Ive got a real hankering for a blue watch. Tossing up between this and a blue omega 300m. The 300m seems a little gimicky, but then so does the textured dial of the shibin, thoughts?
What does the rest of your collection look like? both are fantastic, but one could make sense over the other if you more sports/dressy watches. Also, the omega is a larger watch compared to this Grand Seiko, so that is also something to consider.
Im considering this as my everyday watch, field watch, tool watch, sportswatch. i dont want to take it of my wrist so “I dont scratch it”… Do you think it qualifies as one? Perhaps compared to an aqua terra 150 or a even a rolex explorer.
Anything over 140-150 grams is way too much for a dressy every day watch. I am a big guy and I find heavy watches uncomfortable for a full day use, if you have activity especially in the summer. If you just sit at your desk all day doing nothing then it could be ok.
Very well made review with details.
Thank you!
Great review! ❤
Thanks for watching!
It does look like the ocean now that you mention it
I'm glad someone agrees! I can't help but see it.

The Aqua Terra and explorer work better as everyday watches. This one lacks lume, but it could still be worn as a daily.
Beautiful

21mm lug width is unnecessary.
Will you give me a Seiko?
