What is your choice on seiko wristwatches?

I found sarb033 and fell in love but knows little about it. What type of seiko watch is the best for students?

You write like you are in grade school so how about a Seiko 5 SNKK71K1? Saw one new on sale for $85.

Seiko makes a good watch and should hold you over well during your time as a student.

Probably want to post this in the dedicated Seiko Sub Forum, but there's plenty of solid choices between $100 and $300- google seiko padi, seiko prospex....check Amazon of prices, but also your local macy's might have good deals....

That was uncalled for

There is actually a Seiko sub-forum where you can post questions about Seiko, and it may be a better option as members who browse that forum may have more Seiko knowledge.

I myself would recommend:
For <$100 - The Seiko 5 is basically your only option, but there are tons of variations of Seiko 5's, so there's good variety

For > $100, I'd recommend either a SKX dive watch (any from the SKX line) or a Seiko Flightmaster Quartz.

In either event, I've heard good things about https://www.longislandwatch.com/ - might be worth checking out as they have quite a selection. I'm not affiliated with them in any way so I can't say for certain though.
