Not many other watches come close to the unique aesthetic offered by Seiko's coutura range IMO.
Are Seiko Coutura Watches The Most Sleek Looking Watches Available?
Comments
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.
Let me know when you get your 40mm Diver Style Baller. Interested to hear what you think. Looks sleek man.
@WatchNerd: Still in China according to the tracking
Ive got a phone i just check the time on it. Just saved myself $300.
The space you saved on your wrist now features, what? A friendship bracelet?
@Speckled Jim: Think of all that freed up real estate…
@pegaxs: If idle hands are the devil's plaything,
what do we make of bare wrists?
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?
They do look overrepresented on Cash Convertors
Actually i sold it 2nd hand for about half retail price.
i prefer the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime
Are you loaded or what bro?
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.
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.
Best not to worry what other people think and just buy what you like because you're the one who'll be wearing it.
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.
SBGD201 is way cleaner looking than that
@2025: Not a big fan of the plain white dials.
That's different to what you first wrote and it's not a coutura. It's a grand seiko and worth 50x what OP likes.
@MS Paint: I would get this (can you believe it's a) Coutura if:
• it's a bargain
• it was under 50mm L2LIt's often the bracelet that spoils an otherwise okay watch.
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)
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".
it's all subjective, buy what you like!
good post
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"
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!
@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
Also, what's wrong wiff westfield?
You'll be fine if you're wearing a Seiko Coutura
A wannabe at a wannabe Westfield.
Bloody mainlanders and their slopping centre ways…
stopped at the watch display at the shops this morning….
wow. these are something to behold in person! just wow!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.
Lol. You don't give up trying so I give you credit for that.
I have personally never seen a nice coutura.
