I have the special edition, the black one, and it's a stunner. By the way, in chrono mode, you can manually switch to time mode and back to chrono mode by pressing the mode button again, the chronograph will run in the background. At first, I wanted the second hand to work in time mode as you mentioned, but after a while, I love having just the hour/minute shown, different from my other watches.

Flippin love this channel only found it few days ago now I’m hooked

This will look amazing on a racing leather strap! Love the review!

It’s bonkers, but I love it! I’m a sucker for tenth of a second sub dial on a chronograph so to have not only tenths but also hundredths of a second on an analog display chronograph is really very cool ⏱️ Fantastic show as always MWC and it’s so cool that Seiko themselves sent you this watch. Great to see such a prestigious brand working with you 🙌

My favorite Seikos are the RAF Gen I and Giugiaro SCED043 but I really like this one and the one that inspired it. Hard not to love Seiko when they come out with stuff like this.

Seiko Kinetic hack: Wrap in a sock & put in your clothes dryer, no heat /fluff. The bouncing will charge the movement for weeks/months

Love the "what the wife said" segment

I AM SEIKO STOPWATCH READY!

If Daleks wore watches - I’m pretty sure they would like this one

I absolutely LOVE your mini shows about watches. I will continue to watch many videos about watches I am not interested in (and some that I am) for pure entertainment. Thank you for your fantastic work good sir. Greetings from Texas.

I bought one in the Seiko store. Wasn’t planning on it, but this is a very impressive watch. Bit too expensive but the combination solar and the 1/100 of a second is just different. Also I think this one looks better than the limited edition versions

That thing is mental! 🤣 Kind of giving me Giugiaro vibes. I really like those 90s designs as well Very cool offering from Seiko.

I was put off when noticed the second hand wasn't aligned properly, a Seiko trait it seems, ive a 80s Seiko crono and its spot on,and my two later ones are slightly out, so when i wanted a daily watch for work, i got a Citizen titanium eco drive, its spot on 👌. 👍

£800! Jesus 😮

I like it, but when the chrono is running I feel like I'm in a plane that's going down... :) Mayday!

The pushers just scream, "Sputnik!" Too 1957 for me. Although, the dials are "totally rad, dude". Honestly, cool watch, but I cannot handle those pushers. They remind of me Betty-Jane Werkowski's ears back in high school.

It just reminds me of a dogs/cats paw and I can't get past that 😵‍💫

Wow, I'm glad now that I managed to swerve a Kinetic watch

I really like this watch. That 100th of a second hand is mental!

Man you are killing me, I just got the SSC813 paid for, then here comes your happy a** showing me this!

I like pin and collar actually. It takes the wear of link rotation and isolates it to those replaceable parts.

I wished there was running seconds for the clock mode.

Want one!!

Wife sponsored by Seiko!

I don’t have any Seiko watches but soon I will

Very cool looking

Awesome. Thanks for showing us the watch.

These are absolutely NOT my cup of tea, but I appreciate their history and that others will enjoy them.

Reminds me of the motorcycle headlamp clocks, back in the 60s, very sporty

If that was made in Japan I'd definitely have one of these.

mate your so lucky to have the Seiko man on your side i watched your episode about the Seiko rerelease of the SRPK 17 so the very next morning i visited mi ol mucker that has a watch and jewellery shop at 10am he called his contact and would you believe it they were all sold out and i mean he couldnt get one from anywhere gutted i tell ya a 55th aniversary edition on my 55 year on this spinning wonder of a planet would of made the year the decade even . i wonder if this one will sell out so fast ?. keep on ticking mate all the best

Very smart and cool. I can almost hear people saying where’s the date complication.

I like the intro music for these videos. It's a real mood perk up.

Looks cool, but really needs a running second hand on the clock dial.. hmmmmm

Looks really cool but I think it's just too expensive for a solar quartz, no ? Anyway, this is probably one of the best looking chronograph ever. Seiko really did a good job with this. Daytonas look boring next to this ! Also, your channel is probably the most interesting of them all. Amazing work 😊

It's a panda asking for hug!

My first proper watch was a Seiko Kinetic so I have a soft spot for them but sadly I messed mine up. This is pretty nice!

What watch are you wearing during the video? Looks like a blueish gray Casio?? Love your content!

It looks like the bracelet from the Seiko speed timer SSC 911 I’m looking at mine and it seems identical

My wife and I occasionally skip right to the end so we can hear what your wife says. Then I watch the rest of the video myself. Segment is that good!

Love the look of this, for the money they could have put a nicer bracelet on it, seems the same as my Seitona.. and that second hand should work in time mode.. but it is VERY cool, I will be adding it to the “buy it if it is available on a decent deal” like H Samuels 20% off

Is it just me, or is that bracelet the exact same as on the speed timers (SSC ???)?

Gimme that same button layout, but in a a more conventional dial and subdial layout, and we'd have the 7A28 remake I've dreamt of

I’ve gone all dizzy watching those hands wizzing around 🆘. Something different and a bit cheaper than the Zenith, not sure if I need one as my wife cooks my eggs, I could buy it for her 😉

Great review Russ! That watch is just cool! Definitely not my style (I'm simpleton, I'll freely admit!), but great to see something a little off the wall coming from a big brand. First the 1:1 reissue of the Seiko 5, and now this! Some fun things coming down the line from Seiko these days!

The missus is bang on yet again!

Absolutely sensational whizzy stopwatch functions. I'm not totally enamoured by the overall design, but it's a fabulous tool. Pricepoint is spot on with a discount code hehe. Great that there's a milled clasp, but pin and collar at that price level? Not so sure. 8 out of 10 for me ... Great review

Man your so good at making content .. love the comedy elements too!… click it!!😂

FAN-TAS-TIC! Now I need to start saving.

Gobsmacked 😮😮😮 Stunning, functional AND sub-1000. I love the black and white and yellow special edition, but I'm sure that will be a bit dearer.

That reminds me, I need to submit my meter readings.

I thought the same as the wife.....Looks like a paw 🐾

They could made the hour hand tells the elapsed hours on Chrono mode, instead of overlapping with the minutes

Hahahahahahaha "science watch"⌚️🧐 Top🔥💯💯💯

Not quite bulova precisionist levels. Very cool though.

I hate it when my capacitor goes “kaput-zee” 😂

Incidentally, Seiko makes quartz chronographs with clicky pushers. I have a 6t63-00d0 that does it.

Can it only time up to 1 hour?

Damn. Missed the premiere. Well in any case, as a huge sucker for chronographs, this is nuts. Damn near everything I want and nothing I don’t… no 24hr dial, no date function… just the core chronograph functions I’m looking for. Though the lack of running seconds is a bit disappointing. When I get back to. having a proper full time job, this might be one I’ll keep an eye on. Killer show Sir!

Not a fan of chronographs as I think they are just too busy. But the way this one is laid out, it's easy to read. And I agree about the seconds hand. It needs to be moving. First and foremost, it's a watch so.. be a watch, right?

FANTASTIC WATCH I THINK SEIKO DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

Reminds me of a paw, brilliant 😂

So cool! Thanks for showing us this one Russ 💪🏻

Maybe you'll make a video on how to use a chronograph and a tachymeter watch. That would be nice 🙂 Thanks for the video

If I had spare money and spare slot in my too big collection, I will get this one. Just so unique and cool. Thanks MWC

It reminds me of Casio. The one with triple 'subdial's.

It's pretty kool but I love for Seiko to bring back the Pogue, the Bruce Lee Speedtimer or the Speedtimer Roger Moore wore in a View to Kill. 100p like the originals with no unessarsary changes

I'll tell you: I blew hot-and-cold about the Kinetic-era Seikos of this design backnin the day: Yeah, Jay Leno wore his for years on his *Garage* KZfaq videos, but I never got warm-n-fuzzy about them (never mind the issues with a Kinetic movement watch you didn't wear constantly). I think Seiko seriously got it right with the new edition: Solar absolutely makes the watch a breeze tonlive with, while all the cool stuff of the old series remains intact - better, IMO, since I prefer the style of several independent dials encased within a "normal" watch case/dial. Not sure about getting onecofvmy own just yet, but I'd be way less anxious about parting with that much cash for this. (Which reminds me: with all the carping about Seiko's prices these days, can we take note of how much less these are than their predecessors?) Great review again, Russ.

still trying to sell my seiko riders chrono. do you like the timex Q? mine arrived last week

Not for me but love that feature where you can 'quickset' the hands. I have an old Gshock ani/digi and the only way to set the time (for summertime adjustment) is to hold the set button and waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. It's painful so yeah, that quickset is great forward thinking. Damn though, that right dial could take someone's eye out if it broke loose 😁

10 years ago Victorinox came out with a 1/100th chronograph that is also a perpetual calendar, and you can switch between the chrono and the time on the fly. It's called the Chrono Classic 1/100th.

I have the Panda. It is super cômfortable and stunning on the wrist. I’ve been collecting Seiko for years and this is a favourite….it is very cool.

Very steam punk looking for me , a watch Jules Vern would wear , reminds me of a ww2 sea mine with its buttons ! I'd go dizzy watching the 100th a sec hand spinning !😅

SEIKO, what can i say? i own 2 rolex, 1 omega, still my best one , is the seiko srph81 wound X worn, special edition... a killer, frederic from PARIS, FRANCE, love and support the channel, always.

I love this chanel... really makes my day..

bulova precisionist has an quartz analogue stopwatch that does 1/1000 of a second and a second hand that sweeps like a spring drive

I almost bought this watch. I was this >< close...but, I bought the Seiko SSC911 Prospex Solar Speedtimer with the silver face dial. It felt more practical to me.

Could have used a date window either to the right or left of the hour dial. Plenty of room.

It should be nicknamed "Paw print"

I’ll wait for the JDM

Love this. More importantly though, how's the nursery coming on? Are you now in the cellar or the garage?

The Seiko Sputnik

Thank you Mad Watch Collector for reviewing this watch. I saw the social media adds introducing this watch and was immediately intrigued. You have definitely convinced me of adding this watch to my Seiko watch collection. I just recently bought Seiko Prospex SSC813P panda and just wondering do I buy another panda version or mix it up? Hmmmm. 🤔

Honestly love this watch

Awesome review! This is the watch Dr. Emmett Brown should have used in "Back to the Future" 😲 I'd love to get one, but it's just a bit too expensive.

What was the mechanical watch you compared it to at the end?

Oh yeah I'm really liking this! It's a bit sci-fi but a bit Spitfire cockpit n'all 🤣🤣

Reminds me of my Citizen Promaster SST with the three top subdials. To be honest I prefer that look to the ones here. But interesting nonetheless.

Nice watch. Wish it had lum on all the dials and made somewhere else besides China 😂

I believe the movement or rather module is unique to this specific line of watches.

It's out of my budget, but what a watch! I'm absolutely stunned, really retro looking, really modern touches! The only complains (except the price!) are: -the lume is just... meh. I hope it will last longer in the dark, for that price I expect a bright pair of hands 😊 Yeah, I don't want to use a chrono in the dark, but at least I hope to read the time... -the bracelet is sooooo anonymous... A 5-7 links, even shiny, could look better on that monster. At the end of the day, even if I can't have it, 4 monkeys out of five! Good job Seiko! And good review Russ! 🐒🐒🐒🐒❌

He's such a good presenter, like professional he could be on the telly make a great cbeebies presenter

Very cool watch Russell. I like it.. And even the wife likes it! Bonus!! 😊

Really cool watch. Bonkers in the right way. However, isn't it a bit hard to read the 1/100 sek?

Seiko Fukushima Panda perhaps. Top work MWC!

The next Seiko for me is the pogue reissue 🤞

SSC813 vs SFJ001 ??? opinions ? what is the best panda?

There's no permanent running second, so you can't expect any precision time exept when chrono is released and that's really too bad for me !...😢

I know you're a Seiko fanatic, but have you heard of Lorier? They make fantastic retro inspired watches and I would love to hear your take on them

Love the watch, looks so cool👍👌
