Great to have Ben on board to create more content when Teddy isn't around!

[@brockadcock2735]

That gold bezel is just enough flash but not too much. Good job Seiko.

[@finejustgivemeaname]

i just ordered off of amazon for $350 and 7 day try before buy. you commented 6 months ago, so might not still be relevant, but in case . . . .

[@caesaryumury5839]

My first ever watch given to me by my father as a gift for my 15 birthday was a Seiko 5. It is a tradition in my family.

[@Danter5435]

I can definitely see that Teddy is trying to expand the operation of the channels to be the Linus Tech Tips of watches where he is the main host, but plenty of other hosts are involved as well. Ben has done a great job both here and on his personal watch collection in the Professional Diver video showcase. I'm all here for others to come along and become a part of channels' personality as well!

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Thank you for your support and feedback!

[@jdkarns]

That is an interesting observation. I like Linus tech tips and likewise Teddy has an informative professional and might I say an exciting show. I always look forward to Teddy and his eclectic lineup of knowledgeable guests on the show. And Ben fits in well.

[@nokianx400]

Well, to become Linus, Ted needs to drop and break watches 😂( to those who don't know, when Linus started, he accidentally dropped or broke things 😂😂😂)

[@thekraken3291]

I just bought the model with the Pepsi color on the inside. Something I haven’t seen before. I like when watch brands create their own designs vs regurgitating Rolex designs

[@speedracer2please]

Fantastic review! And I didn't think I was into gold, but the black and gold trimmed one is mesmerizing

[@williamreynolds813]

I just got the 019 today. This is my first non smart watch and I already love it. Love the channel Teddy, keep up the good work.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@blurayauthority]

I bought one of these for me and another as a gift for my stepson who just graduated from law school. Love them. For the price, I don't think they can be beat.

[@AdAce21]

the 019 is really nice, but my fav is still the blueberry (03k1). I'd love to see these in the seiko 5 SRPE cases though (39-40mm).

[@joebangaaa]

Great review. Ben definitely showcased his knowledge, very impressive. I will be purchasing an SSK017 from Teddy's site this weekend. Happy Labor Day Weekend!

[@startupbusinesscoaching]

Been watching you for years. Finally just bought my first watch from you, the SEIKO SSK017. All the Best, J

[@thefearofaflatplanet]

In note the “Made in Japan” text on the bottom of the dial, usually reserved for JDM watches.

[@nedflanders3769]

Excellent job on the review, Ben. I love the bright yellow dial on that ssk017. I am tempted! 😮

[@user-rs8sy3if7o]

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of NKUWAN . Their timepieces are of exceptional quality.

[@kinderwaff]

Ben fits unsuprisingly great, would love to see more of him!

[@Preteshd]

Lovely review. I am from South Africa so I have not seen these color variants here, we get the Blue SSK003K1, the black SSK001K1 and the Mikan Orange SSK005K1. These USA only colors look great. I currently have the Seiko 5 SRPK11K1 (Green with Gold indices and hands). My next Seiko 5 is going to be one of the GMT's and then maybe a Field Watch (SRPG29K1). Great job Ben!

[@jyrikgauldurson8169]

The new colors are great. I went with the new 5 Sports GMT special edition with the Japanese skateboarder because I really wanted a black bracelet.

[@asiandatu]

Currently on the fence about getting this one too

[@aesonvirus]

I have the SSK005 (orange face) and as much as I like the watch, the friction bezel is a deal breaker for me getting any others. No matter how careful I am, it’s impossible to keep the bezel from moving around and it just drives me crazy.

[@MichielJ71]

Like the yellow one. And the accuracy measurements.

[@tonib5899]

A good thorough review, me thinks I will go for the one with the gold rimmed one for my first GMT.

[@marksuchomelsr6698]

Ben did a great job. Coming from a diving background gave a professional view of the design and features of the watch. Loving the new yellow dial variant. I may just need to get one.

[@bensayles1541]

From one Ben to another, great presentation style, love the Seiko knowledge, would like to know more about you and the diving. Teddy, I saw keep adding Ben to the rotation please.

[@superdad4324]

Awesome review! I love Ben’s perspective and presentation. I hope he does more diver reviews.

[@user-jk4oz2eo9w]

It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

[@jackw5430]

More Ben please. don’t want less Teddy, but i love hearing Ben talk about divers. would love to hear his thoughts on my SPB317

[@danielpaulson3631]

Seems like they might consider turning on the furnace.

[@R3CL41M3R]

Great vid! Also, you need to cover the new 39mm longines legend diver with the beads of rice bracelet!

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Thank you! I would keep an eye on our main channel in the near future 😉

[@Jtjustintimberlake]

the black and gold one is my favorite

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

The whole time I thought it was teddy speaking

[@johnbecker1996]

Great work by Ben, he capably leans into the role of reviewer. I got the SSK003 last year, and still love it. The new colorways are great. They'll sell well. But in the GMT world, I'm thinking the introduction of the Miyota 9075 movement is the big news this year. It's showing up in more and more places. It's usually going to be in a different price category, as the watches using it appear to all be over $500, but I feel it's as much a pioneer in the true GMT category as the SSKs have been for caller GMTs.

[@DogZy9]

Agree. And then there is Miyota 9054, an upgrade of 9075 strictly for Series 8 GMT Citizen. The market for a sub $1000 true GMT is burgeoning.

[@craiglibby1224]

Outstanding job, Ben! Teddy’s shoes are big to fill and you stepped up well! I can see you both switching off as well as each of you picking your top 3-5 per category and comparing your choices.

[@brianj6701]

Well done, sir.

[@philippestrickler3461]

All this family of SEIKO 5 sports GMT is awesome . It is truly a very good deal for less than 500 $ .

[@DylanReynolds]

Good to see Ben on this review

[@user-fu1yp6lq2c]

I bought this popular video watch from nkuwan , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

[@JS-ev4xc]

Indeed why Seiko decided to include a SS bracelet for the 2-tone? Isn't it obvious that the balance is off? I also wonder for push-pull crown, will the water proofing be compromised if were to wind it daily?

[@watchcowsdive]

Ben! Ben! Ben!

[@VBJoeMo]

That can't be his first on air video? Really smooth presentation out the gate

[@MADTURK61372]

017 with red second hand will look amazing

[@zenderfall]

Wow, Lt. Aldo Raine never looked better!! Bon Jorno, Lt!!

[@kd3942]

Just bbought my gmt ssk031 today❤

[@stefanocugini]

Ben needs to review tool watches as someone who uses them.

[@MrKordel7]

Ben did great. Lots of info to share and he did a great job.

[@YazzieFresh]

Love you Teddy, always love a great informative video from you, but Ben was wonderful. Would not mind seeing more

[@billb.7346]

Great review! Really enjoyed Ben's knowledge on these watches.

[@bloodshot6]

I like this style, it's good to see another take on the review.

[@rigoeats3654]

Great substitute for when you cant do it. Its great that his voice is just as smoothing haha.

[@digitunicorn]

Good job Ben

[@restaurant_watches]

I have my new SSK021 as we speak!

[@dominicrusho]

Hello substitute Teddy Bulbasaur, very nice to meet you. Kind regards

[@patrickodowd8443]

Great to see Ben on the channel! Really enjoyed this review!

[@scotty88lp]

This video made me get the gold version....Damn you teddy

[@susanpennypacker8008]

We’ll done Ben! A love Teddy’s reviews. But it’s nice to hear from another facet of the team. Really informative and interesting. The yellow dial is a lot of fun on a pretty serious timepiece

[@iAmAHobbyist]

US Market only.. i hope that Seiko Philippines would make this available locally.

[@jamesdaly1111]

Would be great to hear Ben’s opinions on Doxa’s range of dive watches

[@martinlutherking6550]

I'm waiting for Seiko to make a 38mm version of this GMT (like what they did for the diver model).

[@OmulCuCeasuri]

Can anyone recommend alternative uses for the bezel of a diver's watch?How are you using this feature? For a long time i've found the bezel pretty much useless (maybe also coming from my digital watch collection) but i want to find an excuse to buy a diver watch, some of them look pretty cool :)

[@KalidasRadhakrishnan]

In this case, if you are in a office environment that spans time zones, it helps you keep track of 2 additional time zones. Very handy

[@brianmsahin]

Very nice, excellent watches and excellent review! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@demitriaranibar8812]

I want something that looks exactly like the ssk017 but a dive watch variant instead of the gmt. Is there anything else like that? I really like the hour indicators and the cyclops with the bright yellow dial but I’m struggling to find something that looks exactly like it but a dive watch variation

[@douglasladowski6342]

Great presentation, clear and concise. Teddy your great but Ben adds a new change and would like to see his hosting skills mire.

[@danryan4137]

Damn , love the yellow dial😢 I live in Canada, wish I knew a retailer in northern Michigan.

[@jeromepaquet4233]

I sell mine

[@alanb1498]

I like but a stiffer by directional click bezel would be an improvement

[@davidcouzens6287]

I love my one. Excellent watch for the price. This guy knows his stuff

[@skyatoro]

My friend has one of these watches. He scratched his cyclops. Is there a way to buff it out? He doesn’t want to take the cyclops off.

[@chadmercer3995]

Great review! Definitely up for seeing more from Ben’s perspective 👏

[@JayFiCPA]

I already have the 003 now im tempted lol

[@Bobstone2131]

Great having Ben on the video. As for the watches. I love my SSK003 and love seeing the new colors. Would have been nice to have more gold, as in a real two tone.

[@gusreyes5447]

Will that dial and movement fit inside a skx 007 case with a screwdown crown? I’m not really sold on just a push-pull type of crown.

[@haidertarik8612]

Ben did a great job, thanks

[@Drbudweiser]

That yellow one is nice

[@Cobracarrera21]

Love the 019

[@titanispi1998]

Review was a bit rescheduled in beginning but overall good job. Watches being worn in vids need shout outs. Nice to see how watches wear and that is an easy way to add more value to the vids.

[@BeerHombre]

Definitely would like to see more Ben 👍

[@domsdomsdomsdoms]

diver style watch with underwater footage? count me in!

[@daviddesousa6450]

Yellow looks great

[@Freeskiingisdabest]

Nice colours but imo not one comes close to bot the black and blue GMT from the first release.

[@craigmoran5238]

So upset I cannot get these colours in the UK

[@ryansaunders8099]

I'd buy this in a second for $200-250... But for $500 mineral glass and the other minor downsides aren't worth it in my opinion

[@vic7939]

I like the yellow from the citizen tsuyosa more.

[@manicschizoid]

All the best Ben! Go for it!

[@theexplorer7143]

Thanks for the review. Great job Ben!

[@youwebz]

Can the bracelets be swapped out? If so, any recommendations?

[@Ashes-9]

Im planning to get one tomorrow. Can this be an everyday beater watch ?

[@andywilliams4887]

Why is Ben talking so fast? Are you paying him by the minute ? lol

[@thewhutnow5795]

Andy, if he's getting paid by the minute, why would he be talking fast? Think about that for a second.

[@sluggingbread]

​@@thewhutnow5795 Lol'd

[@motorcycleguy73]

Thank you for the review I bought one from you teddy. The 019

[@williamworgan8647]

Guests could make a cool feature every now and then !

[@mclovinhawaii3905]

I like Ben on Seiko

[@MrPauoa]

Excellent Ben! I liked the review. Thank you.

[@climb3r18]

Definitely want to see more Ben! I love seeing watches in use.

[@mharto456]

I hope they come out with a 38mm (SRPK) GMT soon

[@Killua_Overwatch]

I like that you invited Ben, but it would’ve been nice to see a different format in the video of a conversation, rather than listening to someone reading a script. Conversations evoke, much more interesting takes and often include anecdotal stories and experiences. Loved the review anyway.

[@CrazyHigh]

🔥🔥🔥 better than my SKX 💯

[@kjellbergvall4605]

My God how fast he talkes..

[@johnmexico61]

Great job Ben!

[@AXHEJAZ]

Teddy your reviews are the best

[@carloslargaespada6051]

Thanks

[@sev3337]

I have a big Question, could you tell me these Seiko where they made in Japan or China?

[@maritimuse9127]

What a great video! Loved the different take.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback

[@fist003]

more presenters are always welcomed

[@michaelsmith2873]

You guys are twins!!!
