The Royal Blue Monster SRP657 is a 1,750-unit Thailand LE model from 2017. It is based on the 2nd-gen Seiko Monster, but receives several upgrades.
What I didn't realize is that it's not just a bezel swap. The watch case is different from that of a standard Monster, and it has a few other tweaks.
I don't often buy Seiko numbered Limited Editions because they come with a price increase. But with the SRPD01 Grey Dawn Turtle, I couldn't resist.
The 2nd-gen Monster featured some of the upgrades of my previous 4th-gen, but had more of the character of the original SKX781. Was this the best version?
Casio Oceanus OCW-T200 vs Grand Seiko SBGX341: compare design, movement, lume, and value between two standout Japanese quartz watches.
The diver's watch category is one of the most popular among watch collectors. Take a look at some of StrapHabit's favorite dive watches.
The Seiko Prospex Marinemaster SJE099 has minimal upgrades but is double the price of SPB453 62MAS. Read the review to learn if it's worth the extra cost.
New collectors or those on a budget often set hard limits on what they can spend on a watch, and that number is often $500. Despite recent cost increases, there are still a lot of great watches that can be bought for (often significantly) less than that amount.
Seiko produces lots of iconic dive watches, but the most distinctive is the Tuna. There is now midsize Solar Tuna. I purchased the green SUT421 as a gift.
I recently reviewed the Seiko Prospex 62MAS SPB453, the updated version of SPB143, one of my favorite $1,000 watches. The changes are subtle, so I put together a comparison using photos.
