My critique of the Seiko Prospex Sumo SBDC097, the sapphire sumo anthracite. This is a classic mid range seiko diver, 6R35 movement, highly finished and heavily shaped case covered by an almost delicate, subtle sunburst dial.
To be clear, this is a critique not a review. I don't think it makes sense to review watches trying to achieve completely different things against a single arbitrary criteria. So instead I try and interpret the intent of the watch and then critique the watch against that criteria.
The critique proceeds in five steps:
Description, Interpretation, Analysis, Judgement and finally my personal take.
I assess the watch across four broad areas;
Story, Design, Performance and Finesse.
For your awareness some things about me and the channel.
Im an engineer whose into human behavior, loves the ideas behind art and sees watches as a mix or science, craft, art, business, history, technology, philosophy and psychology. As a result my videos cover all that ground.
Just to be clear, I hate the expression "its just a watch". If you got this far watches matter to you and they represent a bridge between us - dismissing them as unimportant seems wrong and disrespectful. That doesn't mean we cant and don't have fun, it just means we should not be totally mindless of others.
I'm a watch collector and curator - I like my collections to have a theme. My collection has several themes:
1. Vintage Alpina watches
2. Travel watches (GMT. UTC, world timers, home times, dual times)
3. Seiko Prospex dive watches
4. Breitling chronographs
5. Stuff I just really like.
I often forget wristchecks so if you want to see what I'm wearing, my collection and other random bits of my life check out my instagram:
