This Seiko Is WEIRD....... But I Like It!

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Hellooooo All! Sorry for the confusion, I was looking at the wrong model on Jomashop. The 40mm with sapphire is in stock, but is $185USD and not $135USD. It is still weird, I still like it, but obviously it is $50 more than I thought it was when I recorded the video, so perhaps not quite as much of a bargain as I had thought. Cheers! Jody

[@dracamon]

I'm looking at Jomashop right now and the black SPC255P1 is $215 USD and out of the stock. The only white SPC256P1 is an open-box for $184 USD and it's also out of stock. Amazon has them for $235 and $291, respectively, from the SEIKO Store.

[@cylentone]

You were looking at the SPC133 in Jomashop - larger and without sapphire (also available with white dial). Then there is another version of their perpetual calendar which I have with a white dial SPC123 (also available here and there with black or blue dials), also quite large at 44mm and with the 7t86 movement. I also needed awhile to understand how to set it, especially the alarm time subdial and the actual alarm time, but now I got the hang of it. The version you reviewed is on my list - a bit smaller, sapphire and the black dial would be better, as well as the added legibility (mine has white dial and silver polished main hands, beautiful blue secondary hands). Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@Razor_Burn]

Thanks for the clarification Jody and it doesn't take away from an otherwise enjoyable video. 👌

[@derbagger22]

Anywhere under $200 is still a bargain, I think. But $135 woulda been amazing.

[@StevenMRSenior]

It’s between equivalent aud 300 and 500 here in uk.

[@Rob954ever]

I own this watch. I really love it's uniqueness. The perpetual calendar is very accurate and very cool. I'm a shirt and tie guy, so this watch looks really eye catching in an office environment. I've had a few people compliment it . Great review, as always. Thank you! 😉👍🏼

[@kiwilonewolf]

Can the alarm be turned off? I've had a browse of the manual online and it doesn't mention it.

[@Rob954ever]

@@kiwilonewolf I honestly don't know as I don't use alarms on watches. I would the you that if you look up reviews fir the previous iteration of this model, here on KZbin, you'll see how to turn it off.

[@kristianfella-glanville]

It looks amazing, a great choice of watch!

[@TheMonsterHunterTV]

Hey Jody. I recently bought myself a vintage King Seiko (56 KS) it really is the best dresswatch i've ever owned. You really should consider making a video about King Seiko because there is so much history to be talked about.

[@dmanosaka]

Only used offers value now. I prefer the vintage and have two. Super pricey reissue I'll pass and get an Oris or Tudor when I hit the lotto.

[@TheMonsterHunterTV]

@@dmanosaka Yes the new ones are overpriced and i'm very dissapointed, that they used a movement from their ProSpex-Line. The movement is good with it's huge power reserve and it's actually very durable but that's not what we want from King Seiko. They should put a thin hand-winding movement in it with 36000 bph. Pretty sad, that Seiko messed this up, because their other reissuies and reinterpretations of their iconic divers and alpinist are great.

[@dantenorio93]

Didn't know this thing even existed before this video! I bought one pretty much immediately after watching your video and absolutely love it. The feature set is endless and it looks amazing on wrist. Thank you for bringing this watch to our attention!

[@karlsenula9495]

Saw the white version of this on another channels SOTC and it immediately went on my wish list ... loved all the functions.

[@mattbarker24]

Wow, finally a KZbinr who reviews watches I own and love! The only difference is that mine has a white dial and a stainless steel bracelet. It's absolutely beautiful. Web photos don't do it justice. I bought mine from Jomashop about a week before Christmas and it arrived three days later. I had no problems setting the watch, though I did have to download the manual from the Seiko site so I could read it in larger print on my laptop.

[@Nefville]

I get a kick out of Jody who thinks he honestly hasn't been successful even though he has a doctorate, a successful KZbin channel and a growing family. You always find a way to make me smile. Stay humble and driven sir!

[@steven3379]

I've always been drawn to this model.. Kinda "steampunk" design. Love it!

[@Laz_Arus]

I bought the white dial variant ( SPC131P1 ) back in Feb 2020 for AUD$201. Doesn't get a heap of wrist time because I have too many others lining up for some TLC, but this video has prompted me to put it on for a few days. 👍

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Good stuff. White looks good too!

[@Laz_Arus]

@@JustOneMoreWatch Jody, I should have mentioned that mine has Hardlex crystal. When you mentioned yours had sapphire I had to go and test mine and it didn't show up as sapphire. Accurate since the purchase has averaged +0.1 seconds per day.

[@tt756]

I had it. It's far too busy. I gifted it to a godson, who loves the busyness!

[@Lets-Take-Pictures]

Seiko has some nice sapphire crystal models with quartz movements for less than $200USD. I think you can even get titanium and sapphire for that price if you don’t mind a quartz module and a stamped steel clasp.

[@danielleclare2938]

Pretty gizmo for a Quartz watch. Lots of analogue functionality to play with and looks ok too. I had a Navihawk that did a lot of that stuff with moving hands and the digital display made up the rest. Thanks for the show!

[@dmanosaka]

About $170 here in Japan. Similar to the original asking price. An earlier model called the Neo Classic line was 43mm and was available in Rose gold and white but both rare with the white on Amazon at $600! This one wears far better for me. Harkens back to Seiko's golden age of quartz, Age of Discovery, Dancing Hands, Yacht Timer, et al. Very unusual but super complicated. I'll keep looking for a used one just for fun.

[@KarlAdamsAudio]

I have the white dial version with blue hands - and yes, whenever daylight-saving time starts or ends, I'm looking up the 7T86 manual again. You could just leave the pushers alone & set the hour & minute hands like a regular three hander, but then the date wouldn't change at midnight (it's driven from the 24-hour subdial), and that just wouldn't do, would it? Maybe I'll remember how to set the thing eventually...

[@BlindProphet413]

I for one am super thankful you worked out how this works for us! Doesn't the mini-flightmaster have a 24-hr two-hand chrono timer too? I've seen a few others with that feature and the marketing seems to like calling them a "totalizer" or "24-hr totalizer". I have one chrono with that feature and I love it!

[@TheMonsterHunterTV]

Impressing watch for that pricepoint. Seiko really has some hidden gems.

[@m2pozad]

I've got the 44 version. But even at this size the pointer dates are very difficult to read. I was looking for a marine style watch with the leaf hands and said yes before noticing all the other craziness going-on- Perpetual calendar, chrono, 24hr timer, pointer date. I Like the specs, but it's not a strong bond.

[@stevezodiac575]

Hey Jody, I've seen you toss aside so many sets of instructions, so to hear your poured through 17 pages is nothing short of gobsmaking! I wouldn't have believed it had I not heard you say it yourself! So - respect Dr Jody Sir! You are a tougher man than I! I do like the watch a lot, and huge value it is too - but I'm just not tough enough to read the manual! On the positive side, my Baltany Chronograph arrived today and I'm loving it! Only niggle is the strap on the buckle side is way too short. Huge thanks for that recommendation video!

[@75dt21]

For me chronographs are just about looks, this however is just too busy. I can appreciate what it does for so little money, however my GShock does all I need, tells the time, date, year, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm. Like smartwatches they do everything but they also do too much

[@mattbarker24]

G-Shocks are ugly. Though I do own one.

[@MessagingMatters]

You read my mind. This is just too much of a Rube Goldberg device to do what my G-Shocks do (and less). For folks who want this kind of old-fashioned design, however, and who are very patient about RTFM (definitely not me), I could see the attraction.

[@wookiegoldberg]

Have the white face version. Had it for years. Always gets compliments. Got a minor crack early on but it hasn't gotten worse and so far not worth replacing. You mentioned a battery change... had mine at least 5 years and haven't touched the battery. We will see.

[@NomadHassan]

I have had the big brother of this watch before I got this one (the better sized one with sapphire crystal). It's the most value for money quartz analog watch from a big brand I know.

[@rafenwulf]

While I'm a fan and collector of all sorts of new and vintage mechanical watches, I do have one quartz with the YM86 movement (in a Vostok Europe Lunokhod 2). Functionally the same as the Seiko's 7T86. The convenience of this perpetual calendar watch that I never need to set or wind has me wearing it very regularly. When I've worn a mech watch for a while and ready to pick another watch from my collection, this guy is still ticking away and still perfectly accurate. Don't like the looks of this Seiko much though, but I love this movement.

[@islandterror5198]

Had the slightly larger black version without sapphire. My thoughts were if it were any smaller would be hard to read . And perpetual, yeah , if it were solar so needn't have to reset after a battery change. Looks way more expensive than it actually is. If I was to rebuy , I would get your version in white on bracelet . 👍

@JustOneMoreWatch I have the same reference circa 2015 according to the serial number. Yes, Seiko has been pumping these out for at least 8 years. The only difference is my 8 year old SPC255P1 does not have a cabochon. Yes, adjusting this watch is frustrating but once you set it you can pretty much forget it.

[@WatchWitt]

I’ve got the white dial SPC131P1 and absolutely love it! I needed to read the manual to learn how to calibrate the handset…so learned the rest while I was in there. Note that if you’re in an area that uses Daylight Savings Time you’ll still need to adjust for that twice a year, but the perpetual calendar works great! And I’m at +0.0spd for over 579 days!

Little fun fact about any watch with a 12 or 24 hour stopwatch, if you start the stop watch at 12 o’clock in a time zone you’d like to track the hours and minutes will show you that time. So you could use it as a makeshift GMT. assuming the chrono doesn’t automatically stop after 12/24 hours. Would probably do a number on battery life but still a cool little hidden feature in a watch that already has so many

It is in my rotation. I wear it on a red strap and believe it or not, I've gotten more compliments on this watch than my more expensive ones. Maybe it's the red strap that makes it pop.

[@herkamer98]

Talk about a weird Seiko... I bought a Seiko Premier Direct Drive Moonphase. It's one of my finer watches and I really love it, but... Direct Drive is a strange beast. It won't wind on a regular winder due to it's winder-to-battery design, and the only winder I can find is about half as much as what I paid for the watch. If I were to wind it by hand, or by wearing it, it would take DAYS, or even weeks. So, I klooged together a winder on my cordless drill, but that's only a stop-gap. I see some online that were made in someone's garage, but I can't be 100% sure of those either. So... BUYER BEWARE!! And, THANKS SEIKO!

Alright hear me out guys. This watch is a 6/10 for me. In a chronograph 2 subdial layout with seiko at 12 would be better. I recently went back to wearing solid case back watches and even a press on case back vintage movado. I think brands forget to make watches comfortable tbh.. wear a skx and the 5kx for the exact comparison I’m talking about. Alone with case proportions on self. That’s one this this watch might have done really well. Just compare a late 16610 sub to any other new sub case its really like everyone forgot hot to make watch 😂. Thankfully there are still a good percentage of watches that are designed well for comfort im looking at you omega and jlc. Even vintage seikos are so comfortable to wear due to the way they constructed the underside.

Probably not for me (my Bambino struggles for wrist time, getting a wear for the first time in 2023 today, 18 days into the month). What it does show is that Seiko can do Sapphire at a bargain. We know the wholesale price of something like a 4R36 movement, so either these quartz modules are being produced for absolutely nothing or Seiko are making massive margin on the likes of their Seiko 5s and "entry-level" Prospex and Presage pieces.

[@mikeingeorgia1]

I really like the style of this watch. The style of the numerals is different from anything I currently have, and I think the contrast of the second hand and the shape of it makes it very interesting to look at.

[@philspencelayh5464]

I'll start by sneering at it because it's a battery powered quartz, if they'd squeezed a solar cell in it would be a different proposition. Normally I think chronographs are a complete waste of a watch but with the abiity to time longer periods this could be useful. It's a busy dial but the numbers and handset mean you could probably use it ok. I'm not sure if that alarm would be heard over much background noise. Just shows that they can afford to squeeze sapphire into a cheaper watch, there is no excuse not to fit it on everything. Just seen the price comments, needs solar.

[@skduncan1974]

Very cool little watch! Great review as always.

[@NotoriousK_I_T]

Domed sapphire is a mixed blessing at the best of times, and really wouldn't suit this watch in my opinion. With domed sapphire you'd get flecto from every angle, and with a dial this busy where legibility is key, a bit of bounce back at extreme angles is a price worth paying overall.

[@Dolsilwa]

I think that to some degree it's a Railroad watch. Look at vintage Laurel (early Seiko wristwatches and pocket watches) - it has the same roman numeral, very similar hands, tachymeter looks almost like railroad track and it has subdial at 6 like Laurel. And Laurel was classic railroad watch. But clearly this one is railroad watch fo Shinkansen or some other hyperspeed japanese train ;-)
