First off the movement out of the box is extremely accurate for this price point. Mine has been on my wrist now for 7 days straight and it’s is moving only 25 seconds slow. Pretty incredible considering the 4r36 movement inside is rated at -35/+45 seconds a day. Much better than I had expected. I had the srp777 (the black version) 4 years ago and loved it, a watch I always regretted letting go. This time around I went for the Pepsi padi version the srpe99. This is a perfect go anywhere sport watch. From the beach with the sd crown and 200m water resistant or throw on a leather strap and head out to dinner. For sure on the sportier side maybe not the best choice for a black tie event but perfect summer watch, vacation watch, fun watch. The finishing on the case is spot on, the lume is INCREDIBLE. Seiko lume wow. You just can’t beat the vintage case design paired with the modern movement. There is something about the cool factor of Seiko you just can’t put into words. If this is your first “real watch” purchase or you are a seasoned collector you can’t go wrong. This is sit proudly in your collection by itself, next to a timex quartz, or next to your Rolex sub. I got a micro brand field Watch for Christmas and I love it, but I find the Seiko just won’t leave my wrist. It’s watch that’s truly fun to wear. Case size: I prefer my divers as small as 38mm or a large as 42mm generally. My field and dress watches I’ll even go smaller. My Hamilton khaki 38mm gets a lot of wrist time as well a great all around watch, so I do like smaller watches. But this one at 45 wears MUCH smaller. If you prefer smaller watches don’t let the 45mm case size detour you. The vintage styling and the turtle case shape are beautiful, with the shorter lug to lug it wears smaller. Trust me coming from a guy who enjoys small watches this one at 45 is perfect. If they offered this In a 42 or 40 I would still Prefer this case design at 45. Bracelet- honestly watch more can you ask for. It looks nice it wears nice and at this price point more attention should and did go into the case design of the watch than the bracelet. Yes a told sub or there are some micro brands out there that will come with nicer bracelets. But at this price point I don’t think you can get a better overall package. Sure you could find a watch out there under $500 with a nicer bracelet but you just can’t buy the Seiko charm. The bracelet works and wears well and I will not be upgrading the bracelet. But if you’re really looking for a next level bracelet…uncle Seiko or strap code has some options. I’m going to buy a leather strap for it and the Seiko rubber dive strap. There are other “nicer” straps offered but my srp777 came standard with the rubber and it was one of my most favorite rubber straps in my collection. The lume is amazing, the crown and thick and easy to operate. The applied indices, the bezel actions is great and they line up. What more can I say….sure you could fine nicer individual components…..a watch with a nicer bracelet or maybe one with a sapphire crystal at this price. But the larger picture under 500 you just can’t buy a better watch. This one has it all.
