Seiko tunacan6/6/2023 in my experience it fades after 45 minutes or so and quickly goes completely dark after two hours. The problem is that the lume does not last long. Sure it’s bright and is applied to various parts of the dial that make it visible at night. I’ve never looked back.Īnother quirk with this watch is the lume. In fact after trying to size it and successfully doing so, I wore it on bracelet at home for a few minutes and quickly decided to remove it and replace with a NATO and then the rubber strap. While the Seiko Prospex PADI has a lot to offer, especially at such an amazing price, it also has a lot to be desired. On NATO the total weight can go down to 112 grams, adding to wearability. One in navy blue that matches the dial and one in the red/blue combination. Other wearable options are the many NATO straps that you can match this watch with. The case lug-to-lug is smaller than expected which means the rubber strap will need to flex more than usual. The problem is that unless the rubber is very subtle (for example, made of high-quality caoutchouc), it will be hard on wrist. I wore it once and tabled it immediately. I initially purchased a straight third-party rubber strap. Especially since on the blue Seiko rubber it weights in a just 122 grams, from the 180 grams on the bracelet.Īs I mentioned, on rubber it’s super easy to wear but I would make sure to get the Seiko-branded rubber straps with articulated ends. The case is screwed down with recessed stamping of Seiko Tsunami logo on the back. The lugs are 22 mm and are drilled which makes changing the bracelet easy. It has the “turtle” shape with beveled corners and measures 45 mm wide and 13 mm high with lug-to-lug measurement of 52 mm. Part of what makes the Seiko PADI, and the entire Prospex line of Seiko watches, are the case design. Plus as mentioned above the quartz movement used is not one with any special technology other than being rechargeable with solar power. The model I could see from Seiko did none of that. Mainly because adding a chronograph to any watch makes the dial more complicated and you have to pay attention to balance the dial. It is listed at +/- 15 seconds per month.įinally, there are also the quartz models with chronograph. However, the quartz movement used is not compensated nor very accurate. It does include Solar technology to recharge the battery with the Sun or external lights, which makes it attractive as a contrasting model to the blue PADI. However, I have never had a chance to experience it in the metal. Unlike the blue models this one has a black and yellow dial.
