Seiko SKX vs Willard vs King Turtle

This one is for Rafael in Germany. I hope it helps the decision. Keep in mind the price, I think you get what you pay for.

The more I compare these watches the more I think King Turtle is best value of these

Thanks for the comparison. I agree in that I like the cushion cases. I own a number of Turtles and still want to buy the mini Turtle. I am wearing my SKX again after a while in my watch box and it always puts a smile on my face. While I really like the Willard, it is too expensive for my liking, so I will be looking at picking up a used one at some point.

The spb151 to me is the best looking watch, good dimensions and proportions. Still retains that retro look while still having subtle changes that allow it to stand on its own. Sapphire crystal, new movement, improved water resistance, this design has been, and will remain a classic within the Seiko collection and watch world in general.

If I could only own one Seiko, the spb151 would be it. In fact, I have the green dial spb153 and will be getting a 151 when my AD gets one in.

Love your reviews keep them coming:)! I got the grenate green King Turtle 🐢 too and solved the issue of the overhanging strap by putting an SKX rubber keeper (in black) additional to the metal keeper. It works for me and I don’t even notice the second keep while wearing it. But the watch sitting like a Grenade 😅 fixt on my wrist.

I’m glad they went with the aluminum bezel. Mine keeps a +6 sec/day so far. But my bezel/chapter ring alignment are just a smidge off. Love the watch. My favorite Seiko.

Congratulations on the new Seiko! I just got my SBDC109 "Captain Willard" last night. My wrist is also exactly 17 cm. I put the watch on an Uncle Seiko "chocolate bar" strap. I'm very impressed! I was wearing a 39.5 cm Oris Aquis for the past 3 months and I don't feel as if the Seiko is so much lower in quality and I love it's presence on my wrist. I now think that my 39.5 cm Aquis may actually be too small for me. Also, I should admit that I'm a huge fan of the Apocalypse Now movie so I'm prewired to love the SBDC109.

I like the aluminium bezel. Like you said, will fade. Also, no fingerprints to wipe off!

Three awesome Seiko divers. Nice review.

Good comparison ! thanks for the review ! A constructive feedback for you : a steadier camera view would be nice !

[kevsd]

Great vid. Hopefully you can further compare the new Willard with the MM200 as they are within the same premium price points.

[RafaelHupfeld]

Thank you very much for this great comparison. Liked your wrist shots and the side by side comparisons a lot. 👍 My favourites are the Captain Willard and the Skx. I‘m a bit concerned about the inaccurate Movement of the Spb151... My skx does also run horrible.. Good point with the updated versions from year to year by the way! This was very helpful, thank you!

7:10 man I love your channel so much :D!!! Hope I can meet you in person one day!!!

Nice collection of Seiko divers, Willard is just fantastic on the nato, single pass much more comfortable, turtle have great presence and good size, skx are always going to great watch to wear.
Longines, very nice.

[PreeyenMistry]

Of all of these I think the regular turtle is a winner, The same classic looks as an SKX, iconic cushion case, better movement 4r36 and sensible pricing, the price of the king turtle is too high if you consider upgrading a normal turtle with sapphire and a ceramic bezel. I'd even say the king turtle prices are bordering on 6r15 movement divers. Of course not anymore as every single Seiko price bracket has risen in price.

The Longines line is so nice and well put tother when compared to Seiko. I have a Longines Conquest beautiful blue dial in 39mm, and when i compare it to my Seiko Sarx077 blue dial I definitely feel like the Longines is more bang for my buck.

[snellmails]

I just don’t feel the King Turtles 3D patterns. I wish they have some with just a plain sunburst dial.

[MegaRissa]

Willard spb151 with waffle rubber strap will be cool

[MLTUP]

I like the SKX out of the three. The 7s26 is rudimentary. But its simplicity makes it ultra rugged. 7s26 can go 20 yrs w/o any service.

I love my Seiko Skx009 and Skx007 both. Your Captain Willard is a stunner
