Seiko SNM035 and SNM037 "LandMonsters"

[wizurd]

- Brand: Seiko

- Model number: SNM035/SNM037

- Official or unofficial Nickname: Landmonster

- Overview: A very solid watch with a great wrist presence. Comfortable, heavy, and accurate.

- Movement: 7S35, 200m WR, auto-winding (non-hacking, non-handwindable), 21,600BPH.

- Case review: The best case amongst any Seiko I have had upon my wrist. Very solid, heavy, and THICK.

- Crystal review: The crystal is clear and doesn't scratch but I actually have made a very small chip in my 035. Would love to see a sapphire crystal available for this model.

- Bracelet/Strap review: The SNM035 comes with a very nice, standard, Seiko folding/locking clasp SS bracelet. I have not had any problems with it and she always snaps shut with ease. The SNM037 comes with a Z20 which isn't a BAD rubber strap, but leaves a lot to be desired. They feel great with a Maratac Zulu strap!

- Bezel review: The Landmonster comes with a unidirectional rotating bezel, 120 clicks, and V-20 markings in orange with a small ball of lume at 12. Unfortunately my 035 has a very tight bezel which is hard to move and my 037 moves very freely. Since I don't use this function often I don't mind it not moving so it always stays in place. :o

- Special Features: The Landmonster comes with a bidirectional rotating compass which is used in conjunction with the position of the sun taking into account AM or PM. I have heard of this ring becoming loose and moving around on its own but I have not had a problem with either of mine.

- Closing opinions: I tried the watch on over a year ago at an AD and have yet to go more than a few days without wearing one of them. It is truly a stunning watch in person and I am always happen to have one and never plan on letting her go.


2-in-1 baby!

Hello Wizurd,

Nice review. I own the Seiko SNM035 and it's a great watch and built like a tank. I agree... it is very accurate. The inner ring compass on my Landmonster only moves 1 or 2 degrees; very very minor and I'm okay with that. Oh, and it's great for diving with no problems whatsoever..!

Thank for the review. Job well done!! :thanks

Cheers!

great watches both of them ,they are considered as the heaviest in weight
in their category....more than 205 grams....unfortunately only for the u.s market ...poor me..

Love my LandMonster, the weight, wrist presence, movement and like TonyT1969 my inner compass ring only moves a touch and I also dont mind it at all. I changed up my strap to a black rubber with orange stitching.
