Now I understand why it's a classic and so beloved. I purchased 4 divers prior, for less, or with hacking, ceramic and better sapphire, but this has the right feel, the right look, and it can go under without worries. Mine lines up perfectly, keeps time within single digit seconds a day. I also got lucky, purchased slightly used and received a flawless piece. Even the OEM strap is completely respectable and distinct. A tool watch with style and best of all, major brand status. It's only going up.

I thought the hands and hour markers would glow in the dark more easily. They do, if you place a flashlight on the face, but normal exposer to the sun isn't enough. I would look next time for some brand that uses Trillium for markers.

If you don't have the Seiko SKX007 (or 009), you're missing out. I have a collection from Omega, Panerai, to Casios. The Seiko fits perfect into my collection. So much so, I have bought three. Everyone complains about the Jubilee, however I absolutely love it. Yes, you can spend $120 on the super jubliee, or oyster and the SEL fitment is a lot better, however I enjoy this one. I wear this in my weekly rotation with my Omega Seamaster Pro, and my Panerai 390. It fits perfect into my collection. The best part? The community is phenomenal. Joined a Seiko forum, and they welcomed me with open arms. Seiko to me, has always been a brand I have been aware of, yet I did not own any (except two vintages from my grandfather). Owning these other brands, I never really gave a second thought. However, I wish I did this sooner. If you have not already done so, pick one up. Beware of some coming from the PH, as I have heard stories of bad movements. However, I picked mine up new and am ecstatic to add this to my collection. Whether its a gift for someone, or for yourself get it. If you're looking for your first watch, get it. Or want to add it? Get it. No seriously. (and no, I am not anyway affiliated to Seiko..Relax). Enjoy!Read full review

It's just ridiculous if you don't own one of these. Worst kept secret. Sure the movement doesn't hand wind and hack, the end links on the bracelet aren't solid, the clasp is tinny. But it just has that classic vibe and Seiko reliability. At 21600 bph this 7R26 mvt churns along with little worry of fragile gear train wear. This is a piece you can easy hand down to your kid when they graduate from school, having never serviced it. For its size it wears small. I normally never wear anything over 38mm and this sits just fine on my thin wrist. The jubilee bracelet is a love it or hate it. I love it. Give it a chance. It wears as close to a leather strap than any other bracelet I've owned. Goes without saying there's a world of great aftermarket stuff you can do with it. Wear it with a smile, as it will run with the Subs all day long. Oh yeah, throw a NATO on when you dive. Even though the oversized spring bars will never break, you should play it safe anyway. No need to leave it on the ocean floor.Read full review

The SKX series of dive watches has been a respectable member of Seiko's automatic line of watches since their debut in the 90's. As affordable as they are popular, no other model of watch by any brand is as easy to modify, either. ISO certified, quirky, highly readable, distinctive, and absolutely functional as a tool watch, any SKX is worth the money paid for it or invested in it. Practically speaking, the SKX007 looks slightly large on my 7" (17.8 cm) wrist, but it is so well proportioned and comfortable that I am very, very happy with it. I would recommend the 38mm diameter SKX013, 015, or 017 if your wrist is smaller than seven inches or seventeen centimeters. As a series of dive watches, these measure about 12 mm tall, so please do not expect to fit them under sleeves and cuffs. The bracelet is very lightweight because of its folded, not solid, links, but I am very pleased with the weight of my watch fitted well. My clasp has seven micro adjusters, so it wears perfectly to my liking. Although this watch has been discontinued, it will remain popular as long as it exists for all of its features: no other watch, even now, boasts all of them at this price.Read full review
