Are Seiko Coutura Watches The Most Sleek Looking Watches Available?

Not many other watches come close to the unique aesthetic offered by Seiko's coutura range IMO.

  • Lol. You don't give up trying so I give you credit for that.

    I have personally never seen a nice coutura.

      Theyre only like $300

        They wouldn't sell if they were too expensive. The only other person I know that loves couturas is a guy called John Beves on AAWF group on Facebook. Maybe you two should meet up.

        Ive got a phone i just check the time on it. Just saved myself $300.

  • IMO, no.

    Some models have decent features sets but I've never seen one that has appealed to me. Many of them are huge and have(IMO) a gaudy appearance.

  • I had a 2012 coutura, i have big wrists, so i find the band pinches, had to sell it.

      Thats why places like cash converters in full of coutura watches. Owners finally resign themselves that it's only worth $5 and cash converters is the only place that will pay up.

      • But they have sooooo many features in a sleek package - why would cash converters be the final destination for most couturas?

      • Actually i sold it 2nd hand for about half retail price.

  • +2

    i prefer the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime

  • +4

    Ugly looking things that range.

      excuse you

      • Sounds like you want approval to get one.
        I have never liked them and you asked for commentary, but go for it.

        They would go well with tuned airs.

      • +2

        It's your wrist. Don't look for others approval. If you think it looks 'sleek', wear it.

        But they are right, it's an ugly watch :)

        • Exactly. Imagine the number of threads if everyone asked what they think of this or that everytime they bought something

  • I like my watches and have collected quite a few through deals posted here (thought I was going to go broke buying watches at one point…) but this, sir, is a butt ugly range of watches, and could safely say that had any of these been posted as a deal, I still wouldn’t have bought it.

    Offering these watches up as “sleek” is a bit of a stretch, but if you like them, just get one, you don’t need random strangers on the internet telling you it’s ok to buy a watch that you like.

  • Since you are just talking about looks and not price, I like my Navitimer. Prettiest watch IMO.

  • +1

    Best not to worry what other people think and just buy what you like because you're the one who'll be wearing it.

  • +2

    buy what you like. id never wear that.

  • Not the best looking, the SGLA019 is my pick.

    • Any links. Not even Google can find it. Maybe the NSFW filter is blocking it.

    • Yes, for me it is a slimline one without the chronograph dial for a 'sleek' look OP is after.
      Probably something from Presage range.
      Sometimes, like the homepage of google, "less is more".

      (PS - Google found it for me @Muzeeb)

  • +2

    not a fan of the integrated bracelet look

    • To me, it just looks like a men's version of a ladies bracelet watch… Hardly "sleek".

  • +2

    it's all subjective, buy what you like!

  • Over-styled to within a thou of good taste, but whatever. A watch is a watch!

    As an aside, all these people with buyer's remorse will surely yield a bargain if you're smart/lucky. One tip: give CashCon a swerve.

  • I always thought that model looks super gaudy and is something a drug dealer would think is a good looking watch.

    The watch also screams "sold in a westfield"

    • +1

      That's pretty judgmental of you.

      for 300-400 dollars you get a lot of quality and features

      don't drug dealers wear rolexes?

        • Excuse you, but you're being very caustic right about now!

            • +1

              @SBOB: NO NEED TO BE SARCASTIC MATE, i'm in a very vulnerable state right about now, so I don't need some smart alec response from somebody on ozB!

              • @BargainHunterJohnnyB: they/them is just jealous of your wealth & taste. ignore them….they wear watches with cartoon characters on them

                • @franco cozzo: Thanks Franco. Agreed, I'm worthless and can't even afford a Mickey mouse watch.

                  Removing my posts as to not offend or distress someone clearly posting that they are in a vulnerable state.

                • @franco cozzo: I know what you mean.

                  Not everybody can rock a coutura with style

      • for 300-400 dollars you get a lot of quality

        That's up for debate

    • +1

      Also, what's wrong wiff westfield?

  • stopped at the watch display at the shops this morning….
    wow. these are something to behold in person! just wow!

    • +1

      I agree man, dunno who negged you.

      If they actually read the words, it didn't say you liked it, nor was it negative. Merely a double "wow"

      Maybe they bristle at that level of ambiguous diplomacy.
