The Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER (ref. ssh165j1) is a quartz chronograph watch, with a 42mm stainless steel case, 12.9mm thick, powered by the 5X83 movement. Water resistance is rated to 100m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $2,200.
Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER for its unique dial colors and vintage-inspired design, with many appreciating its compact 39mm case size and 100m or 200m water resistance. Reviewers and owners note the V192 solar movement’s power reserve indicator and its reliability, though some owners express a preference for automatic movements. One owner finds the $700 price for a solar quartz model expensive, while another criticizes the €860 price point and desires a thinner case and a bracelet with quick-release or micro-adjustment. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER for its distinctive aesthetic and versatile wearability, despite some reservations about its price and case thickness.
