These are a favourite of mine. €489 on seiko.ie.. I'm here in Lanzarote and I can get one for 300.

It's tempting... What say ye?

It's Christmas - treat yourself!

Better to have said 'I don't like this anymore, I'll move it on' than 'I regret not buying that bargain'.

It's a good looking piece too.

They have these styles too:

I have an sne435p1 and am very happy with it. Am sure will be easily sold on if you don't like it!

This years save the ocean would be the one for me .That’s the shark fin one as well but if you like a rubber strap, I’d go for the black pvd model. The new seiko rubber straps are as good as any rubber straps available

I'd be all over that black strap one myself.

The pepsi bezel would be where I'd go.
Lovely watch, that said all of them are.

They actually have the full prospex range.

I like this but I don't understand the point of the non-clicky, bidirectional bezel.

Look up how to use a compass bezel, quite handy but rarely actually needed these days.

I'd just end up constantly resetting it to 12 o clock. I don't dive either but I use a dive bezel daily as an hourly counter for cooking and baking.

I always raise an eyebrow too at a 200m dive rating and push button chrono's. The dive versions have screw downs for both pushers as well as the crown, which is a bit more confidence-inspiring.

There is a difference between 200m and a "diver's" 200m.

The 200m is the static pressure the watch can withstand, not actually the pressure it can withstand in use. it's a deceptive measurement but at least gives a baseline idea of the water resistance watch to watch.
