Thanks again to Gary From Birmingham! Another wee nugget this one. I mean, it is still a $100 Seiko so that comes with a whole bunch of inherent limitations, but if you like the Daytona, but it is just a pip dream, then this wee giuy might scratch the itch for a while anyway. Cheers, Jody

Very very nice. A step back when Seiko was interested in the common man looking for a cheap, functional and beautiful watch, with a hideous bracelet.

@holcombballer23 Месяц назад

Yeahhh. I put a leather strap on it ! Such a great piece with leather 👍

@AlexanderB. Год назад

Well, in this case the Rolex Daytona reference is a bit far fetched, and I'm not talking quality or specs here.. Whether you look at the subdial layout, the date, the chrono pushers, the bezel design or the bracelet design...everything very different from the Rolex!

@bensayles1541 Год назад

That Seiko looks as much like a Daytona, about as much as I look like George Clooney. 😂

@chrispekel5709 Год назад

Maybe if you have rubber nipples you'll pull the look off

@esdisaysaloha Год назад

For around the same price last year I nabbed the SBTR027, another Seiko JDM chronograph but with a diameter closer to 40mm, a mecha-quartz movement, and a 3-6-9 layout. Gorgeous little thing.

@dcamnc1 Год назад

Very nice. I have a SBTR021 in this line. Excellent inexpensive chrono.

@TheGrenadier97 Год назад

I don't see any Rolex-like characteristic to judge it as an alternative to the hyped watch. Just a very cool and interesting everyday chronograph with very adequate dimensions.

@BlindProphet413 Год назад

This movement was in the Mini Flightmaster, which I cam very, VERY close to buying on a number of occasions. I'm glad they're still using the movement, so if one gets into just the right aesthetic package for my tastes, it'll be a definite purchase for me.

I really like this chrono module. 12 hrs and 1/20 second resolution just make it "real" in my book. I don't understand chronograph modules that time in 1 minute increments for 30 minutes for example. I can do that with a dive time bezel. That being said, I'm a sucker for a chronograph and have a dozen or so in my collection. Don't think I'll be adding this but it has its charms.

@arlin7760 Год назад

I feel like it looks much more like a 90s-era Omega speedy reduced (ST175.0043) than a Daytona, actually. I have the black version of the Seiko very similar to this: SND367PC, and it's a great little watch.

@garethsigrist8714 Год назад

It’s totally irrational and I have no practical use for it but for whatever reason I absolutely love analog chronographs with 20th or 10th of a second sub dials 😂 Therefore I now need this Seiko in my collection. Reminds me a bit of the pilot chronographs Seiko supplied to the RAF back in the day too which is another win in my book too. Great stuff as always Jody!

@WATCHingJames Год назад

Looks great in that colour. Great to see another Seiko. Thanks Jody

@lancetews1173 Год назад

Great to see a chronograph with an interesting colour dial rather than black or white and a more revered Seiko name for the price of a Pulsar or Lorus (with the same movement no doubt) thanks Jody for bringing it to our attention via Gary. Would look good next to my Pagani Daytona homage, which I snapped up at my local Cash Converters for a measly $30 Aussie pesos.

@samiulkabir1151 Год назад

Gary and Mr. X always coming in clutch. Thank you guys and of course Jody for introducing us to so many new watches.

@LymanPhillips Год назад

I swear, I bought a couple of Seikos like this back in the late 80s or early 90s. Seiko quartz chronos with 6-9-12 subregisters. This was in the USA. I think it was a different movement because it didn't have the sub second registers and it had an alarm, but it looks mostly the same. It was all I could afford back then with my entry level job salary. Lasted forever. I eventually gave it to one of my son's buddies so I must have had it for over 30 years and it was still working.

@tablameister Год назад

Thanks for the review. The Seiko SBTR "Spirit" line is a more direct homage to Rolex, particularly the SBTR021. They have some very unique colors - I have the SBTR027 with a light blue dial and it looks great. Slightly heavier and chunkier than I am used to but I get used to it fairly quickly. I am going to pick up one of the SBTQ models. I think we all started with a "6 watch case with a strict one in one out policy"!

@201950201950 Год назад

Not a bad watch for $100 especially coming from Seiko. My money would be on the Invicta speedway chronograph. It looks a lot more like a Daytona but with some very interesting corks. It does cost more typically $179. It comes in a lot of very interesting colors.

@johnbuckmaster569 Год назад

You nailed it with your end statement… “A sweet little watch if you’re not into the AliExpress lookalikes”… I have a bunch of AliExpress watches Peppered in to my collection. But I do love my inexpensive ‘big brand watches’… And it’s fun to say “ I know it’s not a Rolex or an Omega, but it’s still a cool watch!”

It is rare to see a big brand selling burgundy/maroon dial watches. I just got this watch this month that way I have a little something that has my college color. For me, the size is perfect, and since my eyes are still okay, the legibility is not a problem at all. Thank you for the video, Jody!

@fyioska Год назад

@beanboy89 Год назад

Jody, take a look at the Seiko Essentials series. They have a super affordable titanium quartz with a sapphire crystal. Just picked one up, and it's pretty nice.

@spicydragon3881 Год назад

This is a very nice, still inexpensive option from a real name brand. Another great option from Seiko, in my opinion and looking even more like a Daytona at the approx. $130 price point is the Seiko SBTR 011, 017, 023 series. Comes in multiple color options, has a more Daytona-ish dial layout, 100m water resistance and tits SOLAR, so you don't ever have to worry about batteries. As it is for Seiko it traditionally it does not have the greatest bracelet, but thats easy to remedy.

@fillerbunny Год назад

SBTR001-029 aren't Solar, they have 8T63 and 8T67 meca-quartz movements (aka VK63/67). Great watches though and well worth €130, even the bracelet is usable.

@spicydragon3881 Год назад

@@fillerbunny I saw one listed incorrectly as, 'Solar' and seeing the dark subdials I made an incorrect statement. It was a mistake on my part following the listing and not looking further.. You are correct. Thank you for the correction. I agree, even not being solar I think it is the better option, better build quality and more of that daytona-ish style for the money. Thanks again.

@lulul Год назад

it resembles the Daytona in the sense that it's a chronograph and a watch..

Hi Jody, I cannot believe you have just reviewed this watch as I have been looking at these over the last few days as well as the Seiko SND range 👍.

You should look into the Seiko SNDD95P2. Same movement, chronograph, 100m WR, perfectly aligning 120 click bezel, dive style hands, rubber strap. No scredoen crown or pushers, although the pushers look like some.

@garysalisbury8949 Год назад

Thats actually very nice, and a perfect size- so many chronographs are unwearably large. Nice find.

@legumbro Год назад

Jody, you should really take a look at the SEIKO SND253 (or its blue dial version, the SND255). It's a flightmaster and it has the same movement than this one, but it's 41mm and it comes with a better bracelet. And the most important thing: it is beautiful and it wears amazing. There are still some out there for really interesting prices.

Some years ago I bought myself another seiko chrono for about the same price and similiar looks except the bezel - SNDC89P2.

That’s a great looking watch! A perfect size too. And I really like the burgundy dial as well. A typically awful budget Seiko bracelet mind. But that’s easily changeable. Overall, great value for money.

@jocularsplash9770 Год назад

I just got a Seiko Spirit SBTR027 delivered from Sakura yesterday and I can't recommend it enough. Sure, the sapphire and the bracelet on the speedtimer are nice upgrades, but do they justify a 500$ price difference? The spirit JDM line from Seiko reminds me of what Seiko was a few years ago: you get a crappy bracelet and hardlex, but otherwise really cool watches with great designs and amazing dials for 100-200$. These things are awesome.

@Tom_H327 Год назад

I've have a few chronos and I can say with absolute certainty, I've used the stop watch function for running and nothing else. I've never calculated the speed of a racecar, or even my own car.

As one who has studied the functionality of chronograph movements in general, I can say that the ingenious architecture of the 7-T-92 movement is unmatched by any mechanical, Meca-Quartz, or any other quartz movements available out there. It amazes me that Seiko can deliver such a quality movement in a chronograph watch that costs only 100 bucks. This watch is by far more capable of the Daytona as far as functionality goes, the wonder of quartz movements. I love quartz and digital movements!. I love the philosophy that stands behind. Casio. These movements are cheap to mass-produce; they are reliable; they are affordable.

I have a lot of Seiko watches and Seiko 5s, but personally I found this and all of the >$150 Seiko chronographs to be pretty underwhelming. The problem with the standard black version I had is the silver print on the dial has much lower visibility at different angles than plain white. From a 2nd person viewers’ perspective and a distance of about 3-5 feet the subdials aren’t very visible and sometimes it doesn’t even look like you’re wearing a chronograph. Haven’t seen the Spirit chronograph line but those look much more promising
