Seiko Prospex Sumo SBDC069 Blue Coral

Just recently purchased an SBDC069 Coral Blue Sumo from Shopping in Japan and I am absolutely thrilled with the watch. Stunning work of art by Seiko that wears beautifully on the wrist with that classic Sumo case styling and the mesmerising blue sunburst dial with the subtle pops of yellow. This isn't my first and it certainly won't be my last watch purchase from Shopping in Japan. I keep coming back because their service is absolutely impeccable. Erika is always wonderful and gave me great advice during the purchase process. Despatch and shipping to Australia was very fast and the watch was really well packed and arrived safely in pristine condition. You cannot go wrong no matter what watch you wish to purchase - Shopping in Japan are top notch for service, price and quality and I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to buy a quality watch. Thank you for another great watch shopping experience and I will be back soon !

I waited two years to order the Seiko Sumo model as the dimensions can be intimidating. This watch is beautiful and wish I would of bought sooner. Thank you Shopping in Japan!!

What a great watch ...it was just what I was looking for...it has significant feel on the wrist...a nicer bracelet then anything else in the 700/760 dollar slot...and the face is sapphire crystal...

Beautiful! This is my second Sumo purchased from ShoppinginJapan. Retailers here understand online retail. 10/10 would purchase again. I will be buying more from them in the future. The watch is awesome!

Really nice watch lovely blue colour. Only thing the strap let’s the watch down really cheap feel to it and spoils what would be a beautiful watch.

My first seiko diver lasted me thirty years and I really loved that watch! It went with me everywhere! Through many adventures, mishaps and everyday toil it became more than a watch, more like a mate! When it finally packed it in, I felt like my dog had died! Since then I've had many substitutes, some quite expensive but for one reason or another, none of them quite hit the spot! Until I came across this little beauty! And it is truly a beautiful watch with a stunning dial that loves the outdoors and especially the beach, where it thrives in the surf and the sand! This watch I know is the second generation and has the older 6R15 movement and the hardlex crystal! But everything about this watch is beautiful and rock solid and in the month that I've had it, it's barely left my wrist and has been accurate to about three seconds a day! Another great thing about this watch is that it's Japanese made and at 700 Australian dollars, you don't feel the need to baby it and its below the import tax threshold! Shopping in Japan was also pleasure to deal with and the package arrived in Sydney in less than a week and came complete with some tasty Japanese savoury treats! I love this watch and if I get thirty years happy wear and tear from it! Then I'll be singing seiko praises in the old folks home!

The pins on this watch broke when i wanted to shorten the bracelet which i have done so many times on Seiko watches, but such a stupid idea to have pins with collars so small in these watches. I must say shoppinginjapan is by no means at fault with this aspect as they have been such a great service to me and excellence by their customer service rep Mina. I think Seiko require to look at their customers needs more than what they are doing.

Accurate and reliable, I love this watch. Looks much nicer in real life. Supplier service is prompt and courteous. Shipped the first 48 hours and was delivered to Canada in 5 days. Would definetly buy again. Thank you Mina!

I'm very happy with this piece. The dial is brilliant blue and the fit and finish are 100%. Even more important to me than the watch itself was the customer service. I originally ordered the wrong version of this watch and had to cancel the order the next day. Sara, the Shopping in Japan representative, assisted me and made sure I got the piece I wanted. I received my order within 1 week (I live in Canada), well packed and in perfect working condition. I high recommend Shopping in Japan.net

I will set a bit of context first as it might help someone who is trying to decide whether this watch is for them or not. I love watches and have been into watch collection for several years now. The watches I buy end up in 3 categories: 1. I don’t feel a connection to it and immediately let it go 2. I like it enough to keep it around for a few months or a couple of years and then let it go. 3. I immediately feel a lot of connect with a watch and I know I will keep it permanently. This watch firmly belongs in the third category for me! It has quickly become one of my all time favorites! No matter how you compare, even within the Seiko brand itself, or across brands, this has to be one of the most well- finished watch at this price point. The case finishing is absolutely gorgeous and this iteration (and not the newer generation) has more personality due to the thicker lettering on the bezel. This coral blue is brilliant and I like it better on the Sumo compared to that of the coral blue monster. The bracelet is decently finished but I swapped it out for a Strapcode Crafter Blue rubber strap which increased the visual appeal of the watch even more and makes the watch feel even more upmarket. Lastly, compared to the case size, the watch wears small. I have a 6.75" wrist and that was one reason I stayed away from the Sumo till now. Upon trying it on, this doesn't look oversized at all. So, as long as your wrist size is 6.5" and above, and like the Sumo, just go for it. It is absolutely worth the price!!

Very prompt delivery. Perfect alignment. Watch runs within plus 3 seconds. Beautiful dial and the case is uniquely Seiko. Highly recommend. Buy with confidence before they are discontinued.
