Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress Watch 40mmvsSeiko Selection SARV001

The Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress Watch 40mm is widely praised for its classy design and excellent value under $150. Owners find the 40mm case with a 47mm lug-to-lug measurement wears smaller than many 40mm sports watches, and the bracelet is noted as very nice and flexible. However, quality control can be variable, and the watch omits sapphire crystal and decent luminosity. One reviewer noted the ST-16 movement keeps good time within a few seconds per day, but handwinding is rough and the crown had a burr. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress Watch 40mm highly for its attractive classic styling and value, despite some quality control concerns.

Owners widely praise the Seiko Selection SARV001 for its exceptional value, with many considering it a bargain and a strong alternative to more expensive watches. Its comfortable fit and versatile style make it suitable for everyday and business-casual wear. The 4R36 movement is noted as an improvement over lower-tier Seiko movements, and one owner reports an accuracy of +4 seconds per day. Some owners find the OEM bracelet disappointing, but the watch is considered a "strap monster" with good potential for customization. Overall, owners rate the Seiko Selection SARV001 highly for its killer style and value for money.
