I'm not! 😂 I take my old skx013 on every dive, and I dive for a living. But if I was buying now I would hardly be stuck for choices from Seiko, Citizen, or Orient to name just 3 at this approximate price point. I agree wholeheartedly with you that this relaunch is giving the majority of buyers what they want. That said, I have always felt that part of the legend with the skx, which added to its appeal for whoever was buying it, was that it was a real dive watch that could hang with the big boys. It had a seriousness that belied its accessibility. It was a bona fide tool watch. These new ones lose something with that, but perhaps they make it up in other ways.

Real talk! The comment I was looking for

Part of the allure when I bought my first SKX was that it was a professional rated diver. Even though it never saw the water it's just nice to have that pop of red that says "Diver's 200M", and knowing that it's built to true professional standards. It kills the magic a little bit for me and I'm curious how that'll affect their sales on this new line.

These are Seiko 5's broken up into niche segments. A dive watch is a dive watch. They have taken the iconic look of the SKX and use it for the Seiko 5 level now. These clearly aren't divers as Seiko 5's have never been. The iconic look lives on instead of being killed off completely, and I for one appreciate that.

Roger Dottin “diver watches” have been a style of watch for many years now. A lot of manufacturers like Casio make diver style watches that are only certifed to 100m or less. It’s like being pissed that a pilot watch doesn’t have an altimeter. It’s become a style of watch, not a lot of people actually use specific type of watches for specific jobs. Divers don’t wear watches, they wear diving computers. Pilots don’t wear pilot watches, they have their instrument panel.

It's a nice move but it makes me want the SKX even more now. I might have to bite the bullet. To have an affordable watch with the ISO stamp IS AWESOME. If there is a hidden trend these days, it would be to have a "style" like design, but not the functional side of things. Mmm, back to deciding between a K or J SKX :) I would of liked to see a version without a date window. I feel like Seiko constantly tries to impress with more but I'd like something that can make a statement with less... at least as an option :)

You have to say this is smart business by Seiko- why let other builders/ modders take your potential business? I'm not distraught that it's not a 'true diver' now, and after seeing the range I would love to own so many of these, so perhaps the marketing department does know what it's doing! Although I am a bit of a tart so the case colour and dial variations appeal. Look forward to some of your reviews- if possible I'd love a closer look at the textured dial models, and the dark grey/ black cases. Oh, and please clear up whether the 'proper skx' replacement model has a navy dial or black! Many thanks, take care.

Lets be honest. I have many many dives to my name. And the statement “professional divewatch” is one I want to comment on. Not even once in all my dives, did I use a “divewatch” as being sold by all the famous watchbrands. Basically, the main feature you need in a divewatch is a depthsensor (i.e. pressure sensor). And not one of the famous watchbrands has a depthsensor. My main divewatch is a Suunto Vytec. More a divecomputer than a divewatch. My mechanical divewatches in my watch collection I would NEVER EVER use for a dive. Especially not for diving in salt water.

Maybe in 10 or 20 yrs we'll get Spring Drive for us common folks. Ha Ha Still pretty cool. I have been seeing a lot more turtles & tunas. Glad to see more people jumping on board.

Great video as always TGV. Can't wait for an SKX that I can wind. Goodbye Seiko shuffle. 👍

The drilled lugs, hacking and manual wind of the upgraded movement, added to the new colours and its a winner. I wanted am all green diver style for a while and the 5 fitted the bill perfectly. I've owned mine now for 1 month, and it's hardly left my wrist. I even wore it to work erecting a built in robe one day. I really do love it, and love the comfort of the SKX style casing. Even though, it's heavy and a decent size, although wears smaller, it is very comfortable and I like the bracelet. It's keeping great time, with no noticeable loss or gains. I'm very happy 😁

The esthetics are spot on. However, I still think they should have included a threaded crown and bump up the water resistance. On the other hand, it would be a perfect every day desk diver. Hopefully it will bring a fresh batch of enthusiasts into the hobby. Regards, Koen

You see this is what made me fall in love with watches. The Hugo banter the watches for the simple man. I laughed so hard at the Hugo voice. I love that dinosaur.

All they had to do was upgrade the movement to a 4R36 and KEEP the ISO Diver's certification. Oh wait - they already did that with the Samurai & Turtle. But not everyone like the Turtle or the 3 O'clock crown on the Samurai. I guess if you're looking for a 200m dive watch with a 4 o'clock crown that's not in a turtle case, look anywhere other than Seiko. 3rd-party microbrands are going to take the money Seiko just left on the table with SKX-style cases w/4 o'clock crowns and NH36 movements. For everyone else, there's the Casio Duro. ;-)

Yes, this is officially a Seiko 5 with an SRPD ref code now, not SKX. But, I think you'd be foolish to think this wasn't where the former SKX is now residing moving forward. As such, for the SKX line, I still think this is 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Not going to get into the superficial cosmetic options. Yes, you finally get a 4R36 movement. But, you lose 200m WR and consequently the ISO certified rating, no screwdown crown and I believe the lume pip is also removed as most, if not all, Seiko 5's have neither of these lost features. Some say the SKX was always part of the Seiko 5. IDK, don't really care about that... nearly all Seiko 5 specs are unlike the SKX's which were really closer to Prospex watches, imho. I know these will sell either way and almost nobody uses these for any serious diving purposes. But, that is beside my point. What once was a legitimate tool watch for divers has now been downgraded mostly spec-wise. It's ashamed since the SKX's lineage can really trace its way back through many iterations and the famous 6105. I mean that's a long fairly well-known line of watches which many would consider serious and reliable dive watches for decades. Now, it is not. I mean look at all the advert pics and none of them are remotely in or near a body of water, nor share any sort of dive heritage, where the former SKX should naturally belong within. And, in typical Seiko fashion, they either give you something you wanted for a while (such as hacking & hand-winding movement + new colors) and take things away and charge you more for it. Or, they might give you everything you probably wanted (the 62mas and 6105 reissues for somewhat recent starters) but will make the big leap and charge you an arm and leg for it. Don't get me completely wrong. I think Seiko 5's are great. There are a lot of really cool ones. And, these new "SKX-like" Seiko 5's will make fairly good entry-level watches for Seiko, not necessarily entry-level dive watches anymore, however. And, probably a great starting platform for mods also. But, I still think the spirit and more professionally spec'd SKX prior to these watches has taken a negative hit. Personally, I felt it may have been more logical to upgrade and rightfully elevate the SKX status officially into the Prospex line instead of Seiko 5. I mean people saying the Prospex is too large already aren't entirely correct. I mean there are probably even way more Seiko 5 models than many know about.

As I've stated in the UGWC Facebook Groups the SRPD79K1 looks awesome, I've been looking for an all matte black watch for quite some time now and I guess this will fit my needs. And the lume, I've really great expectation to how gorgeous the lume will look on the all-black dial.

After hearing a few other youtuber opinions on it not being iso or a screw down crown, it did seem Seiko might be trying to cut costs, BUT after hearing the always positive TGV speak about Seiko doing this to bring in new enthusiasm for the next generation and making the SKX replacement line a entry level version of their more professional divers, that makes absolute sense. And it actually is kind of genius of Seiko. They are basically offering pre modded SKX’s and they can release new versions all the time to create buzz. I can just hear the young buyers “Oh have you seen the new blah blah blah version?!!” I think it’s a good move, as long as prices are kept at entry levels.

If they discontinued the SKX for these it is not a very good idea if they also sell skx it is an awesome idea

Those Hugo bits were hilarious lol. Thanks for that TGV!

While I’ll miss it’s ISO certification, the reality is that a good amount of SKX’s are modded desk divers. They’re simply offering more color combinations, and saving you the trouble of swapping that movement in anyway. Aesthetically I like the new line. Would love to see it in person. While change can be tough to deal with at first, one still should accept it’s inevitability. The SKX line wasn’t going to last forever. Thank you TGV!

The obligatory "wish this was 38mm" comment. Every single video for watches 40mm+ Lol.

Love these. Can't wait for them to become more available and to grab one of the rose gold versions as a dress watch.

Finally a new Skx!! Thanks for this video!!! Too bad for the 200 m, but I think it is a compromise having the glass in the back case
