Great entry level watches!

SRPD79K1 looks like a fun piece to have without having to break the bank.

A recycling of the SKX series case with a new movement and other cosmetics plus a huge price increase.  ;D

But I do like the one with green textured dial and nato strap.

I like this one ~ SRPD77K1.  :thumbsup:
I checked with my dealer a little while ago. The stock hasn't arrived.

Got my eye on that too. Surprisingly our neighbour in the south already got their stocks considering the main AD is the same as Malaysia’s.

In watches, as in cars, we are always one step behind in getting the latest models.

Based on spec alone I would say it is a let down, if you allow me... Just a small update to their 7S movement and the WR is so low... Not rated by ISO anymore too. The logo looks like from Superman. In any case and from other forums, seem Seiko fanboys would still buy.

They may called it Seiko Superman in the next iteration if they can get around the copyrights issue.  ;D

There is a shift in Seiko product offering strategy. Historically, it was a free-for-all i.e. in terms of specifications and capabilities in every genre. Now, professional specifications would be the hallwark of Prospex. Seiko 5 would just be basic timepieces. Also, these new sets of Seiko 5s will now be highlighted on the website unlike the last time.
