- Is the Seiko Speedtimer SSC911 the best Daytona Alternative? The Seiko Speedtimer solar chronograph can be found under $500 but has one major flaw against it.
You won't just go out and buy a $25 21mm leather strap you like? If that is the case... There is more than just the very very very typical poor bracelet(so par for the course with Seiko it's funny you even mention it anymore) that is preventing you from buying the watch. If you truly loved the watch you'd just buy a strap and enjoy the heck out of it.
There’s just nothing wrong with that bracelet 🙄
It’s a beautiful watch and a steal for $400-$500. I’ve had killer luck with my SRPD and SRPE watches, perfect time and great QC. I’ve had much more expensive watches from Junghans and Hamilton and Tissot, but I keep coming back to Seiko.
Uncle straps make a replacement clasp piece for this watch that gives an extra micro adjustment hole, does the job although it's a bit more rattle-y than the Seiko one
Great video 👍
But that’s actually the first time I hear that sapphire doesn’t have any reflections…
I could live with the bracelet and micro adjustments, but I can not stand the 24 hour dial on the right. It is so useless. And it is not this particular watch problem only. 😢
I was thinking about one of these for my next watch but noticed the lack of micro adjust on the clasp. Not so sure about it now.🤔
Just get a better strap. There are a plethora out there.
Just add a rally strap there
also 1/2 links ...
The stupid 24 hour subdial ruins it.
Good review. Seiko lost my business years ago. Their QC is atrocious.
Totally fails….fashion watch 24 hr. dial……….just worthless. Give me quality quartz with a 12 hr. dial & a 30 minute totalizer, NOT 60 minutes which is very hard to read even in light turbulence. Good review, Thanks
There should be an alrm function instead of the 34h subdial. Actually, they should bring the Flighmaster back. The one with the white dial with blue subdial and with solar. I also think the hands should actually be framed in flat black. The chrono second hand minute hands should be fluorescent orange because red is too dark in my opinion.
Great review, Thanks! I’ll follow you to know more before buy my watches. 😊 👍
@@jessedba5886 enjoy your watch 👍👍
2024 and they're still using pin & collar. Pathetic. No wonder companies such as San Martin are slaughtering Seiko for quality and specifications. And value!
Uncle Seiko has a 3 micro adj. for these 18mm
Not that I am much of a chronograph person. The overall pricing and QC issues at Seiko have killed the brand for me. Still, this seems like a nice effort. Shame about the bracelet though.
Shame they missed up on certain parts, Seiko drops the ball on many watches alas.
Would it fit an 8'' wrist?
Good
Why do people expect anything other than the substandard fayre Seiko have pumped out for the last 10 years? Especially where their woeful bracelets are concerned.
It's because of this BS 'heritage' which is somehow supposed to be important.
According to their pricing Seiko unbelievably believe they should be placed on the same level as Hamilton, Tissot or Christopher Ward... Seriously?
They are absolutely nowhere near those stella brands.
Seiko should be pricing themselves against AliExpress brands because that's where their quality and materials used places them.
