The watch case and everything else about it are heads and shoulders above other Seiko's I've had in the past. The SRP line represents a fantastic value, especially if purchased used and in good to great condition! If this were a "Swiss Made" watch, it would easily command a street price of 2-3x the current price and be in the $750-1000 range, easily. The lume on the dial and hands is insanely great, as are almost all Seiko's (modern ones at least). The rubber type strap is VERY soft, pliable and comparable in feel to those on the Apple Watch Sports. The buckle and everything about are top notch, this is the best rubber strap I've ever had. Also, the lugs are drilled so removing the spring bar is very easy and the SRP777 looks great on a NATO strap as well. For the price, you can't beat it. It may be a bit large for some, but it wears a bit smaller than the specs would indicate. Compared to the Seiko SKX007, this is hands-down a better value overall. You are getting a better movement that is hackable and hand-winding as well. How do I regard this watch so far? Well, it has changed my mind about Seiko's place in the market overall. I'll consider other mid to higher level Seiko's in the future. This was just going to be a beater watch when I want to baby my favorite 14 year old Swiss diver....but this will see a lot of wear and will likely have a lot more wrist time than anticipated! A job well done Seiko! Read full review

Overall pretty good. The chapter ring and dial alignment is almost perfect. Typical seiko QC issues so there is some misalignment which I could fix myself. What's more difficult to fix is the day and date wheel. Date wheel display is lower than the day wheel so for example |WED|17|, the 17th would sit quite a bit lower than WED and on a few days the day wheel would diaplay slanted. It bugs me quite a bit because it ruins the dial face.

This has quickly become my favorite watch. I have a much more expensive Seiko and a Hamilton as well, but this watch gets the most wrist time. It's durable, accurate (runs between +2 to +15 sec/day, well within specs), extremely legible day/night/underwater, comfortable, and stylish. While the rubber band is perfect for swimming, I found that I got too sweaty under it and didn't like wearing it for long activities. This watch is so versatile, however, and looks amazing on NATO straps! I have it on an army green one most of the time, and switch it up with a Bond strap to dress it up a little bit. I love having the day and date, and because it's so affordable, I don't feel like I have to worry about banging it around--I just wear it, and love it.

This latest generation of automatic Seiko diver's watches continues its rock-solid legacy of rugged performance and excellent build quality. Similar in many ways to the previous generation of this line (SKX007J1), this latest revision features optional hand-winding and the seconds hand hacks, where in the previous generation in was automatic -only. Also present with this latest revision is the cushion-style case, which sits very comfortably. An added and welcome feature that is new to this revision is drilled lugs, making it much easier to change out straps and bracelets. The quality is far above what one would expect at this modest price point, and this reviewer was so delighted with the watch I purchased 3 in different colors. The day wheel is presented in English and a selection of other languages; your seller can tell you which to expect. The only concern noted is that there have been reports of alignment issues with the chapter ring, face, and bezel on some isolated cases; it is recommended that the seller be asked about this before purchase. In an exciting development, there is a cottage industry that has sprung up to customize automatic Seiko diver's watches; this model serves as an absolutely excellent base for this endeavor with custom bezels and crystals, hands, faces, etc. Whether you opt for customization or adhere to the majesty and honest simplicity of the stock configuration, this watch is an excellent purchase that will serve you well. Just an absolute bargain at this price. Read full review

I'm just going to give you a first impression out of the box. Very comfortable heavier watch. Not a thin watch sits up and begs to be knocked this will probably be a problem for clumsy old me. Has a semi brushed case sits large on a regular men's wrist but not "super" large. Quality looks really good strap is comfortable has a semi shiny "oversized" buckle and same metal retainer. I would wear and not worry this watch or just keep it in the box and watch the price go up. You do realize that for $25 more you can get the Pepsi bezel right? I wanted the more subdued look myself but the Pepsi has the much more exciting look.
