Something's Fishy!

Been wearing the SBBN015 Tuna for a few days and it's everything I thought it would be and fills that quartz grab-and-go void perfectly! Its 7C46 movement has been spot-on at +/-0 seconds a day according to the USNO clock.



I must say that when I opened the box I was taken aback by the size in that you think it's going to be huge at 48mm diameter. At that moment you realize just how much lugs play their role in making a watch bigger. As you can see the dial is just slightly larger than the Submariner. You can also see how big the 43mm diameter SNDA57 looks with its lugs and all that open dial -- It's like an optical illusion.





Comparing this Tuna to the 116613 wouldn't be fair to the Tuna even though it's beautiful and surprisingly comfortable… If I gave the Sub a 10 out of 10 for comfort I'd have to give the Tuna a sold 8.5/10 and maybe even a 9 on a good day.

I was going to do a comparison to the SBDX001 MM300 but realized it would be too difficult in that both have their pluses and minuses. Not to mention both and are very different watches despite being close cousins in the Seiko family tree.

But overall there's no doubt it's worth every bit of the $960 I paid. I'm quite happy with it!
