Finally, another quartz watch with a smooth running seconds hand instead of the irritating 1 second ticks of most quartz watches. This is a quartz I would actually purchase.
Which watch are you referring to ?
@@fungus70 the Sumo quartz chrono. Thank you for demonstrating the chronograph. Believe it or not, there are some videos out there that show the watch but don’t bother pushing the chrono button. I was looking for the demo because the one second jumps of the seconds hand give me a headache. I much prefer the smoother motion like that on this Sumo. My Bulova Presiciionist also has a smooth seconds hand.
@@coffeeisgood102 The seconds hand at the small dial still ticks every 1 second.
I just bought one. I bought my first seiko divers watch in 1974 when i was 21 yrs old. I bought it in Fiji when we were cruising aboard our little wooden sailboat in the Pacific and I used it as ships chronometer for celestial navigation. There was no satellite navigation then so I needed a good watch. I owned it for 15 years. It was superb in every way. Then tragedy struck when I stupidly placed it on top of the car and drove away leaving it behind on the road where some lucky person picked it up. For thirty years i regretted its loss and tried many other lesser watches, none of which came close to my beloved first seiko. A few days ago I bought this exact same prospex and I feel like I’ve come home. At age 69 I’m still actively kayaking and sailing and doing other watersports so I wanted my old Seiko back. Now I feel it’s finally happened. The green colour is superb. I’m fine with the clasp as I don’t know any better. My only slight complaint is the bezel feels a little stiff to turn. I use the bezel a lot. But that’s probably just my arthritic fingers being weaker than they uses to be. Loving this watch so far. One other thing. I’m a woman with quite slender wrists but it doesn’t look or feel too big for me. Looks great alongside my silver dolphin bracelet too.
Awesome history and enjoy your new watch! Thanks for sharing.
Wild story! Exciting to use it for for celestial navigation!!
@@onoff5604 In those days, my favourite radio programme in mid-ocean was the "co-ordinated universal time" signals. I had to know exactly how accurate my watch was in order to be most accurate with our navigation calculations. Any error at all had to be corrected before calculating our sextant sunshots. So the important thing was not so much how much it gained or lost, but how regular was that gain or loss. So if you could get no time signal check you could work out how much it would have lost since the day before, but only providing its gained/lost at a regular pace.
I think sumo looks fine on ur wrist divers don’t hav to look small Great review 👍
The more I watched your review, the more I liked the Sumo. I've had many versions over the years. To my surprise, the chronograph dial adds to it and makes it less boring.
Yes I kept this one the longest and it grows on you. Surprised chronograph works so well on the sumo!
You are right. After wearing this chrono for a while, the face of the regular Sumo looks rather plain Jane 😅
Seriously,man!!! I can't believe that!!! I was searching youtube for Sumo review, u r the best seiko reviewer , i really have to say it !! Keep going Buddy!! Don't you stop... Very beautiful watch , remind me of the iconic Daytona , unfortunately it's a quartz ..
Glad I could help!
I have two Seiko solar quartz watches. To my mind the best of both worlds - reasonable price, great accuracy, and in addition no buying new batteries.
@@bernardelliott1284 one of my friends had a solar quartz watch , and he had to change its battery after 5 years
O recently bought this watch, the black dial version, I am happy with it, long live Seiko !
Love it, i just bought one yesterday!
Hahaha love your shirt bro. I’ve almost pulled the trigger on the Sumo a few times but already have 2 MM200’s. The Sumo dials just didn’t bring anything extra to the table for me to condone the purchase of one. But I must say,, I do really like this one...
....A LOT!!! Hmmm what to do? Just as I’m trying to kick the Seiko dive watch addiction they go & bloody pull this one on me🤣 Funny, when I first started buying watches it was dress watches I really liked. I didn’t even like divers. Fast forward 3 years & now all I have is a collection of Seiko dive watches haha!
haha yea this hobby can go in cycles. Maybe soon you'll be all dress watches again!
I JUST ORDERED MINE ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!! So glad to see this review, II've been looking for every video about this watch that I can find. Love your channel big dawg.
Side note; do you have any intentions on going over your watch collection? Or maybe just talking about future purchases or pieces you aspire to buy? I'm curious as to what resides in your watch box.
Hope you enjoy it! Yes if enough people ask for it. You are the first! lol
@@EscapementWatch Really, not many ask that?
Seems like one of the first 3 things you'd wanna ask a watch enthusiast, especially one who reviews them so regularly.
*YOU READ THE MAN, START ASKING ABOUT HIS WATCH COLLECTION.*
@@EscapementWatch I'll second Julian's request. A collection overview & video on possible future purchases would be interesting.
Ok cool I will put it on the to do list!
Esse sumo é uma obra prima, com a pulseira de silicone verde adicional ele consegue ficar ainda mais bonito.
There are days when I’d pay a little extra to get a nice matte aluminum bezel insert over ceramic.
One day ceramic, sapphire, and acrylic bezels will give way to the return of aluminum bezels!
i just grabbed this watch but i got the padi edition with the "pepsi" bezel and love it
Great review. I’ve just this week bought this solar sumo chrono, blue dial and bezel and rubber strap. I’m really happy with it considering it was £270 brand new, I’d consider it a bargain. I’ve ordered a quality Milanese strap so should be a good all rounder. Your comment regarding a ceramic bezel insert is the only thing I’d change, personally. I can’t see getting a good quality one that I’d be happy with, unless you’ve some suggestions? 😉
There are new auto sumo's coming out I believe soon with updated bracelets and dials with ceramic inserts. Stay tuned!
I’m having a hard time picking up the green but loving the watch
Yea tough to see it. Needs sunlight.
Jeez! You're turning me into a Seiko fan!
haha not the intent of these videos but a happy coincidence
I really hope Seiko make Non-chrono dial Sumo Solar quartz super Titanium!!! one day! For people loves solar quartz!
Great review. I have the Black Series. I am now considering this model or the blue version. 🤔
Great Seiko reviews!
I tried on every Seiko Prospex under $2000 cad. For some reason I tried on the Sumo last. Once I did, I was actually blown away by the case shape, finish and design and then you factor in the Saphire crystal and 70hr movt and its a real powerhouse. If I wanted a chrono this new special edition would be on my list for sure. The bracelet is comfortable and looks nice but as you point out it deserves a milled clasp and a better end link design
People talk about alignment or lack of ceramic bezels and I see why but what the heck is up with the afterthough end links on soo many Seiko watches? The Sumo, new MM200, MM300 and OMG the 62 MAS its a total put off. San Martin and Steeldive do better endlinks.
I would absolutely recommend a Sumo for someone with a 7" or larger wrist, but plan on a Strapcode bracelet and perhaps a nice lumed colour matched ceramic bezel insert from day one.
Thanks for Watching and input!
Hello. What is the exact code for the alternative clasp in this video. I’m having trouble in finding it. Thanks.
sumo is kewl
I think it suits you fine
If I am understanding correctly (and from the site description) it sounds like there is only 60 minutes of chronograph timing. (Which seems maybe redundant with the 60 minute bezel timer...). The automatic seiko chronographs seem to have a 12 hour chronograph (is that correct?). And I just got a new/old Seiko Prospex World Time with a 24hour chronograph and GMT and more (but I'm not sure how well it would work for ~diving trips). A 200-300 meter diver with a 12 or 24 hour chronograph would be amazing.
You are correct
I just bought the black version.....i am thinking of getting this one also....but two watches??? I was planning on just one, any advice??? Will this limited edition watch appreciate in value over time?? I mean it is a limited Edition..right?
not always the case with limited editions with seiko as they make too many of them and its diluted the market. I'd trade the black in for this as this one, but not have 2 of the same.
@@EscapementWatch Whats another really really good Seiko to look into?? I was looking into the SPB143 or SPB145 but 1200...dang?? are they worth the money?? i got a 2k budget, let me know what other watches you would recommend. I would like them to appreciate in value or hold it at least, thanks
@@Crimson_626 appreciate in value? Rolex
hi i just got a sumo with a pepsi dial,do you know where can i buy that upgraded clasp? ty nice video
Check my other videos for link 18mm needs to be
@@EscapementWatch I am interested in the clasp featured in this video. I’ve watched your videos, but I could not find other than the “folding” one. A link would be very much appreciated
Hi, what model is the marine master reduced you are using? :)❤
this: th-cam.com/video/kLon1GWBENI/w-d-xo.html
@@EscapementWatch thank you :)
What's the point for 24h indicator?
also， a regular prospex solar chronograph is charged at 200usd, a so-called limited edition at 800usd?
Well if it was adjustable individually then it could be used as a second time zone a GMT hand but unfortunately it is not so it's just an AMPM indicator
@@EscapementWatch my first impression was an gmt hand as well. But actually not. Good for v192 got power indicator, an improvement from v175. seiko could do better in the next generation, maybe 5 years later.
4:46 I won't call +/- 15 seconds a month "ultra" accurate anymore these days. Nice review as always though !
Where did you get the Seiko hat?
an instagram account seller that no longer exists.
I've got the Gen 2 Sumo (Prospex "X"). Love it. But I don't really care for this one. In fact, I don't like anything about it; starting with the hand set. The chrono dial is a bit too plain (compared with the standard Seiko chrono face). I don't like the gilt text and hand. I don't like the new look text on the bezel. I don't like the BRG. Maybe a Hulk green.
Gen 2 Sumo is brilliant.
I own the “blue Coral” SBDC069.
Absolutely love it.
Case finish, stunning dial, nuclear lume, Topped off by a slightly domed crystal.
do you prefer this new sumo or sumo green hulk?
Hulk
@@EscapementWatch i hésitate between this two watchs. Why do you préfère the hulk. Thanks. It Will help me a lot to chosse
They could off move the date across so it's not cutting off the marker!
PL mention rate in rupees
I owned the solar quartz “ black series “ before my gen 2 Blue Coral Sumo, and it was an underwhelming watch to me.
The bezel action was inconsistent , the fake patina on the lume made it to perform very poor, the alignment was seriously off, and I could not put a strapcode bracelet on it because the case is slightly different compared to the regular Sumo...
So I flipped it, I wanted to like it but I couldn’t.
thanks for watching and owner experience input
Price on rupees pl
No idea
awful placement of the date window!
My bezel has a little bit of a wobble! Yours too? Thx
no wobble
thought its a solar
Indian rupees of this watch
This one's not for me, I've never been into diver chronograph watches & especially not quartz ones. Doesn't seem very good value eitheir at $800, I'd rather have a three hand automatic Sumo. Great video as always though, you intro music is very catchy!
I forgot to mention it does come with a green seiko strap. Thanks for watching!
Too expensive for what it is. Aluminum bezel for 800 dollars?? 🤦🏻♂️. Better buy a proxima mm300 instead of this crap. Nice review though 👍🏻
This is a pass for me. That cut-off 4 o'clock marker drives me nuts.
Fair enough!
