After having the SLA037 for a month, this is how I think about the pros and cons of this diver.
Pros:
1.The Ever brilliant steel is shiny and if as promised by Seiko should let the watch looks new even after many years(have to wait and see)
2. The high beat movement let the seconds hand sweep smoothly.
3. The dial color is just right ranging from dark blue in low light to greyish blue in stronger light.
4.The size of 39.9 mm is just right and fit the wrist very comfortably.
5. The silicone strap is very comfortable and should last a long time.
6. The Zaratsu polishing of the watch make the watch look really nice.
Cons.
1. A bit pricey for a Seiko even with the new alloy and high beat movement, has to be a Seiko's fan to buy and appreciate it.
2. Despite the high beat movement, it is not the most accurate, averagely gaining 10 seconds a day.
3. It would be nice if Seiko can provide a metal bracelet with this limited edition.
All in all, a very nice addition to my Seiko's collection.

Seiko is always great value for money at every price point.
I am still hung up on the oldies. ...
Nice review!
I have the SLA 017, the straight 62MAS reissue, which I really love and enjoy. I’m glad you like yours. ...
Oh they are?
Thought exactly the same except for the dial and bracelet color (and movement).
Thanks.
I dont have a caliper so i did it the brute way and they looked the same width.
Forgot about that ever brilliant steel
But is it really different? For Rolex i understand the 916L and oystersteel are just the same. Just called it differently after a certain point.
I would agree with everything you said, especially the poor timekeeping
I own a 'Sapphire Seiko' diver in the roughly $1000 range I LOVE and wear for work, under the radar but gives me pleasure... getting no attention, although occasionally mistaken for a Submariner by NON WATCH people... anyway... I have the same poor timeke...
Why i stay below the 1k level for Seikos. I think that's where they truly shine, where 20 seconds makes sense, what Seiko really WAS. Having said that, I do like the SLA033. If it doesn't find its way into their prospex line...
I might just bite the bullet and get one. Hope I won't be too late by then
