Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver Watch Winner Follow-Up

Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver Watch Winner Follow Up   seiko

Winner of the Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver watch shares his thoughts and some pictures of himself enjoying the watch. Thanks Jason and enjoy!

Words from the winner on this Seiko:

  • "There is a lot to love in this watch, considering the retail price of $595: sapphire crystal, ratcheting clasp on the bracelet, a blackened-steel bezel, solid end-link bracelet, and a set it and forget it kinetic movement.
  • The fit and feel of the case, bezel and bracelet are what you would expect from Seiko - solid.
  • The design is a big plus - not a Submariner or Seamaster clone, but a unique design.
  • The watch is big - bigger than I usually wear on my 6.5" wrist (see the comparison shot with my Rolex GMTIIC); however, because of the downward angle of the lugs, I can still just barely pull it off without having the watch hang over the edges of my wrist.
  • I had been looking for a nice, rugged, quartz diver to wear on weekends - something I didn't have to set every Saturday morning, and I think this Seiko fits the bill - the sapphire crystal will make it impervious to scratches, the kinetic movement means I won't have to worry about changing the battery, and the 200m water resistance means I won't have to worry about taking it for a swim.
  • Overall, there is a lot to love with this watch, and really no real drawbacks (except the size, which is really only a drawback for the small-wristed) - I really like it!

Again, thanks so much for the watch giveaway - I continue to enjoy reading aBlogtoRead.com, and I love that you give back to your loyal readers!"

If I won a watch, it would be the best photo review you would ever see.
