Owner review: Seiko PADI Mini Turtle SRPC41

The Seiko PADI Mini Turtle SRPC41 is an affordable and wearable diver that punches above its weight class in a few surprising ways. I never planned on buying a Seiko, but wanted something I could wear to the water park, playing tennis, or other activities that I know I could wear a more expensive sports…

Owner review: Seiko Prospex SRPE93K

My Last watch buy for 2022 the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K or the Turtle as it is affectionally referred to , is big, clumsy and a little ugly like the author. I have had my eye on a few limited editions over the years but when one of my Brothers came down with his vintage 6309…

Owner review: Seiko SMW004A Metronome

Watch complications vary from traditional to contemporary, whimsical to necessary, and watch brands are always combining complications to display horological prowess and open up new market trends.

Owner review: Seiko SBBN025

There are few iconic moments that can match the sheer reach of James Earl Jones’ epic line “No. . . I am your Father” and the character he’s voicing from the immense Star Wars saga Darth Vader is surely one of the most recognisable baddies the world has ever seen. The Seiko SBBN025 Darth Tuna…

Owner review: Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB241

The Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB241, might elicit some groans from the watch world – yet another reproduction based on the golden age of the 50’s and 60’s, yet another Seiko, yet another watch for outdoor adventures that won’t actually take place. Valid points, but I think Seiko did a pretty good job with this $750…

Owner review: Seiko Prospex Mini Tuna SUT403P1

The Seiko Prospex Mini Tuna SUT403P1 is part of the iconic and recognised watch case designs that feature the ‘tuna-can’ style. Introduced in 1975 to mainly combat the issue of helium gas penetrating the case, it has symbolised their dive watches ever since and has a cult following and a cult dislike. Whichever side of…

Owner review: Seiko GMT SSK001

I had to go on an overseas work trip so gave myself an excuse to buy a GMT watch. As I don’t think I’ll be getting my Rolex Pepsi anytime soon, I decided to have a look at the relatively new Seiko 5 GMTs. I really wanted to try on the Seiko GMT SSK001 (black…

Owner review: Seiko Prospex SPB213

The Seiko Prospex SPB213 is the 5th watch I bought when I started getting sucked into the rabbit hole of horology. Not all of us have deep pockets to buy everything we take interest in. So, as to not overspend, I created this rule: For watches that I buy, I will be climbing price points…
