Review on Seiko Prospex Samurai SRPB51: Stainless Steel Automatic Dive Watch - 200m Water Resistance by Patrick Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but flawed

So I read all the reviews on many online shopping sites, watched the reviews on YouTube, saw them in person at a department store (in blue) and decided to place my order here at Rewain. But unfortunately this watch didn't impress me when I wore it on my wrist for several reasons. Mine had an index mismatch with the chapter ring in several places. I read about it but hoped it wouldn't be with me. It was, and I was really messing around. I would go crazy, especially at marker 12! The bezel was fairly matte and felt like it should have been a lighter ink/print. And the overall finish around the bezel and glass wasn't as clear as I'd expect from watches $350 and up. The weight was very heavy and the protrusions dug into my wrist after a while. Although the size was good for my 7.5 inch wrist. Also remember that the end links are T-shaped, not the typical U-shape. The band does not bend backwards at the end of the limb. Unfortunately I had to send it back but Revain did a great job with it. I will search further.

Pros
  • Wrist watch
Cons
  • Very expensive
