Just picked one up today. Love it, the dimensions are absolutely perfect. It’s a beauty.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact that you strategically filmed this around 10:10 so you and Bob both had watches displaying the perfect time for your wrist check. Brilliant planning and execution.

[nedflanders]

Wow that is one sharp looking watch. I really like it. That blacked out look is chef’s kiss.

[alanrogers]

Great, my Seastar 2000 I bought 2 weeks ago, I must say in 14 days my watch is running less that 1-spd, 11 seconds lost over 14 days is better than cosc specs fantastic I cannot believe how accurate that watch is.

I brought this Seastar 1000 40 mm 3 weeks ago. Exactly this Blue/Black. I love this watch 2 months ago, and I go to the AD but no stock. Ordered and wait for 2 weeks and put on hand 3 weeks ago. Everything perfect except the 12 O clock triangular mark not lump. But I am not dive, so, a small problem only. Thanks.

Stunning piece, 40mm is the sweet spot. Getting the black dial with stainless steal case and bracelet as my first practical/dressy automatic watch. Bezel is mineral glass insert, would've been perfect if it was ceramic even they'd bump the price up by 100 usd. I would avoid PVD coating in general as it looks cool but it doesn't age well.

Thank you so much for the awesome review, going to head in today to purchase the watch after watching your in-depth review:)

[Hectorsdad]

Cracking review. Mrs HD thinks the dial looks a little like bark and reminds her of Grand Seiko. It’s a little busy for me with a lot going on in terms of finishing. Strap looks good and works well.

[Mile-long-list]

Great video as always ! That dial is awesome

[Robert-vwod]

The only problem with this is the SEASTAR font looks an early 90s sci-fi film logo font

[RandallSlick]

Nice looking watch. Dark Manta x Orient Raven vibes, but with a thoughtful strap. Perhaps Tissot are learning from the Chinese/allowing their Chinese factories freer reign on the design. Either way all good and can't wait to see them for sale at half the RRP soon. If only they'd plough into their amazing back catalogue then Tissot would be a force to be reckoned with. But, Swatch politics. Nice, succinct review as always.

Question for the experts: Do the black cases suffer more from everyday knocks than the ‘raw’ ones?
I'm assuming that the black is an overcoat that could come off if scratched, or is the whole case (inside) really black?

[jamesadams]

How does this compare to the Certina DS Action 38? Tough choice between the two right now

[subzero]

Nothing to get excited about but it’s a competent watch at a great price however reading between the lines would choose the quartz version

[Aiman-wf]

Never had an experience with black watch. How’s the black coating usually holding up for this type of finishing?

[Daskalos]

is it antimagnetic or i have to keep it away from devices?

[emhezmfe]

How sturdy is that black coating? Does it wear off over time?

[dadmodswatches]

I would prefer this one over my Seastar 2000m

[danijelkruselj]

My nect purchase eill be Tissot. I never cinsidered about Tissot but after they have released new Seastar 1000 I said Iust have it.

[Crypto_LoverXD]

is it true these powermatic 80 movements use some plastic and it makes it hard to service or they need to take the whole movement out and replace it?
