Had been wanting an SKX for some time and this is basically the same thing without the dive rating. I don't need the dive rating, and this went on a sale for Black Friday so I finally pulled the trigger.
This thing is nice. Fits well on the wrist. The band is easy to adjust. The weight is solid but not overbearing like some other watches I own. Been fairly accurate so far as well. Definitely going to be my new daily driver.
The lume on this thing is no joke as well. I went to bed and 8 hours later it was still readable. Also, pics seem to make the lume look blue for some reason. It's actually green.
UPDATE: I've had this for 5 months now and I still love it. I've bought a bunch of different bands to use with it, and unfortunately the spring system broke on one of the stock spring bars when I pressed it a bit hard trying to get it out. You just need a thicker spring bar as a replacement if you want to use the included band again (which I go back to often). I've been pretty consistently -15 seconds a day. It gains time if I leave it off at night, but I sleep with it on. Adjusting the time every few days isn't really a big deal for me and considering +/- 45 seconds is the spec for this movement I'm not mad. Definitely worth the purchase. No issues so far with scratching the PVD coating. Everything still looks as good as when I got it.

Stellar watch!
Absolutely love this watch. My first automatic and the price was right! Only thing I am highly disappointed in was the packaging was all ripped up and it didn’t come with any books or anything.

This thing is awesome - My second automatic watch and hopefully the last one I buy (this is one expensive hobby/taste)
Accuracy - Much better than my starter automatic, the Invicta pro diver. The SRPD65’s movement is rated around +/- 40 seconds a day but in my few weeks with the watch I’ve seen +/- 10 seconds or better a day. (See attached image)
Build quality - Right off the box I can tell the watch is built well. The only thing to note is a slight misalignment with the chapter ring as seen in the photo with the extreme angle. On the wrist, I do not notice it. I already have a small scuff on the band and it reveals the shiny metal underneath. If it gets too scratched up I will throw the watch on a nato strap anyways!
Glass - So this is a hardlex style crystal and it will probably scratch if it’s not worn carefully. This material is known to be more shatter resistant though. If you’re looking for a scratch resistant crystal you can have a watch smith replace it with a sapphire one down the line, since most parts are compatible with their famous SKX007 lineup.
LUME - Incredible. My other watches always had junk lume and to see this watch in the dark is amazing. The photo shows a blue tint but it is a nice dark lime green in person. Since green is the brightest color to the human eye, I had no problem reading the time all night and into the early morning say 3-5am.
Looking forward to seeing how this watch holds up over time. If it’s anything like Seiko’s past releases then this should be good for a long time. Yes it doesn’t have a 200 meter dive rating, but be honest with yourself. If you are going anywhere near 200m you’re probably wearing a dive computer. Personally I will use my other automatic as a water/hiking beater.
