Seiko has their own Lume brand, Lumibrite, they don't use Super-Luminova and that's pretty much standard Seiko, their lume is insanely strong, regardless of price point. They have some Walter White cook cookin that Lume up.

Well, only high end models are deep filled lume, like MM300. Mid tier and low tier models only have applied lume. Still better than any swiss watches !

It’s a beautifull watch, I just can’t get over that +45/-35 seconds per day accuracy of 4R35 caliber for that money
@alfonsovl7Ай бұрын
I have a Seiko with that caliber...and it is not at all in those +/- ranges
@ottowilliamhalim4116Ай бұрын
I think Seiko is just being humble and if your Seiko ever reach +45/-35 s/d as it is mentioned on their manual book, then it is time for service. I have like more than 10 Seiko(s), none of them was that inaccurate *touchwood*. Even the vintage one.
@ventrace.watchesАй бұрын
+45/-35 is really bad. That basically means that you'll have to readjust the time on the watch every 2-3 days.
@ApurtureSciАй бұрын
I've had a few that were on the far edges of that limit, which is disappointing, but they are extremely easy to adjust at least
@kapilvohra5197Ай бұрын
4R35 is not that bad, its just that Seiko tries to be humble.... most of their watches with this movement has +_4 seconds accuracy per day. This movement is that good

If you get confused, lost, or scared in restaurants, maybe try getting hungry and deciding what you want to eat... BEFORE going in? Of course everything is more difficult for a heavily dyslexic person, but I believe the method I am suggesting will make it easier for you. Similarly, try doing the same thing with Seiko (and watches in general). First decide what you are looking for, then begin looking for it.

I believe they do it bc they understand that their segment includes lots of buyers that are getting into automatic watches. As a first time watch buyer, you’ll likely buy a piece with a date over one without… just bc. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it 🤷♂️
@TheGrenadier97Ай бұрын
Japanese days and dates are almost a tradition by now. I believe it's because they sold mostly for the average middle-class worker of the 70s and 80s that wasn't a collector, not only in Japan but worldwide. But i agree that many dials would benefit if they didn't had day-date functions, and not only from Seiko.

What bothered me of the previous generation was the bezel construction of coated aluminum and painted markers and numerals. The mear fact they look engraved now, even though it's not ceramic, removes that cheap look and you get that "punch up" in terms of quality. The King and Save the Ocean versions were so much prettier and still available from the previous versions. At least now, the standard model looks much better and smaller (not too small) and is a viable option unless you want that ceramic and sapphire treatment.
