The SNKL23 was my first automatic watch, my wife bought it for me for our wedding when we didn’t have much money. Even though my collection has grown considerably with much more expensive watches it’s still my favorite and most special. Truly is an incredible watch, even though I might be biased due to sentimental value.

[@ANNOYMOUS908]

This is what I love about our hobby the price tag doesn't really matter if it's a great watch it's a great watch

[@lucgeoffrion1970]

I must say that that was one of the best reviews of KZbin, all youtubers considered. Details, interesting, constructive, all inclusive of most of the Seiko, one of my favorite brand. Very, very well done!!

[@brianmccord7387]

This is a great compilation of these elusive under the radar value priced Seikos. You've done us a great service. I am sorely tempted by that weird Kinetic model in Alpinist colors.

[@jaconstable8983]

10/10 for effort Ben. Comprehensive and interesting.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Nice round up of the valuable pieces in their line up. With the amount of watches they release they've always got me looking for bargains to review on my channel.

[@axelmartinezpersson2268]

I love that you always include some goodies for us small wristed fellows. Keep up the great work Ben!

[@irfoxe]

Just when i was looking for a new Seiko watch, thx ben. Definitely helping me a lot.

[@_briantravis]

Been looking for a video like this for a while! Keep up the great work!

[@vatazhka]

It's an excellent summary of entry-level Seiko watches. Thank you for quality content, I think it's exactly what people new to the hobby look for.

[@matthewsanders6499]

The SUR503 is a very inviting design. Would be cool to get it in a Solar or Auto movement. Seiko pulled off the angular, experimental design without looking like a mall watch.

[@K.Maroon]

Hello Ben! Just want to say thanks for all of your advises. I recently started collecting digital Casio watches, all thanks to you) Keep doing what your are doing, because your content helps people to get into watches, especially those who knew nothing about them (like myself before I discovered your channel) P.S. sorry for bad English

[@eliotsalandybrown]

Thank you for a super clear, informative, and engaging video! I really value your selections and opinions.

[@drebarthelotte5712]

Thank you Ben so much for your hard work in this video. I learned.😊

[@Seajay2016]

Love my Seiko SKA791! I switched the band for a metal band instead of the leather. It changed the look and feel of the watch a lot!

[@2011djkuno]

This list is 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for this ben! 👌

[@robh.2400]

Great job! Nice Seiko showcase.

[@shj2000]

Whew! This was a big piece of work. Nice job!

[@C0nchis]

Congratulations. You have shown lots of beautiful Seiko time pieces, with valuable comments and top video quality. I love wristwatches and I particularly like the Seiko ones.

[@renegadearcadehighs3103]

Nice video. Great stuff

[@WestCoastAce27]

Wow. Great finds esp the blue field watch w orange highlights and the Ti chrono at the end.

[@neilpinkett]

Great vid.. loads of effort there.

[@ninosalvati379]

Awesome video...Great list and I really appreciate the time and effort this took...wow! I'll be scouring the list to get a few picks, and the sponsor sir is a game changer. Honourable mention should go to the SSB413P1 amazing dial, quartz chrono, 10bar WR, and less than £200...honeslty wait to you see the dial....😊

[@alfreddervishi7175]

The seiko 5 snk800 line is great. My snk809k is my first real watch and my favorite ❤

[@ripsapollonia]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the mamacoo book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@billybillson2134]

Great video thankyou 🔥 🥰

[@punkypink83]

so very happy i picked up a mini turtle brand new in box that was new old stock. not just any mini turtle either, but the PADI edition, for under £400!

[@Watchmade]

Great video and assortment if nice Seiko. My humble Seiko „collection in the collection“ consists of 4 models. First: Seiko 5 SNXS81 where I changed movement (to NH36), crystal to sapphire and the bracelet to a proper j style bracelet. Second: brown dial SNXA13. Also here I am going with a nice aftermarket j style bracelet. Third: SNK355 like the one you showed here only the silver version. Fourth: Maybe the nicest, my green globe dial SNK665. Such a nice watch. Well a gold/champagne, choclate brown, white silver and jade green dial sitting side by side. Looks just awesome.

[@pzwolski]

It was a pleasure to watch this movie, Ben. Now it is time for Citizen one. 😊

[@AdAce21]

the black and glit dreskx is a fantatic-value watch, and you'll have plenty of $$ left over to upgrade the bracelet and the crystal (to musts imo). I also upgraded mine with a movement with a black kanji day/date wheel. 21:01 - The SSC models are also fantastic values. Sapphire crystal, solar, good dimensions, and no 24 hour subregister!!

[@MyYewTubeAccount]

I own a few Seiko's and I think one of the best value Seiko's you can buy, although not automatic but is meca-quartz is the SBTR027 or other colour way's. I've swapped the SRPG29 Oyster bracelet onto mine and often get compliments about it.

[@philspencelayh5464]

Quite a few there to explore, agree about SNKXS(77 in my case) comes with hardlex which scratches, replaced with double domed sapphire looks fabulous and the dial really pops.

[@chicken-little8620]

I love my Seiko sur 503 with the green dial and stainless steel design with a flashy but sporty feel

[@Hant84]

Great video Ben, top notch. I though I'm going to see Seiko Avenue 8M26-7030 (or 8M26-600A) being mentioned. It has a good built quality with lots of functions with a low pricetag.

[@raynalwickremeratne783]

Seiko also has a couple of perpetual calendars. I own a seiko perpetual calendar SPC 251p1. It's a watch worth reviewing!

[@marsyavarinza2953]

RIDGE RACER TYPE 4!!! Haha the soundtrack is phenomenal indeed. “Your Vibe” is my favorite. I have a SNK375 which is pretty much the same watch as SNK371 but with a black dial and red 20 minute track. It’s my favorite watch

[@talatoskay8693]

SUR503 is an underrated one. Very cool dial, but I wish it had a 38 mm version.

[@BensWatchClub]

same!

[@memesshades3163]

Świetny materiał! Dziękuję.

[@ilianto]

That SRPD/SRPE case is just... Eternally gorgeous! ❤

[@alfredklek]

I've been wearing an SRPJ85. It's a 24 hour dial field watch, almost identical to the SRPG27 but with a smaller 36mm case. They seem to making a 36mm variant of the Aviator style field watch as well. I like it, if it was lost or stolen I'd buy another.

[@Olddirtytiger]

The Sportiva Macchina Honeycomb Dial Seiko is one of my faves , it is similar to that last one on the list ...also I'm a 8 inch wrist guy so I love my Coutura beast

[@RS3NDIT]

Just picked up my own SRPD93 from Costco for just $179.99 Fantastic watch. My first seiko, and my first watch purchase for myself. Consider me hooked already, haha

[@brunoteixeira6078]

This was the first time I’ve seen a mention to the SNK366. It’s one of my favorite Seikos. The SNKK87K1 is another hidden gem.

[@jnuty85]

these are some bangers!

[@moxa0816]

I wear JDM SBPX083 and love it!!! Maybe you should have include that one too. Also SKK703J1 is a great option.

[@ablinder4684]

Hi Ben, where can I get replacement oyster like bracelet for the blue and white sur309,307 watches? Or do you recommend something else for a more dressy look? Thanks

[@dave-ld8mo]

Funny how you mentioned each color option of the Seiko Solar SNE52 line except for the one I wear, the SNE523 with its silver dial. IMO the best looking colorway.

[@pjmq]

I actually bought a Wise Adamacus off the back of your unboxing for this video on the other channel 😂 you should do a full review of it.

[@Gigachad-hb7ji]

Would you be reviewing the Ratio Freediver skx homage? Those seem to have great specs!

[@user-oj1kk2wf1e]

My experience with NKUWAN was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.

[@ender1077]

Great list! I would add the SACM150 - Dolce

[@mrkitewine7700]

This! And also the SACM171 Dolce

@BensWatchClub❤Hello mate! Just wanted to say thank you. Believe or not, your content is top tier in this industry! Keep up the good work mate ✊

[@bluecollarwatches7048]

Wow I have a lot of these models, I really like seiko watches but usually only buy one only if I find a deal on one since a lot of outlets overcharge for them.

[@HonoluluBlue81]

SUR series is a hidden jem. I have the 307. 40mm, silver sunburst dial, sapphire crystal, 100m wr. Paid $120 usd. Bracelet isn’t great but it has 20mm lug width and looks good on almost every strap.

[@Valera_Scotland]

Would be amazing to see your take on CWC G10. Just had mine for a few weeks. Amazing little watch. Small, vintage looking, beautiful dial, deadly accurate... and for the price it's got to be one of the best field watches?

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

I agree; owned mine for about 3-4 years now - very comfortable and cool watch 👍🇬🇧

[@Ashes-9]

Such an amazing list. I just got a Seiko 5 GMT black grape. I plan to wear it everyday. Can it be good daily beater watch ? I used a Gshock steel B500 before this. Pls advice !

[@Ricelord4]

The first automatic watch that I ever got was the Seiko SNK789. My dad gave it to me when he noticed that I was interested in watches. I need to get it serviced so that I can start wearing it again every day.

[@RepriseFan]

I believe on your mention of SUR390 that you actually meant SUR309. I do not see a SUR390 listed anywhere but the 309 is exactly the one you are showing on this vid.

[@jessebechtold2973]

So I’m torn between the Dress KX and the sKX Midi. Which would you recommend for a 6 in wrist?

[@tyronepalma3854]

I bought the snk361 a year ago and it's just such a great little watch

[@VENATOR9]

Seiko needs to bring back their digitals. The calculators where sick! There is a big market gap

[@kentsutherland6486]

Would be great to add the height of the watches since some of us are looking for watches that will fit easily under cuffs. Great work.

[@lawrencedevere2242]

The SNKL23 is the first nicer watch I have bought (I have the silver dial variant with the striped inner dial) and it keeps great time and I do actually get compliments on it, plus I can wear it no matter the occasion, if you can get one and they don't discontinue it defo pull the trigger.

[@aapddd]

I like the green and I’m looking at the kinetic, or get my first automatic watch and go for a pressage. What would you do ?

[@Matt47749]

Hello Ben, love your videos. Very informative and worthwhile. I was recently watching a few of your older videos and noticed your hair. Not sure if this is a sore topic but how come you decided to shave your head? Hair loss, or some other reason? Just curious, anyways, cheers!

[@BensWatchClub]

Hi Matt, yeah my hair was receding for a little while and it was just too much maintenance, so I decided to just buzz it off. Much easier, cheaper and cleaner haha

[@Matt47749]

@@BensWatchClub haha, well in my opinion, you’re rocking the new look 🤙

[@TekindusT]

The SNKL23 truly is a special piece. It is a watch capable of changing somebody’s taste towards watches, it sure did change mine. I discovered with this watch how well smaller case sizes suit me. It is the go to when you don’t know what the day is going to throw at you. All these qualities made me reconsider my future collection choices and start saving for a GS SBGX261.

[@franklaoshi7527]

Same happened to me when I purchased SNKL41, after that I’ve got Casio duro, Casio g-shock and Heimdallr seiko SKX007 homage.

[@Noid1220]

That was my 1st automatic watch and what got me into watch collecting

[@mas502arc]

Same here! The SNKL23 is what did it for me as well.

[@taylorbervik9417]

Do you guys still recommend this model or is there a newer budget option?

[@misaroorasim]

I recently got the SRPG35 which seems like quite a good budget Hamilton field alternative.

[@jesterdejoseph4835]

good day sir. can you please make a review of seiko 5 snkp11k1? Thanks

[@2Boogeyman703]

Love my Seiko SRPE55 (black version) - 👍👍👍

[@Max_Mustermann]

The prices for discontinued Seiko 5 models really seem to have gone through the roof in recent years. The SNK80X military/field line for example retails for up to 200 EUR in some online stores, which is almost as much as the replacement models. Only a couple years ago they cost around 50-70 EUR.

[@surfside75]

Knew about this before they stopped producing certain seiko 5 so I bought two of each I liked😂. Think I did alright as all my watches have gone up in value. Really glad I picked up 2 skx007 though as I adore the watch and now minimum price is $600 all the way to over 1k us for j versions🥶🙄 -I did predict this would happen though😅

[@Max_Mustermann]

@@surfside75 That's one way to do it. I only bought a SNK803 and by the time I started thinking about buying another model, they were discontinued.

[@rgentryherrera]

I wear an spb401j1 daily and I love it.

[@jeid3822]

Sir kindly do the review of tje SEIKO SARX115 or SARX 117 THANKS

[@F56tho]

So for a person who’s interested in buying a FIRST time watch. Barely getting into watches. What would you personally recommend? Whats best for starters? Everyday wear. I wear alot of gold. I just dont want the want it all gold. Preferably two tone. Thanks.

[@wastedaga1n]

Seiko Sagz083 is amazing. $300 new, Titanium, Sapphire, Radio Wave Control, 100m water resist, Solar. You can press the button on the size to see if it connected last night. Amazing piece. What would you improve? It's beautiful, classy and dead on accurate.

[@valengreymoon5623]

There is a set of 4 SUR37x models that are titanium with sapphire crystals.

[@nicolaisidek]

Can the quartz SUR swap straps or is it fixed?

[@V0idFace]

You should check out the SNK623. My personal favorite Seiko 5

[@magstheonlyone]

The SUR535 is also a great one

[@noobfl]

"better low light performance" is the most understated description the lume of the SNZG. This watch is one of the best lumed watches on the planet - period. And was the best lumed watch in my collection, regardless of price, style or origin, no watch i had or have comes even close to the SNZG lume.

[@sorefingertips2667]

What’s that robot looking watch holder stand in 15:01? Would love to know about it!

[@greenerick]

Have a Seiko LX titanium spring drive wear it much more than the Omega Seamaster because it's stealth weath nobody notices it any way great video

[@zwerko]

After nearly two years without any Seikos, I got me a nice deal on Presage Cocktail Time - Negroni a few weeks back (got it for 240€ brand new!) and remembered why I used to like Seiko so much... I still refuse to buy their limited edition, over-inflated nonsense, but there is a reason why they were the 'gateway drug' for so many...

[@racing_mntage1584]

Not my style honestly but still a good timepiece, although it's up for around 340eros here in India.

[@Big_LosF]

I’ve got the srph85 , definitely a great watch, it being automatic and at the price point it does it for men.

[@absar8304]

I have been trying to find this watch Seiko SUR319 but have not been able to anywhere

[@rodrigozayit]

Hi mate. how about SNKP17?

[@thodorisk77]

Why does almost everyone not mention the Seiko Prospex SNE573P1 or the Prospex SNE569P1 which are brilliant 38.5mm dive watches, with solar, saphire, 200m, brilliant build quality. I have both and no issues with misallignment. Amazing value for money.

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Hot take: Seiko would be much more appealing if they drastically reduced the number of models. Love or hate Rolex, everyone knows what a Daytona is or a Skydweller or a Submariner. Nobody has the slightest idea what 99% of the random Seiko reference numbers are; many of the nicer models are JDM-only (or otherwise artificially geofenced); and (one presumes) producing a smaller number of SKUs would allow proper QA (e.g., chapter-ring alignment).

[@BensWatchClub]

Agreed, it would also reduce the number of little-know great watches that get almost instantly discontinued with no marketing behind them! The same ones that scalpers inevitably end up reselling for double the RRP

[@MemoryUtilizer]

Turtle “Willard” is the most underrated watch today. Still holding 200WR and it’s a classic style.

[@pratinjaysharma8313]

Hi Ben, I am planning to buy a Seiko Sports 5 SSK GMT, what are your opinions on that watch and is it still a value for money watch? Looking forward to your comment.😊 Love the video❤

I got a silver SUR447P1 for work and it has sapphire glass. Really low profile and works well with a NATO strap. I'd rather have sapphire over a generic auto movement.
