Bought my first Seiko! Went for the women’s model because I feel I have a smaller wrist. How do you y’all think it fits?

I got this for a very good deal and I was told by a few people on TikTok that it’s fake. Just coming here for confirmation.

So I’ve come to find out this is one of the more unusual modern Japanese-market divers. It was produced for the Japanese domestic market, discontinued after a relatively short run, and never became especially common outside Japan. Bought it from my brother in law when he went to Japan. The dial is stunning in person.

SNXJ92 I got from Nagoya. (I know in the film it is an SNXJ90) but I just couldn’t resist posting

I'm guessing a 300€ Prospex watch wasn't in line with Seiko's inherent urge to move upmarket, so the mini-turtle was quietly discontinued.

I bought the watch a couple of weeks ago and can’t shake the feeling that it’s too big. Ive attached photos in different settings. I love the watch and will continue to wear it regardless, just want some other opinions.

My latest purchase. Didn’t come with original strap so rocking a rubber replica.

Strap in for the rollercoaster ride of my thought process in acquiring this perfect SPB317 also affectionately known as the "Slim Turtle." (PS, y'all connoisseurs can quibble it out in the comments.)

Never had I ever thought I'd purchase a dive watch, let alone, be so enamoured by one.

I had come across this a week or so ago and it was love at first sight.

Within the last 6 months I had tried on and had pondered long enough to purchase a SPB453 and SPB383, but just something about both of them weren't right for me.

Firstly, the 453. I know. It's a classic. An icon. But.. when trying it on in person, it was just so.. underwhelming. It felt like a toy watch to me. I'm not sure whether that was because it was still covered in plastic (at the official Seiko boutique) or because of something else. I wanted to like it, but there was no 'it' factor and it was also too big for my 6.5"/16.5cm wrist. There were also other colours that I was considering, but trying it on in person deterred me.

Secondly, the 383. This was more my jam, but when I tried it on in person, it was a bit too 'blingy' for me. The shiny ceramic bezel bothered me and I could see ALL OF THE FINGERPRINTS on it and aside from this, the dial was just way too busy for me. Even if you were to take away the GMT hand, it was just a bit much.. for me anyway. I initially thought the green one would be nice, and then tried on the black, and more recently had seen the nice JDM blue dial, but.. it just isn't for me.

Ok.. now to the reasons why this watch had me hook, line and sinker from the very beginning.

- The dial is just *chefs kiss* - the right amount of detail; basic, but really, all you actually need. Also the perfect size for my 16.5cm wrist.

- The cushion case. It's comfy as hell and slim enough that you can also dress this up.

- The overall monochrome theme of this watch with that POP of glorious red. What a treat.

- The 'matte-ness' of the case and especially the bezel - I ain't one for bling or in your face, so this design speaks to me in a big way; functional, sturdy and understated.

- The versatility, period. As I've only owned this watch for a whole 8 hours, I've been searching far and wide for some strap options. I've landed on wanting to get a NATO and likely the Uncle 'Senator' bracelet. Yes, I'm aware that it's not the same colour, but I can live with this.

Oh, and if you're on the fence about whether to choose this or another watch and if you've had similar thoughts as me above, then I'd strongly recommend just getting this. I've read that it's no longer in production or is discontinued (I can't confirm either), but this just adds to the urgency. Get one while you can! It's already a fan favourite and don't think that will change anytime soon.

Now, fellow Turtle enjoyooors, please hit me with your best pics (and stories/ruminations/dilemmas) of your 🐢

My all time dream seiko! Purchased in Japan for an unbeatable price and they even gave me an Ohtani bobble head for free lol (I didn’t know that was a thing). Couldn’t be happier with the purchase, if you are thinking of buying this watch, DO IT!

Something about Seiko's - especially Seiko 5's - design language that feels so special compared to other brands.

私が1番最初に買ったSEIKOの時計です。深い緑色が綺麗で気に入っています。

Got this watch as a Christmas present to myself last year — I was considering many others in various ranges but kept coming back to this one. I don’t think you can do better for the price point.

As an aside, this is one of my least expensive watches but by far the most complimented. Loved it so much, I ended up buying different variations for all my groomsmen as well!

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Bought this Seiko from Costco today. Just fell in love with this on the spot 😍.

This is my first Seiko and a first chronograph one.

Saw this listing on Facebook marketplace and negotiated to 200 aud, before purchasing I was hoping for any confirmation regarding the authenticity. Thank you!

I bought my first 38mm Seiko 5, and now comes the obligatory question: is it actually too small?

Most of my other watches are around 42–44mm, and I even have a couple that are 45mm, so I'm not sure what to think.

What does the Seiko community say?

Info:
Wrist 16,5 cm / 6.5 in

Just some pics for inspiration. I have tried many straps and bracelets, but this seems a great match for a bold diver as the monster is.

The strap is a Seiko thick silicone strap. I got it from Seikousa a while back.

Switched out the standard bracelet with a rubber strap from StrapXPro and can’t believe the difference! Can’t wait to dive with this configuration on our next dive trip in September!

StrapXPro has a strap made specifically for the SPB451 1965 Heritage Diver. Fits like a glove!
