Seiko Mens Sumo Prospex Diver 200m Watch SPB101J1

Product Information

Since 2007, the Sumo watches used the 6R15, and whilst this proved to be a trusted, sturdy, and reliable workhorse movement, Seiko decided it was time for an upgrade for this watch and therefore, it is powered by the latest version, the 6R35. This movement is still the same base but has been improved and refined.

The Prospex in the name stands for ”Professional specifications” and simply means that the watch is built according to the needs and wants of professionals. These watches are made to handle seriously harsh conditions, including those that professionals subject them too.

Conclusion

The SeikoSPB101J1 has a sporty and robuststainless steel 3-piece-bracelet with a width of 20mm with brushed links and polished accents. The bracelet also has a wet-suit extension that offers a large enough extension to be used for putting the watch over your wetsuit. The bracelet really gives the overall impression of the Sumo a seamless look and feel. On the wrist, it gives the impression that it will never let you down. Bezel When it comes to comparable watches to the Seiko Prospex Sumo (Reference: SPB101J1), there are a few options worth considering. One such watch is the Seiko Prospex Turtle (SRP777). Like the Sumo, the Turtle is a dive watch with a similar design and build quality. It also features a reliable automatic movement and a durable stainless steel case. However, the Turtle is slightly smaller than the Sumo, making it a better option for those with smaller wrists.

If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. We are also able to offer an exchange to a different product if required, please specify this when returning your product. Lastly, the Orient Kamasu (RA-AA0004E19A) is another comparable watch to the Seiko Prospex Sumo. It features a similar design with a stainless steel case and a reliable automatic movement. However, the Kamasu has a slightly smaller case size and a more affordable price point, making it a great option for those on a budget.
