The $1,995 Seiko That Every Watch Collector Needs in Their Collection

Seiko launched the 150m 62MAS Diver's watch in 1965 Advanced swiftly with 300m in 1968, titanium 600m 'Tuna' in 1975 New 1965 Diver reimagined packs Calibre 6R55, 72-hour power reserve, 300 m rating Fan vote decides 2026 Diver's model colour addition No watch collection is complete without a Rolex, OMEGA, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and at least one Seiko. We'd happily throw in a Casio G-Shock too, but what we're trying to say here is that at its core, true watch enthusiasts appreciate history, craftsmanship, and performance before they even consider what anyone thinks about the watch on their wrist. If a watch tells a story, has history, and the performance numbers to back up any claims a manufacturer wants to make about its intended use, we watch nerds think that's pretty cool too. While its famous for its Speedmaster Moonwatch, OMEGA was the first brand to release a commercially available divers watch in 1932 with the release of the cork-sealed, double-cased Marine, which was tested in Lake Geneva to a depth of more than 70 metres. Then, twenty years later, after learning from the Swiss, Seiko released the first Japanese dive watch in 1965, the self-winding 150M Diver's called the 62MAS. Seiko 1965 Diver 62MAS | Image: Supplied / Seiko We can't forget that at this time, these watches weren't worn for style: they were concerned with function only. Divers were making personal requests to the brands, and Seiko was the one that became known for meeting these requests in Japan. They could be trusted to deliver a product that would meet or exceed those of the professional divers, and they proved it by making watches that could be used with a diving capsule and saturation diving techniques at depths of up to 600 metres by 1975. However, we have to trace our steps back to 1965 to get a better picture of just how quickly Seiko innovated in this space. A Brief History of the Seiko 62MAS Three years after debuting the 62MAS, which was capable of 150 meters of water-resistance, they released the 1968 Professional Diver 300m. Then, less than ten years later, they released the world's first professional Diver's 600M with titanium case (nicknamed the Tuna) that was corrosion-proof, shock resistant, and airtight. It featured more than 20 patents on the exterior alone, and three years after its release it was updated with a quartz movement, making it the world's first saturation diving watch to feature that style of battery.

SPB453J | Image: Supplied / Seiko Seiko 1965 Diver Specifications Movement : Automatic Calibre 6R55, +25/‑15 s per day, : Automatic Calibre 6R55, +25/‑15 s per day, Power reserve : 72 hours : 72 hours Case : Stainless‑steel : Stainless‑steel Case diameter : 40 mm (46.4 mm lug‑to‑lug) : 40 mm (46.4 mm lug‑to‑lug) Case thickness : 13 mm : 13 mm Weight : 168 grams : 168 grams Band : Stainless‑steel bracelet : Stainless‑steel bracelet Water resistance : Diver's 300 m : Diver's 300 m Dial: Black with Lumibrite hands & markers; date display; timer scale on bezel Many watches followed, but the 1965 Seiko Diver's watch probably remains the most iconic of all divers on the market to this day. It's hard to acquire in good condition these days, but there's good news: Seiko has re-released the 1965 Diver's and updated it for the modern day with one of the latest in-house automatic movements, the Calibre 6R55 with 72 hours of power reserve, and they've even upgraded the water resistance to 300 metres, which is a first for Prospex non-saturation diver's watches.

You'll notice how they've moved the date window to the space between four and five o'clock to allow for a more symmetrical design and to allow more Lumibrite in the space for high legibility in dark conditions. We also love how they've slimmed the 40.0mm case down (46.4mm lug-to-lug) to 13.0mm, which is remarkably thin for a diver at this price point and these specs. Even the bracelet links are shorter for comfort, and the clasp has a conformed shape. This watch celebrates 60 years of Seiko diver's, and next year, the brand will release one of the colourful colourways teased above. You can choose the watch they release through a fan vote that is currently running on the brand's website. Alternatively, pick up one of the existing Seiko 1965 Diver watches available right now for AUD$1,995 at the retailers listed below.

Forget Apple and Garmin — this hard-wearing, good-looking Casio G-Shock Move has crashed to $214 for Prime Day
Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to scoop up a great smartwatch deal. But before you pull the trigger on an Apple or Garmin, check out this reduction on the grandaddy of digital timepieces. Right now, Casio's G-Shock Move DW-H5600 is on sale for $214 at Amazon — saving you a handy 28% off this smart(ish), rugged watch. The G-Shock Move looks like a classic 1980s Casio watch with a touch of modern flair. Sure, it tells the time, but it also monitors your heart rate and blood oxygen saturation levels; tracks basic workouts and physical activities; keeps tabs on sleep quality; and charges via the big ball of fire in the sky. Plus, 200 meters of water resistance is best-in-class. Here's the thing about Casio G-Shock watches: they'll take whatever you can throw at them. No need to worry about dings and scratches and, even if you do knock them around a bit — it all adds to the charm. I've worn a G-Shock GW7900B-1 for years at this point (the GW8900A-1 is a close cousin and is currently reduced by 7% at Amazon) and it's been a reliable accessory on a number of adventures. But since it's 2025, we need brains as well as brawn. Which is why the G-Shock Move DW-H5600 is worth a look for anyone that's interested in tracking their fitness but doesn't want another device to charge every night. The watch tracks your activity through a pulse oximeter and heart sensor and uses algorithms developed by fitness watch brand Polar. The resulting data is fed through to Casio's companion app on either iOS or Android. It's not a perfect system; there's no swimming option even though this watch is rated waterproof to 200M. Go figure. You also won't find a touchscreen here — instead, you've got to operate the watch like the good old days: with buttons. Try showing that to anyone born after 2010 and see what happens. Okay, so it's not going to appeal to everyone but for G-Shock fans like me, this is a Prime Day deal not to be missed. And, if you need a little bit more convincing, find out what happened when my colleague Dan put this watch to the test against an Apple Watch over 5,000 steps. And remember to check out the rolling Tom's Guide Prime Day live blog for the latest deals as they happen!

Duped by fake VivoCity post, man pays $95 cash on delivery for G-Shock that turns out to be counterfeit
Duped by fake VivoCity post, man pays $95 cash on delivery for G-Shock that turns out to be counterfeit A man was duped by a fake VivoCity social media post into ordering a Casio G-Shock watch from a fake Casio website and paying $95 cash on delivery. The watch also turned out to be fake. Stomper Daniel wants to let others know so they don't fall for it too. "I was scammed by this advertisement on Facebook about a G-Shock watch," said the Stomper. The Facebook post appeared to be by VivoCity Singapore. The post read: "So angry I just queued nearly four hours at VivoCity to buy the Casio G-Shock GM-2100-1A at a crazy 70 per cent discount - from S$319 down to just S$95! "I've been a longtime G-Shock fan, and when I heard Casio was opening their very first official store at VivoCity Singapore, I rushed over right away. I never expected the crowd to be so intense - the line stretched like it was a concert. People were pushing, arguing, and security even had to step in. "What made it worse? Right after I paid, the staff announced that the promotion was also available online because the store couldn't handle the overwhelming number of people. If only I had known... I could've stayed home and ordered it in two minutes - with free islandwide shipping included! "To make up for the chaos, Casio officially issued an apology and extended the $95 deal to their online store. If you couldn't grab one at VivoCity, now's your chance - no queue, no hassle." The post included a link, which the Stomper clicked on and took him to what appeared to be an official Casio G-Shock online shop. To order the $95 watch, all he was required to do was input his name, address, phone number and email address. "I submitted those details, which I didn't think was harmful, and it didn't ask for my payment or card details," noted the Stomper. A few weeks later on June 20, he received a message from Ninja Van about a delivery. "I totally couldn't remember what the delivery was for," recounted the Stomper. "As I was not at home, my wife checked with me whether I ordered anything as the Ninja Van worker was delivering a parcel and said it was a watch. I told my wife it was probably the watch I saw on Facebook. The Ninja Van worker mentioned cash on delivery of $95 and I paid for it." When the Stomper saw the watch, he confirmed it was a counterfeit. PHOTOS: STOMP "I compared it with the original watch on YouTube and official G-Shock web page," said the Stomper. "It is not the same." VivoCity Singapore - the real one - has since warned Facebook users about fake accounts, although perhaps a little too late for the Stomper. However, as early as March 17, a YouTuber who calls himself The G-Shock Watcher had posted a video about the scam. Fortunately for the Stomper, he said on July 1 that after contacting Ninja Van, he received an email from Ninja Van agreeing to refund his payment. So he may get his $95 back after all.

The ultimate luxury Casio G-Shock now comes with a stunning blue dial
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary One of the most beautiful watches in the Casio G-Shock range just got a new lick of paint. The new MR-G 2100R is a stunning watch with a blue dial. We're big fans of the Casio G-Shock here at T3. In its various forms and guises, the rugged, reliable watchmaker has simultaneously become a hot topic in the world of fashion. Still, for most people they don't exactly scream "luxury". Other watches are often cited as a better pick in that realm, with the G-Shock often seen as something more fun than serious. That's not the whole story, though. The brand can really turn it on when needed, as I found out when I got hands on with the Casio G-Shock MR-G 2100B. That's one of the most premium models in the brand's catalogue, with a wince-inducing £4,300 price tag to match. Now, there's a new addition to the MR-G 2100 collection – and it features a stunning blue dial. It's not just any old dial, either – this one is inspired by the traditional Japanese art of kigumi. That sees structures created without the need for nails or glue, instead forming the joins to fit together tightly. It's a fantastic example of craftsmanship, but also produces some staggering geometric patterns. Here, the latticework in the dial pattern goes beyond just looking fantastic – it's functional too. Those open spaces allow light through to the solar panel beneath, ensuring the watch stays well charged even as you wear it. That sits within the brands iconic octagonal case, designed with 27 different components to ensure the shock resistance it is known for. That includes a bezel crafted from a proprietary material called Cobarion – a material four times harder than titanium with a platinum-like polish – and a case crafted from hardened titanium. That attaches to a Dura Soft fluoro-rubber strap, which should make for a really comfortable wearing experience. It is a slight shame – I remember the bracelet feeling really impressive when I tested the other model – but it's a good option for more active lifestyles. Elsewhere you'll find 200m of water resistance, Bluetooth for smartphone connection and Multi Band 6 atomic timekeeping. There's a date window at the three o'clock position, and a day indicator at seven o'clock. Priced at $3,800 (approx. £3,000 / AU$6,000) this certainly isn't going to be the watch for everyone. G-Shock's do have a cult-like following, though, which should make this a hit in the right circles.
