Got an email from Watch Direct this afternoon, they've started their Boxing Day sales early. This popular chrono was the first one that stood out as being a decent price. Next closest are Watson's Jewellers and Starbuy, both at $825.

Note: to get the final price you need to remove the frivolous 'Shipping Protection' from the cart that WD insist on adding to every single order. I had to edit the price in the title as well because the 'Shipping Protection' seems to fluctuate for reason (I saw it as high as $41 and as low as $19.50 on a single item).

Full specs:

  • Case Diameter: 41.4mm
  • Case Thickness: 13.3mm
  • Case Material: Stainless Steel
  • Movement: V192 Quartz Solar Power
  • Strap: Stainless Steel
  • Buckle: Push Button Clasp
  • WR: 100m
  • Warranty: Seiko 3 Year
This is part of Boxing Day Sales for 2024

    Yoooooo this looks like a great price

    • Chazzozz on 16/12/2024 - 16:48

      Could have got for 699 if the Shiels vouchers weren't expired quickly, usually a BS or full price on their website.

      Wouldn't mind if 39mm but the panda is more versatile, not worth paying silly prices for a different colour).

    I reckon the marketing team forgot who their target demographic was when they used the tagline " The Shane Macgowan of watches!"

        He could eat an apple through a chain wire fence that lad. lol

        • G-rig on 16/12/2024 - 18:56

          Eat an apple through a tennis racquet is the metaphor I think..

  • kolorijo on 16/12/2024 - 17:11

    Finally a more realistic price for this watch.

  • tonyjzx on 16/12/2024 - 18:08

    is the 3 o'clock register a 24hr am/pm indicator?

    the problem i see with this line is that you're not too far off from an eta 7750 which is your next huge step up

    • G-rig on 16/12/2024 - 18:29

      Those movements are $138 from AliExpress (and not solar). It's about the whole package. Sure, a 24h sub-register isn't the best but still useful and balances out the dial.

  • shutuptakemymoney101 on 16/12/2024 - 18:51

    Why is it called 'The Pogue' ? Not an Irish thing I suppose.

      In the rear with the gear!!!

        lol, I understand that meaning but it wouldn't make sense for Seiko to call their watch a pogo. Maybe 'REMF' would have been a better name to call it?

      colonel William pogue wore the original Seiko 6139 Chronograph into space and it got nick named the pogue

      Colonel William Pogue Was an American astronaut who wore one to Skylab in 1973. He wasn’t supposed to, Omega Speedmasters were the only NASA-certified timepieces but he’d been using his Seiko 6139 chronometer through all his training so he k ew & trusted it. He snuck it into the mission by hiding it in a leg pocket of his space suit. Since then, Speedtomers with the distinctive yellow colourway are known as ‘The Pogue’.

    Very interesting to learn the history of the name, thank you both for the information.
