Go for it is agreat watch sapphire and ceramic bezel
Yes. I have the PADI version and it is a great watch. I did not think I would like the candy bar but it has grown on me.
When in doubt. Always pull the trigger 😂. I love mine! Pairs great with natos!
I'm a Seiko dive watch fan. But most of mine are old. If you're buying a new one be aware that modern Seiko dive watches often have quality control issues. Usually dial, chapter ring or bezel misalignments. If you can, buy it in a bricks and mortar store. Or, if buying online, do it from somewhere like Marc at longislandwatch.com who will check it before he sends it to you, if you ask.
I hear it's a great watch. The reviews of the King Turtle are always positive. But personally, I can't see passed the candy bar cyclops. Blech! 😀
I have the King Turtle Save the Oceans version. It's a great watch with monster specs. The only thing I didn't like was the buckle on the rubber strap, so it got changed out.

That's the only thing that's putting me off it

With some basic tools and a steely nerve... or indeed a local watchmaker's help, it can normally be realigned without too much fuss. We shouldn't have to do that though. 😕
Ooops! Are you talking about the cyclops? 🙄

Yeah, the cyclops looks pretty big, but if I did buy it I'd use it as a beater. Probably use it playing badminton.

I've seen a youtube video of someone removing the cyclops with a lighter/small blow torch. Probably not for the faint hearted though. Wouldn't you be better off with a Casio or a G shock for your badminton? Up to you. 👍
Yeah I think you're right.
Great looking watch, also lovely color! Id get one myself but they're too big for my 6.5 inch wrist 😮💨
Proper tough watches , very good value.
Highly recommended 👍🏻
The King turtle is built like a tank. A proper unit and you can feel the quality on the wrist plus the turtle cases are comfortable. Great beater watch with good specs and also you can get these variants for under $500 sometimes during sales. Apart from the candy bar, I can't say anything bad about this model. Also, quite a few colour options are available.
Thanks for all your advice
Manly looking watch that...gada
