It's only been in the last few years I've gotten into Seiko, despite a long history with watch collecting. While much of what I own are from Swiss makers, Seiko certainly has more than made its mark in the watch industry. Pricing is another issue, and it's a long debate about what brands charge for what you get, but, here, the higher price is due to sapphire crystal, full dive specs, and, most impressive, the new 6R35 movement, with a 70 hour Power Reserve. The green is gorgeous. Deep and dark, it can almost look black under some lighting, but catches the light in other angles and the green is stellar. Bracelet is not as high end as some models -- stamped clasp, odd dive extension, no DiaShield, but solid end links, and certainly very comfortable. Pin and collar links are a bit frustrating. The case design lends a lot, too, to very comfy wearing, and the mix of finishes impresses, polished and brushed. Sits perfectly on the wrist. Excellent bezel action. Of course, epic Seiko lume and the refresh of the Sumo design (the third generation) here is very handsome. As a fan of larger case styles, I appreciate the 45mm. At the price point, there are other dive watches to consider, with superior bracelet, ceramic bezel, even longer power reserve, but, what you're buying here is bit of Seiko history, and there is talk of this being somewhat collectible, although I buy to just enjoy and wear. Nice to know, though, it is a model of some note with Seiko enthusiasts. As merely a dive watch, for over eight hundred dollars, naturally one might look elsewhere, and with good reason, if price for specs is the only consideration, but, as a Seiko Sumo, in green, it's very well done and nothing else is like it. Thoroughly handsome watch, and a purchase of distinction. Read full review

Its a beautiful timepiece with precision and power wrapped up in a Sumo size case. The updates with the new 6r35 movement, 70 power reserve, sapphire crystal and smaller bezel font are worth it!! Plus the green is gorgeous.
