Way to go Seiko, after I lost my original "Arnie" jet skiing in the late eighties, I've been waiting for the return ever since. The best scuba watch I had ever owned and I owned a few, and yes, 100's of dives in the keys and Miami throughout the 80's.
That Arnie is so cool!! BUT I really don't need another diver style watch, so I'll pass. I don't need it.... I don't need it.... I don't need it.... I don't need it.... Dang! I want it...
Plus the films that he did. & the film he wore his Seiko watch 1. Commando 2. Raw Deal 3. Predator 4 The Running Man plus he wore a G-Shock II in the film after his character fakes his death on live TV. 5. Twins
I have an original that I bought in the Mid 80's as I started SUCBA sport diving. Still works fine, just new batteries, I may just need to get the new one, being solar would be great!
I'm pretty pleased with the size for what it is. I own a pre-Arnie (H556-5029) that I got new back in around 1983 and it's a bit too dainty for my taste now so looks like I'll be getting one of these new ones in a few months most likely.
Hey; Thanks Rob. I'd been waiting for the release of this watch and here you have it in the flesh. I saw the discount from Mimo and placed my order. Great deal for a watch that just came out!!! Thanks again to you and to Mimo. By the way Mimo's has a really good deal (discount) on a couple Hamilton's that I like too.
That's awesome that the Analogue synchs with the Digital!! The original H558 doesn't do that. I've been wearing my H558 daily for 30 years, but I think I'm getting one of these!!
Nice watch, my only Seiko is a 46 mm solar 100 m of water resistance but it doesn't have a screw-in crown I've had it for about 6 years now and it's still running strong with the original battery.
Finally, a combination of analog diver and digital watch. I can use the bezel and stopwatch for everything. This might make me put my gwb5600 on shelf.
Rob is the TUNA CAN surround made from plastic or a stronger material? I thought the point was to protect the watch, but as know I am know Seiko Master...but have been considering buying a Seiko Tuna as I love the look of them, just been deciding which model. Just bought two Seiko Monsters, so I have finally joined the current vintage of Seiko models, so I am now part of the club, as opposed to only having vintage pieces from the 70's.
Can I aslo ask, how loud is the alarm on this watch. The reason why i ask is that these days the alarms on watches are useless, and that includes the casio. I used to have a casio dw2000 which would wake me from another room, todays casios dont even wake me even if its sitting on the bedside draws next to me.
Super cool. I'm sure it will be very hot and sell out quickly in a lot of places. Thanks for the first you look at this new Seiko. I am a little surprised that I can do as much as you can being a solar powered watch. But, I'm certainly not objecting to that.
Rob, it looks like it had a plastic stroud or tuna can...as you know I am no Seiko expert but about to buy one as I love the look...but isnt the point of the tuna can to protect the surround of your watch?
Bought the black and stainless steel version and I’m very happy with it. Got the feeling the arnie watch doesn’t do a lot for you rob? Anyway great vid as always.
Hey Rob,Would i think it would be right up your alley if you did a review on the Citizen Eco Drive Titanium Blue Orca-BN0016-55L.It reminds me of the second generation SEIKO monster but a Citizen
@R A, good to know. Frankly, I am not a fan of Arnold's films. Anyway, we have digressed from the point that the watch is just not my style. Too big and ugly for my taste. If that is your style, kudos to you.
@R A, let me ask you a question because you come across as open- minded. I served in the Marine Corps. Why is it when fan boys spout their patriotism, they buy watches from war movies, not the actual watches that were popular with the troops at the time?
@R A Perhaps you should contact Google. They list Arnold's wrist size as 7.5. My wrist is the same size and I think the watch is too big and thick. "Can" size))))
Have had mine a few months, non Padi, didn't want one. Blsck with white lettering snd markers. Good phone, love wearing it. I did get the JDM version, they're all made in China, should have went with Marc at Long Island, of which he was sold out at the time. Only thing I think missing and really should have been included would have been the capability of use of the Atomic Clock. Most feature laden quartz watches of this type include it. Not a deal breaker but would have been a nice touch.
Hey Rob, with your contacts can you find out weather seiko will ever re-issue the silver wave solar watches of the 70s ??? VINTAGE SEIKO LCD A258-5000 A2 in particular, im dying to get this one.
A few comments: 1. Really interesting that there is no obvious solar cell showing on the watch face?! I wonder where it is housed... 2. I really dig the fact the analog hands don't impede visibility of the digital display - that is one of the only gripes of my Mudmaster 3. Will be interested to know if it has a multi time zone option akin to my beloved G-Shock square 4. Looks great on your wrist, very appropriate sizing. Thanks for the video brother!
Okay I’m desperate, I purchased the snj027 arnie from a dealer on Amazon. As soon as the sunlight hit the watch it completely factory resets, it happened every time I was in the sun, returned it and got the same watch, now the same thing!! Has anyone had this issue?? And if so what did yall do to fix it or get one that doesn’t glitch?
I hope these come down a little bit on price in time for the holidays, probably going to replace my SNE498 with one of these. (would not have bought the SNE498 had I known this was coming).
Why doesn't any call the casio analog/digital an arnie? He wore on in kindergarten cop.... anyway great review, dont think I'll be waiting in a line for it.
Alright i just ordered mine, in standard black and white. Thanks for pushing this to the front of the line much appreciated. Wish it was not made in china but what can you do.
in my eyes, the hour hand is not align properly. looks a little bit forward even the minutes hand still not reach 12 o'clock position (thumbnail picture)
EyKin Huang There are instructions in the user manual for aligning the hour and minute hands. Unfortunately, I have one with a misaligned seconds hand and that cannot be corrected. Par for the course with Seiko, I guess.
Just too big for both your wrist and mine. I guess we'd have to be as big as Arnold to wear such a beast))) While I was on active duty in the Marine Corps, my Marathon got the job done. Semper Fi
The only thing good to come from a lifetime of living with popeye like arms and 8.25” wrists. Finally a watch made for the guys who always get asked when there’s a heavy object to lift.

Love how the hands do not block the digital display. Wish other combos had this layout. Great looking watch
Hey Seiko Arnie, remember when I said I would buy you last?
I Lied!
This one will help you get to the CHOPPA on time.
Another amazing Seiko watch! My bank account is crying so hard.
Yesterday mine arrieved!!! This watch will get al lot of wristtime. 😉👍🏻👌
So glad they’re bringing these back. Really cool! Almost like they’re listening to the community!
That Arnie is so cool!! BUT I really don't need another diver style watch, so I'll pass. I don't need it.... I don't need it.... I don't need it.... I don't need it.... Dang! I want it...
Hahahahaaha
How are you enjoying it? Ordering one soon!
Plus the films that he did. & the film he wore his Seiko watch
1. Commando
2. Raw Deal
3. Predator
4 The Running Man plus he wore a G-Shock II in the film after his character fakes his death on live TV.
5. Twins
He wore the Seiko in all of those?
Only The Original H558.
your right he did use all these watches mr Shwarzenegger is a big collector of watches him self and he still ownes this
Spoiler alert, please!
and Preditor as well......
I have an original that I bought in the Mid 80's as I started SUCBA sport diving. Still works fine, just new batteries, I may just need to get the new one, being solar would be great!
The watch is just like Arnie himself. Big, chunky and definitely has presence.
I got mine yesterday and I love it.
Just got my Seiko Arnie from Mimo. Absolutely love it! Couldn’t be happier. Great review by the way.
Nice touch with the Scrabble letters. I hope that's a new regular thing.
I'm pretty pleased with the size for what it is. I own a pre-Arnie (H556-5029) that I got new back in around 1983 and it's a bit too dainty for my taste now so looks like I'll be getting one of these new ones in a few months most likely.
Been waiting for such a vid for decades !
Uuuggghhhhh. Just when I said I wasn't going to buy anymore watches for a while.... love it!
I currently have the tuna 031 which I love! but may have to pick up the Arnie 🤘🏻 great job with the vid!
Thanks mate ,,just ordered mine ,,cant wait so happy to get one ,,thanks for the cool vid

Mimo hooks me up fast.
The Seiko Arnie Reissue!
That's awesome that the Analogue synchs with the Digital!! The original H558 doesn't do that.
I've been wearing my H558 daily for 30 years, but I think I'm getting one of these!!
Your original H558 can get a well deserved rest if you get the reissue!
@@raksh9 Already done!! Got the Pepsi model about 8 months ago!!
@@thebronzetoo Congratulations, it will serve you for years to come! 😁
Thanks for the review ! How is the alarm ? Is it the standard beep or the nicer 2-tone of the older Seikos ? Is it loud ?
Nice watch, my only Seiko is a 46 mm solar 100 m of water resistance but it doesn't have a screw-in crown I've had it for about 6 years now and it's still running strong with the original battery.
I love the dual lume! I prefer the contrasting minute hand for quicker nighttime legibility.
Hi.. I love your review and i wanted to ask you if this watch is with the cost? I am thinking of getting one. Thanks.
Finally, a combination of analog diver and digital watch. I can use the bezel and stopwatch for everything. This might make me put my gwb5600 on shelf.
Yes, the size!! Great, perfect!
Wow! That's a big watch.

Love your videos!!! Where did you get the Citizen JP2000? Thank you
The discount code is amazing! Thx. Cheapest price on the web.
Mimo is awesome!
Hi.. I love your taste for watches. May I ask where you purchased the Citizen JP2000-08E? I love that style.. Thanks.
Ebay
How does this compare in size to the SBDB013 you recently sold?
Not sure if I want to get an Arnie for my birthday or different Seiko watch 🤔
Super cool. I'm sure it will be very hot and sell out quickly in a lot of places. Thanks for the first you look at this new Seiko. I am a little surprised that I can do as much as you can being a solar powered watch. But, I'm certainly not objecting to that.
Does it show two different time in Analog and digital display?
Rob, it looks like it had a plastic stroud or tuna can...as you know I am no Seiko expert but about to buy one as I love the look...but isnt the point of the tuna can to protect the surround of your watch?
I ordered one one the strength of this video
Many thanks 👍
Awesome👏🏻Piece Of 2019!
I like the citizen you just got in better tbh 👍
Bought the black and stainless steel version and I’m very happy with it.
Got the feeling the arnie watch doesn’t do a lot for you rob?
Anyway great vid as always.
Thanks Rob Just ordered the black one, 1st time order from Mimos, I live in Canada hope i don't get nabbed on the duty.
sonyman2112 good luck lol
Rob, are the dimensiuons comparable to the original H558?
Great review of a cool watch!
Mate, its a keeper, im getting it.
Cool movement!
Every random Rob video about seiko divers: "Yes it's big, but it doesn't wear big, you can pull it off!" 😉
Hey Rob,Would i think it would be right up your alley if you did a review on the Citizen Eco Drive Titanium Blue Orca-BN0016-55L.It reminds me of the second generation SEIKO monster but a Citizen
Can't wait 2 get 1 or 2 myself.
I was just thinking when's Rob gonna review an arnie lol. Has to be the plain steel model for me
Do a detailed review of the Citizen BN7020-17E Promaster Professional Diver Men's Eco-Drive Watch!
I went with the Padi also
Which one you like more s025 or s027
Nice handson review.my wife ordered the gold one for me
I already own the Citizen JP2000, I think I might need the new Arnie to go with it.
That watch is huge. It dwarfed your wrist. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and I can clearly see that it would be too big for me. Thanks for sharing.
For people with Arnie 9 inch wrists back in the day
@R A, On the contrary, I met him once at World Gym. He has big wrists.

How much in Canada and were?
Have that sensor? Depthmeter?

Random Rob The “Arnie” looks great on your wrist.
I'm liked this watch, I have the snj025, Big watch, I have 1.91 and 110kg, for my size it's perfect!
I wonder how much is the diameter of the dial.
Very cool Rob...How did you get this so fast? I didn't think these were out yet. Thank you for a fantastic review :)
They have been out since the beginning of the month.
@@Hi_how_you_doing Thank you...I thought they were coming out next month...just been too busy, I guess.
whats the model number on the citizen sir

Yesss!!! Finally the new arnie!!! Makes me want to watch predator, the running man, and raw deal. Lmao.
marks man watched Predator again last nite !!!! Weekly 🤣

I hope these come down a little bit on price in time for the holidays, probably going to replace my SNE498 with one of these. (would not have bought the SNE498 had I known this was coming).
Once the dust settles I bet used ones will be about $300
@@RandomRobReviews I just hope Harold @ yobokies is ok. (hope he does a stainless surround for the Arnie, too!)
The SNE498 is different enough to this model that I think I can justify owning both.
Just ordered in Black before they are sold out! 💪🏼🇦🇺
I prefer the slightly smaller solar Tuna
If you don't wear this everyday and keep it charged, it would be a pain in the butt to keep resetting the digital part. Is there a power reserve?
The charge last for ages
A real tool watches for people who take diving seriously, tough, solid, but with the looks they are not suitable for any occasion wearing. 😊
Someone should release Seiko Arnie DVD pack.
Why doesn't any call the casio analog/digital an arnie? He wore on in kindergarten cop.... anyway great review, dont think I'll be waiting in a line for it.
what kind of battery does this watch have? how long it last
It’s a solar watch.
What is the Citizen?
Alright i just ordered mine, in standard black and white. Thanks for pushing this to the front of the line much appreciated. Wish it was not made in china but what can you do.
Is the black shroud plastic or metal?
It's plastic
I got mine from mimo today

It is in fact a 60 click bezel, at least it is on my SNJ 031 “Safarnie”.

Way too big for me and my wrist is a tad over 7 inches. Arnold is a very big guy. He can probably wear any size watch.
Definitely too big for your wrist. On mine it would look like I was struttin' a can. Lol!
