If you’re gracious enough to be a frequent reader of our tiny corner of the interwebz (hello!!), by now you’re probably familiar with the Seiko 5 Sports dive style automatic watch. It’s been getting a lot of run lately, and was recently mentioned in our newish Double Time series.
They’re solid watches. Well made, with a dependable automatic movement. Heritage brand, and it’ll look good with almost anything casual, smart-casual, and can even pull some duty with dressier clothes.
The problem is their price can swing as much as $100 at authorized dealers, such as Macy’s.
But thankfully they just hit the low end of that big swing:
Along with their field-y, SRPE brothers, this is about as good as it gets for these particular watches. Tagged by Macy’s as having the “lowest price of the Spring Season,” both the 5-Sports Dive Models and the field-y SRPE models are now well under two hundred bucks.
And unlike gray market dealers, you should be getting a full manufacturer’s warranty with an authorized dealer.
There’s a few more style & color options than those six shown above, but those are the highlights.
