You set the date once then use the quick set on months that need it. It really serves no purpose other than something easy to use to fill in on a subdial. Anyway I think most of us find it useless.
@@Roughdraft214 lol i use my 24 hour hand just to be aware of the day and night scenario if im on a diff country especially if time zones does matter to you. Still 24hr hand helps me track hours especially if im on a closed office not worrying looking out on a window.
I agree.... so I bought one last year. Perfect addition to the collection. You want a great new watch.... Citizen Zenshin Chronographs.... Eco Drive..Titanium... $400.00 !!
5:30 I generally do not care about chronographs at all (main interests is divers), but that is beautiful. Definately the best colorway. Today, I got my Seikomariner Hulk solar ISO diver 💪
Yes it is 😊 And I’m with you, I’m not that into chronos as well. In my personal opinion it’s mostly a useless complication. But there’s something special about this one. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
I have both 813 and 911 but I got more compliment with the 911 and its better on hand. The iterations of red hands looks like a vintage sports car speedometer so sporty and classy well you can have both.
Is the watch having a quartz movement really a negative here? A mechanical movement would make the watch thicker and double the price while also making it far less accurate, more fragile, and require expensive maintenance every few years. I love mechanical watches, but everything that makes this watch great (dial design aside) is made possible by the solar quartz movement inside.
I got a 911 today. One link out of the bracelet and a micro adjustment got me a perfect fit. It was only after looking at the watch for a while that it occurred to me that face was actually (pale) silver instead of white. I wonder if Seiko did that because the hour markers on the 911 are now (luminous) white - instead of black as on the smaller version? There would be little contrast if the face was white too. It all comes down to personal taste, but the combination of black, silver, white and red supplementary hands works for me. The solar power should be ideal for me because I ‘ring the changes’ - I use the facilities of an Apple Watch Ultra - and I still like my Seiko 5 - so six months of power reserve in the 911 should be great. It has the feel of a mechanical watch to me. The 911 seems a great buy at 590 UK pounds. I am pleased with my purchase.
I purchased the SSC911 a couple of months ago and am very happy with. It's my first "real" watch and I hope to collect a few others. Currently looking at the Seiko SPB381. Thank for the video!
They seem to use sapphire on the more expensive models. Everything below $500 is still hardlex though 😞 Haha. I don’t know man. Maybe it’s because the arm itself has so many colors so black and white breaks it up a little? 🤷♂️ Anyway, thanks for watching man 🙏
I was tempted by both of these models, but really didn't care for the slab sides (I had an SSC817), then I discovered the JDM SBPY165. This is a Seiko solar chronograph that is very similar to the models in this video but with a more refined case and more elegant dial. The SBPY165 is 42x12x46, has virtually the same specifications other than no power meter, and is considerably more affordable. Anyone interested in a "panda" Speedtimer should really check out the SBPY165.
I have the older one with the yellow textured dial face. I was on the fence, because I just bought a prospex diver with the black waffle dial face. I ALWAYS wanted a Samurai. After watching…. You made me spend another 500 bucks. 🤓😝🤓 I ADORE my older one. Even the cons that people point out don’t bother me in the slightest. The MOST comfortable watch I own. I even love the bracelet. LOVE this line. The Seiko Steven McQueen line…
im after the 911, been checking around to buy it and i already found the 813 and seemed very small.... want to check it just to buy it, but its a beauty
It's always bothered me that the most important subdial, the chrono minutes one, is the smallest on the 813! The smallest subdial should've been the useless 24 hour subdial.
Cara 😂 eu pensei que assistir seu video de comparação seria mais fácil pra mim, e eu estava decido a comprar o antigo, mas agora simplesmente fiquei louco pelo 911, e agora? 😅 Belíssimo vídeo de comparação, ganhou mais um inscrito! Parabéns e um forte abraço do Brasil !
I dont belive they make mistake sending you old version, this old one didnt sell well after new one show up. They count that you will like old model and do not complain. How to make mistake when model number is totally diferent, you cant! Or maybe you order just white panda with black chrono? Then I belive they can miss that. Some shops they never sent by mistake more expensive and popular watch, some how that must be always cheaper and les demand one haha. glad that you make it a win for your self.
Definitely a mistake, that one sold out fast, they were goin on eBay for over $1000, so people were waiting for A Ds to get more in stock I just don’t think they would send the wrong one on purpose
FYI, they were being nice. The Mako is nothing like this watch. I am an owner of the SSC911 (chronograph) and the Orient Kamasu (Diver). The Mako is a diver style watch. Not all watches are the same and people buy watches they like. Only shallow people like you care about 1/3 the price for a style of a watch. I hope you grow up. gg
24 hours hand is not useless. It makes setting DATE much easier and lots of people didn't know and understand it.
On a mecca quartz never have to set though only the slightest adjustments few times a year.

Like you said, everyone has their own opinion but I like the 813 more. White vs silver dial, and 20mm lugs vs 21mm.
I can’t get past the smaller center sub dial.
Both good but…..
Highly agree 💯
I agree.... so I bought one last year. Perfect addition to the collection. You want a great new watch.... Citizen Zenshin Chronographs.... Eco Drive..Titanium... $400.00 !!
The 911 is killer. Absolutely love mine. Looks more expensive than it is and that hit of red and lumen is on point...
Quartz is the way to go. Thanks Seiko. The older model is nicer.
Imo the 39 looks better but the 41 has complete lume. So yeah ill go with the 39 cuz i dont need lume on a chrono watch.
Thanks for sharing this... I was about the buy the wrong one as well. Huge thanks from Brazil 🇧🇷

I like the 41mm speed timer better because the sub dials are the same diameter .
Very nice video. I was hoping your video would make it easier for me to choose between the 2. But it just made it harder .
Hehe, sorry 🤷♂️ But thanks for watching 😊
I have both 813 and 911 but I got more compliment with the 911 and its better on hand. The iterations of red hands looks like a vintage sports car speedometer so sporty and classy well you can have both.
I was confused but your comment helped me to decide and go for 911
Thx buddy ❤

I have the smaller one but the limited edition blue dial. Gorgeous!
Excellent comparison. Subscribed !

I prefer the 813. Compared both side by side, and thought the 813 looked sharper. Great video!
Bägge är snygga men jag gillar inte datumfönstren heller, önskar dom skippat funktionen helt faktiskt. Bra jämföringsvideo👍🏼
Håller med, hade varit bättre utan 👍 Tack för att du tittade på videon och kul att du gillade den 😊
Is it me or is the one you like (the bigger one) not as white dial as the one you’re returning??
I love 813P better , Have 911 and the 909 limited edition but i love the 813 more
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of NKUWAN . Their timepieces are of exceptional quality.

Both watches are beautiful 😍👌
Love the one with the red hands too. Glad Seiko is using sapphire now. Another thing, why do black and white watches look so good on you?

But the older model has a good proportion for its size and shape, the new ones case looks overlapped

Hehehe, sorry about that. But it´s 500 well spent bucks at least 😀 Thanks for watching 🤛

Where did you purchase this from? And how much discount off MSRP you would say its a great deal ?
I purchased it from a swedish AD. And I´d say about 20-25% would be a good discount 😃
Thanks for watching 🙏
It's always bothered me that the most important subdial, the chrono minutes one, is the smallest on the 813! The smallest subdial should've been the useless 24 hour subdial.
39mm is daytona inspired. The 41mm is zenith inspired.
I can't decide to get one or the other, so I'm gonna get both.
I like the smaller one better for size and the look of the dial.

PS: Agora vou ter que arrumar uma confusão com minha esposa e comprar ambos! 😂
Love the 813, 811 has a fat bezel, personally don't like.
Moc hezké detailní video👍👍👍
ur wrist size?
It´s in the video. Always in the videos 🤗
The whole reason I would pick the 911 over the old one is the bezel shape.
i love all 911 variations
The 911 has a silver dial, not white.
You´re right, thanks for watching and commenting👍
Greatly prefer the 813
I would get the 813 if it was bigger and had lume on all the markers
813 just because it looks like Rolex Daytona White Dial Panda
I like the 911, but with there was a panda version. not a fan of the silver face.
I dont belive they make mistake sending you old version, this old one didnt sell well after new one show up. They count that you will like old model and do not complain.

One crown, 2 pushers. Not three crowns. Enjoyed the vid! Say NO to pins & collars, not at this price point. Needs screws please.
You’re right. I said it wrong 😊 Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked the video 🙏
I prefer pins and collars don't understand the hate. Not that bad to set and better than push pins or screws that can come loose they are very secure
Mine is in the way! Thanks and subscribed!
I prefer the design of the new one but the proportions are huge. Is to big.
For the price point, this watch must like the company itself speaks for itself. The Japanese do everything with dignity and class.
813 is a way way better than yours) How it can be superior model if there is a disbalance in proportions and bezel at least
I really don’t understand your comment but still thank you for watching and commenting 😊
The panda is just plain now. Everyone is copying that and its way over played now
Du är skitgrym! Fortsätt göra videos
Both great, 813 is just a woman size. 911 men size.
it depends on your wrist size i think..
@@iWandering I have a small 16cm wrist size, trust me...
@@iWandering100%
Older model looks nicer
Meh on these.
These watches seem to be over priced as the movement is solar quartz.
Orient Mako. Similar design, 1/3 the price
There are many cheaper watches out there yes. So if someone is collecting only based on price, this is not the best option :) Thanks for watching.
Seiko do have cheaper variation for this

@@cjoy36 i thought they meant not a typical orient diver, but rather a mako 3 chrono panda which is a mix of a diver AND chronograph both
