Tandorio Monster VS Seiko Monster 

I find Tandorio watches acceptable, this is the first one I’ve had a minor issue with and for the price of the watch I can live with the misaligned bezel especially since when wearing it I’m the only who will know. This dial is a awesome color and not available in the real monster, quite happy with it.

I’ll check it out, I always wanted a real Sekio monster as I think these are sharp watches they are kinda on the large size but I have a big wrist. Really impressed with the tandorio considering what it cost.

I have one with decent lume, but I really like this brand as it a lot of watch for not a lot of money.

Можно покупать??

If you want a monster without seiko prices it will scratch the itch 😂

I do like the red dial.

I hate the pin and collar system, so far every watch I’ve had with that band type I’ve replaced the band.

I love seikos but the band on the seiko was trash, I was actually afraid it would pop off my wrist.

Absolutely the Sekio, tandorio lume is nothing to brag about. The seiko is a $400 watch vs a $65 watch which is the tandorio.

The Tandorio is a great beater watch.

Agree, I hadn’t planned on buying the seiko but when I saw it on sale I pulled the trigger. Tandorio is certainly a cheap watch, but I think they pack serious value for the price, and I generally wear my cheaper watches to work and they actually serve a purpose to me.

I’ve been impressed with this brand, I keep my expectations realistic though, but you can buy 6 of these for what a real monster cost.

I really like this style, and I've nothing with good luck with seiko's.

@@tomotopic1007 I love my seiko monster.

Not sure what you’re asking, but the tandorio is an excellent budget watch but it is a budget watch and a good daily beater.

It’s a solid bargain, and the Tandorio watches are generally what I wear to work.

I’ve always pointed out that tandoori lume is rather poor but I like the watches for their budget price.

@@bluecollarwatches7048 🎼 In my humble opinion Heimdallr brand are by far the best Monster, Tuna, 007 James Bond or GMT lookalikes! They exceed in everything and are still way cheaper than originals. Someone needs to take these watches out to sea and take some strong fishing string and secure, then drop each into 600 ft. of saltwater overnight to really see if they are indeed waterproof . Being they come from CHINA, I don't quite trust them and would like to see more testing done. Also on the Sapphire crystals as well. * Thanks 🇺🇸 .

I like them both, I found this one on sale.

My opinion of Tandorio watches is that they are great budget friendly watches, I myself wear my less expensive watches to work as I can damage them. I work night shift, so during the day I wear a better name brand watch, but to work I usually wear a AliExpress watch which look good and are in most cases great copies. Sea Knight I don’t have one but have seen the specs on them and photos and they look quite nice, so it would come down to how much your willing to spend, the sea knight is supposed to have better lume but Tandorio is about 40% cheaper. They probably come out of the same factory, it looks like the sea knight has a better band on it to. Better band, better lume so it’s worth a little more. There is going to be an 11/11 sale coming up so I would put it in my cart and wait to see if it’s discounted during the sale.

The seiko monster is just a iconic watch, but since I have the potential to damage my nicer watches at work I wear the cheaper AliExpress watches, after seeing this red dial in person I really wish seiko made a red dial monster.

@@bluecollarwatches7048 Fair enough. I have a few scratches on my Monster, kinda suits it and gives it character so I don't mind it getting beaten up a little. If it was any other watch I would be more careful but the monster looks and feels solid.

I have a hiemdallr watch also but not the monster and I really like it, most of these aliexpress watches are really awesome for the money. There are a few brands that suck but for the most part a lot of watch for dollar spent.

@@bluecollarwatches7048 I agree with you totally about AliExpress watches, .

The Tandorio I wear to work, I generally wear my cheaper watches to work.

I wear that Tandorio to work, I wouldn’t break in on purpose but I wouldn’t be AS mad if I broke it. I’ve had a few co workers comment on it, that red dial stands out.

​@@bluecollarwatches7048yes. Considering the Seiko hardlex crystal may be easily scratched. Also as a limited edition, it may be hard to replace if lost or broken. I am not crazy about the cyclops, but the dial is great. The Tandorio probably costs almost half of what Seiko would charge to replace the crystal. I had the Sea Knight orange monster. It was nice, but the orange on the dial was darker than the orange chapter ring. I sold it and got a Heimdallr, but it had so many sharp edges when turning the bezel. I think until Sunday they have black Friday markdowns. Back in the day I had the Seiko first gen orange monster . It did not hack nor hand wind. I sold it, but kind of regret it. It had the hour markers like yours, no cyclops. The Tandorio would look nice on the same engineer bracelet. Those bracelets go for 10 bucks on AliExpress. I am not a fan of the Tandorio logo, and several other Chinese brands' branding, with some exceptions like Seestern and Heimdallr, which have more subdued logos and /or typefaces. I am curious if the Tandorio can be worn when swimming. I think a bracelet would enhance the red dial and the steel tough look
