“Just received my Seiko skx013, it's everything I expected, absolutely delighted with the watch and the service from Longisland Watch Co was first class”
“Having owned an SKX007 prior, I knew what to expect with the SKX013. It's a fantastic watch and I do prefer the size of the SKX013. What I didn't expect was the great buying experience and customer support that Long Island Watch provided. Extremely happy customer and won't hesitate to do business with them again. Thanks for taking care of your customers!”
“I just love my SKX 013 (baby 007)!. It is the perfect size for me and wears much smaller than the SKX 007 and 011 that I have. This "little" watch is definitely a keeper. Of course Island Watch continues to be my go-to purveyor of medium priced, non-gray market watches. Marc continues to offer first class service and help.”
“I bought this watch as an upgrade for a Seiko SNK I've worn the past couple of years. I have a smaller wrist (just at 6") and the SKX013 is the perfect size. The quality of the jubilee bracelet is decent, but there are plenty of great straps to use with it (mine is currently on a dark gray perlon).
I knew going into it that there are some QC issues on the entry level Seikos so your mileage might vary. The 7S26 movement is known to vary in accuracy out of the box. The one I purchased is around +2/sec per day. In terms of other (very) minor QC issues, one of the applied hour markers of the dial is just touch off. Also, the date wheel is just a hair off center. While somewhat annoying at first, I've grown to love the watch and its minor defects-- "unique character". All that to say I would not expect perfection, however it is a great value at its price.
I'd start with the SKX review on The Urban Gentry YouTube channel if you're considering an SKX.”
