  • I really like the new SPB143/145/147 Seiko divers but the reviews are scary. Anyone’s got one? That bracelet doesn’t look like a £200 worth of bracelet.

  • I've got one. The 147. I really like it but understand that some aren't in to gilt. The rubber strap is real nice. Wouldn't buy one with a bracelet as the bracelet is, like you say, wanting.

    Out of the box it runs fast which is annoying. About five mins a week I think.

    For the money I think their QC isn't really good enough. The hour pip on the bezel is a poor design for automated assembly; on too many it looks misaligned.

  • SPB143

    I have to say I don’t think these cases suit a bracelet at all. They’re much better on rubber or a NATO.

    The Seiko bracelets are decent and functional but remember you realistically have to spend twice as much on a watch to get a “good” bracelet.
