The best looking Seiko diver under $4000 USD in my opinion. I wish the bracelet matched the lugs better but this watch looks better on straps anyway. I usually wear it on a Tropic strap. Sakura provided excellent customer service. By far the best price and delivered to the US in less than a week. Watch began losing a lot of time 3 months in and Sakura honored the Japanese warranty. Had to send it back to Japan but the watch is now running -1 second per day!

Beautiful watch, excellent customer service and very fast shipping. I was unsure about the watch’s exact measurements and Kota took his time to send me pictures of the watch with a ruler and gave me all the details I needed. I was impressed with his care to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Domo arigato!

I purchased the Edifice EQB-1100YDC-1AJF and it is a beautiful watch. Bluetooth sync, Sapphire crystal, solid link band. It has a charcoal IP coating, very nice. This watch has a similar look to the AP Oak. The finishing is on the level of my metal G-steels and my Oceanus. Sakura Watches are always my 1st choice when I'm looking for a particular watch. Best price and fastest shipping.

A very nice watch, especially at the price, that leans a bit to the dressy side of the tool watch spectrum. Let down a bit by the pin-and-collar bracelet, with no half links and only two adjustment holes. But it fits and is comfortable and I've barely had it off since it arrived. Sakura's description was accurate and its shipping was fast.

Excellent watch, and very happy with my purchase from Sakura Watches. Good communication from Sakura, and arrived quickly once shipped. As noted somewhere on the site, this model can require an extended delay in shipping, which it did. Other than that delay, everything was quick and easy.
The watch itself is fantastic. I was at first a little hesitant to get a Bluetooth equipped watch, as I'm used to the Multiband 6 capability of G-Shocks. But now that I've tried it, I think BlueTooth capability is fantastic.

What a fantastic watch for the money! Not available from the UK so ordered via Sakura Watches and delivered in good time with no duty paid! The watch itself is quite chunky but well proportioned and looks fantastic on. Very pleased with this watch and great service from Sakura Watches.

The Seiko is terrific. Sapphire crystal glass is the best I've seen. Dial clarity and ease of use is excellent. Extremely accurate with radio tower hook up - I'm in country AUS directly south of the tower in Japan, which will reach me here. Great fuss-free service from Sakura.

This is suck a underrated watch. The color palette of khaki, black, and camouflage pattern is casual, but with a luxurious feel. The case is a combination of several different colors, mirrored surface and stripes to create a casual yet luxurious look.
Good price from Sakura, two days delivery to Canada.

Could not expect more for the experience of purchasing a watch online. Kota from Sakura watches was prompt, professional, timely in communication and goes out of his way to ensure patient satisfaction. Watch came well packages, secured and as described. Watch itself is beautiful and special. Would buy again and highly recommend!!

A beautiful piece of Japanese engineering. So comfortable, this is the ultimate g-shock square, and has everything you will need in a watch. I am so pleased with it. Thank you for an excellent trouble free purchase. Only five days from ordering until arrival here in the UK ! I shall definitely be using Sakura for future purchases !

Very recently I purchased this Seiko SBTR015 with Sakura Watches.
The watch was brought to my attention via a Youtube review on JDM watches.
A tip to the Sakura Watches Team, the photos on the website are not really giving the brilliance and finish of the real product. So, the ´real deal´is way beyond my expectations.
To would be buyers I would like to say that if you buy a watch with Sakura Watches, be prepared to receive an excellent product in immaculate and spotless condition via firstclass courierservice. Sakura Watches has delivered the watch in original box with Japanese certifications and usermanuals. They have taken every precaution in the packaging to deliver the watch in splendid condition.
If you are looking to purchase a watch which is only available on the Japanese Domestic Market, Sakura Watches is the place to be.

Love the classic understated styling of this watch - very much reminds me of my 21st birthday present many moons ago. Fits beautifully and snugly on the wrist so it is quite slimline and hence avoids the knocks that many more bulky watches would not manage to do. A watch for any occasion and I'm delighted with it.

This is the first Seiko watch that I've bought. I am very happy with it, particularly the radio time syncing, and also with the service provided by Sakura Watches. Having the watch day switch from 28 to 1 automatically, as we moved from February to March was great !

Very good service from Sakura, the watch was extremely well packed and received in the UK 12 days after placing the order with notifications from Sakura and the courier throughout. I'm very pleased with the watch, it synchronizes with the MSF radio signal in London once the correct time zone has been set. I think the watch looks great but I found the strap to be uncomfortable and a little strange to wear at first. The clasp has a tight bend and I feel this would be suited to those with as slim wrist as the hinge sticks into the underside of my 18cm wrist. I have managed to flatten the curve a little and it is now more comfortable to wear. Also I found it strange that the end of strap actually finishes on the inside of my wrist (see the attached photo) which is the opposite to any other watch strap that I’ve had, I am now getting used to that too. Overall I am very pleased with the service, the watch quality, appearance and accuracy of the watch, the strap is good quality but unfortunately it was uncomfortable for me for the reasons already mentioned. Anyone purchasing from the UK should be aware that it will cost just over £100 in shipping and import fees.

Excellent watch, beautiful design, highly recommended. What made this a perfect purchase is the excellent service Sakura is providing, from shipping the watch in record time to in-time communication, the great care of packaging and the delivery. Everything was like "clock work" :-). Thank you Sakura.

The first time I saw this watch (SARF023) from Seiko website I know I got to have it. The whole akebono (night gives way to dawn theme) just struck me. I’m in love with it! Was a bit hesitant to order from Sakura watches as there are so many scams on the internet. I took my leap of faith and I was so, so satisfied. Not only the shipping was quick from Japan to USA, the price is cheaper than any US store I can find including the shipping. Will buy again from Sakura watches and highly recommend them.

Great Titanium Circuit Board Edition watch from Casio. I have all of their Titanium line watches Except the Stealth Wealth "All Black Model" because it just looks like a regular $50 G-Shock. But This "GMW-B5000TCC-1JR" Is Beautiful, I thought it's glossyness would take away from it, but don't kid yourself it just amplifies the digital circuity pattern it has. It's a very interesting design. I don't worry much about scratching up this watch as it has DLX coating and not easily scratched, plus I only wear my watches to dinner or a nice day out with no physical activity in mind, If you want a watch beatwr get yourself a 5600 or 5610u Model, that's a watch you can wear and not have to worry about scratches, chips or dings. These Titanium line are upper class and designed to wear on nice occasions, not your everyday watch.
This was my first time ordering with Sakura watches, Shipping was fast about 1 to 1 1/2 week from Japan to me, from placing order, to preping, shipping and arrival. Item was as described in New Condition and came well packaged in its original outer brown shipper with G-Shock description and model label on it. as well as the Beautiful Digital Circuit Board Watch Box.
Thank you all at Sakura Watches for the excellent Customer Service. ????????♂️

The Seiko SZSB011 is an absolute stunning watch! It should also get the nickname "baby Grand Seiko" as the SARX035 which I own as well.
The dial looks amazing, sometimes white but it is cream with a beautiful sunburst and has very well finished hands and indices. The lugs and bracelet are brushed and polished on the side as well as the bezel.
I was surprised about the accuracy of the 4R35 movement. Not even +2sec/day during the first week is a very good result at this price range.
The only criticisms are the folded endlinks, but at this price level i guess it's not too bad. And for me personally there was no need for a display back for a not decorated movement, this would keep the watch a bit thinner.
But altogether an impressive, convincing watch that's worth it's money!

Ordered this exact watch and it is actually a 40mm case diameter. Measured with multiple sets of calipers. Even though it was way bigger than depicted on this website did not fit me, I was luckily able to gift it to my husband. But beware, the size on this website is not accurate. Otherwise a great watch though

The watch has a classic look at feels very light on the arm due to the titanium. You can wear it on many different occasions, and its smaller size fits great on smaller to medium size wrists. The radio sync function does not work in the USA (to my knowledge) and I could not sync it using an app on my phone. Overall a great purchase and a fine addition to my collection.
