The Best Classic & Classy Chronograph Under £100! - Seiko SNDC31 Review

In this Seiko SNDC31 review video, we'll be looking at possibly the best Seiko chronograph under 200 pounds - in fact, it's even under 100 at most retailers. This SNDC31P1 Seiko has been on my radar for a while and Amazon made it possible!

Ben's Watch Club tends to cover affordable watches like Seiko, Timex, Casio, Citizen, MVMT, Vincero, Bulova, Orient, Hamilton, and more. We rarely feature luxury watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Cartier, Omega, Audemars Piguet, or Hublot due to their price.

Ben, forgot one really important feature: this is a twelve hour chronograph! It times events well beyond sixty minutes where most quartz chronos just stop--including the Bulova Lunar Pilot costing five times more.

I've owned this watch since 2016. Been to the opera several times. Today the strap is a bit scuffed yet still serviceable. And it looks great with a silver Milanese mesh. Cold.

Thanks...used your link to buy the watch as I have been on the lookout for a nice vintage yet inexpensive chronograph....thanks again...

Ice cold! That dial is just stunning and overall a nice deal for a quartz chronograph.

Each to thier own, I've been wearing the packaging and throwing the watch away..

This is a beautiful piece from Seiko. Thank you so much for the review, Ben

I thank you for this review. I've been following this model for a long time. Finally a quality review in this model.

The seiko snd line is full of great chronographs. My personal favorite is the snd 365 and its 38 mm. Good for small wrists like mine

[AliasEveWatches]

This one looks really well made. The seconds hand also seems to hit the right places, which i take is a sign of good quality quartz movement. Vote: Cool.

For alternative on chronograph, it seems the Seagull 1963 prices are trending down. They used to be over $200 but now, $150. Maybe next year they’ll be $100, who knows.

Hey, that's my watch! 😀 I swapped that brown strap long time ago...and put a blue croc leather strap. 🐊 It looks awesome. Retro vibes! 🤩

Seiko SNN241- on sale at times for around USD100, or a Seiko SSB097 for a little speedmaster homage chrono

A couple of years on and I cannot find this anywhere close to the price it was here. Good looking piece for sure

I bought one last week on Amazon. Thanks for your review which helped me have a good look at this before buying one. Cheers from Australia mate.

Great value for money. Love the vintage-y look. I'm voting "cool".

[ernobuzas]

Ahh, a new BWC video right on the day I get my very first automatic watch (Orient Bambino V3 Gen 2). This is a good day.

Laugh if you must but Timex makes a chronograph watch. I bought one a year ago, it was $75 and I've had no problems with it at all. I bought it to fill the chronograph vacancy in my collection. Essentially just to say I owned a "chrono'" but as it has turned out it is a pretty damn good watch. Had I not bought the Timex Chrono, I would certainly be picking this one up. Great review 👍

[nomadben]

Just bought this one! It's just the perfect size for my wrist, I love the look, and the movement has excellent features for the price.

Got the black version out of Argos almost 2 years ago for around 55 pounds nice watch and good review 👍

[chris-vnsw]

Got the watch delivered yesterday form Amazon.. It’s beautiful. Cost £78 because I took out the amazon credit card ( £20 discount ) and cleared the amount when it arrived. I didn’t pay for the 48hr. Came from the US in eight days free..

[lighteningxl]

I can tell you this watch lasts, because I bought mine in 2011 and I just put new batteries in and it's working just fine haha 10 years....

[mrxcman]

The black version looks great. And the 1/0.5 second subdial is a nice feature. I vote ICE COLD.
