I recently bought the SRP777, and I absolutely love it. It’s one of those watches that every time you check to see what time it is, you tell yourself damn that’s a cool Watch. I started with seiko when my Watch obsession started about 15 years ago. I’m now the owner of a Rolex Submariner, an omega Seamaster professional ceramic, a brietling colt, tag heuer aquaracer and longines legend diver. you may argue that Rolex or Omega are better watches due to the prestige and high prices, however, when it comes to the “cool” factor, and history, the SRP777 is right up there wit Omega and Rolex. This is a legendary Watch with great history. If you’re thinking about buying one don’t hesitate, this is a great Watch that will put a smile on your face every time you wear it. I’ve recently read the Seiko is releasing a “mini turtle”, Whois is 42mm. I’m exited for those to come out so I can pick up another one.
I bought my SRP777 for my Eurotrip and have been traveling with it since July 1st. I cannot overstate how happy I am with this watch. The comfort, ruggedness, legibility and aesthetics are all perfect. There hasn't been a single lighting situation where I could not read the dial. And the Day-Date has been indispensable, it is so easy to forget what day it is when you're drinking every night... Great review James! Your Instagram pics were what tipped me over the edge to get it!
Just bought this watch for $350, I'm in love with it. One of the best watch purchases I've made.
My personal favorite watch reviewer on The Tube.
Another nice job James. Keep em coming.
He does a fantastic job but his overuse of the word "kinda" is unnecessary and annoying.
Thank you for the nice video - you guys are really doing a marvellous job. Everytime I'm interrested in a certain watch I somehow bump into one of your videos or online reviews and they always bring out the main points in a very concise way. Besides that the videos (voice and pictures) are well made and pleasent to watch and listen (no unnecessary information or self promotion). By the way I just ordered an SRP777 and can't wait to have it on my wrist ...
It looks just like my Seiko 6306-7001 watch i got back in 1977 when in the Navy. I paid a 124.99 for it at the ships store. My old Seiko is banged up, finish missing on parts of the bezel, and one scratch on the crystal. It still keeps great time and I have never had it serviced. I still love the Seiko that i have owned for 44 years.
Welcome. Are you seriously saying that you have owned your Seiko watch for 44 years and it has never been serviced?

Bought my one yesterday, Great piece for my Collection! Can't wait the delivery:) Greets from Germany
in my early days-1950-1970, rolexes were kind of hard use utility watches without the rolls royce price. i think the seiko reissue of the turtle fills my utility niche perfectly without breaking the bank! thanks!
2019. And I am getting this. Superb Review and helped me make decision.
thank you James, your reviews are by far my favorites
This is the best Seiko Turtle review on UA-cam. Informative and entertaining. This review made me buy one.
Great review. I got mine recently and love it. Amazing value for the money. No question, much nicer than the SKX. I love the weight, the rubber strap, the details like buckle, keeper, case back and of course that Seiko lume. Hard to take it off the wrist.
I agree that the Srp777 is a much better watch than the SKX, I have both and the SRP is getting majority wrist time over all my other watches. Have Omega Speedy Pro and Tudor Pelagos, both are great watches but for me, something about the Seiko SRP just garners that wrist time. Love my turtle.
Hey friend, I have a question... How is the screw down crown on your SRP777? Is it strong?
Cheers
I've had the SKX007 for a while and wear it quite often (a lot more than either my blue Pelagos or Rolex SD4K). Recently just got the SRP779J1 (Pepsi) and totally agree with you, the Turtle fits my wrist better not to mention that it also has the better MVT., so far it's my go to sort of every day reliable Honda Civic :)
@omnipotentum I understood nothing of what you said. You don't have a good grasp of the English language.
dud....relax!
Great watch but with more than 44mm it is a bit too big!! The mini turtle is even better I think, and I don’t like so much a daydate on a diver. The new spb 317 is like a dream...
Love the size, love the shape, Seiko engineered, the movement is bullet-proof ..... I want one!
SEIKO FOR LIFE
I just had a Pepsi version arrive and I’m thrilled with it. No alignment issues and an absolute value.
I have plenty of divers, but this cost me sub $300. I do like the rubber strap too.
James, just love your reviews. So clear and insightful and as a fellow diver enthusiast you are my go to review person. Great watch. I will be getting one. Keep your reviews coming you are by far the best watch reviewer on the net.
Thanks so much for the support, Im glad you like the reviews :)
Just bought my first seiko. Love this watch and gonna wear mine on a nato too. Sub is my perfect everyday but wouldn’t take it diving cuz Rolex loom blows. My Srp773 will be Perfect compliment for all the activities where I’d be worried about breaking an expensive watch. I’ve always admired seiko but non of the designs thrilled me until I saw this. Thanks for the review!!
I bought one today and fortunate to have the J version. Now I am a proud owner of the SRP777J1. Keeping it forever!
definitely thinking about geting this. I usually wear chronographs but the clear crisp simplicity of the face is really drawing me in.
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed the review, pls keep up the good work. Cheers
I’ve had this 777 for 3 years now. Runs like a champ! Mine is running around -25 a day which is acceptable. I’m very happy with this watch.
Excellent review. Good camera work and lighting. Good wrist shots in different straps. Well spoken. Much appreciated.
Great review. I watched this video 4x before buying the 777. I was set on getting the Coke version, but this vid did it for me. I can't think of any other watch at this price range that comes close.
I gave the 773. It's the blue version. It's my favorite watch in my collection
Just got mine today, so far it has not disappointed, Still have my 30 year old 7h26 though I did pass it down to my son. Great review
I have some more expensive watches than my turtle but its performance and toughness just brings me back to it more than the others. I believe if you get one of these you will not be disappointed.
Thanks James! You’ve convinced me to purchase the Seiko Turtle. Beautiful watch and well thought out video! New subscriber
The 777 just looks amazing. Just ordered a 779. I'll wear it for a while and keep a black insert handy for when the pepsi honeymoon ends.
this are the videos why I have subscribed this Channel. good job James
I bought one used (1 service) from my friend for $180 and it came with an additional CRAFTER BLUE rubber strap. I put mine on Uncle Seiko razorwire bracelet for $60 on black Friday. SRP777 is such an incredible value way more so than the discontinued and price gouged (in comparison) SKX series. I bought a more modern Seiko "5KX" instead to compensate.
The thing that amazes me is how the case design makes the larger watch more stable on my rather bony 7 inch wrist. With the SKX and indeed many other designs the watch slips round to face slightly away from me, no matter how tight the strap. With the turtle it simply sits, very comfortably on the top of my wrist. Clever stuff from Seiko ....
Nice editing - I like the transition to the Nato strap. Very slick!
Great review, mirrors my thoughts on it as well, it’s a great everyday wear watch. Complete tank and timeless style.
Great review! The SRP777 is one of my favorite watches.
What a handsome watch, got to buy it now.
Just bought this! Our local Seiko store was having a sale (35% off), so I simply couldn't resist. Your review is right on the money!
Took my watch back and got a new one....been running perfect 👌.
the best review ever ! I am going to buy this watch cause of you ! I hope I will like it ! cause I am almost broke !
I have the 773. It's the blue version. It's my favorite watch in my collection
The blue Turtle is a real stunner!
I have the blue 773 & love it as well....
@@voiceofexperience Yes it is!
Just bought one. I love it. Great review.
vosedon 7u
Solid review. Great work keep it up!
Bought it,hated it,got it on a Bond nato,LOVE IT! My SKX has been consigned to the display case and i have a feelng it`s gonna be there for a long time. Probably till the Turtle needs a service....
I will be buying one soon , i own the skx007 i love it , great video thanks for the review .
Love the design of the watch. Looking forward to one, ruggedness and reliability is also a key factor for my purchase.
I am from Romania . Thanks for the presentation. I stopped this watch too. After your presentation, I buy it for sure. It's a stylish watch for an active man!
I like the way you think fast and speak fast. That's the way to make a video not dull and boring such as Urban Gentry. Thumbs up.
Great job on this review!! I agree wholeheartedly!!
How's it going , thank you for the info.on the Seiko making the decision easier as a diver been looking at direction points back to Seiko just sub.to your channel!!! Thanks keep the uploads coming!! Happy diving!!!
Love this model (the "Triple 7"), being a big fan of its predecessors.
Great Video informative and well spoken. Question... does this model come in a GMT Version? Thanks
Just ordered this one and ordered a black nato strap for it ! Cant wait !
Iv loved the 6309 since the 80,s. The 777 is really awesome! Had to get one.
Another great video James!
thx 4 the review. i purchased last week and have worn it for a couple days at work. absolutly love it but unfortunatly the rubber strap slides out of the metal keeper a couple times a day at work. so i ordered a orig. bond nato for it. hopefully itll wear better. maybe i should get a strapcode oyster for it too.
i love my srp777j. mine keeps amazing time. Great review
Great review, James!
Great review. This watch is absolutely my favorite in the collection for all the reasons stated. Out of curiosity who’s nato strap is that? I like the brushed and faceted hardware.
This is awesome, great review.
Just got my srp777 last week...even sporting a grey nato from blushark.
Damn i love this watch. Just wish it was 2 mm smaller and i would get a 775 in this second. Good review
If only we knew how high the SKX would go. Just picked up this gem for 305Euro new. It's now the 'cheaper alternative' to the SKX, but still I like it a lot. Great package.
Great review, that Bezel on the SKX looks tops and that grey nato really compliments the watch. My wrist is just under 7 inches so the SRP maybe a bit too big but I'm going to try it on.
Faisal Rahman How did it look?
Took me a year, but I finally found a black dial Seiko Turtle (SRP777) finally with good dial/chapter ring alignment. Seiko quality control is crap on Turtles these days.
One thing no review has mentioned is how much better quality the caseback feels on these new models. I noticed my new Turtle (SRP777) has the same caseback as my Seiko SBDC051.
The more I wear mine, the more I love it. I got mine $35 more than an SKX, it was on sale and got an extra 25%ish from Creation Watches.
great review buddy , Sub'd , i just bough the Citizen Nighthawk bj7000-52e , awaiting delivery from america to UK , i need this seiko now beautiful
my favorite reviewer
Got me a new turtle two weeks ago and totally love it. I ordered a double domed sapphire crystal. Not necessary but I hope it’ll be worth the effort. 🕐⚙️🍸
Beautiful watch👍👍Thx you for your review!
This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen of anything on UA-cam. Snappy, to the point, no repetitive points, engaging, interesting.
I plan to by this beautiful watch as a birthday present for myself. Great review. One suggestion though - please do not shake and swing watch while reviewing... it made me a bit dizzy. Still shots were perfect.
Finally James! Been waiting for this bad boy.
I lucked out at my jcpennys. They are phasing out Seiko and had one watch left in the clearance section. It was the 775. I had know idea what a great watch it was until after I purchaed
You are very good 👍🏻, I'm thinking about getting one 🤔
This is a great watch, Have been wanting to buy it but unsure about the size. I love my skx and this looks like a better version.
The 777 is the classic Turtle. A must have in any collection.
Very good review. Thank you!
Excellent review.
one of the best dive watches love this watch
Great review. Yes the best sub $500 diver today.
Excellent review very helpful... this is what I'm facing: I own a SKX 007 which I like a lot and I am looking at getting either the black sumo or this 777 turtle. My issue with the turtle is that it may look to similar to the SKX whereas the sumo is a definite step up. I also have a 7inch wrist and feel that the turtle may wear better . Tough decision any guidance?
Excellent review. I've always worn SKX-007s, but I'm going to get a turtle case Seiko. Everything's perfect about Seiko divers but the case back. They can take some lessons from the Russians and their Vostok Amphibia case back design......absolutely no torsion or wear on the gasket when the case back is removed or tightened down.
I also dive with dive watches as a backup bottom timer, ascent reference, and safety stop timer. I absolutely love this review from a diver's perspective. Thanks for the upload! I just purchased my 777.
Where can you get an aftermarket strap like the one this comes with?
Nice review James. How about the 4R36 accuracy? Thanks.
Nice review !
What about the accuracy ? Because i've heard that the SKX are not best when it comes to mesure the time; they lose or gain to many second in my opinion (if what i know is right).
Seiko Turtle FTW! I love my new SRPA21.
Great review!
Where can I buy the newer silicone strap? I bought the Padi and it came with the bracelet so I took it off and ordered the older rubber strap..seems like the newer version is way more comfortable and felixble.
Very popular with Special forces even though it’s more expensive than G shock and Timex idiglo.
Very nice! Excellent price point

I've always wore G-Shocks like two rangemans and a few others, but I wanted a Seiko for a long time. I first picked up the SNN231P2 on the black leather strap. Then I picked up the Seiko SSC017P1 with blue accents and I really like the Seiko line. I'm looking at getting the Seiko automatic's. I do own the Orient MAKO XL in the orange dial which I wear a lot. Now I want to get this same Seiko in my collection. What's the cheapest you have seen it at? Please get back to me when you get this or when you can. Great job on this video. Thank You.
Thank You.
Great review cheers
Mine just delivered. $250 all in. Loving it as I await reconditioning on my Rolex Explorer II black face. Great review. What brand NATO strap is that?
Bragging about your Rolex in a Seiko review is just tasteless. Who gives a crap if you own a Rolex. And no I'm not jealous. I'd buy 20 Seiko's before I'd buy one of those status symbols.
Well doesn't it use a lager diameter bezel insert than the size of the SKX007's size?
Sold. Thanks.
Subtle reference to The Grey NATO with that SKX strap :)
I too bought this gem of a watch and i love it.the lume is awesome and its very comfortable.cant even tell im wearing it.can anyone tell me where i can get bracelets to change out on the srp777 for different looks?
PLEASE ANSWER: WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE NATO STRAP (just saying many would like to know)
Great review. Thanks for putting it up. Could I ask did you upgrade the bezel yourself or hand it in to a shop to get done?
I did it myself, there are guides to removing the bezel. If you're not comfortable with the task should take a watch maker about 5 mins to make the swap
