Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The watch itself is very well made. Looks sporty, yet mature. The bezel spins smoothly and positively. The face is easy to read with nice sharp markers that glow in the dark nice and bright.

Time-tested time keeping from a manufacturer well-versed in the art of mechanical movements. Easy to muck around with should the whim take me.

The skx013 is the smaller version and a different animal altogether. The hardlex is pretty good and the lume is the best outside of niche dive watches like armida. Even the lumibrite lume and hardlex crystal are like new.



Cons

Thoroughly disgusted that my goto brand is no longer my goto. Paid $248 for it. Now they're just malaysian built junk.

It stops in less than 10 hours after you take it off your wrist. There is no easy, inexpensive fix. It is either defective or junk.

Quality


The fit finish and quality is excellent for a watch in this price range


The build quality is as solid as any watch i have ever handled


Ive spent more on bands than i paid for the wacth


Ill be sending it back to seiko usa for warranty repair soon and will update this review with the outcome

Price


These are great watches at a very reasonable price

Shipping


Bought this on 914 and paid for regular shipping


I bought the same or similar watch in 1974 from the ships store for 85

Packaging/appearance


I then ordered the skx173 from amazon great shipping full packaging and paperwork and a great looking watch


After a lot of internet searching i narrowed in on the skx007 an skx173 but i was concerned about both of them being too big on my wrist

Competitiveness


Wish these were still in production in my opinion these look better than the skx007 series the lolipop seconds on the right end alone


For a mechanical in this price range more than acceptable


If the watch hadnt stopped winding i would have given it five stars

    Dont expect much from the rubber band it comes with


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is not the best seiko offers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Keep in mind this particular skx model is manufactured in malaysia strictly for the north american market


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Youll also notice that this model retails for about 50 more than most of the other skx models as well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The case in all regards is the same and stands up well to heavy use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 120 click bezel is what i would call highprofile with the beveled crystal sitting just below its top edge


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Performance so far has been about 15 secday at around 245 degrees of amplitude


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This could be improved with a slight regulation but i would not do so now as it would require breaking the seal on the case back
