I am a Tuna aficionado, and I still like these solar Tunas very much. In fact, I like them a little better than the SBBN03x series because of two things: 1. A return to the older style Tuna handset, which I think are much better-looking than the Monster/Samurai/Shogun/MM200/62MAS-reimagining hands that Seiko is putting into seemingly everything nowadays; and 2. The use of white-tinted Lumibrite instead of the greenish tint they are using on the Sumo/MM200/62MAS-reimagining. I'm tempted to get one (particularly one that hits the index marks, unlike my SBBN031) and mount the Yobokies stainless steel shroud on it for a total price that is less than half of what a current 300 m Tuna is going for.

Honestly one of my favorite watches right now. You're exactly right on the hand set. They are making an a SS model (Black polymer shroud) on bracelet. I put an Amazon link below. It would look excellent with a SS shroud from yobokies!!😎👍👍

After ordering the arnie! I had to order that one! It looks so good and it probably Will wear well just like the arnie, is light and very confortable to wear. I always loved seiko divers watches! Had them since the 80s and i think now solar with 50 more meters of water resistance! Its a bargain. Gotta remember back in the 80s a watch like that one and the arnie, where only good for 150m of water dept. And they where expensive back then too! I remember paying up to or over 400 dollars in those day's, and that was a lot of money then. So now that they are solar and more capable, its a bargain!👌😎👍

This watch cost $500au in Perth W.Australia. I really enjoy wearing mine, just a glance and I can read the time. Thanks for the video, very informative.

Wearing mine as I watch again! haha. great review! Absolutely love mine, it's been my daily watch for almost 2 months straight and I still smile every time I look at it. There is a TINY QC issue with mine but that's been my experience with most Seikos in this price range. My seconds hand is also bang on perfect which was a huge relief when I opened the box. The only thing I will say is I think the bezel is stainless. If that thin inner gold ring around the crystal was aluminum you could bend it with your fingernail plus aluminum wouldn't hold up well in saltwater use, but that's my 2 cents, I could be wrong. According to my serial number, if I understand things correctly, 830090 would be March of 2018 and the 90th one made, what number is yours in the line?

It's a very comfortable watch with great wrist presence. It doesn't look big when you're wearing, and doesn't feel big either. The bezel may be stainless, it's just so lightweight it feels aluminum. There's really nothing I can complain about on this watch st this price point. It's really s great, comfortable watch for everyday wear. Hard to tell until you put one on. Have a good one buddy 😎👍

Never thought I'd like quartz. But I recently picked up a solar diver chrono ssc021(?). And I loooove it. Not really a fan of low end Seiko autos now. The solar quartz is so nice.

I think the nato straps make them look bigger? Maybe just a regular leather 2 piece strap would look nice, I dig any black seiko diver under 48mm , this is sharp!

6” wrist here and it fits perfectly. The lugs and case don’t extend passed the ends of my wrist. In fact there’s still a few mm of skin on both sides showing. This watch wears MUCH smaller than the numbers suggest. I have the Save The Ocean version. It’s my “every day” watch. My 42 mm Citizen Tough looks bigger on me than this Tuna.
