An all black watch is a thought that comes and goes but I've never pulled the trigger. 42 mm case and 45 Lug to Lug, crazy short lugs. Thanks Rob.

Love the dial and design of these, I just wish they'd improved on the SKX instead of downgrading the dive aspects and only really modernising the movement.

Awesome watch. As for screw-down crowns, I don't dive but I prefer a screw-down crown as an extra measure to keep moisture out of the watch over very long periods of time. Whether that's realistic considering all the other things that could go wrong, I can't say but that's my train of thought.

It looks great and I get that they are responding to what the market uses the watches for, fashion, but some of us do dive and/or work in harsh environments. If Casio can do 200m for what they ask for an MDV-106, Seiko can surely do it at three or four times the cost. It’s ok I guess if its not a priority but it comes across as value engineering.

I returned that exact model as soon as I got it. For some reason, it felt cheap to me. Didn't like the bezel action, or the winding of the crown. Case felt light too which added to the cheapness. Other than that, it looks good and it's definitely the best looking out of the lineup.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered the Barton silicon strap for mine. The lume is poor, but the bright surrounds around the hour markers & hands mean its actually pretty easy to read the time in most lights apart from pitch black darkness. I love mine to bits, can't wait for that strap to arrive😎

You could "dive" with it. Most WR ratings are pretty arbitrary anyway. Even ISO divers like the SKX etc, can go way beyond the "200m" on the dial (+25% as per ISO requirements). The people that pioneered SCUBA and actually relied on the watch on their wrists did not even have screw-down crowns, and mostly did not even have waches rated at 100m. Most people are unaware that the SLX crown does not even have a seal in it. The seal is on the stem socket that sits inside the tube, therefore the wartch is water tight even when the crown is unscrewed.

Yes it is darker. And Raven still has a lot of white on the indices and bezel. IMO the seiko looks better. But hey, if you really want a diver this isn't one. But if it is the look of a diver you want, go for it - it is an awesome watch!
