Owners widely report the Seiko Prospex LX line's finishing is a step up from other models, with a case that sits well on the wrist, and some praise the green sunburst dial with blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal as phenomenal. However, owners note the high MSRP limited sales, with some desiring smaller cases and a reduced price, and others experienced quality control issues such as detached second hands and peeling DLC coating, leading to concerns about fragility. On balance, owners feel the Seiko Prospex LX line was discontinued due to pricing that alienated its target market, despite its attractive dial.
The Seiko Prospex LX line (ref. snr029j1) is a spring drive diver watch, with a 44.8mm titanium case, 15.7mm thick, powered by the 5R65 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 300m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $6,500.
