Nice…big 46.7mm case.
These don't wear big and actually pretty good due to the short lug to lug.
Still can't see how some of these colorways are so expensive, got the navy one for $209.
PS these solar watches keep great time, within about 1s after a month or something.. 3h of Sun meant to keep it charged 8-12 months.
There's the mini and micro for smaller wrists (but is a different model and not on special)
I'm keeping my eyes open for a mini which would suit my wrists better.Mini turtle would be good, never really on special or mentioned much.
Honestly, these don't wear as big as they look for to the bezel/shroud design, particularly with the dark bezels. Prob worth trying one on anyway.
Looks great but how come almost all Seiko watches mentioned here still use Hardlex mineral glass instead of Sapphire glass? Even a $250 fossil watch is using Sapphire glass.
Seiko doesn't really use Sapphire glass, even in the ~$400 range, from what I can tell…
The excuse is that sapphire is more likely to shatter.
Hardlex scratches very easily in my experience and I will never buy another
Because in most applications sapphire isn't a great material. It's very brittle and shatters on impact. So it's slight improvement in scratch resistance over hardlex isn't very useful if it shatters.
I know what you're thinking, but it's so it scratches not smashes, particularly good for the divers.
I still don't rate their proprietary hardlex, mostly because for the money they charge their $700 dress watches really should be sapphire.
Anyway on watches like the tuna I don't think you'd notice and it's fine.
What movements do fossil use, more of a fashion watch brand
Easily modded in if it matters that much to you. Namoki does them for $65

Plenty of good mods for Seiko..
Just upgrade to sapphire if/even it gets scratched (or get some poly glass paste).
I think this combo looks nicer
agree but $100 nicer?
they all similar enoughTrust me, buy it in the colour you love over price.
I've done the opposite being a cheapskate many times and have ALWAYS REGRETTED IT.
@Deadalready: Yeah mate, that's pretty solid advice. Buy right the first time.
As far as colourways though, it's like shoes - not exactly worth paying double sometimes.I was never a big fan of the tuna, but I grabbed a navy one when it was $229 minus $20 email signup from Watch Depot, and glad I did . They are actually pretty cool and keep excellent time. I wear it in rotation with about 6-8 other watches, but if you were just buying one watch then prob worth getting the one you really want.
the ozbargain tuna. part-lumed bezel on this one although i wish seiko would do full-lumed bezels on the tunas.
these are solar as well
Dammit SZB….I got one of these before the $299 one got posted.
Don't feel bad the black with orange hands and patina lume is a special listed edition and looks really nice on the wrist.
Post it!
Wow this colour scheme is quite nice and looks quite readable
