Winner of the Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver watch shares his thoughts and some pictures of himself enjoying the watch. Thanks Jason and enjoy!

Words from the winner on this Seiko:

• “There is a lot to love in this watch, considering the retail price of $595: sapphire crystal, ratcheting clasp on the bracelet, a blackened-steel bezel, solid end-link bracelet, and a set it and forget it kinetic movement.
• The fit and feel of the case, bezel and bracelet are what you would expect from Seiko – solid.
• The design is a big plus – not a Submariner or Seamaster clone, but a unique design.
• The watch is big – bigger than I usually wear on my 6.5″ wrist (see the comparison shot with my Rolex GMTIIC); however, because of the downward angle of the lugs, I can still just barely pull it off without having the watch hang over the edges of my wrist.
• I had been looking for a nice, rugged, quartz diver to wear on weekends – something I didn’t have to set every Saturday morning, and I think this Seiko fits the bill – the sapphire crystal will make it impervious to scratches, the kinetic movement means I won’t have to worry about changing the battery, and the 200m water resistance means I won’t have to worry about taking it for a swim.
• Overall, there is a lot to love with this watch, and really no real drawbacks (except the size, which is really only a drawback for the small-wristed) – I really like it!
