While perusing the web for news of new watch models, I caught wind of a new Seiko model that seems rather interesting – the Seiko 5 Sports SNZF45. What initially grabbed my attention was its appearance – it looks very similar the more-familiar Seiko Monster models (the SKX781 and SKX779). The main differences from the afore-mentioned Monster models seem to be:

If you’ve been looking to slap a little E-Ink on your wrist and didn’t want to go the Phosphor route, Seiko has the watch for you. The Seiko E-Ink watch is essentially a high-tech LCD watch using E-Ink as the display medium, thereby reducing battery drain.

Seiko held a contest last summer asking folks what they thought of Seiko watches. Here, friends, is the winner, a charming young lad from Singapore who likes long walks on the beach, Iron Maiden, and mountains. Good on you, sir. Good on you.
I was talking with an friend of mine online recently, and the subject of “The List” came up. You know, the list of watches that you someday hope to own as a collector, a wish-list if you will. Since I’m fairly new to the collecting part of things, my list is relatively short and common, but I’m sure as time goes on, my tastes will expand, and someday I’ll want a big boy watch too.
Here’s a list of the watches I plan on owning someday, in no particular order:
Seiko Orange Monster
Doxa SUB300T (yeah, I’m a Cussler fan)
Omega Seamaster
Tissot T-Touch Trekking
Suunto Core All Black
Debaufre Aircraft-8 Chronograph
Again, I realize that this isn’t going to be the same list as everyone else has, but I like what I like. What’s on your list?
Seiko is running an online contest right now, in anticipation of the launch of their new “Ananta Automatic Chronograph” in October. According to Seiko, the new chronograph pulls it’s styling from the katana sword, legendary weapon of the samurai. This gives the case a gentle curved look, along with a mirror polish finish.
At any rate, the contest ends on August 30th, and to enter you need to send a 15-45 second video to ilove@seiko-watch.co.jp. You can see what the other contestants are up to at Seiko’s YouTube channel. The winning submissions will be awarded a brand new Ananta chronograph, valued at $3,200.
