Seiko watches feel like they have been around from the beginning of time. It all started in a watch and clock repair shop on the streets of Japan. These humble beginnings have since transformed into one of the most popular watches in the market. Among the many accolades, stretching from Olympic timers to official railway […]
Seiko Prospex Samurai SRPB51 Automatic Dive Watch Review
For all its capability and panache, the coolest part of Seiko’s new line of dive watches might just be their nickname: Samurai. There are a lot of Seiko models that have been given sweet nicknames, but I don’t think any can match this one for sheer awesomeness. That’s not all this watch has to offer, […]
Seiko Recraft SNKM97 Green Dial Automatic Watch Review
Perusing Seiko’s vintage-inspired Recraft series makes for an entertaining venture to long-gone periods of watch design. While not all of the timepieces there have a strong old-fashioned feel, the Recraft SNKM97 looks like it was pulled directly out of a 1970s smoking lounge. Something about the way the emerald green and gold play with each […]
Seiko SUP896 Dress Watch Review
Seiko’s SUP896 stands out from most modern dress watches because of its rectangular case and dial. With a classically small case, it certainly bucks the recent trend of oversized watches. The simple, sophisticated design eschews any technological or glitzy touches in favor of an exceedingly simple arrangement. Yes, the main focus for Seiko here was […]
Seiko SNKK71 Seiko 5 Automatic Watch Review
With a lineage dating back to 1963, Sieko 5s have come to be renowned for their pristine workmanship at a very low cost. I honestly believe that Seiko could charge two to three times more than they do for these watches, and loads of people would still buy them. Instead, they choose to grace us […]
Seiko SSC233 Sport Solar Watch Review
Happy Halloween! It might not even be October yet, but I am feeling the Halloween vibe from Seiko’s SSC233 Sport Solar. With a distinctive orange-on-black style, this watch will be sure to shine every October 31st. All joking aside, this watch pulls off the orange and black design well, with some red accents added to […]
Seiko SNE039 Solar Watch Review
The SNE039 shares the bottom rung of Seiko’s vast Core collection with a couple of other models. It is also one of the simplest designs in that collection, but I don’t consider that a bad thing. Its clean design makes this is a sophisticated and elegant dress watch with more than a passing resemblance to […]
Seiko SSC139 Excelsior Gunmetal Watch Review
For some reason, as I study Seiko’s SSC139, I keep picturing the T-1000 android from Terminator (you know, the seemingly invincible one who turns into liquid metal to escape injury), probably because of the prominent organic silver swoops on the grey case and bracelet. This watch certainly has a distinctive look that will either appeal […]
Seiko SNE050 Solar Watch Review
If you want a dress watch but don’t want to mess with the hassle of an automatic movement or confusing complications, Seiko produces some fantastic and affordable solar quartz watches. You will be hard-pressed to find an easier watch to maintain. Case in point is the Seiko SNE050, which is all about understated elegance. Employing […]
Seiko SGG711 Titanium Watch Review
Seiko’s SGG711 is a thin, sleek, modern watch that is constructed with a modern metal. Using titanium instead of plain old stainless-steel is a bold choice. Titanium has some interesting properties, discussed further down, that really set this piece apart from the more common watch models out there. This is very much a watch for […]
