The Best Seiko Chronograph You Shouldn't Buy | Seiko Seitona SSC813 Review

Seiko has been releasing a lot of watches satisfying the watch community. Since my discovery of the old Speedtimer line from Seiko it has since been one of my lines from Seiko. To hear that they brought back this legendary line again, I knew I had to check it out!
I know I'm a little late to this one but I couldn't help myself getting my hands on this to do a Clicky Bezel take on the Seiko SSC813 Seitona. And of course, as I started editing this video, Seiko decides to drop a few more Speedtimers which already outdated my video but I did a quick edit to mention this later in the video. I hope you all enjoy this video and please join me next time in next weeks video. You don't want to miss it!

Glad you brought this up. I’ve been considering this watch because I love the panda dial look, but I’ve held off due to the solar movement. What’s some of the best alternatives (aka Panda Dials that kinda look like a Daytona) with mechanical movements under ~$2,000?

@bananowyjestemsobie 9 ай бұрын

"Under $2000" is not really an alternative to this watch, it costs $675. No one is cross-shopping it with $2000 watches. There are exactly zero mechanical chronographs from reputable, non-Chinese brands (like Seagull) below $700. This youtuber is basically chatting out his backside regarding value. The watch is priced appropriately for what it is. If solar/quartz movements put you off but you want a proper, functional and good looking chronograph, that's ok, just prepare to splash out at least twice the money.

I own it and like it a lot. One other great thing about the watch is the large knurled crown. They did a great job with it. It looks really good. A couple of negatives for me: I wish it were a tad thinner. The slabbed polished sides are not my favorite. I also don’t care for the slightly domed crystal. Either go all the way with a large double dome, or flat. I don’t care for the slight distortion. Otherwise I love it.

4:13 I was changing the date and when I put the crown back in and pushed it, it kept spinning and spinning "infinitely," I don't know if the watch is like this or if it has had some problem, it would surprise me because it's new and it's a Seiko, but at the same time, I'm surprised that the crown doesn't stay adjusted, especially considering that the watch can withstand 100 meters underwater. I hope you can clarify my doubts.

Sorry for the late response! I would be very careful nowadays purchasing any watch online, including a Seiko. There have been a lot of fakes going around unfortunately. Seiko, to my knowledge, doesn’t offer any trade-in credit online. However, if you talk to your local Seiko dealer in store, some may do this.

My thoughts? Big plus. It's a SOLAR! Love that! Minus though is the price. Personally I become increasingly resistant as the price approaches $300 or so. That's just me. Sure, I could blow $700US on a watch . . . but won't. I remain happy with my Pagani Design panda. It's not solar but much more closely fits into what I'm willing to pay for a watch. Cosmetically it seems a pretty close match to the Seiko.

@terrydanks Жыл бұрын

@@ronch550 I have both a Seiko and a PD chrono. I like them both and, to my mind, are indeed quite comparable. As to "ripping off," both are quartz copies of a Rolex design. So, no difference on that score. Difference is, my PD model 1644 is considerably less expensive than my Seiko model SBTR017. I do prefer that the Seiko does not have screw down pushers.

I hope you at least found my video entertaining and if not, I hope my future videos are more of your liking 😃. I personally wouldn’t buy the watch at this price point. It’s a great watch no doubt! However, I expect a little more from Seiko in their QC department and refinement in finishing overall. I’m hoping as they produce more of their solar watches, they work out kinks on getting the cells hidden a bit better like citizen.

how would this fit a 5 inch wrist?

I can't speak to this unfortunately but if you've ever worn a Seiko SKX and can pull that off, this one will definitely fit! Best bet would to hit up a Seiko retailer that has one in stock to try on and see how you like it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

One of the few channels that realised the association with the 7A28/38 line, other than the 6139 Seiko mentioned. This new Speedtimer line seems to be the continuation of those old quartz chronograph, which happened to be amazing. After many years, this is the first chronograph from them worthy to be called a true successor of their old chronographs. I've been on a hunt for an affordable chronograph for years but Seiko hasn't had anything interesting. They instead completely nailed it with this new release. I have the Panda SSC813 but the 41mm line looks very good too. Props to them, can't wait to see if they're gonna release more chronos in this new Speedtimer line.

Much appreciated! I like where Seiko is heading with this line and should be interesting to see what else they come up with. Thanks for watching my video!

Wearing one right now on a bund strap - looks the business! As you say, it's very comfortable & the proportions are spot on. Overall, a very good looking piece & I'd encourage anyone who's a bit interested to try one on. I defy you not to buy it!

This chronograph on a bund strap is probably such a killer combo and suitable for its looks! Thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying your Speedtimer :)

I do like the way the watch looks- date seems sunken in a bit too much....double digits a bit too small for a glass wearing guy ha ha ha.. it it was $400-500 Canadian I would buy..
