“It won’t be going anywhere soon” - literally discontinued the same year 🤣
Bought a brand new SKX009J1 today at a bargain price. I can finally sleep well forever knowing I am a proud owner of this icon.
Why do people mod the life out of these? I think they look nice just as they are
The Day/Date function is very important. When working off shore or in the woods camping, it is very easy to loose track of the day and the date. Trust me on this one.
After buying my skx, I don't wear my other watches anymore
I believe only the seiko monsters can challenge the skxes
Seiko are probably the only watch brand I can think of that somehow turn their faults in to "character". Seiko is cool and lots of people dont mind the misalignment or lack of hacking/hand winding on this watch. Like having a Land Rover Defender with no air con or electric windows.
Seiko SKX is a true tool watch...this watch can be used for all purposes .
Oh man, the times the SKX could be called affordable. Just payed 400,- for a used 013.
One more thing, Moding a SKX is a sin!
"This never ending sickness of ours that is watches...." 🤣🤣
Pure poetry of the English language my friend .
SKX is very attainable and relatable as are your videos. Great work.
Today arrived my SKX013, and I love it 🥰 , I added a withe Barton strap and is awesome.

Excellent writing that your voice delivers with an easy tone over slow cuts. Well done. Cheers from Oregon.
Love the review, IDGuy, love it, love it, love it. The SKX009 was my first automatic dive watch, and what truly drew me in was the affordability. Once I had my foot in the door, my addiction to watches and Seiko divers began. From my experience, the SKX’s relatively conservative appearance for a Seiko diver appearance makes it a far bigger crowd pleaser. I owned a Seiko Samurai, a Turtle, a Tuna briefly, and a Sumo. While those are phenomenal higher end watches that appeal more to enthusiasts who want to shell out more money and are willing to step out of the SKX comfort zone in lieu of a more individualistic design, they are no where near as multi-situational versatile with their relatively provocative appearances. The SKX’s lug-to-lug distance of 46mm also makes it suit a far greater breadth of wrist sizes. An excellent watch, as long as you are willing to deal with an outdated movement.
Well done. 👏 As a GS owner, these SKX007/SKX009 are getting more wrist time than all my other more expensive Seiko's. SKX's are eternally living legend Seiko watches 🙌
The SKX... the legendary affordable dive rated watch for the average man that is versatile and holds its own against the most expensive watches. RIP you will be missed.
