Owner Review: Seiko Alpinist Green SARB017
The Seiko Alpinist Green SARB017 comes from a line of field watch which was first introduced in 1961. The Alpinist can be described as Seiko’s first real sports watch. It is from the sixth generation of the Alpinist line and was introduced in 2009. It is also one of Seiko’s longest running sub-brands. The Case…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX013 – Small diver with a big punch
The Seiko SKX013 is one of my favorite dive watches, at 38mm it is one of my favorite daily wear watches. One of my favorite aspects of the skx013 is the size, it really makes it the most wearable in the SKX line up especially for those of us with smaller wrists. The SKX013 is…

Owner Review: Seiko Monster SRP309
Today, the Monster is a well-known, beloved and, dare I say, iconic watch from the Seiko line-up. It’s arguably one of the best and most recognizable designs from the brand, along with the Samurai, in the past couple of decades or so. But this was not always the case. When the aptly named Seiko Monster…

Owner Review: Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1
I’m going to be honest with you. I wouldn’t buy myself a Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1 today. I bought this watch about 1.5 years ago, when I was just getting into watches. Back then, I didn’t know exactly what my tastes and preferences were going to be. I knew Seiko was respected for their affordable divers…

Owner Review: Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 – The 6th Generation
First released in 1959, some say 1961. The Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 is now in it’s sixth generation. Gaining a massive following over the years. The new and improved Alpinist comes in four colour choices. I will be reviewing the black one, with reference SPB117J1 or SBDC087. First impressions are really good as a Seiko Alpinist…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX007 – What’s left to say?
What can you say about the Seiko SKX007 that has already had so much written about it before? According to Jack Forster “It’s probably the single best value at any price point”. I don’t think you would find many people who would disagree with Jack’s view. It has also been a popular choice of watch…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Sports SRPD “5KX”
I am an engineer and I work in an office with a lot of engineers and project managers. It probably won’t be a big surprise that there are quite a few watch fans in my line of work. From the people that wear different fashion watches every day, to the guys with their one good…

Owner Review: Seiko Marinemaster 300 SBDX001
As you already know Seiko Divers all have a cool Nickname, like Sumo, Shogun, Samurai and so on… So why doesn’t the Seiko Marinemaster 300 have one? Does it deserve one, does it need one? For the sake of doing so we could call it something cool like “The Black Ninja”, but the Marinemaster is…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K
Some time ago I found myself wanting a smaller automatic sports watch at a reasonable price that would fill the gap between the more precious automatics and the full on G-SHOCK sports watches in my collection. Enter the Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K. Watches with a staggering history and heritage all of their own and a…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX011 – because I can’t afford a Doxa
As a kid, my Dad used to drive our little family to Italy and the South of France for holidays. Sometimes venture up through Andorra and across to Spain too! I have a vivid memory of seeing some guys getting ready to go out spear fishing, and they looked cool as hell! But one thing…
