There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For little over 300 USD, you are getting the Seiko 4R35 movement, (not the 6R15 as they used in the JDM counterpart), which is decent, with about +6S/day on the one I got. This is right on the edge of COSC +6S/day for the standard of the Swiss makes. So I'll say the accuracy is not that great but good enough. In case you don't know, only 3% of the Swiss makes are certified by COSC anyways. The dial of the watch is very detailed, especially the beautiful sun ray pattern, each ray covers exactly one minute. And if you look closer to the dial, all the metal parts are finely polished. The dial is in silver/grey color, not as blue as showed in their official pictures. And I think this is one problem of most of those good old brand, that they cannot take a good picture of their watch what so ever. Under the sun, it has a very faint blue tint, and that is amazingly beautiful. The hands are craft in the attention to details as well, the second hand is slightly bent at the tip to compensate the shape of the dome glass. From the back, you can see the movement and the very carefully polishing pattern on the parts as well. The second hand is hackable, and you can also manual wind the watch instead of rely on your body movement to auto wind it, which added a little bit more fun to it.
Of course there are shortcomings of this watch. First of all, I'm not trying to compare this "Seiko" with "Grand Seiko" or "Credor", which are the two luxury brands under Seiko, since the price are not even on the same level. But overall, this might be the best mechanical watch you can get. The Hardlex crystal is little bit disappointing, but I understand Seiko is trying to segregate the lower end watch with their Grand Seiko. The hour and minute hands are slightly misaligned, but you won't really notice it unless you are doing a serious review and put the watch under microscope like me. And the OEM strap is as bad as their JDM counterparts. Corners have been cut in order to achieve the price point. So if you got the watch, unless you really like the plastic feeling blue stitch strap that is borderline offensive, get a real alligator or lizard strap and it will look great and fit most occasions.
Overall, the face is bright and easy to read. However, glare gets in the way sometimes. Here, I just angle my wrist away from the light source to put the face in shade and it does the trick.
The original wrist band I found a bit cheap and the clasp awkward. So, I replaced it with a black alligator skin leather band and the watch looks and feels much better. The jeweler confirmed he has heard many issues with the clasp-style watch band.
I need wind it a bit daily and keep an eye on the time, but for the price that's fine with me.
Overall, for me the watch punches above its weight class.
Case: Typical high quality Seiko case construction. Absolutely nothing to complain about here.
Strap: The strap is "unique," I'll give it that - I've never seen another strap even close to it. It has a glossy sheen and feels very stiff, almost like it's not leather at all. But straps are easy to swap out, so if it isn't your cup of tea then buy yourself a nice black leather strap online and call it a day.
Crystal: Seiko uses their trademark 'Hardlex" tempered mineral glass instead of sapphire, which I suppose is a step up from normal mineral glass, but still not a rival to real sapphire.
Dial: This is the real star of the watch, and where it makes back most of its stars. The dial is just gob-stoppingly freaking gorgeous, a true work of art that you don't really see imitated on many other watches. If you ever want a true 'conversation starter' watch, then this is it. But just be warned: the dial is beautiful but very dressy and very formal. I would not classify this as a 'casual wear' watch. So before you buy, just make sure that you will actually have reasons to wear this more than just a couple of times a month, otherwise it could easily end up sitting gathering dust, looking pretty in your watch box more than on your wrist!
=EDIT= February 2022: the last sentence of my previous review ended up being prophetic. I actually did stop wearing this watch for a long time (including to the office), because it's just too darn formal and dressy for many occasions. Suit and Tie events yes, casual daily wear NO.
