Seiko Prospex SRP777 Dive Watch Review | aBlogtoWatch 

I bought my SRP777 for my Eurotrip and have been traveling with it since July 1st. I cannot overstate how happy I am with this watch. The comfort, ruggedness, legibility and aesthetics are all perfect. There hasn't been a single lighting situation where I could not read the dial. And the Day-Date has been indispensable, it is so easy to forget what day it is when you're drinking every night... Great review James! Your Instagram pics were what tipped me over the edge to get it!

Just bought this watch for $350, I'm in love with it. One of the best watch purchases I've made.

I recently bought the SRP777, and I absolutely love it. It’s one of those watches that every time you check to see what time it is, you tell yourself damn that’s a cool Watch. I started with seiko when my Watch obsession started about 15 years ago. I’m now the owner of a Rolex Submariner, an omega Seamaster professional ceramic, a brietling colt, tag heuer aquaracer and longines legend diver. you may argue that Rolex or Omega are better watches due to the prestige and high prices, however, when it comes to the “cool” factor, and history, the SRP777 is right up there wit Omega and Rolex. This is a legendary Watch with great history. If you’re thinking about buying one don’t hesitate, this is a great Watch that will put a smile on your face every time you wear it. I’ve recently read the Seiko is releasing a “mini turtle”, Whois is 42mm. I’m exited for those to come out so I can pick up another one.

My personal favorite watch reviewer on The Tube. Another nice job James. Keep em coming.

Thank you for the nice video - you guys are really doing a marvellous job. Everytime I'm interrested in a certain watch I somehow bump into one of your videos or online reviews and they always bring out the main points in a very concise way. Besides that the videos (voice and pictures) are well made and pleasent to watch and listen (no unnecessary information or self promotion). By the way I just ordered an SRP777 and can't wait to have it on my wrist ...

thank you James, your reviews are by far my favorites

Bought my one yesterday, Great piece for my Collection! Can't wait the delivery:) Greets from Germany

in my early days-1950-1970, rolexes were kind of hard use utility watches without the rolls royce price. i think the seiko reissue of the turtle fills my utility niche perfectly without breaking the bank! thanks!

This is the best Seiko Turtle review on RU-vid. Informative and entertaining. This review made me buy one.

2019. And I am getting this. Superb Review and helped me make decision.

Love the size, love the shape, Seiko engineered, the movement is bullet-proof ..... I want one!

Great review. I got mine recently and love it. Amazing value for the money. No question, much nicer than the SKX. I love the weight, the rubber strap, the details like buckle, keeper, case back and of course that Seiko lume. Hard to take it off the wrist.

James, just love your reviews. So clear and insightful and as a fellow diver enthusiast you are my go to review person. Great watch. I will be getting one. Keep your reviews coming you are by far the best watch reviewer on the net.

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed the review, pls keep up the good work. Cheers

I just had a Pepsi version arrive and I’m thrilled with it. No alignment issues and an absolute value. I have plenty of divers, but this cost me sub $300. I do like the rubber strap too.

It looks just like my Seiko 6306-7001 watch i got back in 1977 when in the Navy. I paid a 124.99 for it at the ships store. My old Seiko is banged up, finish missing on parts of the bezel, and one scratch on the crystal. It still keeps great time and I have never had it serviced. I still love the Seiko that i have owned for 44 years.

SEIKO FOR LIFE

Just bought my first seiko. Love this watch and gonna wear mine on a nato too. Sub is my perfect everyday but wouldn’t take it diving cuz Rolex loom blows. My Srp773 will be Perfect compliment for all the activities where I’d be worried about breaking an expensive watch. I’ve always admired seiko but non of the designs thrilled me until I saw this. Thanks for the review!!

I bought one today and fortunate to have the J version. Now I am a proud owner of the SRP777J1. Keeping it forever!

Thanks James! You’ve convinced me to purchase the Seiko Turtle. Beautiful watch and well thought out video! New subscriber

Excellent review. Good camera work and lighting. Good wrist shots in different straps. Well spoken. Much appreciated.

this are the videos why I have subscribed this Channel. good job James

Just got mine today, so far it has not disappointed, Still have my 30 year old 7h26 though I did pass it down to my son. Great review

Great review! The SRP777 is one of my favorite watches.

I’ve had this 777 for 3 years now. Runs like a champ! Mine is running around -25 a day which is acceptable. I’m very happy with this watch.

Great review. I watched this video 4x before buying the 777. I was set on getting the Coke version, but this vid did it for me. I can't think of any other watch at this price range that comes close.

definitely thinking about geting this. I usually wear chronographs but the clear crisp simplicity of the face is really drawing me in.

Great review, mirrors my thoughts on it as well, it’s a great everyday wear watch. Complete tank and timeless style.

Nice editing - I like the transition to the Nato strap. Very slick!

I gave the 773. It's the blue version. It's my favorite watch in my collection

I have some more expensive watches than my turtle but its performance and toughness just brings me back to it more than the others. I believe if you get one of these you will not be disappointed.

The thing that amazes me is how the case design makes the larger watch more stable on my rather bony 7 inch wrist. With the SKX and indeed many other designs the watch slips round to face slightly away from me, no matter how tight the strap. With the turtle it simply sits, very comfortably on the top of my wrist. Clever stuff from Seiko ....

the best review ever ! I am going to buy this watch cause of you ! I hope I will like it ! cause I am almost broke !

Just bought this! Our local Seiko store was having a sale (35% off), so I simply couldn't resist. Your review is right on the money!

The 777 just looks amazing. Just ordered a 779. I'll wear it for a while and keep a black insert handy for when the pepsi honeymoon ends.

I agree that the Srp777 is a much better watch than the SKX, I have both and the SRP is getting majority wrist time over all my other watches. Have Omega Speedy Pro and Tudor Pelagos, both are great watches but for me, something about the Seiko SRP just garners that wrist time. Love my turtle.

Great Video informative and well spoken. Question... does this model come in a GMT Version? Thanks

What a handsome watch, got to buy it now.

I like the way you think fast and speak fast. That's the way to make a video not dull and boring such as Urban Gentry. Thumbs up.

I am from Romania . Thanks for the presentation. I stopped this watch too. After your presentation, I buy it for sure. It's a stylish watch for an active man!

thx 4 the review. i purchased last week and have worn it for a couple days at work. absolutly love it but unfortunatly the rubber strap slides out of the metal keeper a couple times a day at work. so i ordered a orig. bond nato for it. hopefully itll wear better. maybe i should get a strapcode oyster for it too.

I will be buying one soon , i own the skx007 i love it , great video thanks for the review .

How's it going , thank you for the info.on the Seiko making the decision easier as a diver been looking at direction points back to Seiko just sub.to your channel!!! Thanks keep the uploads coming!! Happy diving!!!

Great job on this review!! I agree wholeheartedly!!

Solid review. Great work keep it up!

Just bought one. I love it. Great review.

Took my watch back and got a new one....been running perfect 👌.

Bought it,hated it,got it on a Bond nato,LOVE IT! My SKX has been consigned to the display case and i have a feelng it`s gonna be there for a long time. Probably till the Turtle needs a service....

Love this model (the "Triple 7"), being a big fan of its predecessors.

Another great video James!

I have the 773. It's the blue version. It's my favorite watch in my collection

Great review. This watch is absolutely my favorite in the collection for all the reasons stated. Out of curiosity who’s nato strap is that? I like the brushed and faceted hardware.

I bought one used (1 service) from my friend for $180 and it came with an additional CRAFTER BLUE rubber strap. I put mine on Uncle Seiko razorwire bracelet for $60 on black Friday. SRP777 is such an incredible value way more so than the discontinued and price gouged (in comparison) SKX series. I bought a more modern Seiko "5KX" instead to compensate.

Love the design of the watch. Looking forward to one, ruggedness and reliability is also a key factor for my purchase.

i love my srp777j. mine keeps amazing time. Great review

Iv loved the 6309 since the 80,s. The 777 is really awesome! Had to get one.

Just ordered this one and ordered a black nato strap for it ! Cant wait !

Great review, James!

Beautiful watch👍👍Thx you for your review!

This is awesome, great review.

Just got my srp777 last week...even sporting a grey nato from blushark.

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen of anything on RU-vid. Snappy, to the point, no repetitive points, engaging, interesting.

Excellent review very helpful... this is what I'm facing: I own a SKX 007 which I like a lot and I am looking at getting either the black sumo or this 777 turtle. My issue with the turtle is that it may look to similar to the SKX whereas the sumo is a definite step up. I also have a 7inch wrist and feel that the turtle may wear better . Tough decision any guidance?

Took me a year, but I finally found a black dial Seiko Turtle (SRP777) finally with good dial/chapter ring alignment. Seiko quality control is crap on Turtles these days. One thing no review has mentioned is how much better quality the caseback feels on these new models. I noticed my new Turtle (SRP777) has the same caseback as my Seiko SBDC051.

Very good review. Thank you!

Damn i love this watch. Just wish it was 2 mm smaller and i would get a 775 in this second. Good review

great review buddy , Sub'd , i just bough the Citizen Nighthawk bj7000-52e , awaiting delivery from america to UK , i need this seiko now beautiful

Where can you get an aftermarket strap like the one this comes with?

If only we knew how high the SKX would go. Just picked up this gem for 305Euro new. It's now the 'cheaper alternative' to the SKX, but still I like it a lot. Great package.

Great review, that Bezel on the SKX looks tops and that grey nato really compliments the watch. My wrist is just under 7 inches so the SRP maybe a bit too big but I'm going to try it on.

The more I wear mine, the more I love it. I got mine $35 more than an SKX, it was on sale and got an extra 25%ish from Creation Watches.

I lucked out at my jcpennys. They are phasing out Seiko and had one watch left in the clearance section. It was the 775. I had know idea what a great watch it was until after I purchaed

Finally James! Been waiting for this bad boy.

Where can I buy the newer silicone strap? I bought the Padi and it came with the bracelet so I took it off and ordered the older rubber strap..seems like the newer version is way more comfortable and felixble.

Nice review James. How about the 4R36 accuracy? Thanks.

You are very good 👍🏻, I'm thinking about getting one 🤔

my favorite reviewer

I also dive with dive watches as a backup bottom timer, ascent reference, and safety stop timer. I absolutely love this review from a diver's perspective. Thanks for the upload! I just purchased my 777.

Got me a new turtle two weeks ago and totally love it. I ordered a double domed sapphire crystal. Not necessary but I hope it’ll be worth the effort. 🕐⚙️🍸

Excellent review.

Had a skx007 but hated that the watch head would always slide off my wrist. I would always have to adjust it back on the top of my wrist. Does the cushion case wear more stable?

Nice review ! What about the accuracy ? Because i've heard that the SKX are not best when it comes to mesure the time; they lose or gain to many second in my opinion (if what i know is right).

one of the best dive watches love this watch

The 777 is the classic Turtle. A must have in any collection.

I plan to by this beautiful watch as a birthday present for myself. Great review. One suggestion though - please do not shake and swing watch while reviewing... it made me a bit dizzy. Still shots were perfect.

Seiko Turtle FTW! I love my new SRPA21.

Great review. Yes the best sub $500 diver today.

Excellent review. I've always worn SKX-007s, but I'm going to get a turtle case Seiko. Everything's perfect about Seiko divers but the case back. They can take some lessons from the Russians and their Vostok Amphibia case back design......absolutely no torsion or wear on the gasket when the case back is removed or tightened down.

I too bought this gem of a watch and i love it.the lume is awesome and its very comfortable.cant even tell im wearing it.can anyone tell me where i can get bracelets to change out on the srp777 for different looks?

This is a great watch, Have been wanting to buy it but unsure about the size. I love my skx and this looks like a better version.

Where did you get that bezel again? Could you give a link?

Sold. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase the seiko skx 007j, what are your thoughts, l love ths design and feel on the wrist but l'm concenned about thw power reserve. Would it keep time for a day or two, mayne overnight without it having wrist time. Or have you gor any other watch you can suggest please?

Great review!

Great review cheers

Great review. Thanks for putting it up. Could I ask did you upgrade the bezel yourself or hand it in to a shop to get done?

Subtle reference to The Grey NATO with that SKX strap :)

Very popular with Special forces even though it’s more expensive than G shock and Timex idiglo.

Well doesn't it use a lager diameter bezel insert than the size of the SKX007's size?

PLEASE ANSWER: WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE NATO STRAP (just saying many would like to know)
