I’ve really come round to them. When they were revealed there were lots of negative comparisons flying about because they were pricier than the older Seiko 5s and didn’t have the divers spec of the SKX - like it was supposed to be its direct replacement. Whereas if you take them on their own merits they’re just a great value prop. They’re clearly “nicer” than the 007, from a finishing and detail point of view. I’m even tempted by a few of them...

If the extra water resistance and lume of the SKX aren’t a concern, the new 5 is arguably a better watch.
Right on time, real chunky boi of a review just went up on Hoodwinkee, with video.
