I love the fact that you're so un-snobbish about watches. You'll sing the praises of a good watch whether it costs $50 or $50,000, whether it has a mechanical movement or quartz, whether it's Swiss or not, etc. Good man! I now have one of these, partly because of your level-headed enthusiasm, and I love it. Your videos are the best.

Congrats on the Seiko partnership, Teddy! Thank you for this review. I bought this watch in the UK on the day of release as my closest-I-will-ever-get-to-a-daytona watch. However the more I wear it the more I love it. I get so many compliments. It's also really versatile. I've worn it on leather, rubber and steal and it always looks great. Excellent performance as well. Honestly can't fault it.

Teddy - this review was long overdue. Really wanted to hunt down a Speedy Marui, but the prices for those went insane the past few years then this popped up. Couldn't wait to get this watch when it came out. Put my name on the list at my local AD (for an 813) and waited for 4 months (this was very early 2022 - believe you can get much more easily now). Pros: Size is perfect; love pandas; not a Rolex. Cons: Wish the subs were all the same size; would pay up for a mechanical option (of the same size 39mm); not a fan of the date window (but Seiko loves them). I have 0.0 regrets on the purchase and get compliments on it. Another con is the bracelet - not bad, but not great. I have swapped for both a black and a cognac quick release leather strap. Strapcode has an bracelet if you want to upgrade that looks nice - but have not.

Got the gold-faced model about a year ago. In typical Seiko fashion there were some minor QC issues (the power indicator/60 min timer just does not align, no matter what I do) but I still love it. It's an excellent "grab and go" and works for both casual and more formal settings - and with the 100m WR you can even take it to the beach!

The timer alignment (and, if it bugs you as much as it does me, the date window alignment), are why it’s best to inspect any watch in-store / in person . . . but I understand that that’s not always a possibility. Right now I’m tempted by the black titanium / green-dialed model for woods trails hikes but . . . I’m also saving for a Grand Seiko piece so . . . Having said that the Seiko ‘Daytona’ would be far more apposite to my preferred lifestyle (i.e., bored to death and not giving a sh*t about office work or dressing up for it anymore, but looking ‘woodsy’ on weekends). SBDL103 is the one I have an eye on, and the one in the shop features perfectly aligned appurtenances, rather unusually . . .

813 is so wearable and looks so clean and sporty. None of the aforementioned problems affect my enjoyment. It wears smaller than its weight (145.4 g for mine), it's not top heavy, doesnt slosh around on the wrist, and I can reach down "without looking" and start the chrono in a split second, which you can't do with a digital. So handy! It's a no nonsense, grab and go watch-enthusiasts watch that anyone can wear and enjoy. I also personally enjoy the bracelet and clasp which has gotten some criticism. Could it be better, sure, but the chunky links look manly on the smaller chrono, and I like the laser printing on the clasp Get one! I plan on grabbing the black also at a later time. So wearable

I LOVE this speedtimer as a complication watch under $1000 and as an addition for a 3-6 piece collection under $7-10k, particularly for little details like a double purpose for the bottom subdial, and then the date window not just being at "around 4:30" but actually being closer to like 4:15. That kind of playful asymmetry + value proposition makes this so much more than the "Seiko Daytona El Primero (yes there is a version with blue and grey subdials)" that people around me refer to this watch as. It's a playful take on a panda chrono that should be in any collector's affordable hit list as a tasteful homage that does and proposes more. As you said, it's either this or the Bulova Lunar Pilot/Seagull 1963 as mechanical chronographs under $1000 go, and this is DECIDEDLY the dressier and more properly sized of the three.

Thanks for sharing. Side note, after looking deeper into this one, I noticed that there is a 41mm version that came out (SSC911) and I must say that it seems like it's a little more legible with its tapered baton-like hands that are much closer to the Daytona version's.

As an MI native it’s hard for me to cheer for anything OH related. Jests aside, I’m sincerely happy for you and your success in landing Seiko 😁. For me personally it’s a really hard toss-up between Seiko and Tissot for an everyday chrono or even non-chrono options. Both brands create so much value for dollar it’s a hard choice.
