I don’t get how the Chinese brands can put sapphire on almost everything in the 50-100 dollar range but seiko can’t do it with watches in the 300+ range.

@frank327 Жыл бұрын

100% agree. This is by far the biggest turn off for me about Seiko. I can only speculate they want to retain competition within their own range with the higher end offerings. If there were less distinction between these and the lower end people might buy the higher end stuff less. But I think they have to be losing out as other lower end brands keep improving their offerings. They've lost me as a customer anyway, purely on the basis sapphire should 100% be offered at that price point.

Dont get too far, even alba their sub brands can give sapphire in 50 dollar price

@halfsourlizard9319 Жыл бұрын

@@frank327 Was basically going to say what you said ... Not sure how spicy a take it is, but I have the sense that Seiko intentionally *choose* not to put sapphire on their lower range ... to differentiate their higher-end Prospex, etc. Totally seems like the wrong way to do it -- having people walk around with scratched-up crystals isn't a good look.

It is not mini for sure. It is a nice watch, just surprised it is mineral crystal and not sapphire for the price. This watch does what Gshock has been doing on some of their models that are like 42 to 45mm, short lug to lug makes them fit my 6.8-inch wrist, and being resin I forget I am wearing it. I used to love the Seiko brand in the 80s. My first was from my Grandmother in 1981 for my 16th birthday. I knew nothing about watches back then. Enjoy your mini turtle, Jody, thanks for sharing it with us.

Excellent video Jody. For some reason most Seiko watches sold here in Turkey are Made in Japan. It's almost like a domestic market! Not everything is available but a lot is. Same for Orient I've got a couple of Orient watches I haven't seen anywhere else in Europe. Maybe it's because Turkey is within the sales region? I don't know. I do have a Buyee account thanks to you but haven't used it, because, taking into account around 24% added to the price ftom import duty and fees I've got the watches I wanted locally for the same or less with the added advantage of being able to check the alignment is ok before shelling out the spondulicks as we say in Ireland! But I still live in hope that one day I'll find a bargain!

I've got a black one and a green one (thanks to you) and I love them.

common Stilldive has only one plus over Seiko, is a price, nothing else. You have bit more money you go with Seiko, you have less you go with Chinese copying brand's. Of course having sapphire glass is good thing but it will never convince me to put this kind of brands over respected ones. I have many watches with sapphire glass and many without and all in great condition.

This watch is a good example of how dimensions don't really tell the story. If you measure the bezel diameter, it is 38mm. The xtra case dimension sort of becomes background. I also like on how the shape of the watch almost changes from different angles. On wrist from overhead it looks fat and round, but as you roll your wrist to a side view it becomes more narrow and tapered.

Great review Jody and I am glad my fav brand lured you back again. Jeez, sapphire crystal - it would hardly be a Seiko then? So I know you referred to the Prospex Logo as the X, and I guess having 2 crossed letters makes it so, but do we all know that it is made up of a P crossed over an S? Check the coloured hang tag, which has a yellow and a white PS. I just want people who don't already know to realise. Maybe it's common knowledge, and not really that important. Love you Seiko.

Even though I do like the looks of Many Seiko's I won't touch one with a 10' pole. Their QC is so terrible, and the prices have been going up and up. So it's getting difficult to justify the price/value, especially when their movements are available in the compitition... often with better spects, usually with better QC, and lower prices. The Mini Turtle is nice, but that bracelet would be gone... wouldn't even go to the trouble of sizing it. TBH the SKX 007 IS a Seiko I have thought about, but not at the prices that it's at now.

I like the watch, I wouldn't mind upgrading the "crystal", the crown I don't care much on having it sign, Seiko never had those from early years so not bothered with that detail, regarding the bracelet, I don't think I agree steeldive bracelet is very sturdy and consistent, Seiko ones not so much just look at the sport 5 and they are disappointing, but the good part of Seiko is plenty of aftermarket customizing...

Believe it or not, his plane went down in the ocean and his Seiko quart diver watch is presumably sleeping in the bottom of the Pacific. He nor the plane was ever found. I can't even make up stories like this.
