Excellent video. Seen it late! I'm also a bit of a Seiko fanboy and unlike many people, I dive with my dive watches!! Yes, the crystal scratches on coral, sand and rock on the ocean bottom. The sapphire on the Heimdallr doesn't. Now for the good news!!....I also got the red Heimdallr Monster last March and was impressed. I took it down to 80 metres on a dive holiday in Fetihye, Turkey (great dive spot) a few weeks ago and the Heimdallr handled it with flying colours. I can't vouch for the 200m on the dial, I've never gone much over 100 metres but comparing the interior gasket fit on the Heimdallr to the Seiko's, I think it will likely handle the same depth, in fact around the crown, the Heimdallr gasket looks a bit more robust than on the Seiko, though that might be because the gap is a bit wider. Btw, dive extensions are useful I suppose, but most divers swap out the bracelet for a rubber strap anyway. So I would trust the Heimdallr as a dive computer backup......at least to 100m . Just subscribed btw!
Great content Mike. I can see your channel doing very well, well put together and detailed. I have always wanted a monster but the prices they are now are way beyond my budget. These Chinese watches are an excellent alternative IMO. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you for your comparison! I own a Seiko Monster black, first gen. I think it's a great watch for the money. After watching your video, I need an Heimdallr too. :-)
Wonderful review/comparison. I've got the first gen. Monster (in black) and I just purchased the blue Heimdallr. I absolutely agree... The Seiko is ISO certified, but as you say, if you are not a diver, the Heimdallr is a very nice choice. I especially love the sapphire crystal and I wonder if I could buy one for my original Monster... are they the same exact size ? Will have to check that when Heimdallr arrives....If so I could try to find one....That would be a nice upgrade to my 9 years old Seiko.... Is it only me or Chinese have already surpassed Japanese in low cost watches ? I remember 10 years ago, if you asked advice for a watch not expensive, but very good value....Seiko Citizen and Orient was the only answer in forum etc. Now....Heimdallr, San Martin...Steeldive... Oh....I just wonder if they really are waterproof....not to 200m....I don't dive....so no way to make use of it....but....are they really safe for the beach, swimming pool etc. ? And I really mean swimming....not just putting it underwater....but moving your arms fast inside/outside the water, putting some pressure on the watch at different angles. By the way....I suscribed , keep up the good fun / job ! (I also collect many many watches....from cheap to super expensive, the last ones as a saving form)
Got my red Heimdallr a couple of days ago... been wearing it ever since. It's an amazing watch, very, very happy with it. For the price, this beats Seiko hands down.
Yes, sometimes the Heimdallr's bite, but they look better on those corners. Never bad enough to make you bleed but they are sharp. I still prefer my Seikos but Heimdallr has done a fantastic job on these. I gave a black Heimdallr monster to a coworker today and now I need to grab another one.
Bought the red 1 because of the watch itself. Pure no emotion purchase of a monstrous quality time piece with a low price tag. After watching videos of it can't wait to wear the watch. Thank you for the video! (I'm a Seiko Kinetic owner.)
Well done Mike. Nice video. Great to see all of those Monsters side by side. The Heimdallr bezel looked flat where the Seiko's looked slightly dished.. That's the impression I get. I was going to ask if you'd do a review of the Aragons 😁. I was surprised at that price. Looks like a great watch for the money. Onwards and upwards.. good luck with the videos. Great quality I'm sure will appreciated widely 👍
The scallop on the HEIMDALLR bezel is actually identical to the one on the Seiko. Thanks for checking out the vid! Definitely stick around for the Aragon Video, I'll try to make it as informative as possible.
Seiko homage watches are definitely becoming more and more popular. I've been collecting homage watches for a few years and I'm always looking for a well spec'd watch. I love the design of the older Seiko Monsters but they are out of my price range. I was very happy to run across the Heimdallr monster. There aren't many video's on RUclips about it and yours is the only direct head to head comparison that I have run across. I should have my new "H-Monster" in a few weeks. I'll let you know how it plays out. Thanks for the information. Cheers! Oh yeah, I almost forgot , "SUBCRIBED"
Thanks for the view and sub man. Stay tuned next couple vids are gonna be fun/informative. Full Aragon brand analysis coming along with a "what the hell happened to seiko"
Excellent review - thanks for pointing out the fine details of each watch - things I would never have noticed myself. Subscribed and good luck with the channel!
Really appreciate the side by side comparison. I was actually comparing the Baby Monster to the Sharkey and for me in the UK that's a difference of £100. The bonus for me is that the Heimdallr looks virtually identical to the Seiko, plus they are available in different colours. Issue now is what colour to choose.
@@lelok0958 when I tried they were out of stock (phew)...so bought a Baby Monster instead (shakes head), knowing full well that I'll also purchase the red when in stock! lol
I feel pretty good about ordering the heimdallr now. Its like one of those rolex or patek knock offs that's so good you start to question if buying the genuine article is worth it.
Nice video dude, based on your review I am still not going to get one of these Heimdallr's, just not for me and don't think it would sit nice in my monster collection, maybe I am too die hard lol cheers again
I appreciate you checking the vid out, and yeah in the end if you have a full collection of seiko monsters i would say at that point you gain nothing by getting these Heimdallrs. The only thing to remember is that there's an entire group of folks that have long since missed out on the affordable Seiko period. Nowadays seiko's are vastly more expensive and even their simple models are out of a lot of people's price ranges. These watches are an incredible alternative to achieve the style and functionality without the cost. I do intend on making a seiko oriented video at some point as well. The plan is to explore how they've changed over the last 10 years or so. Should be an interesting video. Subscribe if you wanna hear my view on them ☺️.
Nice job! This one has some great utility for folks that haven't yet purchased one, that is for sure. My pre-order orange Heimdallr is still in the mail... Hey, though: turn up the lights! 😎
My first gen Orange Monster has never had its seals replaced, I would not dive with it because I don't want it ruined, I will pick up a Heimdallr, it looks really nice.
Aragon used to be Android. I have one with T100 tritium tubes! Great watch, just a little too big for my taste so I rarely wear it. If they would do watches in 40mm, then that would be the shiznick!
You can really easily polish the scratch out with polywatch glass polish and a buff wheel in a drill or Dremel. I have done it and only takes a few minutes.
Right... Not really the point tho, seiko needs to get their act together. The new monsters are still rocking hardlex crystals in a world of sapphire. For $350 they need to do better.
Half my collection are Seiko's but they are slacking off. So I have a bunch of Heimdallr's as well. The red one is still on it's way. Truth be told I have mixed experiences with them. I bought a bronze Tuna from them (my first Heimdallr) it broke within 24hrs (stuck hour hand). They exchanged it but that meant I paid twice for shipping and taxes. Then I ordered a 6105 (Willard) which was/is fine except there is no way I can get the metal band back on there (way to tight) so I'm forced to wear it on a rubber waffle. Still, after that I ordered a SBDX001 with the Seagull movement. That was great until the hour hand came loose and flopped around. So yet again I have to have it repaired (again shipping/tax). While my SBDX001 was still working, I ordered a red monster from Heimdallr ($149 early bird). I hope it does not fail me as well. Heimdallr posted on Facebook they are literally only 4(!) people. Let that sink in for a minute. So yeah, I love their designs and all that but their QC and service is a bit iffy! Ps: I also ordered a last gen Monster this week for €350. Its the limited black Monster, SRPD29 should arrive next week (now I just need to figure out how to get that square cyclops of it).
Seiko, Hardlex, hollow end links, pressed clasp, no hacking and hand winding. Heimdallr, solid end links, milled clasp, sapphire, NH35 movement. Heimdallr has better bezel action. Heimdallr fraction of Seiko price.
All 100% true. But in seiko's favor dont forget about market value, name recognition, and ISO rating. Some people care about those things. I for one don't. But you have to factor it in.
@@metalmike105 you are right about brand recognition and residual value. An ISO rating is only certification of the rating, but that doesn't mean an uncertified watch won't match up. Anyway, who's going diving with either anyway. Thanks for the review
Fantastic! Except your video is going to cost me $179 as now I gotta go buy one. 😟. Damn it! Video looks way better now in landscape! You may want to consider more light, but other than that looks/sounds fine.
The Heimy mk1 Skx had that same pip , rectified to a much cooler looking 1-2mm pip on the v2 .I'm surprised they made that mistake again also on the site it says its a steeldive strap ? Mine arrives soon and I'm still excited !

Had an older phone that didn't have macro. I don't use iPhones. Never will. I did however just get a new phone that does all that stuff.
Seems every brand has own Skmei ;D
