I love your detailed unbiased reviews. Cinematography and music is absolutely spot on. I love your theme music and I must say that you're my personal favorite watch reviewer. I truly admire and appreciate how you don't actively try to sell these watches like most YTbers and simply put out this content out of genuine passion of this hobby. Your wonderful accent adds another level of "luxury and high class to the production of all your videos. Hope you hit 100k subs soon as you truly deserve it. Much love from Canada.

Currently, this is one of my favorite watch channel on youtube. I love ur review, the macro shoot and one thing that seal them all, i love ur third person view shot. Keep updating the channel 👍👍

Damn, not matter the watch, you consistently hit it out of the park with your videos lately Hafiz.

私の愛用時計を美しく撮影してくれてありがとう。あなたの撮影技術は超一流です

I think the ultimate testimony of the MM300 is despite its pricepoint you find yourself wearing it as a tool. Every luxury Swiss diver I've ever owned, I am concious about pampering it. Wearing an MM300 is similar to wearing an SKX, you bung it on and it sort of stays on your wrist through thick and thin.

Almost at 10k subs. Keep it up. Definitely one of best watch RU-vidrs out there.

Excellent review, great macro and commentary 👍🏻👍🏻

As usual, top review! It won’t be long before you hit a 100k subscribers.

Great review Hazif. I can easily watch this review all day long!

Beautiful macro shots,well done!!!

Thanks for the great footage - I have very similar forearms, and also a 6.5" wrist. Needless to say, that I absolutely love how the watch looks on you. Now I know that this is going to be my one and only watch (once I have sold/given away all my Ali builds...).

your videos are awesome! good work!

Great review mate! I'm getting this watch soon too.

Very good video. Amazing macro shots. Keep it up.

Curiously, I don't mind the grooves on the date wheel, I think it offers a bit of tool like texture and industrial appearance.

Your macro photography is fantastic!

Great review and a very cool Seiko; love the blue color!

Fantastic review sir. I love this watch and you just summed it up perfectly 👍

Excellent video as always. I’ll stick to my trusty 16610 but I do love this blue dial diver.

I like your taste in watches and I like your reviews as well! Keep on with the good work!

Amazing review, Hafez ! Well done 👍.

Great job! As usual. Thank you so much!

Have been waiting for this review 😁. Good one Hafiz👍

My favourite channel.

Your narration is well executed. 👍

Best review!! Best honest review point out all the good & bad👍.

I own the Seiko sbdc033 or Sumo/Blumo and this blue Marine Master is a grail watch for me . Absolutely love this watch .

Your reviews are a level above, Hafiz. You've quickly become my favourite RU-vid watch reviewer. Keep up the amazing work!

Amazing video! My next Watch!

Underrated watch. Great video!

Great review and best videography to justify watch quality.

Hafiz, another amazing video! Would you be able to review a Rolex Day-Date? I loved your review of the Datejust.

Love your videos brother. Best watch reviews on RU-vid. What kind of camera do you use if you don't mind me asking?

Great review, new subscriber!

Lovely watch and great review mate..

I can't get past the X logo. And that is why I went with the sbdx017. I wish Seiko just kept the word Marinemaster.

Excellent macro shots. 👍

I have a seiko skx009k2 on jubilee bracelet I absolutely love it. It's a lil tank. It proudly sits next to my rolex submariner and IWC aquatimer.

great work as always. Please review a JLC master geographic!

Thanks for reviewing Seiko. Please do more entry level watches that u like.

Such a killer watch with great wrist presence. Hard to beat at the price point.

Indeed a beautiful color 👍

A magnificent piece! Wear it in good health.

blue dial is very beautiful. very nice watch!!

Such a wonderfully made video! You’ve captured the beauty of the deep blue dial, applied hour markers, and the various angles of the case. Shame about the finishing on thr seconds hand though. :(

Thank you Hafiz ! As always an excellent macro review. and yes.... from 10 meters away, I can see that "X" (PS) Is it really a "MARINEMASTER" ? Not for me.

Mine arrived today direct from Japan. I’m in love 😆😍👌

Love this one! I have the MM200 and this one is next on the list for sure.. just have to convince my wife

I have this and love it!

Great review! As for the lum, I’m guessing it was designed as such with depleting brightness as our eyes adjust to the under water ambience. Otherwise, I’m guessing again, a constant illumination, like what Balls offers, might be a sweet target for barracudas... we wouldn’t want that. No no no. Cheers!!! 😀

I have this one to, and i like it alot!

Nice video thank you. In my opinion Seiko removed the name so they can bring it back a couple of years later as a Limited edition. . That’s what they do.

I suppose the question to ask yourself is if your buying a watch for an investment or your buying a watch you like , but it’s a little expensive l feel for a seiko , it’s a nice looking watch though build quality looks good. Thank you for doing this video , as usual content is very good .

I prefer the blue on this to the new BB58. Gorgeous bezel insert.

You need to add a link and move the micro adjustment holes on the clasp and you would have a better fit without always having the clasp extention out. Maybe on hot days.

I really don't have a problem with it no longer having the Marinemaster marking; I like its low key attitude. It IS a Prospex, after all, and, if you don't know enough to see what it is, you don't know enough to care.

Epic review as usual. I shared a video on Reddit. Hope it made a difference.

Beautiful marine master waiting next year for the new seiko movements from Grand Seiko passing down Then Pulling the trigger Plus Another masterpiece review

How long can you keep the mm300 before servicing it?I think that would last a lifetime as well,whats the daily accuracy of the watch?

Excellent, Hafiz, thanks for the hard work youve put into this. For me, a married family man with too many financial commitments, I really really appreciate the 'Prospex' branding... why? Well, if I turn up at home with an Omega, Rolex or Tudor, my non-horology-enthusiast wife AKA 'The Finance Director' would blow her lid and months of lectures, hard looks and sarcastic comments follow... so for me, a watch that to the unititated might seem at first glance to be a Turtle or SKX thanks to the shape, the luxury of the watch slips under the wire 😂..."it's just another Seiko diver"..... and the domestic peace is kept.. It's a bit like my car... an unbadged Benz S500... "what? 5lt V8 engine? Id NEVER be THAT irresponsible dear...." And thus a happy marriage of 25 years continues...... However, the "Crown Prince" .. Number 1 Son.. is now 16 and is also interested in watches and cars. In fact I gave him my prized SKX007J for his 16th birthday. I am now doubting the judgement of encourages Seiko enthusiasm here, as he knows damn fine that my MM300 is no 'ordinary Seiko' and came very very close to spilling the beans on my Grand Seiko Sports... 'just an old Seiko Quartz, dear...'.... I will need to have a long hard chat around how the world works!

Love everything about this watch except the weight

Having sla021 its such a great monster.

Is it normal to have that seemingly rough edges on the bezel at 6:23?

Thanks

This still boggles my mind it can be so large on paper but fit on the wrist well. I need to see one in real life!

any idea if this wears larger than a polar explorer 2 216570 ?

Seiko movements always do much much better than what they state. Like my mini turtle for example. It gains less than a second a day. I'm sure the MM does aswel

Love this watch, I have the black one and I just picked up the blue one tonight :-). Great review as usual.

Another great review. Any chance you'll do a Tudor BB 58 in the future?

Pls review SLA043 SLA017 SLA037. The family of 62MAS reissue

I love this model …. So much level for the price …

if you can only choose one, sla021 or sla023?

Great review ! Out of the blue watches, which one would you recommend , seiko marinemaster , tudor pelagos, tudor Black bay blue 39 or omega seamaster 300 (bbb41 owner) ? Keep the great reviews coming !

I’ve had my MM300 for 8 years. I’ve never had it serviced. You are correct, it does have an unacceptably high seconds per day gain/loss. Mine gains about 10 seconds per day. The saving grace is that it’s built like a tank. I’ve worn it and banged it against everything. Mine is not pretty. I’ve been hiking, camping, swimming and everything else in between. It can take just about any kind of abuse you can give it.

At this price point, the lack of finishing quality on the hands and dial is acceptable

Hola amigo me gusta mucho este reloj me encanta el lumen ni que decir me imagino que también hay en negro saludes

The dial looks matt in most of your shots...is it really sunburst?

I looking for Quartz Marine Master..

its very bi in the arm?like sumo or better?

How do you like SLA047 ? Comparing to SLA023

What's the price of this ???

Great review. These are great watches. They definitely wear small and are fantastic professional tools. I agree that the Prospex X logo is a step backwards. It cheapens the look of the watch because the logo is poor (like a knock-off games console) and because there's no range separation between these truly professional watches (and LX), with the cheaper, non professional models. Good dial/hand finish for the price when you consider the finish of the case and the quality of the movement.

Man I love Seiko but as a watch enthusiast who loves many brands, the competition is just too fierce at this price point. Now we're talking Tudor BB, Breitling Superocean (regular & heritage) price territory. Not only do I think those are better watches, but I have a $300 Seiko- why would I get another one for 3k when I can branch out to other quality brands that I can't have for cheap? I can make an exception for GS Snowflake or SBGM221 because those are exceptional pieces, but this is just another X logo... it's hard to sell me on it just because it looks pretty.

So, is this a keeper for you?

Seiko outdid themselves by introducing the blue option

It’s a beautiful watch but I’d argue that bracelet clasp extension design is objectively poor. What were they thinking?! The clasp design and the stated accuracy are both dealbreakers for me, so this one is a pass. Beautiful videography though, as always!!

Is this watch worth the money

It's heavy than Rolex Deepsea, that's crazy.

Yes with the"X" logo looks cheap, i prefer with name MarineMaster sounds more professional!!

Great watch but too heavy

I despise the X on the dial

More beautyfall then seamaster

Great watch but unfortunatly too heavy !

If they make these at 39 diameter...then its perfect

We should stop referring to this as a Marinemaster.. it’s now a prospex unfortunately, following in the MM design...

when I decided I decided for the best 😉 SBDX001

MM 300 is the King of all diving watches while Submariner is the king of all desk divers.

Nice looking but the MOST uncomfortable watch I've ever worn (on bracelet) this one needs to be on rubber

This does not have have the Marinemaster wording.. I find that a let down..
