What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Seiko Prospex LX line

Owners widely report the dial's blue-green sunburst is phenomenal, and the sapphire glass features blue AR coating. Some owners feel the high price limits discounts and sales, with one AD noting extremely low sales due to the cost. One owner reported DLC peeling off a two-week-old watch, and another noted quality control issues like bezel inserts and fallen second hands. On balance, owners consider the Seiko Prospex LX line a nicely built watch, though pricing led to poor sales and its discontinuation.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
