I am a big fan of the Seiko King Turtle, will I like the King Samurai as much? These are so good, I see very little reason to buy the base model any more. Cheers, Jody

I love mine but I’ve got an 8 inch wrist so it’s perfect for me. The other thing I love is it’s a unique diver in a world where most look like a handful of original designs. You’re not going to mistake the Samurai for anything else.

@johnsrabe 2 года назад

I’m 7-1/4 and I think that’s just the notch up from Jody’s size that makes it work. And yeah the look is unmistakable and unique … and handsome in that black&black color scheme. (And I love my Save the Oceans Samurai from 3-4 years ago.)

@shawnz241 Год назад

Very true! 220mm wrist and this fits perfect out of the box.

Opened my Steeldive Willard Christmas morning. Beauty. Running like a top. Perfect alignment. Gorgeous sapphire crystal. Perfect finishing. Minus 4 on first 24 hours. Clasp is shite. Bit of a hair nipper and not quite enough micro. But come on! ~$100 CDN. It has and will get some wrist time. Jody looking forward to your channel in 2022. Merci!

@raymondrichardson6061 2 года назад

Samurai for me. Looks better, and less likely to get stolen, than a Submariner. I think it’s more handsome too. Shame they are so flipping expensive in the UK.

@Alex-zr4yl 2 года назад

Fully understand the stealing anxiety. However, not sure how you can possibly claim it looks better than a Sub. It’s just a different league ☺️

@HardePeople 2 года назад

@@Alex-zr4yl looks are subjective as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, however, I must agree that most people will definitely find the Sub more attractive. Raymond might just not be one of those people, fair enough

@victorutomo7244 2 года назад

The standard Samurai indeed looks better than the Sub. However, this one, not so much. Hate cyclops on the Sub. Hate cyclops on this 'King' Samurai.

Last Christmas I got an Islander isl-28 (original sunburst silver “dawn grey”) & it’s been my main watch since. Samurai case, great band, grey/orange sapphire bezel insert. I’ve since swapped the band for a strapcode YM 2-tone & the bezel insert for a YM-like steel. But the samurai cases are great & really wear well on me (7 1/2” wrist)

@RC60669 2 года назад

Great review - as mentioned no identity loss here with nice dial detail and schmick touches. Silicon strap works great with a Samurai. Thanking you 🙏

@mahabir_navin 2 года назад

I'm always amazed by the timegrapher numbers you get from the Seiko movements. I'll just say my experience has not been like that....Anyway, I've got two Samurai's and I think the sure way to minimize the feeling of being so large is to get one in a dark color, and to not put it on a bracelet. Because of the angles, the dark colors really slim down visually. I will say that I am one of those who don't mind the aluminum bezel insert because of the lack of bling and the ability to play with the texture (as Seiko has done on other versions) but if that's what it takes to get sapphire, so be it. Hardlex really starts looking dull when you have quite a few other watches with coated sapphire.

@fakenewsisthenews3542 Год назад

Me too. Must have sapphire. I ended up selling all my microbrands. I loved them, they were great watches. At the end of the day, the watch "experts" just got to me. Selling and trading and posting things like "no microbrands please". I started buying these Seiko Kings, Samurai and Turtles. Even non King because it's easy and cheap to mod to a new sapphire crystal. So, now I have a great diver, with specs, with name recognition and history. Happy now. :). Plus, Seiko does have beautiful dials with applied indices.

Looks excellent on your wrist Jodie, doesn’t look too big at all.

@ozludo 2 года назад

A big improvement - but I'd love to see some other dials. A orange King Sammy would be outstanding with the waffle dial, and both the Sammy and the Turtle Save the Ocean models could stand the upgrade too. Those dials were lovely. Happy Christmas to all.

@brianmsahin 2 года назад

Orange!! That would be nice....and Yellow, my new favourite dial colour. Loved it so much got a yellow dial Steeldive SD1975 tuna. Hate to say, but it might be even a bit better than my original black one. 🙃

Its my first Samurai and I am not disappointed (and zero QC issues, hooray!). I was taken by it in pictures and its even better in hand and on wrist, I just love looking at it. I have a 7.25" wrist and it is big, but not too big. Another OUTSTANDING review from a great man. Wish you and yours a Happy Holiday and coming New Year. Keep up the good work mate !

@beforethenever97 2 года назад

Awesome. I prefer the Manta Ray version, it’s far more impressive to look at. I have the ‘Great White Shark’ special edition Samurai. It has some really nice unique features which I love compared to other editions, but I do miss the absence of the sapphire. I’ve got mine on the hexad bracelet provided by Strapcode, it’s a match made in heaven I’d recommend for any Samurai!

@AngelMartinez-ey3hu 2 года назад

I would recommend picking up a the Islander Watch version from Marc at Long Island Watch. I bought a new samurai from Amazon about a year ago and it came with an ungodly misaligned chapter ring. Returned it and bought the ISL-62, full lume great wave dial, sapphire crystal, screwed bracelet, milled clasp and felt the same on wrist. The only downside is the amount of micro adjust but it's still leagues better than the seiko.

@archibaldstokes 2 года назад

Great review as usual from Jody! I'm looking forward for a ‘Samurai Shu-Iro’ European Exclusive SRPH61K1 which is coming out in January'22.

@adventurepromo 2 года назад

I think the orange samurai's matte black index frames and hands help them to look a little more tidy. The polished and brushed surfaces in this and other models kind of add on to the lume to make the indices and hands look a little oversized. I'm biased towards my orange sami for sure, but it says something that I'm just not much tempted by any other models. The exception has been the Save The Ocean Dark variant - that dark blue/green is just cool.

@peterbdavies 2 года назад

I have a Samurai Save the Ocean. It is one of my favourites. I have never been drawn to the turtles but everyone seems to praise them. Maybe I should try one out.

@herkamer98 2 года назад

Thanks Jodi for yet another crackin' review!! NO ONE is as efficient and articulate as you in this business. I owned the "Limited Edition" deep blue Samurai and the Orange dial Samurai, but they were just to chunky and heavy, so I sold one and returned the other. This one you're wearing Jodi would go straight back for another with that horribly misaligned chapter ring. Just awful. And the Turtle? No thanks - cushion cases just look bloated and ugly, in my not-so-humble opinion. I felt you were pretty easy-going about the misalignment - I suppose you've vented your anger enough times that it just isn't worth it anymore, but personally I've sworn off all Seiko products, except for the Seiko Premier Kinetic Drive, with Moonphase, model SRX015P1. I just opened it up as my Christmas gift to myself, and I'm smitten. Have a fantastic New Year, sir.

@IceDree 2 года назад

Love the Samurai case, but not too keen on the tag, especially given the age old question of Seiko's signature alignments. I've been thinking about going the Islander way instead. Although a smidge smaller, it have the same specs, better alignment, better bracelet/clasp & compatible with most of the SKX mods, plus Marc is good people. As for picking between the Samurai & Turtle, I prefer the Samurai.

I'd love a 39/40mm version of that with a blue dial. Trouble is, you won't get one in the UK for anything like the prices you mentioned.

@wallytangofoxtrot4721 2 года назад

Would be cool to have the minute and hour hands modelled on the Katana and Tanto sword shapes, respectively. Could be slimmed down too. Tipping the scales more at a Sumo rather than a Samurai at that weight.

Seriously wish Aussie retailers had the King Samurai Padi jade colour watches in stock. Been burned on alignment on a previous Sammy & can't quite pull the trigger on an unseen one. Great looking watch though with the specs (movement excepted, but they kinda have to use in-house) we reasonably expect nowadays on a watch like this. I may yet take that gamble...

@ATOMSKI_MRAV Год назад

I just got one lightly used for $260. Not bad at all. Replacing the bracelet with a hexad one from long Island and it's all done. No need to do anything else to it except perhaps a fully lumed bezel insert. We'll see though.

Big fan of the Samurai, had the STO version briefly and was very impressed though it did have some QC problems, love the dial on this one but it looks like it has the same issues I had with indices that didn't properly align. Or could it be a perspective thing? Anyways glad they've beefed it up, but still needs a better clasp imo. Hope you had a great christmas Jody.

@mcclarinscott 2 года назад

A 5 ring Zulu will drop some weight of the metal band. tempted to do a sapphire swap on my Samurai, already added a full lume Ceramic bezel...

@MessagingMatters 2 года назад

Definitely a worthwhile watch with nice specs. However, I am very satisfied with my regular Samurais (and Turtles) and feel no need to upgrade to the King. Moreover, my eyesight is fine and I don't need or like the cyclops. That goes double for the hideous candy bar cyclops on the King Turtle. Likewise, I prefer the aluminum bezel insert to the ceramic, as I think the former is more tool-ey and more appealing. Finally, while hardlex instead of sapphire isn't ideal, I have never cracked or even scratched mine and am perfectly happy with them, especially at the lower price. YMMV.

Thanks for revisiting the Samurai, Jody. I love my SRPB51 with standard black dial and Aluminium bezel but 3 years on I've bought other Seikos and no more Sams. It's just a little big and my wrist is 7.25. With the King, I'd have to remove the carbuncle on the crystal. I really don't get them. You can read the date perfectly well without.

That one looks like it's the hour markers that are off as the misalignment with the chapter ring doesn't look consistent. Or is that just the perspective? In any case, it's a shame because I love mine exactly because it does feel solid and purposeful.

I have two earlier versions, including the Blue Lagoon. Love the distinctive angular case. But it must be asked, why do the sapphire, dial, and ceramic upgrades and refuse to put a milled clasp on it? It boggles the mind. So much so that you had to sheepishly avoid showing the monstrosity. I therefore deem this to be the Prince Samurai. 😁

Agreed about the sapphire upgrade but who wanted all the cyclops date magnifiers... The king turtles is by far worse with the candy bar. Is this a Seiko strategy to keep the originals desirable since they look better?

@RickDeckardMemories 2 года назад

Whatever you say about this bracelet clasp, the transition between the clasp and the bracelet (on both ends) is almost seamless. With milled clasps there is unfortunately a couple of millimeters "step"... and very often an uncomfortably sharp step 😖 Just the other day I was smoothing the clasp edges on my Zelos Swardfish TI with a fine metal file and sandpaper. And mumbling some bad words under my breath while doing it 🤷🏿‍♀️
