo-Crespi]

ahahahah

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

The best sake of you can buy is still nowhere near accurate 🤣

[@AMore429]

Seiko=corporate arrogance

[@ronaldnixon8226]

Just go no date instead of this design mistake
