The Arnie!

Hey everyone. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with the H558-5009, mad popular by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s. I’m a vintage Seiko fan and I’ve owned a few, but I never seem to hear much about these compared to others of the same era. For those who have had one in their collection or still do, how do the feel on the wrist and perform overall?

I owned one briefly. I did not get overwhelmed by it at all. I like my Seiko 7548's way better so it left. The new Seiko STBR's are the same feel/style. So I sold that one also.

One thing, if the movement goes out on this watch I do not think a replacement is easy to find. At least I couldn't find one recently for a customer.

Good to know. Thanks!
