Seiko Divers Watch

[thehawkswoops]

Hello,

I fancy a dive watch and like the Seiko's, my fave at the moment is the Seiko Automatic Diver's 200m Japan-made SKX011J1 SKX011J SKX011

Are these better than the NEW Monsters? Or are they better ? if so I like the Orange Monster Divers SRP309K1

Or should I get something else? Budget of £200 max so I don't worry about it too much!

Not planning on doing any scuba diving but need something tough and rugged I can wear on holidays, mountain biking etc.

I do have a Gshock which I love but it's a bit scruffy now. Perhaps you have a spare in your collection you wish to part with it doesn't have to be new.

Anyway your thoughts please gentleman.

Regards Mark

The new Monster has a different movement than the older model and the SKX that you've linked to, basically it hacks as well as hand winds whereas the 7s26 movement does neither. Other than that just buy whichever you prefer the look of as either will be fine for what you'll be using them for, personally I'd go for the older Monster on a bracelet as they're superb lb for £ but that's just me.
