Thank you Paul for being such a good sport as to loan me a watch that I told you I didn’t like! Ha! They just look like they belong in another decade, these Couturas, and it is a decade that isn;t trendy at the moment. Perhaps a revamp would broaden thier appeal? Or perhaps they will remain forever popular with men who wear sandals and socks. Cheers, Jody

It is a rather odd looking watch.
It's the Smashmouth of watches.
You literally look like your crapping yourself in the thumbnail.
The Coutura!!! This is the line that got me hooked on watches at 8 years old. Saw my first watch in a mall watch shop as I was running around playing. The sub dials got my little eyes to light up! Since then, I've been in love with watches. Particularly chronographs. Thank you Coutura!
Another great video brother, definitely not a good looking watch!
yeah, all the features, all of them, stirred and rolled into one beefy-boi package, with all the finishing being BOLD, albeit not exactly sophisticated. (Basically a 'Seiko Edifice', yeah?)
Imagine if they kept the dial, the indices (but all being the same length, obviously), the date window being okay where it is, but with a border, thinned out the hands, thinned out the text, downsized the case to 41mm; and threw everything else in the trash. Would look great IMO!
Yo Jody, no moans and niggles section…………….?
I wish Seiko would fix the Coutura line. They should keep the Predator (!) style, unjunk the dial, and – as you say – make the diameter smaller. They’d wind up with a fun, elegant watch. At its present size, I suspect the dial is so large, the designers simply can’t resist adding so much crap. “Oh look, we have room for a drawing of a pony! And a laser pointer!”
It’s ugly
A lot of effort may have gone in to the dial, but maybe a little more subtlety would have been better. Looks like it was designed by committee in different time zones…. wearing blindfolds
Looks like something a Transformer would be hunting
Oh poor little watch I feel so sorry for it 🥺😅😅😅
That's a hard pass for me too!
Fangio, Stewart, Prost, Senna, Mansell & Schumacher..?!?!
Jody, your shirt is AWESOME!
It's an ugly watch!
The faces always look to fussy for me … though I quite like the bracelet
Can we get a review of the Baltany 1926 Tribute? It's supposed to be a homage to the original Rolex Oyster, and it looks beautiful.
It's a little strange for my tastes but there's no law against unusual designs.
I hope you're gonna review PD's Nautilus homage soon. We'd love to hear what you think about it.
I want that F1 shirt!
Would be interesiting to see a review of the Orient golden eye 2 ( FAG03001B0 ), it's a relatively cheap watch, at about $150 US, with great dimensions (38.5mm diameter, 45mm lug to lug, and only 11.something mm thickness) and sapphire crystal. Not many people seem to know about it tho, and there are very few reviews. Maybe it's because of the somewhat controvesial 'golden eye', the skeletonised window in the dial (the open heart), but the split opinions would make the review all the more interesiting, in my opinion :).
If you are a guy with huge arms and big hands this watch looks nice on you, but on the average guy its just not an aesthetically pleasing look tbh. Good watch of course, but it needs to look nice on me or I am not going to wear it. But, as he says, the 56 mm is deceiving, so who knows !!
Not sure a mother could even love this abomination.
So many Seiko and for that matter citizens I see in shop windows are super busy, lack any cohesive design and in my view look cheap.
Hey Jody, is there any chance you could do a review of the new cadisen retro diver? It's an homage of the vintage big crown submariner.
As a big guy with a 9 inch wrist a lot of "normal" sided watches look like ladies watches on me, so I tend to by watches that are over 40MM. 42MM works for me, but some of the giant 50mm+ watches look cartoonish.
Looks like a watch a Klingon would wear.
What's wrong with predator armour?? 😉😎
one of the rudest Macy's jewelers I ever met wore one of those.
I see Couturas all the time in mall watch shops and they've always intrigued me – as in, why would anyone buy one. Obviously someone buys them, otherwise Seiko would kill them off. I'm guessing middle managers of the 'kiss up, kick down' school.
Agreed, it is almost like they bet each other who can make a watch so bad and get the public to still buy it!
Hey Jody why don't you review a Casio aw-80
At least it looks better on camera, than the mockups
No offence to everyone who loves this type of watch, but to me you can't beat a watch with a clean uncluttered dial. Just imagine having got a few pints down you in the pub and looking at the time on this big monster. Good luck with that one!
@ 0:42 links not working…
cant stop buying watches.. SOMEBODY PLS PUT SHACKLES ON MY WRISTS
Coutura's are generally for "developing world" not to say the infamous "third world" markets. For an African, an Indian, Middle Eastern maybe even Russia and Middle Asia, a Coutura is a Rolex!
I’ll never buy another watch with integrated bracelet again I have exactly 7 inch wrists also, I got a Movado Luno sport on sale a few years ago. Oh sure, they give you “half links” but they are more like three-quarter sized links so it is impossible to get a fit that is not too tight or too loose. I planned to keep it, so I took drastic measures and used a dremel tool to bore out about 2 mm from inside the band and now it is fine.
Any future watch I get will have a clasp with micro adjust holes, like my perfect fitting Tactical Frog V2
Dial looks great, to big, looks like dragon scales……
The bracelet looks like a copy of the Tag link series . They are outdated too ….
Just got a Casio steel shock which does more and looks much better , can’t see why this Seiko would complete against that or those J mentioned. Seiko are odd they do beautiful looking watches and howlers !
They should have call it..The Predator…
The two tone makes you look like a German taxi driver in his Mercedes W 124.
