I bought late enough to be able to look at this version side-by-side with the 39.5mm "older" version. Granted, it's 100% objective, but I found the pure black and white smaller/older version more appealing. Add in the 20mm vs. 21mm lugs, and this one lost out. I really like having the solar-quartz option in my collection...in either design.

@WeekendWarrior604 Год назад

oddly I thought the same, especially with the simplicity without the red arms

@D0NTsmokeCRACK 6 месяцев назад

Yea I’m thinking the same thing. Black and white is just so striking. Grey on silver just looks unfinished

@vincentferreira1135 12 дней назад

I have the “older” version and I love it. It was bought for me as a gift and I sent them a link with THIS watch in the video. Idk how the wrong one got ordered, but man I’m glad it did. The “panda” variant is gorgeous and it’s been hard to take it off.

@BradleyHansonPhotography 8 дней назад

Agreed. I like them both, but I think the white date window and lack of red appeal to me more😊

Seiko: We're going BIG to 41mm! Invicta; Hold my beer...

@cylentone Год назад

I like it. I know it is unpopular - but 41mm is not a large watch for everybody. Visually, my favorite size for my wrist is 42mm and I prefer watches in that size additionally because I need to be able to tell the time without my reading glasses. I have a few nice watches in 38mm that I bought in the beginning of my journey and it is really hard for me to tell the time without my glasses - the main purpose of a watch. Now that I pay more attention to the legibility, I also have a few 40mm watches that are legible.

@scottsj4625 Год назад

I miss the days when Seiko had entry-level prices. A couple years ago I got a similar-looking watch with the same 3 dials, the size is 41mm in diameter. I do not know the other measurements. It has the mechaquartz movement, silver dial, and black register dials. The strap says it's leather but it is stiff. I only paid 159.00 and I have not had to change the battery yet. It has mineral crystal and not solar.

@bigidiot123 Год назад

Seiko is in lala land with regards to their pricing nowadays. Granted it's not apples to apples but the fact that this watch retails for more than an automatic Tissot PRX is kind of wild. I really wonder how they think they can justify $695 for a quartz watch.

@alfieakaronaldog Год назад

I prefer the bevelled bezel of the smaller model. Everything hits the mark on the one I got which is nice for a Seiko. Fits my wrist well to so it’s a keeper 🎉

That is some wild money for a solar quartz, it's lovely but a grand?! I wonder if the 21mm lug width is a throw back to the flightmaster :)

@TheMonsterHunterTV Год назад

Seiko has a big plus when it comes to revision. You will always get things replaced. The Problem with microbrands is, that you newer know if they are around in 10 years. Watches aren't made for big collections. Most people want to own like 2 or 3 good pieces that will last a very long time. Can't go wrong with seiko when it comes to that

@Boodoo4You 3 месяца назад

That’s the RRP, but you can get it much cheaper. I just bought it for 950AUD which is 630USD, and Aussie prices are always much higher than America

@birdwatcher1337 11 месяцев назад

I have the ssc813 and absolutely love mine. Wears perfectly. Usually I am not a fan of quartz because it's so much lighter and doesn't feel like a quality product but the ssc813 is super heavy, it's great. Idk if I'd get this bigger one, I like the vintage-ish look of the ssc813 but this still looks pretty good. I definitely like the hands on this one compared to mine. Love what Seiko is doing lately, they are my favorite brand by far. Also I'd just like to add Jody, on last years as well as this years model you said something about the date placement. Honestly, it disappears unless you are actually looking for it. I like it.

@davidnewton3528 Год назад

I have the original SSC813 and I like it, I always change the straps on these watches to leather anyway so wasn't that bothered about the bracelet but it did annoy me how they didn't match it. Your criticism of the date is absolutely correct and people might not appreciate form the video as it is zoomed in. Not only is the date tiny but it is highly sunken, so at arms length it is basically impossible to make it out. Dateless would have probably been nicer in this case.

@orangedan5424 Год назад

Great review Jody 👍 very beautiful watch, but I'm a bit disappointed, at that price range I would thought Seiko uses Ceramic for the bezel but NO they choose the cheaper aluminium insert. Honestly at over 1k it's not a good buy. However I have heard people can obtain it around $750, then it can be tempting.

@denisalg1171 Год назад

I have the solar powered SNE497 but I only paid around 250€ for it, on sale, including what I paid for an aftermarket steel shroud. I think Seiko solar movements are awesome but I just can't get over the price they are asking for these Speedtimers. When you can get a mechanical chronograph for just a bit more I think you really have to want one of these to justify the price.

@cjoy36 Год назад

I am absolutely in love with this watch! Yes, MSRP is too high, but who buys watches at MSRP? I got my SSC911 price matched at a local authorized dealer here in Illinois for $560 USD (currently $847AD). This panda-ish style is exactly what I was looking for in my 1st chronograph. One day, I want to own the Hamilton Intra Matic Panda, but I don't have $2,000 to spend on one.

@abbath1586 Год назад

I got the old one because of this new one - they brought nothing new but a worse style and larger size. I was hoping for a ceramic bezel and maybe screw down pushers and at the very least the crown due to it being part of the prospex line. the old solar version in the 🐼 is 🔥

@markdarwin4390 Год назад

@cartoonpete407 Год назад

Seiko is trying to go the Rolex way of sizing instead of cleaning up their quality issues. SMH.

@ThePurple1968 Год назад

what quality issues ? I have so many Seikos and they are fantastic

@TheMonsterHunterTV Год назад

The guys who are watching channels like this are mainly people who rather buy 10 microbrand-watches from aliexpress than one proper watch. When these guys go after a seiko they buy from strange websites with huge discounts and wonder why they get watches with alignment-issues or stuff like that, because they just bought a watch that has been sent back from another customer. If you go to an actual shop and buy a Seiko you will never get one with issues. I also have quite a few Seikos. Mainly vintage watches but i also bought the new alpinist. That one in particular has Saphire, 20 bar water resistance, great lume and heritage. Something you won't get from a 50 dollars aliexpress-watch. But these guyys don't care and buy more crap

@markdarwin4390 Год назад

@@TheMonsterHunterTV I've bought several microbrand watches, and most of them have Seiko movements in them, and they run spot on...no issues. In the main, the whole watch is good, and i think the most I've paid is about £90. I think the issues that people have with Seiko quality, is when you're paying 90 quid, you accept it may not be perfect. BUT, for a brand like Seiko, with their heritage, I wouldn't expect alignment and finishing issues, and cheap bracelets and clasps. This watch on this video is a grand! You'll get far better quality from Tissot, for example, at that money. Seiko are far too hit and miss, and too many reviews and reviewers back this up.

@cartoonpete407 Год назад

@@markdarwin4390 Precisely :) The fanboys won't admit this, sadly. I do own many Seikos too, even made-in-Japan ones, and I can say that, unless you're particular about minor details, they are great watches. Many who don't see these issues are usually not particular about them. I have a made-in-Japan Seiko bought from an authosrised dealer, and the chapter ring is slightly misaligned. I didn't even notice it until I saw watch reviewers pointing out this issue, and it was a couple of years later.

@MS28227 Год назад

I had the 39mm and turned it quickly. The date was hard to read and it wore too heavy. The bracelet just looked odd and I couldn’t find an aftermarket one for it. Tried this one on the other day and was hoping for some improvements… It’s a great looking watch, but it just doesn’t work for me. Thanks for another excellent video.

@Conundrum191 Год назад

Hmm I think I like the older white more than this new silver-white. Also kind of funny given these new models are now coming out, and it is still almost impossible to get the older SCC813 panda anywhere, let alone for a discount off MSRP.

@jacobgreenmanedlion1863 Год назад

For this price you could get a late 80s Ebel 1911 Sport Chrono; it may not look like the modern El Primero, but it is powered by one. I paid a bit more than that for a solid gold one (though less than a Tudor steel chrono) and that 36k tick sound is just special.

@WatchmakerErik Год назад

Jody! Thank you so much for slowing down the sticker peeling enough for us to enjoy it. So glad you listened to my plea 😁 I'm enjoying this video with a new to me ebayed Pulsar chronograph on my wrist. It has the 7T62 quartz Chrono alarm movement and it's the X138 style. Integrated bracelet and a carbon fiber look dial, with red sub-hands and a very interesting dial. What caught my eye though are the hands with lightening holes. (Not lightning holes.) Very, very racecar vibe and I think you'd like it 😃

@barrettwbenton Год назад

This is sort of funny: Seiko comes out with a bigger version of their "Goldilocks" (to me, anyway) solar Speedtimer, at a moment when watches are slowly trending back to smaller cases. About a week ago, I got hole of a 90s-era Seiko SUS-series chrono (7T32-9000), and now I'm wondering if I'll ever put up with anything much over 40mm on my wrist again; this thing is even a tad smaller overall than my 017 Alpinist. Were I in the market for something new, the smaller Speedtimer would win the day handily.

@toddgaak422 Год назад

What is Seiko thinking with the 21mm lugs?? Total deal killer for me.

@haaf_watches Год назад

I love my Speedtimer - however the one thing that annoys the hell out of me if the fact Seiko have made no effort whatsoever to integrate the end links with the case. It looks like the bracelet was just grabbed from a random box in the Seiko factory, and doesn't really fit the watch aesthetically.

@stevemoon2136 Год назад

Unsurprisingly good "everyman" sizing, but compared to other watches using this movement, the RRP is just a wee bit expensive for a quartz IMO, but that's what you get with a modern Seiko.

A really nice looking chronograph. And I'm not bothered at all about the color of the subdials. Actually thought they were navy blue and thought they looked great as such. But I also mistook the hands to be black with white lume...which I would have liked much more. I hate polished silver hands on a light dial. Matte black with white lume would have been very nice. And the tiny clasp with almost no micro adjustments...why?? I mean how the watch actually wears on your wrist is not small part of how much you enjoy a watch. Such a weird thing to not address after I'm sure many many people have commented on the importance of such over the years.

I’m really not a fan of the 60 minute chrono registers. Maybe it’s my dodgy eyesight but it’s just too hard to read the minute register. Also the three register chrono layout that is standard nowadays seems to always have one useless register. I wish Seiko would reisssue some single register 30 minute chronos like the original speedtimers used. It’s a much cleaner look and easier read.

@soulsphere1749 Год назад

I'm happy they released the 39mm one before because IMO this one is watered down in two spots: [1] The standard AL insert bezel is nowhere near as cool as the solid steel angled one of the 39; and [2] the skindiver / 62MAS case of the other one is just cool compared to this more standard one. But that isn't to scrape on anyone who likes this new one, I'm happy it has its fans. And I feel the pain of the 2-hole microadjust on my original too, unfortunately. Had to replace it with a CASIO clasp cover that has 4 microadjust holes, so that's kind of embarassing for Seiko. Great review as always Jody.

People dont realise that at the end of a decade or so the capacitors on the solar or kinetic model or the resistors, will fail and it will become a paperweight, Im occasionally offered these watches and when they break no-one wants to fix them, you can try it yourself but its not a service part in the normal run of things and a kind watchmaker will change a movement he wont repair one. Its alot of money to pay for built in obsolescence (sp?) I've thought about fitting NH35's to fugged kinetic divers but the dials are a problem, as is the stem, and if your me the hand fitting too.

Very nice watch Jody, like the size and for a solar mecaquartz, not overpriced. I'd buy it.

It is not a mecaquartz.

Looks nice but to me the tachymeter is the most useless complication. Seriously who uses that? Wouldn’t you want a more precision instrument if you really wanted to accurately measure speed? Don’t get me wrong. I think they are all great looking watches and I defiantly wouldn’t say no to a free omega, but I don’t think I would shell out my own cash for one.

Agree I think the same thing about the slide rule on Breitlings. Ridiculous and useless

Watches are nothing more than jewelry for men. Reality

I wish Seiko would bring out the Black Series Speedtimer in the 41.4mm case as the 39 is just a tad too small on my wrist.

@mattrossesq Год назад

Wait... is this REALLY a Seiko? You didn't mention if the hour markers and hands aligned...

@eljayr4669 Год назад

A nice looking watch. To me, talking divers, they all look the same. It’s nice to see a Seiko that doesn’t look like a Seiko.

arghhhh, i been waiting for a "bigger" speedtimer as got big wrists. But why oh why Seiko do the 21mm lug width, limited with straps for it.

I tried this and the old one on at my local today. Definately prefer the size of the new one, but not sure on the colours and can't justify the price. Might have to see where prices go, $700 is more where its at. Definately a decent watch however.

Jody - top right of first (outer) box - you might want to edit that out....

I just bought this one ,hate black date ,but very nice watch

@anthonytrump8024 Год назад

Great review. I purchased the 39mm but on the wrist it was too small for me - so went instantly back in the box. I purchased the 41mm but with the black face - and love it. The hands stand out on the black face (you mentioned some issues with the “panda” colouring). 👍🏼

Looks even more datona-esque with the thicker bezel! Watch out Pagani Design 😂

Some say. There is noting wrong with Purple :) I can see a Speedtimer coming into my life sometime down the road..

I still like the Bulova Lunar Pilot a bit more. And the Omega Speedmaster spoils me forever. But the SSC911 Speedtimer is worth the half-price deal I got from a private seller who confessed that he's raising funds for a Tudor Black Bay Chrono. Lucky for me, the seller in Minnesota didn't put a scratch on the Seitona and sold it to me for $399 USD. It arrived today. My only real criticism of the watch is the date window. If you can't read it, why put it on the dial? I challenge even the youngest person with eagle eyes to guess in broad daylight the date through that tiny recess.
