Building a Watch Collection with One Brand: Seiko

There are a few brands out there with such expansive offerings that you could theoretically build an entire watch collection within that single brand. I thought it might be fun to try to do just that, and in this video, I'll build five totally different watch collections all with Seiko watches. If you like this type of video, suggest some other brands we might be able to use in the comments!

Kuddos to Teddy for this video. He doesn't sell Seiko's but he still appreciates the brand and talks a lot about them. He is a true watch enthusiast.

I picked up my grandfather’s Seiko today. Automatic 40 year old watch that hasn’t been touched in years. Automatic that just started turning! Amazing!

[WatchWitt]

For as much as we bash Seiko lately (stagnant specs, QC issues, price increases), it was nice to realize through your video why we love them so much. They really are a powerhouse!

Seiko is one of those brands that people love to hate and hate to love. I have a few high end watches but I hate that I love my $150 Seiko more than my IWC. Seiko truly has something for everyone.

I loved this series. I would like to see more affordable brands like orient, timex, casio, then jump to higher like hamilton and tissot, and then the luxury tier with omega, rolex, AP, and more.

YASSS! You could build such a fantastic collection with just Seiko! <3 Loved this. Great choices Teddy.

Seiko is the brand with the most model watches. They have such a wide variety that you can get lost in the mix.

Congratulations about this video. I'm a one brand watch collector (Seiko) and I've always wanted someone to make such a video! Thank you!

New watch enthusiast here. Watching your videos had me gravitated toward Seiko for my 1st automatic, probably the new srpg for a daily watch.

Love this idea for a series! I’d like to see Longines at some point, especially with the recent colorways for the Hydroconquest.

Would love to see you build a vintage seiko collection because they offered so much diversity from the 60s up to the 80s with their quartz moments. I have a couple of vintage King, Grand and normal seiko watches and they are absolutely brilliant!

I started my whole watch collecting journey with a 200 euro Seiko, collected vintage Seiko's for about 2 years and now starting to diversify my collection the last year. Been a great hobby/moneypit

My first watch was a Seiko and since then I have bought about 5 more in the past 10 years. Extremely reliable in my experience and they don’t skimp out on quality.

My 3 Seiko collection, Skx007j, sarb017 and the spb183j Willard.
Love em all...

[drzaius]

I’ve watched this 3x already, love it.

[propblastnd]

I have a Seiko save the ocean turtle, that’s my entire collection of one watch so far .

[pete-bdlj]

I purchased my first watch and it’s a Seiko Spb249. I bought it to wear it everywhere and love that it’s water resistant up to 200m and has an 80 hour power reserve. I was originally looking at much more expensive watches but the seiko watch offered everything other expensive brands offer for a fraction of the price.

[drewsleyy]

After watching way too many of your videos, I'm a convert! Didn't wanna jump in too deep for my first watch, but I did my research -- finally decided on the Seiko SNXS79J1. So close to an Oyster Perpetual, at 1/30 the price...it's nuts! Can't wait to receive it and start the journey

I bought my very first watch this year and could not be happier with my Seiko 5 Sports SRPD63K1.
None of the alignment issues, very accurate (+15sec after one week of wearing) and just plain beautiful. Seiko has definitely gained a new returning customer as i am already looking at the Cocktail collection for my second watch.
