    I just received this watch today after buying it brand new, in the box, on eBay for $220. Pictures don’t do this watch justice, definitely looks better in the metal. I’ve heard about Seiko lume being the best, and this watch almost blinds you! I didn’t care for the bracelet that came with it even before I bought it, so I’ve ordered both a better looking, better quality metal bracelet and a very different kind of NATO strap that goes well with this color. I watched most all of the UA-cam videos regarding this watch, and appeared to me that some of the secondhand didn’t line up with the indexes very well. (It’s hard to tell because they usually don’t hold the watch square with the camera for very long.) At least on the one I bought, the second hand lines up perfectly with the indices as I had hoped, because I would have sent it back if they were very much out of sync.The bezel feels good to me, though this is my first dive watch. I’m looking forward to swimming laps with it tomorrow (I swim for 1/2 hr 3 mornings a week.) I am happy to add this Seiko solar to my collection! 😃

    • @paynekiller75
      @paynekiller75 2 роки тому

      @@hanigharaibeh6002 It's not cheap nor necessarily "light" but it does leave a little to be desired. I own one of these and that's actually my ONLY complaint, the bracelet. Buy I simply don't like the aesthetics of the polished steel on it, and prefer brushed stainless steel.
      Fortunately the bracelets are super easy to swap and with the 20mm lugs there's tons of aftermarket options available!
      You can often find these for about $220 online (just watch for counterfeits). If bought from a reputable retailer I'd HIGHLY recommend it 👍👍

    I got mine about two weeks ago. Great watch with the exception of the stock bracelet - I'm not find of the shiny center section. I finally broke down and used a scotch brute pad to go to work on the bracelet. It actually did a great job of making the center section match the brushed look of the rest of the bracelet.

    I am currently interested in purchasing one of these, second hand, locally, here in Honolulu. One concern is the inside diameter of the bracelet. My wrist on the slimmer side.
    Is the bracelet able to be modified for a slimmer wrist size?
    Also, what is the list price as new?
    The watch advertised here, is $300 firm.
    Thank you!

      Depends on your preferences.

      I have 4 automatic and 2 quartz, I like wearing automatic, but sometimes when I see the ticking on quartz watch, it calms my heart.
      I have this solar and it is a beautiful watch under the sun, and when you combine it with navy blue alpha shark nato strap from blueshark strap,,it looks gorgeus !!

    do this model comes in automatic too as i don't likes solar, kinetic or spring drive. I'm interested in buying new monster with cyclop 3 generation. I live in Mumbai India. from where do I buy the monster as I have searched every Seiko shop here. in India usually they have more of dress watch collection compare to diver. there are 2 prospex models officially available here n that too chronograph which I don't prefer. it will be great if you can help with the official seller for monster 3 generation. very recently I got my new Seiko 5. will post you the details soon for the same.

  • @SvetislavPaunovic
    @SvetislavPaunovic 4 роки тому +1

    Tumb up for a very good review and presentation of those most important things that a potential buyers are interested in. In Europe, I can't find it below 300€ (around 330$) while importing from the States or elsewhere where the prices are lower, would entail vat and taxes, making it pointless to import.
    In any case, great to see it on your wrist too, but I have the impression that, although it is 44mm in diameter, the watch looks small on your hand. What is your wrist size? I'm thinking of buying one for me and my 7 inch wrist should be fine for 44mm I think. Also, I can't help myself asking, if you don't mind, what is that thing of patriotic watch that you've mentioned few times? Colours, red and blue or PADI reference? If colours, then its odd, since oh so many flags in the world proudly have these three too. Russia for example, UK, France to name the few. I love those colours on this watch though, I thing that it contributes to its overal apealing look and aesthetic.
    Thanks again and keep up the good work. Cheers

  • @jacknjill3000
    @jacknjill3000 2 роки тому

    Is this prospex model smaller than the prospex Monster? I want a Seiko diver watch (200mm) but l looked at the Monster on UA-cam and think it’s too big for my small wrist.

    • @jacknjill3000
      @jacknjill3000 2 роки тому

      Also, is this (SNE 435) the same model as the (SNE 549)? Maybe after this release for the inauguration Seiko wanted to keep selling and changed the model number?

      Step 1: set time to 6:30
      Step 2: set date to ONE DAY BEFORE current date.
      Step 3:start adjusting the time clockwise passing 12(now you entered current date)
      Step 4: adjust time as needed AM or PM (for pm go passed 12 once more)

      Out of four macys that are within 60 miles of me, only one had a competent enough sales man to properly size and center a seiko bracelet. Heck, the last time i got a watch bracelet done at macys a new guy with NO experience messed up my band…….macys in general sucks at being an actual jeweler but the are an authorized dealer so yeah.

    I have the padi turtle..the kinetic gmt tuna and had preordered the padi marine master..that one is a limited edition..
    I like the 2 solar models they have..the one in this review and the limited edition titanium version. but can't see any true difference other than one being stainless and the other being titanium. .any input on that??
    also seiko is coming out with a padi sumo and tuna..I believe they are on preordered status and both are gonna be limited editions I believe.
    as you can tell I got badly bitten by the padi bug..lol

    • @maverickwatchreviews
      @maverickwatchreviews  8 років тому

      Thank you! I would love to review your PADI Marinemaster when you get it in...think about it. Yeah there are two solar versions of this watch and they're pretty much the same other than one being ss and the other titanium. I'm not a huge titanium fan other than the Citizen Satellite Wave watches so it's not worth the premium to me. And I've seen the PADI Sumo and Tuna and will try and get my hands on those as well as the new "Blue Lagoon" Turtle and Samurai coming out in Feb..both of those are limited editions as well. I have definitely been bitten by the PADI bug as well...lol.

    • @fldiverjc4496
      @fldiverjc4496 8 років тому

      MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS ..they are such beautiful watches..the blue dial faces just jump out so much..especially the paid turtle.
      I was under impression that the paid sumo as well as the tuna were not yet available and just for preorder.. I really like both..but the pricing is getting high..seen the padi sumo going for Lil over $850.00.. assume tuna slightly higher..and that would bring it to neighborhood of padi marine master..
      I can't wait to see those limited editions you mentioned.
      seiko is killing it.

      as far ad what you said about titanium. have you handled or worn the seiko shogun. still one of the most comfortable watches I had ever owned..I kick myself in arse for flipping it along with a gen 1 monster to buy the Mrs a stainless and gold tag huer aquaracer she wanted..kinda bribing my way out of the dog house..lol

      Because they've already done exactly that! There already exist many dozens upon dozens of auto Seiko dive watches that are actual carbon copies of this one. Seriously, Google "Seiko Dive Watch" and you'll see there's hundreds going back decades now.
      But on the flip side this is one of a few Seiko Solar PADI's, which means far less selection for those of us who know how much better these actually are - especially for day to day use/non watch-snobbery 😉

      You are correct about the sweeping second hand and I think they need to rename an automatic second hand that ticks 6-10 times per second to a "ticking second hand" and reserve the word "sweeping" to only Spring Drives & Accutrons that truly have a second hand that fluidly moves across the dial with no perceptible "ticks" at all.

    Thank you for not making your review of this watch into a review of the political world. My patience has been worn thin by the nonsense that is happening in DC.
