summer watch !

already tried this watch in AD at my place. at first I thought this model would have some issues like before, after I checked it up,was a little surprised, because the use of this watch is very comfortable, the bezel is in the right place, and the size is a bit thin, compare to my spb143. the finishing looks neat & luxurious. I think Seiko has started to realize and fear that Citizen will take over the hearts of JDM watch fans 😂😂😂

Cool to see a hands-on, since the announcement. I prefer the symmetry of a no date, but I realize that I check my watch daily for the day of the month. Best of both worlds. If I got a exclusively no-date, I feel like I'd eventually regret if given the option.

I agree with you! The blue one is my favorite. Can’t wait to see them in person. I think that matching the date wheel color to the dial plays a big part in making the date placement work. I don’t really mind the date at 4:30 in these new releases but if the date wheels were all white it would bug me for sure haha

​@@trishhunt3137it's not, my man. I tried this watch early at AD at my place. They upgraded their bracelet. It feels more comfortable than the old version.

I do own a SPB143, totally agree it's a great watch I just spent the last two weeks with it on my wrist as my one and only while roadtriping, it's my holiday or under the radar watch. I bought it for times I don't want to wear a luxury item, but guess what sometimes I do pick it up because I do enjoy wearing it not because I have to. My only advice is to wear it on a rubber cause Seiko Natos are good looking but too thick and to me the bracelet is not very confortable. The new dimensions seem to be a good improvement and I do like the new position for the date.

Beautiful watch. I like the improvements here. The only thing I don't care for is the movement. Seiko has an amazing 6L and 8L movements. I have owned an 8L, the monoblock marine master, and it was a gem, one of my favorite watches I took everywhere with me and kept excellent time. Previously, I had a 6R15 and was much less impressed with the performance there--back then that was for 800 dollars, the so-called Pepsi bezel on the mm200 back in 2018. I'm reluctant to try a 6R again, this time at 1300.

Thx for watching. Glad you enjoyed it and I hope it was useful

Fantastic review. As an owner of the SPB143, this new iteration is exactly what I wanted. I have two gripes with my SPB143. First, there's the long clasp and the wonky and fairly useless dive extension. I wish they got rid of it completely, but at least the clasp is shorter. Also, the fact that the case is ever so slightly smaller is welcome. Finally, I don't like the grey sunburst dial on the SPB143. I know it looks great in some shots, but in direct sunlight seems washed out and the legibility isn't great. Having owned black and blue dial divers, I can tell you that for me black is the way to go. I always end up wearing a black dial watch more since it's so versatile and I love the monochrome, understated look. So I will be upgrading to the SPB451 and probably sell my SPB143. I think that one is the perfect daily + travel watch and you are right about the diashield coating. My SPB143 looks absolutely flawless after 3 years of daily wear and I never tried to baby this watch. It's actually the reason why I'll still go with a Seiko instead of other brand even though there are things I don't like about Seiko (QC issues, movement accuracy and of course the price bump).

I love the design of this watch. It’s a classic. The one thing that I don’t understand is why a 1400 Euro watch still uses a movement that operates at 21,600 beats. There are so many other brands that offer a movement operating at 28,800 beats for a far lower price. I understand that you can increase the power reserve by decreasing the beats per hour but it just doesn’t feel right. Sometimes I feel that these “prospex” watches aren’t really that pro. Other micro brands offer similar value at almost half the cost.
