So, I finally decided to get a Seiko Tuna, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I’ve always been into watches, especially the sturdy, no-nonsense kind. The Tuna, with its unique look, has been on my radar for a while.
First, I started digging around to see which model I should get. I mean, there are tons of them. I read through a bunch of forums and watched some videos and finally settled on the SUT403P1. They say it’s a good entry point into the Tuna world. It’s got that classic Tuna shroud and it’s quartz, which I don’t mind. I’m not really into automatic watches, I prefer the quartz ones.
Next, I had to find a good deal. These things can get pricey, and I didn’t want to break the bank. After a bit of searching, I found a used one online for around $450. Not bad, considering some of the new ones go for way more, like $2,500 or something.
When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I ripped open the box and there it was. It felt solid in my hand, and the build quality seemed top-notch. I put it on my wrist, and it felt great. It’s a bit bulky, but that’s part of its charm.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m really digging it. It keeps perfect time, as you’d expect from a quartz watch. It has a good five-year battery life, I saw on some website that its accuracy is like +/-15 seconds per month. I’ve taken it swimming a couple of times, and it’s held up like a champ. I know it’s a dive watch, but I’m not a diver, so I can’t really test it to its full potential.
What I Learned
- Choosing the Right Model: There are so many Tuna models out there. It took me a while to figure out which one was right for me. The SUT403P1 felt like the best choice for a beginner like me.
- Finding a Good Deal: Prices vary a lot. I managed to find a used one for a decent price, which saved me a lot of money.
- Enjoying the Watch: It’s been a great everyday watch. It’s sturdy, reliable, and it looks cool, in my opinion.
Overall, I’m really happy with my Seiko Tuna. It’s a great watch for the price, and it’s definitely a conversation starter. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. Just do your research and find the model that’s right for you. I think I will keep using it. It is a very solid and durable watch.
