“The Seiko SRPE93 Turtle is a quintessential dive/field watch. I ordered the watch after discovering Long Island Watch on YouTube. This watch and I assume all Seiko watches are much more impressive in real life as opposed to images or video. It is keeping near perfect time (2 seconds a day on average). I recognize it's historical value and significance so I don't have any complaints and only one thing I'd personally change about it, and that's a personal thing. I wish the minute and second hands hit the hour and minute markers if not overlap such as the 6105 etc. Otherwise it's perfect to me. The strap it comes on is extremely comfortable and keeps watch from flopping around even when worn loose.”
“Great watch but the strap is lacking. I love the way it looks but it doesn't sit properly on my wrist. The buckle side is too short and the side with the holes is too long. As a result the buckled strap places the buckle way off center and the watch wants to ride at 90 degrees from normal position on my wrist. I have to cinch the strap up very tight to prevent this, and that is uncomfortable. I'll be ordering a bracelet.
Other than that I love it. Fit and finish is excellent and it keeps great time.”
“Great watch, came in excellent condition, the check out process was smooth and got my watch on time, will definitely purchase from Long Island watches again, very trustworthy and you know you’re getting a genuine product.”
“I never much fancied this particular Seiko model; the case never sat well with my design preferences. But I appreciated the historical roots of the watch and decided to get one for my collection. I'm glad I did. I find myself wearing it pretty regularly.
The Turtle wears surprisingly well for a watch of its size. All-day comfortable and it doesn't overwhelm my 7-inch wrist in any way.
I've worn it on several outdoor excursions already, and it's held up well to the rain, bumping, and bashing it's received so far. Time-keeping has been excellent so far, running about +5 s/d. Lume is amazing. My Turtle arrived perfectly aligned, so no complaints about the case, hands, or bezel. All spot-on.
Disclaimer: I never intended to keep this watch on the rubber strap, so it went on a NATO within minutes of opening the package. So I can't comment on the band. However, it seems similar to the band on my Seiko Arnie, and I wear that all the time with complete satisfaction.
Lastly, Island Watch is always a pleasure to work with.”
