Seiko's New Field Watch Will Blow You Away - Seiko 5 Sports SRPG31
Stunning watch. I've been looking at this particular color. Thanks for the quick review!
I like the novelty of these watches, but 100 buck is way too expensive for this. Aliexpress has magnetic wtaches for 20-30 bucks.
The case is made of copper because the steel one will not work with magnetic movement due to it inherent magnetism.
Hello and thanks for this video. 30 meters, that's the point? This is more a dress watch water resistance than a professional/tool watch looking as this one, don't you think ?
@@user-ke6xt1yl1l I definitely wouldn’t take this swimming, thank you for watching!
A copper case? Interesting. I love untreated copper but many people dont because of the patina. I think this is an interesting piece and one of the most interesting magnet watches I have seen thus far! Thank you for sharing bro!
@@johanvandersandt8904 Thank you 🙏 for your thoughts and the support my friend!
@@SoCalWatchReviews 🙂👌
I have strict rules for myself on when I will buy a Homage watch. I fully respect those who love them and hate them. I do draw the line at Counterfeit watches. And for me a counterfeit is using another watch’s logo and brand without permission. Thanks for the honest review.
@@adk7962 Thank you 🙏 for sharing and watching!
Its says on the site of the 36mm "anti-reflective sapphire crystal" .do you know if its like the one you reviewed or if they have changed something? Because i dont know what the specs on the one you review were mentioning but it was reflective.thanks
@@charalamposkarydas3694 Great question and to be honest I don’t know if they listened and changed the crystal (doubt it), thank you 🙏 for watching!
The king has no clothes.
👍🏼 thank you for watching!
Ball are such a good brand in the part of the market they operate in. I have a skin diver mk3 and its a really well made watche. The in house movement is really good for the price range with 80 hours power reserve and chronometer standard. Only Oris can match that. Also love being able to use it as a beside clock due to the tritium which just doesnt show up well on camera but is perfectly bright and visible with night adjusted eyes.
@@nikc1313 Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Stunning watch and great video! Btw just a heads up, the reference is SSC939, might wanna update the title :)
I appreciate the support and thanks for the heads up!
I am late to the party but I am here! This is a super sexy Seiko! It looks awesome man! One of my favorite Seiko's you have reviewed in a while! Thanks for sharing brother! 😉👌
@@johanvandersandt8904 Better late than never. I appreciate you my man!
😉👌
Such an interesting question. Is the Rolex worth the premium? In real terms, clearly not. An unitiated person could easily prefer the looks of the Baltany and the improved movement is far worse in all functional respects than a decent quartz movement. The name Rolex does have value and history but most of all, I think, if we are being honest, the Rolex makes the statement that you are a successful person who can afford to wear it.
@@Hemebean well said!
They went to town on lume on this compared to the panda versions!
I need to check out the 🐼 one (might buy one 👍🏼)
I wish someone would make a replacement bracelet for this other than Strapcode and Uncle. Been looking for something for my SSC813 with on-the-fly adjustment.
💯
The 22 mm Lug width isn't a big deal if the bracelet is a good one. Is it pin and collar?
@@TheBimmer74 yup pin and collar 👍🏼
Odd. Yours has drilled lugs while all combinations on the website do not. Could you have a unique version?
@@ChristopherCadlum That is interesting… LMK if you want to pick this one up (unworn, only used for the video 👍🏼)
Damn this is just a counterfeit Rolex that did not put Rolex as the name. At least have something different.
@@solidstream13 Thank you for watching 👍🏼
I was also suprised at how well made this is. The Chinese are the future! haha
@@Ian_CognitoOnIG Glad I’m not alone and thank you for watching my man!
BTW do you know they have an option that they can put your logo or writing (non copyrighted) on the dial on Baltany's site for like ~$38? I wanna put a logo of my company, it's just me and my bud in the company so we would have our own "merch" watches😂I so want the bezel on this 1016 be thinner, closer to original tho. I'm battling with myself for a month now if I should buy it with the custom dial or not lol
@@armancz Yes I was aware and thanks for the reminder, I’ll mention it in the next review. Thank you for watching and I think you should totally customize the watch 👍🏼
@@SoCalWatchReviews I still hope they come up with updated bezel version, it's the only thing missing for a perfect 1016 homage. Forgot to say - great review, finally someone who owns a real Explorer chiming in with Baltany's review on that watch :D
@@armancz Thank you 🙏
Looks alot more expensive the 580$ dollar price point 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Are you fuxking mad??????
Have you ever held one in hand?
@@SoCalWatchReviews you said looks.. not feel. But yes i have tried one on. Very unremarkable. For 600 dollars you could buy a used omega constellation. For 600 dollars tou could buy a new yema superman. Quartz. For 600 dollars you could buy a Christofer Ward. For 600 dollars you could buy a prx. A nivada grenchen. Etc etc
@@robertostefanowicz9749 👍🏼
$396 is not that far off from a mint condition PRX from a reputable source. I got mine brand new for 500.
@@grneal26 👍🏼
its a cool watch, but its not a field watch at all.
@@grneal26 👍🏼
Wow a Chinese copy of a Jacob and Co. Sorry man this watch is garbage and just plain lame. Who the hell would pay $700 for this lol.
@@daleyfamily2179 in hand it feels really well constructed 👍🏼
Buenos días Miguel,me gustaría escuchar tu opinión (revision) de un reloj muy especial para mí el Christopher Ward en su variante Colchester.
@@randalljosealvaradomurillo1017 Buenos días, un relojaso. Hace como dos años CW me lo presto, pero todavía no he echo el video 🤦🏻 . Me encanto el mechanisms de la corona, muy padre.
If I'm not mistaken the lugs in this one are 20mm, not 21. I believe the first version was 19mm.
It’s 21mm unfortunately seikousa.com/products/ssc929
cut throat price...no no...
@@viperviperpiro Thank you for watching 👍🏼
Seriously?? It's a cheap, nasty, toy.
@@Nick-uk9wl once you have it in hand it doesn’t feel that way.
I Agree its garbage looking and just stupid. Looks like something you would win a Dave & busters from playing skeeball.
Currently the watch is on the Indiegogo for just $699, which is mindblowing considering what a masterpiece this watch is...Even if this watch for $5k I think it's worth the price.
@@Jack_the_rider Really? Wow didn’t know that! Agree with you, this thing should not be so cheap.
Just a few days back I told them to contact CZcamsr for a watch review and here you just posted a watch review...It's great to see that the company is willing to hear and take feedback from their customers.
@@Jack_the_rider Thank you for your support and they have been very responsive!
This is super cool! This will be such a cool watch to play with when you are at the airport or somewhere where you need to wait forever like the DMV! Love the box and the extras too! Thank you for sharing man! You are right, this is a bargain at $1000! Hope you have a great day! 😁👌
@@johanvandersandt8904 Thank you 🙏 for the support man!

What settings are you using? Are you ticking something perhaps that’s impacting the algorithm? If you want to set up a call to chat let me know because this is simply not right? 30,000 subs you should be getting a better response than this. Happy to help if I can

great review and you keep good company with Brian of GQ.... great man, top-notch service and attention to detail
@@MyRucstar Thank you and Bryan is the man!
I wasn’t noticing it until the video mentioned how awkward the date window is positioned… 😂
Another one (DJ Khaled voice) 😂 not a watch for me personally. But great job on the video my friend 😁.
@@timelesssneakersandwatches 😂 ❤️
I love homage watches for a very particular reason. I can test and wear a homage watch to help me decide my next purchase, only making sure the dimensions are exactly the same as the real version. This helped me purchase my seamaster 300, bb54 and iwc mark xx. It's like a "tester" before the big purchase and it always bring me excitement to test a new chinese watch to see if the design resonates with me. Very useful indeed. I love homages.
@@rigatake5 Thank you for sharing!
This watch is seriously underrated. Own some high-end stuff, yet this is getting all my wrist time lately. The bang for buck and finish is insane.
No disrespect to anyone who owns homage watches, I just can't understand the appeal. For much the same reason I'd never want a Toyota MR2 that looks like a Ferrari.
@@LRSTGS Thank you for sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
I own watches within the 1000 euro mark. From Casios to very recently purchased a Max Bill 38 automatic. And some in between ( Seiko 5GMT, Hamilton Khaki Field auto, Tissot PRX ice blue auto, etc...). Honestly I cherish my Casio A168 the same as my Junghans. Of course wearing the Junghans makes me a little bit anxious about door nobs and some other event that can damage. For me a 1000 euros is 2/3 of my monthly income fyi. But I wear a 30 euros watch proudly as my Max Bill. My first homage was a impulse buy for a watch with the same proportions and aesthetic as a Cartier tank. I bought a Sanda Tank and that thing is just too good to throw away. I've actually bought a spare just in case my 1st fails me. I buy watches in special events mostly. Bought one when I got married, a special date. My Max Bill was a birthday gift to myself for my 41st. I've recently searched for a explorer 36m equivalent just for experimenting with a smaller case watch and got myself a Baltany with a Seiko NH38 movement. I'm deeply impressed by the overall quality. The point is, I know it's not going to be a family heirloom, homages have their place for people like me with a family, bills to pay, mortgage,etc. I'm currently saving for my next grail probably a Tudor black bay. Meanwhile I'll have fun with the occasional homage ( which I'm very picky even if it's cheaper). I don't want to end up with 50 homages instead of buying a proper one. Which I think is your point.
@@vic7939 well said and thanks for sharing!
@@vic7939 I totally understand that, and I have watches ranging from £8 Casio's to £8k Rolex's in my collection and I get just as much from all of them. For me it's about the design, and the designer. The creative process is the bit that excites me. If somebody copies a design, then that whole appealing bit is missing for me. A few years back I was looking for a 36mm watch to replace my Rolex as a daily wearer. I looked at a bunch of homage watches, but I settled on a Smiths W10. It cost under £500 and the design was original to Smith's. I understand for lots of people the design, and the process of the design isn't the appealing bit. Maybe it's because I'm a creative myself that it's the bit that most excites me. The good thing is, we're all different, and we all love different things about watches, that's what keeps the hobby interesting. Otherwise we'd all be walking around wearing the exact same watch :)
@LRSTGS What is that hard to understand? Not many can afford to give 3-5k or more on a watch and maybe they like the design of it, so that means that they shouldn't buy it because its not the original Tudor ? And comparing watches to cars makes no sense whatsoever.
i just picked up the san martin equivalent of this watch (it's amazing!). the pure white dial and applied markers gives it a more explorer 2 vibe. this baltany looks excellent too
@@jroobz congrats 👏
This is quite the tooley beauty! This is such a good way to get the look and feel of a Tudor without the eye watering price! This seems cleaner than the Tudor. I like the lume actually. Its like a faded vintage look with modern reliability! I think you have a winner there Miguel! Take care man!
@@johanvandersandt8904 Thank you 🙏 for watching my friend!
@@SoCalWatchReviews 😃👍
Seiko is just more beautiful 😊❤
When is a homage acceptable to us watch geeks. I've got the Steinhart version in 39mm and its a super watch. If the Tudor was thinner I would upgrade, but, the dimensions on the homages are better dimensions because of the movements. Head scratch for me is that Sinn have released some gorgeous 903 in various colours. These obviously aren't homages as they own the patent , but, mentally to me on one hand it's not the " navitimer " , however, specifications on the Sinn as you would expect really solid.
@@stephengarratt8027 I’m with you there man. Thank you for watching!
Clean, simple, to the point! I call it timeless 🔥
@@Distractingdials 💯
Own some high end stuff but the quality for the money of the Pagani still blows me away. Gets more wrist time than anything else. Seriously underrated and a great value prop.
Seiko is just more handsome ❤😊
@@jeid3822 Thank you for watching!
Have this watch and extremely pleased with its build quality and accuracy to the original Vietnam version ! . I also own the Seko 5 3861, which is the modern version, but its numerals are larger and not slanted like their original 60s ones otherwise its excellent edition to my miltary watch collection
@@samzerafa3185 nice 👍🏼
