IT’s a SPECTACULAR WATCH

5 out of 5 stars

IT’s a SPECTACULAR WATCH
I am passionate about mechanical watches, I was afraid to purchase this watch through the APP, and I had a great surprise, first that the watch is beautiful, it was perfect, and it wears well and is comfortable, ideal size, great view, it is a watch of very high quality, very careful and pure luxury. another very important point was the care and promptness of the supplier, the watch arrived in excellent condition, it was very well packed, all documentation was sent, manual, history of the watch and authenticity certificate, exquisite. The only negative point was that as soon as I bought the watch the price dropped, this does not diminish the high quality and cost-effectiveness of the product.

    This is an outstanding watch! A typical mechanical watch for under $1000 needs to be reset each day if you want the time to +/- 20 seconds or so for the rest of the day. My experience after 8 days has been no error greater than 7 seconds after the initial setting on the second day. To save space, I'll just list the pluses and minuses.
    PRO: Looks good, sapphire crystal, outstanding accuracy, shows day of month, bright lume, waterproof with screw down crown, 70-hour power reserve, it is automatic – it does not eat up batteries, you don't have to wind it, but if you need to you can wind it rather than swing it to activate the self-winding mechanism, it seems rugged as an "Alpinist" should be.
    CON: it is heavy, it is a little thick.

    I have this Seiko and bought it for its beauty but like another person mentioned on here it doesnt keep the time accurate at all. I have the black face hamilton on here also and I keep both watches in a auto winding watch box and as days pass, the hamilton will be perfect while my seiko could be 7 hours off. Im not sure what is wrong with it.

    Seikos are beautiful, and this watch in particular is gorgeous.
    But Seiko movements are horribly imprecise, and they drift (diverge) making regulation an exercise in futility. This watches are sold as “unregulated” and I’ve read they come from the factory without proper lubrication ad with low amplitudes hence the drifting. I don’t know if it is true (the lubrication part, I can attest the low amplitude bit is true) but at this price point Seiko’s performance is unacceptable, and subpar when compared to other watch makers offerings.
    My old Seiko 5s with the 7S26c movement (a cheaper non-hacking, non-winding movement) don’t drift and can be regulated to single digits precision, and they cost dramatically less. I have 2 watches with this movement, and my 3 kids each have one, so I do have a lot of experience owning and regulating Seikos.
    The two (2) Seiko Alpinists I bought for me and my wife both drift, and are terribly imprecise. And each costs over $600. The 6r35 movement is simply a huge dissapointment.
    It is supposed to be better than the 7s26c but it performs way, way, way worse, and in my experience, as it comes from the factory, is impossible to regulate as it drifts. Perhaps paying a full service and getting a watchmaker to disassemble, lubricate and put together the movement will make it perform as it is supposed to, but that will cost 150 to 200 dollars, and this is are new watches that should NOT require service.
    And to make things worse, Seiko is placing it in watches that cost over USD$1000.
    I will NEVER buy another Seiko. Orient, on the other hand, offers low cost watches, and each one I’ve bought offers excellent performance and great precision, some even stay within COSC specs (-4 to +6 seconds per day). The same goes for Hamilton, Tissot, Certina, Mido… at this price point, there’s a lot to choose from, both in looks as well as in performance.
    Seikos became the bimbos of the watch industry. Great looks, but not a lot of substance. Stay away.

    Bracelet is attractive with brushed and gloss metal.
    Size is compact and stylish.
    Dial is gorgeous as are the second, minute and hour hands.

    The dial is not only unique, and lovely to look at but the ability to tell the time at a glance is outstanding. This is one of my favorite everyday watches.

    This is an example of what quality in a watch is about. From the dial, to the hands, to the case and bracelet; everything is well done. This has become my daily wearer while more expensive watches remain in the drawer.

    Secret Alpinist details!

    This dial has a rope pattern texture that is so detailed you’d miss it in the pictures. In real life it’s amazing! A great daily watch with good adventure specs! Be careful with the 19mm lug width though. Not the best for strap options but the bracelet is decent enough.

    Pas à la hauteur de la réputation Seiko

    Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2025

    très belle montre, mais après seulement deux ans elle a commencé à s'arrêter toute seule .
    C'est la première fois qu'une Seiko me fait défaut ainsi. Je crois que le mouvement 6R35 est en cause.
    Parfois il est même difficile de la remonter manuellement, la couronne est dure à tourner même si la montre
    n'a plus aucune réserve de marche. Depuis un mois elle est inutilisable ce qui est décevant pour une montre de ce prix.
    Elle s'arrête à tout bout de champ et se remet parfois en route quand on la bouge un peu.
    Je suis au Canada et la garantie stipule n'être valable qu'au Japon.
    Je vais tenter de la faire réparer chez un revendeur autorisé si cela n'est pas hors de prix…
