SEIKOAutomatic Watch for Men - Prospex Automatic Diver - Rotating Bezel, 200m Water-Resistant

This is a beautiful watch, perfect for divers or anyone who appreciates a rugged, reliable timepiece. At first, I thought it would be larger based on the pictures, but once I had it in hand, the size felt just right—comfortably balanced depending on your wrist.The accuracy has been impressive. I’ve had it in a winder box for a week now, and it’s kept perfect time. As expected from Seiko, this watch exemplifies quality. It’s one of the few brands that manufactures everything in-house, which speaks volumes about its reliability and craftsmanship—especially at this price point.The watch feels solid and well-built, and the rubber strap is both comfortable and durable. The green dial adds a distinctive touch that really sets it apart. Overall, an excellent value for a timepiece that delivers both style and performance.

My beautiful wife was kind enough to purchase this as a gift and I am super thankful. This watch is amazing, the dial has an awesome blue texture with very subtle images of manta rays on the lower portion of the face. The face is clear and crisp and the day/date window is an added bonus. The watch hands and indices are bright and nicely polished with a very bright lume. Additionally, the watch bezel feels tight and stays where it has been rotated.The band is a nice blue silicone and feels great on the wrist, it was not stiff out of the box like some rubber/silicone bands can be. Although the watch is a bit on the heavy side, this is something I prefer. The automatic movement seems to last about a day and half when not being worn, but is easy enough to rewind with the screw down crown.Overall I am thrilled with this watch.Would I recommend this watch and buy again? Yes.

Legit time peice. I was in the market for my first automatic everyday watch. After doing some digging I settled on this one. I know hit and miss QC of Seiko is a thing but the one I have is pretty flawless. No dust under the sapphire, face is clean, hands are sharp and defined well, and the lume is perfect. I wear this watch almost daily. I like the candy bar cyclops. It's centered well and magnifies to my liking. The stock silicone strap is very nice and comfortable. Brought this watch out during summer camping, swimming, even kayaking and to hung in there and impressed me tons over my orient Kamasu. The day and date on my Kamasu was not maintaining accuracy. I could not get the day and date to sync at all so I sold it and got this peice instead and its keeping better date and time. Everything is synced up and accurate. Mine is running about +2 sec a day and that's perfectly fine with me. Watch is continuing to look great and rugged. Looking at more Prospex models and explore more Seiko options.

The "king turtle" is a known entity at this point---upgrading the bezel to cermamic and the crystal to sapphire from the original turtle. I've never owned the "basic" turtle, but I've heard that the silicon strap on this watch is also an upgrade. I really like the strap, but also wear it on a nylon ("nato"-style) strap and an Uncle Seiko beads of rice bracelet with fitted endlinks (I highly recommend this last, but it is a *pain* to put on). I really like the green waffle-dial pattern and the rectangle cyclops. People run hot or cold about the cyclops magnifier, but it provides good magnification (unlike some) and helps disguise the fact that there is absolutely no attention given to the date window at all, it's just a hole in the dial---which I think might be a bit of an eyesore without the cyclops.If you want to debate about the best seiko models, rising prices, etc. then you can find plenty of company on various watch forums. However, for me, this is the best automatic seiko diver in its price tier. Moving a step higher, you get the 62mas reissues, with the upgraded 6rxx movement. Short of those (which will run you around 900-1k from an authorized dealer, and around 700 if you want to import them from the Middle East on ebay) this is it. Iconic design (the famous "willard" model was actually an earlier version of this case design), versatile, and good features for the money.People complain about the accuracy of seiko's automatic movements, especially the 4r series, but I haven't had any trouble. Seiko often provides very conservative stated tolerances with the watch usually overperforming to a significant degree.

Great watch - keeps good time

For most people who have followed Seiko closely know that Seiko is famous for its dive watch, a long history going back to 1960s. Two main branches of Seiko dive watch are Turtle and Tuna, the latter being more geared toward professional saturation divers than for casual water sports wear. The cushion shape of Turtle was outrageous when it first came out in the 1970s, but gradually it was accepted. By now it has become a Seiko classic. This new version of Turtle (called King Turtle) has all the traits of previous issues, with a few very nice upgrades: 1) Sapphire crystal, 2) ceramic bezel insert, and 3) a new bezel with better rotation feel. Some people don't like the added day/date magnifier glass, but I like it. It gives the watch an additional "dimensions" when viewed from different angles, not to mention the improved readability.Seiko issued a few different models for King Turtle this year. I personally like this green waffle version the best. But I know this is a matter of personal taste. I happen to like military green for a sports watch, probably because I used to wear a cheap military green Seiko 5 for ten years when I was very young (speaking of that old Seiko 5, it still ticks!).The only reason I take out one star is the slight misalignment of the bezel. It's so slight that one may not notice it if not looking very carefully. I heard Seiko tend to have this bezel misalignment problem, but interestingly, none of my previous Seikos (all cheaper than this one) had this problem. Now, I encountered it when buying a more expensive Seiko. Nevertheless, it's not a problem that really bothers me very much.
