Seestern, San martin & Octopus triple fight yeeeaaah!!!

[@josecastrojoble34]

I give a lot of respect to the company who is always listening to the consumers. good job seestern.

[@kengachira]

Hats off to Seestern for listening to its consumers

[@aaronb.4499]

They need a divers extension or full glide lock adjust clasp. Remove the "Limited edition" and place their own model name. Lastly, they need a little logo of their own at the 12 o-clock because I find the dial slightly sterile without that small touch, but over all a pretty amazing watch for the price. 7.9 out 10 from me. 10 out of 10 review.

[@jonboy8181]

Nice watch. I like the cursive “titanium.” It’s looks 90’s but in the right way.

[@danspanos]

Great to hear they addressed the clasp and bezel so quickly! Thanks for getting this out so quickly, Z! I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people. I already posted it in one of my watch groups. If you can manage to get all 3 in, that would be spectacular!

[@daynevickers1079]

Kudos to Seestern for fixing the clasp issue! I purchased the Octopus Oct-10 and there was no clasp issue other than the fact I'd love to have seen more than 3 holes of adjustment. One of the things I truly like about both watches is the fact that they beveled the bottom edge of the case (look at 5:30 in the video). This eliminates the bottom edge of the case from digging into the wrist. Very subtle, but it works. I purchased the San Martin "Pelagos' homage at the same time, and, as much as I love it, the bottom edge of the case digs into my wrist (as do most all SM's divers when worn snugly). I hope you can obtain all three of these watches for comparison, I'd love to see that! Thanks for the update, appreciate it!

[@watch-box]

Very balanced review as always. Its nice to see Seestern are actually listening to feedback and acting very quickly to remedy concerns. I might wait on a V2 and see if they swap out the clasp. The triple side by side would be a hit Im sure.

[@kostya121212]

its just crazy how they decided it was ok to release this to the market like that. and now their solution is just to drill 2 more holes next to the existing ones... They went the extra mile and used the no date movement, so the could have easily work out a proper clasp too to avoid their usual version 2 / version 3 deal.

[@felo6035]

Thank you Zee for letting us know that the clasp and bezel issues have been addressed. I had held back from buying one, but now will probably pull the trigger on one. Thank you again.

[@indyawichofficial1346]

Great video, gotta say that this channel's content together with Relative Time's is one of the best around. Thank you for such a great job!

[@petermeier3624]

Great review, thank you for adressing the issues to Seestern! Always good for the end customers to wait some days before buying. A tripple review would be great!! ❤

[@kapooktu]

Yes, please make a comparison video on those three watches. Great review, by the way.

[@ulig12]

I‘d love to see a comparison especially to the Octopus Kraken. Great video as always!

[@adk7962]

I believe Seestern is the best Aliexpress brand out there. Glad they addressed it. It’s not ideal but glad they addressed it so quickly. (Edit) forgot to add I’m definitely looking forward to the steel version.

[@itsallrobbish]

Im hearing great things about the Octopus Kraken version. Looks almost identical, but witth hi beat movement that's ultra accurate.

[@Mr_Memer.876]

I still think the octopus kracken is the better option. It has a PT5000, a fully articulating bracelet and the clasp is ok, all for the same price.

[@tonyd223]

I'm still happy with mine - another good review Zee

[@XjohnjohnX88]

Looks great! Can't wait for the (triple 🙏) comparaison. Thanks for sharing, Zee.

[@YannickKhong]

I own the san martin "pelagos" and the watch has some sharp edges and the crystal AR coating is weak to the point of the dial not being visible on extreme angles. It was a mistake on my own because I feel the dial was a nice fusion of both Pelagos and the clasp is quite nice.

[@EscapeWheel]

Nice review as always, man. I want to get them all so bad...lol. so many watches, so very similar.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeah definately alot of choice and would make a great comparison

[@maurice3601]

Seems to be a pretty accurate copy, which is impressive given the fine details like the radially brushed bezel insert and the subtle sunray dial on the original. But a dead giveaway that this isn't the real deal, are the endlinks and the profile of the lugs. Corners have (literally) been cut on the machining and finishing of those, giving them a rounded and less crisp appearance. This has a big visual impact and instantly lowers the perceived quality. Based on the first video's and photo's, Octopus did a better job at this. So I'm looking forward to a direct comparison between the two.

[@alixrza3107]

Get on the 3 way comparison, urs r the best in the game 👍👍

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Appreciate it bro! 👊🏽

[@stavros_katsopr]

Great review, as always mate. Cheers, be well.

[@junjielinx4681]

Great review! This watch is a Lume king! Amongst my Seiko's, citizen, orient ....Good Job seestern!

[@itsallrobbish]

Great review, very comprehensive aand it looks really great on those straps, love that they are quick release. At the mo, it's the Kraken that has my vote.

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

I ordered one and it was a nice surprise. The one that arrived had a great band.

[@caktaylor]

If the decide to make a larger one, I hope they go for the full 42mm case. I think that would have them well positioned for the larger watch/smaller watch crowds.

[@sinjinadams2862]

Nice review! Drilling another hole in the clasp is not really fixing the problem! Now there are just a bunch of unsightly holes in the clasp! This is just a temporary fix. They need to completely redesign the clasp and give us something much better and much closer to the original watch. I've seen a review and pictures of the Octopus Kraken and they do not have this problem. I wish Seestern had told you what they're going to do for all of us that have already bought the watch. Are they going to send us out a free clasp? I hope so!

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeah i think they will send out a clasp

[@danspanos]

They will send you one out, but only if you ask for one. They aren't going to do it automatically.

[@sinjinadams2862]

I have contacted them and they said they will send me one when they receive it from the factory. I hope they are being truthful and honor their word.

[@BorisBadenov-c7q]

I picked up the San Martin version about a month ago and I love it. Can’t find anything wrong with it.

[@alamore5084]

You would be hard pressed to find anything wrong with a San Martin. Better quality than Seiko's main and premium ranges. Excluding Grand Seiko of course.

[@stefpix]

This looks great, but ruined by that italic "Titanium" on the upper part of the dial and "LIMITED EDITION" on the bottom part. It would look cleaner and nicer without that unnecessary text. Usually Seestern nails the branding, and keeps text minimal, but not in this case. I would consider only a dial version without those 2 text elements.

[@johnrb9397]

Waiting for V2. That clasp is a no deal for me.

[@hamzapeer518]

Do a review for san martin Pelagos 39mm pls

[@kieranpyne3271]

Loved this presentation. Ace!

[@zaskarclf]

If they made this in 42mm with a date at the 6, I'm all over it

[@spectacularangular637]

What issues were fixed? Any list?

[@esarempee]

I just know I'd get pulled for inport duty if I ordered one of these. So tempting though.

[@hamzapeer518]

Are we going to see that triple comparison anytime soon ?

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

Great review

[@auskenner]

I received mine today and i am very disappointed, there is no NH38 inside, but a NH35. So Seetstern is too cheap to use the movement they are advertising.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

What? How did you figure that? I'd open the case back. The watch uses an NH38 confirmed

[@auskenner]

@@TheWatcherReviews i pulled the crown, there is a ghost date position. You can hear and feel the date wheel changing.

[@auskenner]

@@TheWatcherReviews I sorted the problem with Seestern, i got a partial refund for the wrong movement. The say that it is probably a mixup and i received the watch with the Seagull movement. I can't verify it without opening the watch.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

@@auskenner yeh the latter makes sense, you can easily tell as the seagull is hi-beat and beats at 8 ticks per second

[@borisstepanyan9611]

Nice review

[@rumcajs009]

9:00 - holy crap, it looks like 1mln $ on that strap!

[@kristapsziemelis]

starfish branding was too childish...they need to re work they logo...

[@TerryChimes123]

Titanium is a scratch magnet though.

[@c.s.herman860]

Do you know when stainless steel model is coming?

[@sinjinadams2862]

I doubt that is going to happen. This is an homage of a Tudor and that watch was only made in Titanium.

[@AdamLunn08]

How will I know if I'm buying one now that it will be the newer version with the better clasp?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

I think they did a clean run so all being sold are v2, they also sent out v2 clasps to buyers

[@c.s.herman860]

What size is your wrist?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

6.5"

[@rostam79]

Where are the straps from?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

From seestern

[@rostam79]

@@TheWatcherReviews I ordered the watch. Is the rubber strap automatically part of the set?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

You can ask to make sure, they usually provide a free strap

[@johnrb9397]

Your having a laugh !!. Clasp fixed? They just drilled another hole in it. What a dodgy stop gap.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeh im hoping they dont have 2 holes on that side of the clasp though.

[@johnrb9397]

@@TheWatcherReviews 🤞

[@StrangersIteDomum]

Terrible branding. Did they intend "cistern"? Or see stern as in your angry math teacher? Or maybe they want to marry your seester?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

😂😂 no, seestern is German for starfish

[@BorisBadenov-c7q]

Great review. Limited addition should be on the case back.

[@moisturisedgnome1181]

I think the Octopus logo text on the dial itself is a massive put- off for me. The San Martin I haven't seen. Would be good though, I love the Pelagos but can't afford one so a comparison between the 3 best homages would be excellent!
