I'm in love! I've lusted at times over the ice blue dial; seriously considered the deeper blue, and aside from wincing at the faux gold case of the warm bronze dial I've never been satisfied enough to pull the trigger. Now I am convinced. Frankly the diameter is larger than I'd prefer, but the green is amazing. When you turned off the camera lights the indices and hands were striking in contrast to the dial color! I love it. And I like to think the gold second hand ties in with the gold of the rotor. Your strap choices were spot on, and when pictured with your Autumn wardrobe choices (no one but you could pull that off so effectively) I'm sold! Chicago recently has experienced cooler crisper temps, and more now than ever I can't wait for the most beautiful time of year here in the Midwest. You are amazing, and thank you for sharing!!

Matthew Davis Oh gosh where do I start with your comment - thank you SO much for taking the time to watch and leave such a nice and kind comment. I love learning more about those who watch my videos! I am so envious of you living in Chicago! It’s high on my list of next cities to move to next! I also totally agree on the other colors of the Cocktail Time - until now I haven’t been wowed enough to pull the trigger. They’re beautiful but I don’t think I would ever wear the others. I also agree about the size - I wish it were around 38. But it is quite light which makes it wearable. I’m also so glad that you liked my little clothing collage - but it’s crazy how well it pairs with fall colors! I’ll definitely be wearing it to holiday parties, I’m just imagining it with a nice green or dark crimson sweater with rolled up sleeves so everyone can see the watch! Haha! I can’t wait to hear how you like yours when you get it - and I highly recommend Macy’s when you do buy. $250-$300 is an absolute steal for this piece! Cheers, and thanks again so, so much for always coming back to my channel! Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend.

And yeah it’s really funny how no one (myself included) thought/thinks to look there but once you get such a good price, you’ll end up going back again and again! But with that being said, I would never buy a watch in-store from them, funny how that works! And they are an authorized Seiko retailer, so you get the full warranty at basically grey-market prices. Thanks again so much, and cheers!

Hi Josh, thanks for the review. I saw your car channel, you recommended Seiko to me. I have a few Rolex watches and Omega. I am going to buy this green face model. It looks like a steal. I have a fabulous, rare 2017 Lex GS F V 8 that I can never sell! Your correct, the new Lexus models have plastic interiors now (other than the LC 500 in toasted caramel). Cheers!

The green dial looks gorgeous and like many people I was sold the first time I saw it But then I saw the watch in real life, in normal ambient lighting, and the dial wasn't as pretty as I had expected - as demonstrated in this video, it almost looks just black; you had to REALLY look for it to notice the green Maybe for some people this is a good thing, but for me it put me off from getting the watch - if I wanted a watch that looked like it had a black dial under normal lighting, I would just get a watch with a black dial

Val K I agree with you completely, but that for me is a big plus. It’s subtle, and that’s the point. Something that looked this green under every light would, in my opinion, look a bit tacky (hence me not liking the other colorful Cocktail time models). This one prints really elegantly and thus can be worn with dressier ensembles, and when you get the splash of color it’s a true splash and not just a solid green circle. So again, I completely agree with you, but I’d also recommend buying one from somewhere (like Macy’s) where you can return it and wear it for a bit everywhere you normally go and see how it works for you. It may surprise you how often you do see the color! Cheers!

The first one is the blue. I love this Seiko line. The blue is my go to casual dress watch for the summer/spring months. This one has definitely become my go to fall/winter casual dress watch. I pared mine with a strapco jubilee from Long Island Watch.

TheVirtualStealth Hi! No problem returning whatsoever. I buy all my US Seikos from Macy’s here in the states, and they have never questioned my returns, though I hardly ever return things - that was maybe one of two watches that I’ve ever returned. I think also since it’s only $250 US, it wasn’t a big deal in the grander picture.

Interesting, I didn’t know about computer parts! I will say that without knowing exactly where you are, the VAT built into your prices for watches is upwards of like 20-something per cent which is astronomical compared to our 4-8% sales tax here which is added after the fact. Every time I go to Europe I buy a watch and or high end item and then get my VAT back and it’s always an astounding amount that they build in for VAT.

igilav Ooh that’s tough. The Alpinist has a better movement and I think a sapphire crystal? I’m not sure on that. It’s much more versatile in that it can be worn generally well with formal clothes but is also definitely more casual. The cocktail time is absolutely a dress watch. But I think the cocktail time has a nicer dial and the splash of green is magical. The alpinist’s dial just feels kind of flat. Hope this helps!!!

Hello! There are the ladies versions of them, but they’re quite a bit smaller I believe (33mm I think, but I might be wrong on that). Ignore this if you’ve already seen it in person but the 40mm case and light weight make them pretty wearable in my opinion. I can’t think of anything that’s got the same look and aesthetic off the top of my head in this price range... will come back to you here if I do though!!!
