How about a Seiko dive watch? Looks a lot like a Rolex Submariner. Invicta makes one too. They look good with jeans/casual and also look okay dressed up.

u/gg06civicsi · 4 pointsr/Watches

I would take a look at this post Most Popular Seiko 5s

My personal recommendation is the SNZ17 "Sea Urchin" it's a really classy watch (I have one myself). Check this video out Bond on a budget

Up for sale is my Seiko SNZF17 with modded bezel insert. Seiko SNZF17 specs. I recently found a semi grail so now I need to let a few go. I bought this watch used and have had the watch less than 6 months with minor wear as you might expect with no marks on crystal or bezel that I can see. Keeps good time but I haven't officially checked. Comes with everything in the picture including the original bezel insert if you want to put it back on.
Asking $115 shipped to CONUS. Please feel free to ask questions and thank you for looking.
Thanks

If he's looking for a watch that's less "dainty" but is sleek enough to be worn with a suit, then maybe the Seiko SNZF17 "Sea Urchin". I've had mine for a couple months now and it's hard to not wear it most of the time. If you want more color, then maybe the pepsi bezel variant (SNZF15) would do the trick? You can usually find the black one on sale for between $100-130.

u/tigerbravo · 3 pointsr/Watches

Seiko SNZF17 is also one to look at with more of the Submariner style.

u/jacobheiss · 3 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I will be the first to tell you that you should ultimately buy the watch you want. And if this is that watch--go for it.

Having said that, I am a really big fan of sticking with the mechanical watch. Why? Because you really don't need a watch at all to keep time these days if you carry a mobile phone, like most people in most circumstances. That simple fact brings watches more towards the category of "accessory" as opposed to "gear," but there is one really big factor that can blur the sharpness of that distinction, and that is sticking with a mechanical watch.

Good mechanical watches cost more than good quartz watches of similar quality--that's a fact. But the reason for this is the quantum leap of craftsmanship that an accurate mechanical watch must possess. I mean, these things use synthetic rubies to reduce friction--that's what the jewel number indicates with watches like this or this or this. Take a glance at this clip about the detailing going into one of the least expensive mechanical watch houses you can buy from today, viz. Russia's Vostok (remember to turn on the English subtitles).

I have to admit, I'm not too keen on the styling of the Timex Weekender; so, I'd have to hunt around for a good, mechanical parallel. But if you have summarily dismissed mechanical watches as being uninteresting, I hope you'll reconsider. I bought my first two for $150 total thanks to ebay and a Christmas sale from Orient in the first case and Parnis in the second, and it was absolutely worth the additional expense given the dramatically greater level of craftsmanship. For me, this made the watch I wore something more than a mere fashion accessory; it became something like a wearable tribute to artisanship. If that's something you value, you might find that you like mechanical watches, too.

The Seiko SKX line are usually diver models.

Here's some more

u/JesseW625 · 2 pointsr/Watches

I recently went to a Rolex AD and I just love the look of the Submariner. I don't have enough money to get one atm, but I found this Seiko that looks very similar, so I bought it for about $140 on Amazon. I'm very happy that I bought it, the build quality feels great and it looks amazing. People are definitely right when they say that pictures don't do this watch a justice (my phone's camera doesn't help) because in person it is beautiful. I've had my SNZG15 for a while now, and I have no doubt that this Sea Urchin will serve me well.

u/zygie · 2 pointsr/Watches

Sure. The Japanese are kings of value at that price point, and you'll have a fair share of selections from a few brands, types of movement (automatic/mechanicals, quartz, UHF quartz, solar quartz, etc.) and styles (diver, field, pilot, chrono, etc.) all good for day-to-day wear.

A good place to start is look through listings from Seiko, Orient, Citizen, and Casio's Edifice line.

A few examples:

Seiko SNZG13 - automatic field/military style

Orient Defender - automatic field style - also comes in blue

Seiko SNZF17(black) / SNZF15(blue/pepsi bezel) - automatic diver style

Seiko SNZH55/53/57 - automatic black, blue, and black/gold diver style

Various Seiko chronographs on bracelets - quartz movements

Orient Mako II and Ray II - automatic diver style watches with an upgraded movement over the Seiko automatics

Various Casio Edifice chronographs on bracelets - quartz movements

There's a lot more not limited to these brands as well - I'm sure other people can recommend you something nice. I've excluded models not on a bracelet - but if you change your mind you can also look through Citizen and Bulova's offerings.

Here's the current buying guide on $0-$250 watches.

If you really like the MVMT, just buy it, but do so knowing what you're actually getting. The particular model you linked has a chronograph but doesn't even have markings on the subdials, so the chronograph is kinda pointless - how can you tell which dial is which?

u/ehsu · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

For about the same price, I'd rather have a Seiko or Orient. I don't know much about watches, but I get the sense that Invicta has a somewhat negative reputation among those who do (i.e., the folks on /r/watches).

u/nickbass95 · 2 pointsr/Watches

Well, with that in mind, check out this, this, and this. You could probably put a green bezel diver together for less than 175 if you look around at used SKX007s. If functionality isn't important, the Sea Urchin runs around $130 (or a hair more with Prime 2 day shipping), couple that with the last bezel and you'd be at a little over $150.

Yobokies also has some green bezels. If you hunt around his site I'm sure you can find more.

u/west90403 · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Rolex is an awesome watch. If you want to get something similar looking without breaking the bank, you could look into the Seiko Sea Urchin. The style is similar to the classic Rolex Submariner design and Seiko makes good watches. Gear Patrol did a review of this watch. You can read it here. I own this watch and it looks very good in person. Recommend without reservations.

u/Sir-Mustache · 2 pointsr/CopOrNot

What do you think about the Seiko 5? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IBF15Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nEyFxb92R1Q98 really solid watch and keeps time great, just doesn't stay wound that long. It won't be a problem if you wear it everyday.

u/LogicWavelength · 1 pointr/Watches

In looking around Amazon for a standard Seiko 5, such as the Seiko SNZF17 (aka Sea Urchin) or the SNZG15 (it's the penultimate Seiko 5), I stumbled across this. It's the SNZH59. It's black. I think this is what you really wanted.

I will just warn you that especially on the bracelet, the black will wear off, exposing the raw silver-colored metal.

u/mansog · 1 pointr/Watches

the Seiko SNZF1, Seiko SNN233 and Seiko SNZJ41 are all great sporty style watches in that range

u/killybliiy · 1 pointr/Watches

Could someone advise me on which of these two watches would be better:

Seiko 5 SNZF17
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IBF15Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A1M5EIC3PTHQ2U

Or

Orient Ray Blue
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orient-21-Jewel-Automatic-Rubber-EM6500CD/dp/B008G39NFG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450387700&sr=8-1&keywords=Orient+%22Blue%22+Ray

I plan to change the strap so that doesn't make a difference, I'm also not planning to actually go diving with either of them so it's more about the looks. I however don't know anything about watch quality or watch movements and the online reviews weren't really conclusive.

u/smallerthan · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

There are a number of Seiko 5s with a similar look. They're tough and reliable.

u/rolandontheriver · 1 pointr/Watches

I'm looking at buying a Seiko dive watch to start my collection and for the life of me cannot find any differences between these two watches outside of the model year. If someone could give me some input or tell me why I should spend the extra money that would be greatly appreciated

Model 1

Model 2

$180 can definitely get you something decent. Where would you wear it? Are we talking an office setting, something casual with t-shirt and jeans? Something that can get beaten up outdoors or you can rock at the gym?

Lots of ideas out there, but it's like saying "What kind of shoes should I buy for $180?" -- really depends on what you're wearing them for!

A few popular ones:

The Casio "Duro". Known for it's classic design, can be worn on all kind of straps, and Casio is a well-respected manufacturer of quality affordable watches. It's also water resistant to 200m, which means you can take it literally anywhere and it'll operate like a champ.

If you want an upgraded version of the Casio, this Seiko is well-loved in the watch community and, if you spend a few dollars to get it serviced every 5 years or so at a local watch shop, will easily last you the rest of your life. Classic divers watch with a handsome metal band, and will pair well with any outfit short of a black-tie event. It doesn't take a battery either, because it's automatic!

Finally, if you don't care about water resistance and want something that will pair with any kind of "everyday" activities, consider the Braun. It's a great design because it's not flashy or too fancy, but will quietly just WORK with whatever you're wearing: suit, t-shirt, date night, bar night, whatever. Comes in black too.

u/woofj · 1 pointr/Watches

Hi! I’ve never owned a “nicer” watch, I’m really interested in the Seiko 5 SNZF17, but I’m confused as to why prices are so drastically different wherever I look. Like here and here.
I just want to make sure I’m getting the right product. Thanks!

u/Master_Blender · 1 pointr/Watches

Is amazon the best place to buy the seiko sea urchin? It's 160 there, but can I find it cheaper anywhere else? https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Black-Stainless-Automatic-SNZF17/dp/B001IBF15Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466961992&sr=8-1&keywords=seiko+snzf17

u/nerfdude · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

If anybody wants something similar... i have this Seiko ("Sea Urchin") for sale. Just not my style. Comes with the original stainless band, a brown leather band, and a black/gray NATO strap. I think I still have the original box as well and the extra links.

u/BigRed2723 · 1 pointr/Watches

I am looking for a recommendation on a new watch to get. I normally wear a Moto 360 smart watch to class, but have several other watches that I wear. If I'm not wearing my smart watch I usually wear a Timex Weekender or a Bulova. I am looking to spend $150 or less on something that I can wear casually or dress up. I have seen many people here talking about the Seiko 5, and I particularly like the SNZF17 model found here:

https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Black-Stainless-Automatic-SNZF17/dp/B001IBF15Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485202767&sr=8-1&keywords=seiko+dial+5

However I am not aware of the difference between that one and this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNZF17-Automatic-Stainless-Steel-Bracelet/dp/B006ITF0YS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485203438&sr=8-2&keywords=seiko+dial+5+snzf17

Even though the latter is $50 more. I like this specific model because it reminds me of the Rolex Submariner, but i can actually afford it. I also like the Invicta 8926OB found here

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=invicta+8926ob&sprefix=invicta+8%2Caps%2C188&crid=30BB7AXHLO9AV&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ainvicta+8926ob

But I have heard poor reviews of Invicta watches, even though I have heard good things about that specific model. I guess I would like someone better versed in wtches to point me in the right direction for what I am looking for.
