    In the category of field watches, its all too common to see robust and tool watch finished design. This is intentional since many outdoor activities are demanding and some are downright hazardous to your watch. This is what sets the Seiko Alpinist apart from the rest of the field, all puns intended. Here’s all the reasons why your collection should have one.

    Damn it Jim! I’m a watch not a compass.

    This was outstanding. I had no idea the Alpinist had such rich history. Great job, Jayson.

    I have never owned nor handled an Alpinist. Looks like I need to fix that. Amazing video by the way. I could learn a lot from you.

    Most watches that have cyclops…look like a cyclops, this watch has a dewdrop. I’ve actually had people ask me if I had a drop of rain on my watch! it’s elegant. It’s perfect and I love it.

    I missed out on getting one before the price has increased, so now if I want one, I'll have to pay a pretty penny. Seiko has a lot of great options

    • @DesignAtelier
      @DesignAtelier  7 місяців тому +1

      Seiko did us dirty with this one. The moment they saw that we are starting to appreciate the alpinist, they jacked the price.

  • @taotzu1339
    @taotzu1339 3 місяці тому

    Kicking myself for not getting it when it was $350 on Amazon several years back. $700 is now too steep a price increase.

    I owned one of the SARB017s. Nice watch, lousy standard strap. I put a Strapcode bracelet on it, and wore it a bit. But I never did bond with it, and ultimately sold it for more than I paid. Nice watch, but not for me. Great video as always my friend.

    • @DesignAtelier
      @DesignAtelier  3 роки тому +1

      i think its a given at this point that seiko straps and bracelets are just low quality. nice that you sold it for profit. I may need to get one before its too late.

      Seiko dials are always gold! Even when they’re not gold. If you know what I mean.

    I’m trying to think of something pithy to say without getting into trouble.......Nope can’t do it😊.
    Seriously, good overall review of a neat watch. I always liked it but not enough to buy it. Not sure why? Thanks again Jayson!

    • @DesignAtelier
      @DesignAtelier  3 роки тому +2

      To me it's really about having a solid watch that can be for outdoor wear without being too toolish looking. And im always a sucker for inner bezels.

      well i dont know how big your wrist is but yes 0.5mm is sometimes pushing it too far.
