SEIKO SARB035 - Unbiased Review, Measurements, Lume

Ойын-сауық

Is the SARB035 is great! Or...is it?
Hey gang, I wanted to grow up and be just like everyone else so I've acquired a SARB035. It seems that you can't be a watch channel unless you've had this watch in at least 14 videos so that's what i'm going to do! Booyah! Come watch!
Future videos with this watch will include:
- Straps video
- Cinemas straps video
- SARB035 vs SARB033
- SARB035 vs Mothra (maybe)
- SARB035 vs Sharknado (really want to!)

We sometimes hear the question "what is the meaning of life?".
When I think about it, there is no meaning. There's a reason, but really? Meaning? There isn't one and there shouldn't be. Life...just exists. I suppose the question should be "what is the meaning of YOUR life?".
What is the meaning of mine? I don't really know. I guess, and quite literally, time will tell. Shit, that's deep, kinda. I suppose that right now, my meaning is to figure out a way(s) to be able to create things and explore wherever and whenever. For now, I love to create these videos!

    I only got into watches almost a year now, but damn! What a year it could have been if i saw you earlier! You are fluidly hilarious and refreshingly fun. I almost always watch videos at 2x speed, i drop it down to 1.5x if they talk fast but never have i ever encountered a person where i actually wanted to watch at normal speed. I didn't even know i could experience this feeling, I'm more mind-blown than LSD/DMT experiences. You are an excellent entertainer and reviewer, a difficult combination to come by. Well done sir.

    minitwatch, its funny but I posted the comment before finishing the video but in the back of my mind I was like, "Doesn't he own the Sarb033?" So now I know you will end up like this watch because it is the same thing. I bought this one over the black dial in 2015. It was just less common and more my style.

But after time of not looking at it, and not watching a lot of videos about it, I really love how it looks. After I "cleansed my palette" I really thought it is beautiful. Not sure what that means about this watch but just my opinion of what happened to me.

    Man stunning watch and as always great review...! As for the feeling I had the same one firstly when I've unpacked it, as I said to myself: "What's that small watch...?!" I own a lot of Seiko automatic divers and really love them and size definitely is bigger than this one. But followed you're advise, even if at the beginning I didn't really have a crush on this watch, this watch is having something that was pushing me to give it a try. Must admit I wasn't wrong at all, as after 5 days wearing it I simply love this watch, stunning, splendid one, a real beauty and even if I wasn't at all into small watches this one completely changed my opinion on them. For example, I've tried yesterday a SARY055 and man found it way too big even if it's only a 41 mm case...! This watch simply and definitely transformed my way of seeing small dress watches in a very good way must admit...! Was just wondering if to buy the SARB033, but I think the black dial will make it look smaller than the white-cream one...!

I'm always on the fence with the 035 - although I think it could come to life on a brown strap? Waiting for your strap video. BTW - do you still date SARY055? That's my no. 1 daily Seiko right now (on black strap). Alright man, take care.

    Had one loved it and took it one step up to the grand seiko. Negatives to me of the SARB i just dont like the chapter ring on them its ok but kinda cheapens the watch. Also the bracelet could be better but overall it is great. My example had no quality errors. Id buy the watch again in a second. The watch is very simple so it kind of takes a bit to adjust to the simpleness and be able to appreciate them. Size is excellent.

    I have this watch. I like it. I appreciate it but you're right. It would be the first watch in my collection that I would give away to a good friend (a not so good friend would get a Casio -- a cheap Casio). In my 20 watch collection this one is my eleventh or twelfth favourite which is where I think this watch is intended to be -- right in the middle. You lost the puppets?! You are a terrible parent. Do you remember The Lost Puppets? They were the most under appreciated 80s New Wave band.

I got into watches only recently and your videos inspired me very much. I am currently wearing the Skx013 and ordered a SARB065 which is currently on its way from Spain 😀

    Neuro It's not much different from the SKX007. Lug-to-lug they're pretty much the same size and they both fit perfectly on my 6.7 inch wrist. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference, but I sold the 007 because I felt like the 013 is more aesthetically pleasing and is slightly more comfortable to wear. Both watches are perfect for beginners like me and I don't think I will consider any other diver watch untill I find a job after my studies and can afford the likes of e.g. a Seamaster

    Perfect timing. I am looking at buying a kind of dressy sports watch. SARB017, SARB035, Hamilton Khaki of some sort, Orient Ranger. Any recommendations would be helpful. I am looking for something in this price range that is between my dress watch and my diver watch to wear with short sleeve shirts. I will put it on a strap so everyone in my family can wear it. I have a seiko and Orient watches but no Swiss.

    Hamilton Khaki wont work as a dress watch (my opinion), Sarb017 is fantastic as an in-between since it really is a watch that does it all. Dress, Dive, Trails, Everyday. I like the grey dial Ranger for dress, the White dial Ranger as an everyday watch. (the indices and day app on the White dial are cool but stand out, too bulky a design for dress)

    Thanks so much for the reply. I need a business casual watch which how I dress most of the time. I hear that some people have issues with the Hamilton not having a screw down crown and getting water inside. I have to be able to wash my hands and maybe jump in the shower with it. Also my 16 year old son will wear it on dates and to church and such so it has to be pretty tough. That is one thing about the Sarb017. It is the only one with a screw down crown. I love my Orient Ray II keeps great time and I just like the weight of it. I am wondering is the White Ranger would have the same feel. I just want a watch without a rotating outer bezel like my diver. Something like a Explorer but can't afford that. Got to have the date on it. I would be lost without that. I wish the SARB035 was not so shiny. I have a black faced Seiko SNGZ that I love so got that covered.

    Tough Call, youre torn between the Ranger and Sarb017?...Both the Sarb & Ranger will have weight.. The Ranger might have more weight since it has a bracelet. I like the white ranger the best in looks.. but I can't see it being used for dress. Maybe you should ask yourself if you want leather strap vs bracelet? I dont think they sell the SARB017 w/ a bracelet anymore, you'd have to buy (extra cost). So if you'd get sick of leather that's +1 for the Ranger. Both should be ok for washing hands, but You'd have to buy the Orient new if you plan on getting it wet. Without a screw down crown you can't trust its water resistance unless it's new. The Alpinist (sarb017) can be bought used and with the screen down crown should be fine for water. I never heard that about the Hamilton Khaki, I am sad to hear that. I've always liked the Hamilton Khaki, but as a work watch/field watch. Never somethin I'd wear to dinner or out with friends. The Sarb (or Grey dial Ranger in my opinion) are definitely watches you can wear to dinner or do anything in.. I guess you could push the white ranger to be a dress watch too if you have your heart set on it. Its markers are really fantastic the way they stand out above that white dial. just sharp..

    I must respectfully disagree with Neuro's statement that the Hamilton Khaki cannot work as a dress watch. I agree that the black dial Khaki is too complicated for a dress watch, but the one with the silver dial is much more subdued. You don't need a screw-down crown to wash your hands, even a 30m water resistance should do just fine. Please never shower with your watches; the combination of soap and heat degrades seals prematurely. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these watches. The Khaki and the Alpinist are the most like the Explorer, so if that's what you're looking for it would just be a choice between whether you want something more traditional or something more individual. That Orient looks beautiful (as most Orients are) and it's the only watch you mention that doesn't have a hacking or hand-winding movement. Overall, since you already have a conventional field watch (eliminating the need for a Khaki) and dress watch (eliminating the need for a SARB035), the Alpinist seems to be the best choice for you.

I'm getting my first Seiko in January and I can't decide between the SARB035 and the SRBP41 (Blue moon cocktailtime). I know there is a difference in movement and materials, but the cocktail times look so fucking good. I wish they made them in the 6R movement like the original (now discontinued SARB065), what a keeper!
