Which model???

I wanted to pick a sub 700 chf watch today to wear in my holidays starting tomorrow but ended up leaving empty handed. These are couple of them that appeared the most to me and ouf those I liked the prx the most. My verdict:

  • First time to try seiko models in my life and I like the 5 sports gmt the most. Did not like the bracelet on the normal 5 models at all

  • The citizen is a quartz model and would have been only 170 swiss franks which is perfect to wear around the beach and in pools. But since I am ready to get a new watch why should I settle for less ?

  • The certina is nice but felt too classy to wear on holidays. Even tho it has 100m water resistance

  • The PRX appealed the most to me but was thinking that I should maybe skip it today to think about getting the twelve instead!

Any thoughts ?

Go with the PRX. Iconic watch

For a holiday I’d go for the citizen on the rubber flex just for a bit of colour and comfort

The Khaki is the most iconic and versatile of the bunch. Allthough it has only 50m wr. For a beach holiday, i would go with the Citizen, but maybe in a more interesting(/summery) colourway. There are quite a few colours availibe. If i had to decide for you i would buy the Citizen for the holiday and the Khaki later on, when you return. It's a great daily wear😉

I tried also the d7 today in green and somehow it tapered weirdly on my wide wrist so it did not feel comfortable for me. But it definetely looks amazing 😍

Would you prefer it to the twelve

Certina, to my eye, looks classy sporty. The PRX looks more rugged, I feel.
