5Bargin! Just as good as watches 10x more expensive.
By James Greene
I’ve had a Seiko 200m diver for 7 years now and it is just as good if not better than the Tags, Omegas, Tissots and respective other swiss watches I’ve owned. What it may lack in “prestige” it more than makes up for in quality build, reliabilty and just plain toughness. With a oyster style band this watch has been mistaken for a Rolex GMT a lot of times. I’ve employed this watch as my main diving watch for years and it performs better than any other watch I have ever used, super bright markers, very exact automatic 21 jewel movement, just a great watch. Much better diver than my Brietling which cost me over $1000. This is a bargin for the price.

5A solid watch at a good price
By Douglas L. Terry
I’m 2 or three years into my second one. I’m hard on watches and the basi one I had lasted a lot of years of diving and hard use. And the primary watch still works, The face came loose and will turn around under the crystal (now that is mixing up when you firstborn see it). This one (as well as the old one) has been to well over 100 feet of sea water many, a great deal of times and has seen a lot of hard wearing. The only time I take it off is in the shower. And no the shower won’t injure it. It’s rugged and solid and utile for non divers who want a truely water proof watch as well as, obviosuly, divers. The polyurethane bands that come with them will crack and break. Keep and eye on that and replace the band before it does break and your watch drops down into the Cayman Trench or a heap of such place. The metal bands likewise are not just great. They are made in such a way as to snag and finally come loose. I substituted the band on this one with one I made from nylon webbing. Both of these watches that I’ve had do tend to run a little fast, benefitting when it comes to 5 minutes per week.

A couple of popular notes one dive watches. A watch ought to be rated to 200 meters or more to be suitable for scuba diving. They will have a screw down crown (as this one does) to prevent leaks around the stem. Pay the extra cash and get a self winding watch. Battery powered watches will many times leak after the basi battery change.

5Handsome Divers Watch Exceptional Watchzone Service
By suetonius
I ordered this watch sight unseen at 11:00am. It arrived in Phoenix from Dallas by Fedex the next morning. It is nice to know that there are still companies that offer this level of service. Thanks Watchzone for the pretty watch.

As for the watch itself, I’ve only had it for a few hours. Here are my basi impressions: It is massive and manly, made of highly polished stainless steel with a dark blue face and a rotating blue and red bezel. A Diver’s watch, it is ranked for immersion in saltwater to 200 meters. It is automatic and so no battery is needed. The luminous paint applied on the hands and hour marks is not tritium but a glow-in-the-dark paint that Seiko claims will glow for 5 to 8 hours after 10 minutes exposure to bright light. This is the only feature that I have a problem with. The price was the lowest I saw on the internet with a good deal of marketers asking up to seventy five dollars more. The watch came discreetly and securely packed in a Fedex box with the initial Seiko jewelbox with pillow and a three year warranty card.
