A Simple Review of the Seiko Sea Urchin

[slowflow]

I have been wearing my Seiko SNZF17K1 a.k.a. Sea Urchin for months now.


Technical specifications:
Unidirectional rotating bezel
41mm case size
Stainless steel case
22mm lug width
Automatic movement (7S36)
100m water resistance
You get a whole lot more than what you paid for ($130, more or less) once you see and wear this watch.  Beautifully made all steel with a black dial and bezel insert that gives you a sporty feel.

For an entry level diver watch, its a daily beater! Wether you’re on casual or business wear, it’ll feel comfortable. I have a 7.3 inch wrist and only had 3 links removed. The watch even for thise that have smaller wrists will fit just fine.
I kept it stock.  Some Sea Urchin owners would be seen sporting a NATO strap and others would have it on leather. However you choose to wear it, I'm sure it will be fun.

As for the movement (7S36), I used the Toolwatch app on my phone and it runs at -1.7 seconds/day. Pretty impressive in my opinion.


If you’re thinking of getting one, don’t hesistate. It’ll impress you like it did me.

I have a Japan made one of these - its a fantastic watch and great value

Some pics with my SD43 and a wrist shot. Its far from embarassed quality wise, yet costs 1/60th of the price

Great watch. I am a big Seiko fan and for the money I believe Seiko's are one of the best watches in it price range.
