Seiko Men’s SKX781 “Orange Monster” Automatic Dive Watch – Review

The Seiko Men’s SKX781″Orange Monster” Automatic Dive Watch can easily be rated as the best watch for underwater use. It is classy to look and has some of the most amazing features. The fact that it comes from the house of Seiko speaks well of the product. The watch gets an A plus in the looks department. While being functional it also appears chic. The orange dial is encased in a stainless steel case and looks classy on the wrist.

The watch is automated and does not require batteries for running. It gets charged when the hand is moved. This is convenient as there is no fear of the watch ever stalling because the battery runs out. The face of the watch is easy to read and the date and day slot is set at the three oíclock position. The date and day are displayed in English and Spanish. It is a great watch to own for scuba diving. The watch has been proven to be water resistant up to a depth of 220 metres.
