NEW SEIKO 4th Generation Monster SRPD25 SRPD27

[@jaykenigsberg2162]

Fourth generation is beautiful. Wear at work, night out, weekend, fits any environment. Build is awesome. Seiko does it again!

[@CowboyBimbap]

Came here for the Monster, stayed because of the voice

[@ClearBrookExotics]

Right?!

[@Dafke875]

Dito!

[@Jackonda21]

Correct

[@jakeeleebattos9942]

I know...this guy sounds like he was on the radio and if he WASNT he sure should be

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Bought the SRPD27 a few weeks ago, really been enjoying it. Great review!

[@fungus70]

Initially I thought this new gen is a watered down monster but after some months on consideration and deliberation, it has grown on me. It is definitely more refined and not so tool like. Very nice piece, especially like 025 with the blue dial and patina indices.

[@herts9999]

Ended up putting the new SRPD25 on a black nato with a cream stripe. Something about that and the contrast with the black bezel and cream indices really sets off the blue dial. I think it's a winner.

[@watchvideosreview]

Sounds like a great combination! 👍😊

[@sylvainalain6637]

First time here, man your voice , I hope that you do some radio stuff :)

[@ArniesTech]

I could SWEAR I Heard His voice either in real Radio or fictional one like in GTA Vice City or something. This voice is smooth like fine polished Gold 💪😅

[@7rslender]

I was not interested in the monster before this generation. Now I am really considering one.

[@watchvideosreview]

That’s good to hear! Thanks for your comment. More to come soon😊

[@7rslender]

@@watchvideosreview I gravitate towards the black one ... but then again, the blue one would look killer on an admiralty grey G10 strap

[@michaelknapp8961]

I just bought the D 27. Absolutely love it!!! I don’t like the old monsters. This is a major step up. Your voice is amazing. You need to be in radio!!!

[@delagarzapaola]

Wow, absolutely in LOVE with it, I don’t know why I haven’t seen the Monster line before, I think the 4th gen is much more refined, just bought mine in the blue dial srpd25, waiting for it to arrive tomorrow! Great video and thanks for the review. 😊

[@wlnmn7217]

Beautiful watches, and a very nice review of the 4th gen. However, the 3rd gen is conspicuously absent from this comparison. For me, the 3rd gen was the apex design for the original Monster case. The 3rd gen was what I wanted to see from them for years. Now 3rd gens are very difficult to find. When I first saw the 4th gen I was disappointed at the design departure. But the more I looked, the more I liked it. The 4th gen is a beautiful watch and a worthy addition to the Prospex line.

[@watchyouwant1617]

This watch is really growing on me. Somehow in between a dressier and a more tool-watch-like diver. Great video and a fantastic speaking voice!

[@watchvideosreview]

More guys seem to be warming up to this one, it’s doing something different in it’s design. Thanks for watching! More to come soon😊

[@GrandHeresiarch]

I bought one of these as a desk diver. Couldn't be happier. Prefer it on a NATO bond strap or brown leather myself.

[@1968jpy]

Awesome review as always. Thanks for the beautiful mountain scenery and your watch collection is amazing 😉👍🏻

[@ErikS-]

I didnt read any of the comments, but your voice immediately caught my attention. The “baby blue” watch (Seiko AGS) is a beauty by the way.

[@demikelis11]

Just bougt myself the 4th gen monster Prospex a few days ago. This video played a big part in my decision to buy it. Beautifull watch. Great video!

[@watchvideosreview]

Thank you it’s great to hear that, I have a new video up today shortly

[@Liam-nx7hf]

Great video thanks. I don’t like how the fluting on the bezel which continues into the case is now tapered. The industrial architecture of the original is a design classic. It’s less monster and more Casper the friendly ghost now.

[@ForbinColossus]

The quality of this vid reminds how much we missed you. Pls keep posting! Can you share the name of that store with the all of those Monsters? @8:42 SRP315 - "FANG" 2nd gen is still available on ebay for $300.-ish new. You coined *FANG* for the 2nd gen.

[@ghenghiskhan39]

Great review. Great to see you back. 👍👍👍

[@shawnlavigne9069]

4th gen is the most refined imo.

[@urizon41]

I wish they would come with sapphire. I feel like for the price it should come with.

[@theodoremaya5790]

Saw it in a store and was very impressed. Think a white dial version would be amazing

[@jacknjill3000]

Yes and I thought the monster would be huge on my small wrist and saw one in a store with the rubber band and it was gorgeous. Now I want one and why I’m looking on KZbin to find out more about the new monster.

[@t-murdock]

Always love your videos man! Cheers.

[@watchvideosreview]

Thanks so much for watching😊

[@ajmarion]

Great review! I was looking for a durable watch I can use in and out of the ocean this summer, and went with the SRPD25. It was a tough choice between this and the Arnie :)

[@mw6563]

Just got an SRPD27 “Monster” today. Macys had a 50% off flash sale which made it irresistible. Sits on my wrist perfectly and just the aesthetic I was wanting.

[@taazen74]

I like the overbuilt versions much better. If they could keep that, with the bigger cutouts and also more shiny steel, I would love it. Also would be nice with sapphire and their top movement. 💖🌠🙏

[@johncherry1870]

The voice of a sports broadcaster, so nice to listen to you share your review. Thank you.

[@fvlok]

Just ordered the SRPD27. I have both the save the ocean Antarctica versions

[@DMBVR4]

My opinion is I bought one having never seen it before. No opinions to direct or sway or convince me one way or the other. I saw it, I tried it on, I went home with it. Its absolutely stunning... and the blue lume on this model destroys the lume on my SKX.

[@kidatheart-1957]

Great review, great voice ... sounds like Jon Miller the former SF Giants announcer which may explain the love for the orange monster. Thank you.

[@laxballdmw]

IMO The new version makes the older Monsters look tacky and dated. Saw the black 27 in person today and was blown away. Makes my old SKX007 feel like a toy.

[@ArniesTech]

Are you a Radio host? Your voice is GOLD 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@rabbibacongrease88]

The audio quality is amazing

[@paulparker4240]

Hello: I just picked up the steel bracelet Monster yesterday and love it. I saw it in the display case while just window shopping and loved the style. This could be my final watch...unless there's a ProSpec spring drive released. Better start saving my pennies!

[@davidclarke1731]

Just got my watch and it's great! Quality is excellent.

[@nickdebenedetto2087]

I love the Monster! It was a watch that I was a little unsure of at first, but I’ve really grown to love it. I have a Jade 3rd gen in my collection and I think it is my favorite monster ever. The 4th gens have grown on me, but I still prefer gen 2/3 design.

[@fvlok]

Do you feel different yet after 2 years?

[@fvlok]

Have you seen those awesome Save the Ocean lines with the stainless bezel?

[@xr3217]

I have the seiko limited edition zimbe 13 seiko monster or the baby tuna. What ever people want to call it. I absolutely love it. I had the SRP637 but sold it for the zimbe 13. I put the gold end endmill bracelet on it and it is absolutely amazing. Number 323 out of 999.

[@bnswsabz9586]

Neither am i a fan of the monster, but after trying it on, woh i got to have it. The 42.4mm diameter fits really well even on a small wrist liked mine 6 & 1/2 inch, either with a steel bracelet or Seiko Strap. it fits really nice..

[@fudog73]

Great Video 👍🏻. Please more! The 4 generation is top too! I have the second in orange

[@SammaxMunich]

I hereby suggest to call the SRPD27 the "Guinnes Monster"! I just bought this watch an the colours of the watch the beer match perfectly - 100%! It's not a clean black, but a very dark brown, and the lume and the bezel is a very light brown-beige, Just Like the Guinnes head. Beautiful!

[@hendryongkowidjojo3523]

I bought the black one literally because seeing your video. Thanks

[@gman6862]

Its like the movie trailer voiceover guy speaking about watches!

[@timemachineeddie1146]

I own 4 Monsters. From the Original Orange Monster SKX 781 to a 100th Anniversary Blue Monster. A Modded SRP 581 Florida Arctic Monster and a 100th Anniversary Blue Baby Tuna Monster. I will take a pass on this New one. Maybe Get the Emerald Monster and the last 100th Anniversary Land Monster. Then I own all three,. An amazing video. Sure miss the beauty of the Alps Eagles Nest and all. Thanks for sharing. "Sie ist Sehr Schon."

Love the detailed comment!🙏 you’ve got a true monster collection👍Thanks for watching😊

[@seavee2190]

I purchased the black dial SRPD27 and it's a really nice divers watch.. If you can get for around 300, it's a no brainer to me!

[@tantu2395]

[@daleclark3138]

Good review. I ordered the one on the bracelet today. I have one 1st gen and four 2nd gen in my collection. Love the blue dial on this new one.

[@watchvideosreview]

Thanks for watching the channel! New video coming soon 😊👍

[@caomhan84]

I have to say that after getting my first Turtle, I've come to appreciate my 1st-gen Monster from 2004 more. I like my Turtle, but the Monster, even 1st gen, has a better crown and the bezel runs smooth like it's on ball bearings. Not even modern Seikos do that. What happened? Plus that loevely domed crystal. Man do I wish the Turtle had that.

[@watchvideosreview]

The original designs have tremendous appeal, it’s hard not to appreciate the unique industrial style of the original case designs..😊 thanks for watching, more to come soon🙏

[@LeftThumbBreak]

Prettier but less unique, less Tuna like with the more common style case. Thanks for the in-depth look.

[@watchvideosreview]

Thanks for your thoughts on these! It’ll be interesting to see if we get different colors in the future on these😊

Great collection! Nice video, I love the Seiko Divers. Greetings

[@jacknjill3000]

Great review and thanks! I just got the SRPD25 and love it. I just had it sized and glad I took it into a shop to have it sized bc it looked very difficult. It has a 2 pin system and one pin is tiny. I still haven’t worn it outdoors and the lumi isn’t that bright and may need sunlight to charge it vs room light? So I was wondering if the Padi version has a brighter lumi and different color lumi or are they all suppose to be the same?

[@zeuloa]

Saw both today; the lume on the PADI is whiter instead of that yellowish tint. Not sure if they differ in the dark as I saw them in the store - both beautiful, it would be hard to decide!

[@JudasIscariot81]

I recently found a brand new mint SRP315 in Singapore. Still no luck with the Dracula, can only find them super used and at astronomical prices on ebay.

[@mosmicke]

Great video, I'm not a huge fan of the monster, but I do like the new dials! Also, the candy bar cyclops looks kinda cool, but seems to be easily misaligned :-/

[@LeShark75]

Brilliant video Sir. Thank you.

[@giuliob5099]

which do you suggest the green sumo or the new monster?

[@watchvideosreview]

I’d personally go for the monster on a silicone strap, it feels great on the wrist! Thanks for watching😊

[@dalqamounimohammad5438]

Thank you for your Video, I love this kind of watches and wanna buy one soon :)

[@JohnSmith-ip2ed]

Nice video. I didn't really like the 3rd generation over my two end generation black monsters. Still unsure about that Cyclops crystal. Might wait for my baby tuna to arrive and make a decision then. Otherwise a great looking watch

[@dustinr16]

Great video. This new design is too far a departure from the original monster’s design in my opinion. Definitely keeping my 3rd generation. Unless they do a stainless steel bezel and ditch the candy bar cyclops I’ll pass on these. I highly doubt most Seiko Monster fans like this new model but I suppose it may attract some buyers who previously overlooked the Monster.

[@mike-uw6wt]

Agree. As monsters go, this thing is a disaster. Looks like parts mixup of the stargate, monster, and samurai.

[@watchvideosreview]

I think you might be right, thanks for your thoughts on this one! Cheers, thanks for watching😊

[@rhonda837]

so true.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

SEIKO Monsters are somewhat "brutalist" if you want to see it that way, I even thought that too before it occurred to me that this is a type of "Tiki" tech/flower, sea animal sort of design, people don't get that at first, it just lays in their subconscious.

[@watchvideosreview]

Interesting design perspective😉 Thanks for coming back to the channel 😊🙏

[@WorldTravelerCA]

Orange Monster is the only real iconic watch for me from the whole lineup and what they made this year blue dial in the black bezel I think it’s very poorly chosen colours as well as dials became looking like its Orient XL-very boring I only wish that Seiko will not screw up Seamaster as well as the turtle as these two are my favourites.

[@jayh9144]

Like the older iconic design. Especially the orange monster.

[@wojciech5177]

fully agree, both looks better on the strap

[@jasontuck5619]

awesome detailed video, great ,thanks so much.

[@nickdebenedetto2087]

Can you make any recommendations about good sources to keep an eye on with regard to limited edition Seiko releases? I’m starting to grow quite fond of the Turtle and am drawn to the limited edition Turtles because of how unique they are. The problem is that by the time I find out about a particularly cool edition, they are mostly sold out and then are on the second-hand market.

Very well done video very interesting! Thank you very much! I bought the same model just special edition save the ocean very blue dial lovely colour! Stay safe

[@khronokraze]

It's been a while. But, another good video. I like the new monster design. I could do without the candy bar magnifier. And, i would love to see the eventual expansion or color range on the 4th gen, especially with a stainless steel (non-colored) bezel. I find the new case back more attractive as well. I love blue lume. And, if seiko does blue lume, u can bet it will be as near as good as the "strandard" green colored lume. Never owned a monster, but this would make me consider one for the first time. As with your watches, that sports 200 alpinist is pretty cool. Any difference to the "red alpinist" other than some verbage on the dial and perhaps a little more red accents on the red alpinist? I think your sports 200 is maybe nicer jn the fact it looks cleaner.

[@watchvideosreview]

Great to hear your thoughts on the new ones! The sports alpinist is essentially the same as the “red” model, it’s just a very rare version of the white dial with the same 4s15 movement 😉👍 Thanks for watching😊

Yeah not too impressed with it. It's like the lovechild of a Monster and a Samurai. I don't like the PVD bezel, I don't like the loupe, I don't like the fitted curved endlink bracelet and I don't like the distorted reflections on the case, which is something they absolutely eliminate on Grand Seiko models - now of course I don't expect the same level of finish on this, but it proves that they can do much better and if they're moving upmarket then why is the finish worse than on my 1st gen Monster. Always cool to see one of your videos pop up in my feed though.
