5Seiko Orange Monster Automatic Dive Watch
By Shaka Zulu
Bought the watch from Amazon Sunday evening and it arrived on Thursday evening with the 5-day deliverance service. I’ve had it for a few days and I am exceedingly happy with it. I also own a Rolex Submariner, Breitling Chronomat, Omega Seamaster Chrono, Citizen Nighthawk, and a great deal of various Casios and Timexes. This Seiko automatic watch ranks just a hair beneath the $2000+ Swiss watches, but for under $200, it’s an unbelievable value. The quality and workmanship are splendid for a price in this range. For example, the second and minute hands line up precisely with the hash marks; when the second hand hits 12, the minute hand is algined incisively with the minute hash mark. Wow, I’ve seen $1000 Swiss quartz watches that don’t do that. The assemblage of all the parts look top notch. The rotating bezel has a precision feel and the click-stops align incisively with the hash marks on the dial. The alphanumeric markings, Lumbrite markers, and hands appear of high quality. Seiko’s cost savings is in the omission of hacking of the second hand, but slight backwards pressure does stop it for setting the time. Also, the black-on-white day and date even though easy to read appears to be imprinted on cheapy white plastic. The bracelet has solid stainless steel links, but the weight and chrome finish are more or less on the budget side. The watch appears to run fast by regarding 1 second each day, which is pretty good for a mechanical watch since I had a Timex quartz with an analog face that ran fast by when it comes to the same increment. I love the orange face and chrome bezel with recessed, black painted numerals and hash marks. The watch supplied by Amazon came with a Seiko box, instructions and warranty and does not appear to be a gray market watch. I saw the watch for for less on eBay but they were coming from overseas, so I salaried a few bucks more from Amazon located in the US. All in all, I am very satisfied with this Seiko watch and Amazon service.

Seiko’s SKX781 “Orange Monster” is achieving cult status among automatic sports watch gatherers and avid SCUBA divers. Along with a similar style in black, Model SKX 779 (Black Monster) and the 300 lucky owners who gathered a fixed edition “Yellow Monster” a great deal of years ago – Seiko has formulated a classic sports watch for the ages.

4Very Solid & Looks Good too!
By JB
I’ve had a lot of watches in my life. Some dressy, a great deal of functional, and a good deal of practically indestructible. This watch is a combining of all these factors. Very solid sentiment (and much heavier than my titanium dive watch). Looks outstanding and functions well. I also like the wetsuit link which allows a quick adjustment to fit over your wetsuit. The orange face is very legible, and at night, the watch glows almost bright sufficient to read by! The clasp is very secure, with a dual button release and an extra clasp to prevent accidental opening. Day & date are easy to adjust and very readable (much better than my Citizen). This is a solid performing watch and worth the money!
