I had the 1983 or 1984 model for 20 years and loved it. I lost the watch and have been missing it since 2004. I considered buying a used one, but didn’t really want an old watch. Then this came and I’m happy again. Love it :)
@@FrederiksbergFestspil hey Freddy thanks and welcome to the channel 😎👍 yup they nailed the colours on these and I think they might release a closer replica soon 😜
Attractive looking watch! Love the colours, build quality & the brand. Not to sure about the bracelet though. Stainless steel looks robust & nicely polished. Definitely an all day wearer & also most probably for a night out as well. £600 sounds a lot for this watch but money very well spent once it’s on your wrist! 👍🏻
You are correct. A lot of people are complaining it's not a real Pogue but nowhere in Seiko's marketing will you find them claiming that it is. I blame TH-cam creators for creating this misunderstanding. They've just released a famous dial colour. Whilst I was in my local dealer buying mine, the Seiko rep was there and he told me this watch has been a massive hit worldwide. We all know that Seiko do great dials but this is on another level. I find it hard to take my eyes off it. PS I suggested to him that Seiko should release a proper Pogue reissue like they did with the 5 sports 55th anniversary. It doesn't have to be automatic, because the original didn't have running seconds, and the sweeping chronograph hand could be taken care of with a meca quartz. Hopefully he'll mention it back at the office 😎
@@AndySmith4501 hey Andy thanks bud and welcome to the channel 👍😎 yup agreed on all counts although i reckon if they did release a pogue reinterpretation it'd cost 1500... 😅
Just bought one And it's really worth the money For those who want to feel different Ssc947 is the perfect choice Trust me you will never disappointed because this model is the most attractive to compare with other colours Maybe it looks weird in the picture but you will very be impress when you look right in front of your own eyes
That dial is superb! I think this is Pogue inspired but not a Pogue as such. That being said its a gorgeous watch and seems like a solid piece! Thanks for sharing man!
I just happing to be shopping around for a mechanical chronograph, don’t have one in my collection. Boy were the good mechanical Chronographs pricey. So I narrowed it down to Bulova Pilot Watch and Seiko new Chronograph with the “Pogue” colors. I really like the colors on the dial for the new Solar chronograph, so I was able to get one from Japan. Cheaper than if I bought it in the USA. I agree if this was a true “Pogue” watch it would be a mechanical version with day and date on the dial.
I have one - a silly watch but fun. Agree on the date window. Why do watch reviewers mention the fact that the crown is unsigned? What difference does that make? I don't even look at a crown on a watch - I have some chinese watches with signed crowns - it doesn't make them worth more. Anyway, solar power and sapphire crystal for £540 was pretty good as far as I'm concerned.
@@garyshepherd9226 hey Gary thanks bud, how does the golden colour grab you? I liked signed crowns and many modders add them to seiko mods, some just look good but yes they don't any intrinsic value just fun factor I guess 😎👍
Funny you should mention the date window, i have a Citizen Avion and didn't realise it actually had a date until i had owned it for 6 months, Great review, colour scheme not for me but love the speedy ❤
Got mine a few days ago, I like it mostly. But the two micro adjusts are naff, they're far too close together. I think you missed the fact that it does does split times too (apols if I missed it in your vid) but if you press the bottom pusher while the chrono is active you get split times.
cheers Simon yes you're right I did miss that on the split timer and the micro adjusts, thanks for the heads up, think i was a bit miffed the bracelet on this one was better than the one on my willard..!!
Its a gorgeous watch. The colours and detail are fantastic and the lume keeps on all night until morning. The amount of adjustment on the clasp is ridiculous, coupled with the fact there is no half link. I think this is something Seiko need to remedy on the Speedtimer range. Other than that, this is the best looking watch on the market right now. Love the powder blue one as well.
@@mikewilliams68 cheers Mike and welcome to the channel 😎👍 I'm going to post up a review of the 100th speedtimer this weekend and I think it's actually better but looking forward to hearing other people's views also 😎👍
@@thetimebombardier agreed there's a lot of things that I feel differently once it's in my hand I mean for example this one time this girl look like she had a perfect butt but when I grabbed it you can tell that butt was stuffed so said sir mix allot
@@davidcrandall4958 my plan is to get a lorus Pogue with a Pepsi bezel and mod it with a gold dial if I can find one. It's larger at 43mm but it's the only Pogue case we have.

Been looking at the panda version, waiting for prices to drop and then Seiko release this version. What a dilemma! Which to go for? I do wish Seiko would sort their bracelets out though, they are a bit jingly for me, that said I do love Seiko’s.

There's something speacial about any alledged pogue combo its the way it is hallmark of a makers successful touch VBW.
yup these colours are brave but work so well!!
Agreed, the date window is a mistake.
cheers Gumby and yes so many brands do the same ;)
it's not a new pogue, but we all know those are the pogue colours.
yup they sort of borrowed them from themselves LOL

cheers dude and yeah this one is a little golden marmite but it surprised me as to how good it actually looks :)
Red ,(white), blue and orange...
Excellent!
I have the 38 and just bought this as well. Got it for just under£500.
@@mintywebb bargain 😅🙏
Same colour as Shane McGowans teeth. He was the real Pogue.
yikes what a mental image LOL
It's a Speedtimer trying to disguise itself as a Pogue but pretty nice nevertheless....
cheers dude yup totally agree!!
Bought one today.
@@98avro98 happy with it? And love your nickname 😅 both camels and sopwiths are undervalued 😅😎
I'd be into it if it had a real Pogue case. Otherwise meh not that special to me.
@@ColinLack cheers Colin 😎👍
Screw down crown?
@@DavidStrong-n5h nope sorry my mistake, thought it was but tis a push only 👍
A proper rerelease of the Pogue would cost $1500+ by modern Seiko standards, and would have a mediocre movement... and we all know it.
yup and they'd be four versions all increasing in price hahaha - we still love seikos right?
Does not glow in the dark.
