Over the years, I spent way too much time...
Looking at the various models and I was mostly confused. The first decision was to have a diver and then it was about a combination of aesthetics, proportions and value (priced under $500). Somehow, I got attracted to the PADI and Save the Ocean models but I also always wanted a Pepsi style. Like I said in another post, this one happened to be on sale at Seiya and I just went for the opportunity to own my first Seiko and could not be happier. Well, except for the fact that I still need to deal with the bracelet sizing and/or strap choices.

After decades of procrastinating and looking at...
A million different Seiko watches, I finally pulled the trigger on my first one. Thanks to all who gave me guidance and encouragement. Now, I just need to figure out how to size the bracelet to fit my wrist. ...
Very nice, can’t go wrong with a Turtle, or a Padi Turtle.
My guess is that more may follow!
I was looking for save the ocean...
But it was out of stock and this was on sale at Seiya. Quite happy for now. ...
Coolest it is...
But the micro adjustments in the clasp aren't enough. I have a 7.5" wrist.
I have this one it’s awesome!
Pro tip! Throw the bracelet in garbage and grab some cool u clue seiko straps. !!!!
Thanks! Don't know anything about Seiko straps
And I could use some guidance for those.
I realize there is some luck involved in mine giving my small wrist a good fit. You certainly could toss the bracelt but to me the quality and finishing on its bracelet (for the price)
is part of its charm. On that aspect I lucked out.
Pepsi Turtle is a classic
I would say, go for a matching crafter blue silicone, check out strapcode website, and you”ll be happy. Only advice: Beware, I also wanted to have one Seiko and ended up with many many.
Ended up with the very same Seiko . . .
. . . last spring. Partial to its looks, and no complaints about performance. It's all about bang for the buck, in my opinion; I've paid more to service some of my vintage Omegas. Best, Art ...
Mine is more like 6½" . . .
. . . so I would expect PADI to be a very comfortable fit for you.
Yours ahead of me
I’ve only just started considering a Seiko or GS or Credor and you’re miles ahead of me. What made you decide for this particular model?

Had it sized yesterday...
And, it feels great. The weight almost disappears on my wrist. ...
That was last night...
This morning I can squeeze a pen between my wrist and the bracelet and it feels comfy... LOL! ...
