I find these OK as they are re-specced SKX divers made to be non-diver "sports" watches

 

The change of movement from the old and tired non-hacking, non-hand-winding 7s26 to the hacking and hand-winding 4R series is a welcome change, but not the others IMHO.


Loss of screw-down crown
Loss of luminous pip on insert
Downgrade of water resistance from 200m to 100m

All of this results in these watches not meeting the ISO 6425 specification for diver watches (which all modern Seiko divers' meet) hence no "DIVER'S" mark on the dial.
