You need one with 1000m on it just in case you go snorkelling.

That’s a very cool watch
These two for me. I bought the snarky sharkey as a cheap way to try the size and shape however it is a very good quality watch for the money. It no longer gets worn as I bought the Seiko soon after and it’s my favourite grab and go watch.
I do like S.Ls blue case version as well.
Edit... I tell a lie!
I forgot I also have the kinetic GMT tuna as my holiday watch
I obviously need to thin the collection if I can’t remember the watches I actually own! (Not a stealth sales post)

2 300m Tuna's, I quite like them even they are rather large

Picked mine up on SC for a song.
Wondered why it took me so long to feel the Tuna love.

Some stunners there. Tony’s photos really show them off.
I won't be loved for this, but the Sharkey is a better watch
Valentine's Day mate, not April Fool's.
Sapphire crystal, NH35 movement, and a better bracelet. The 120 click bezel is excellent, and unlike Seiko, the Sharkey customer service is renowned. I am a retired retailer, and it's the norm for people to believe the original is always the best, but believe me, this isn't always the case. I also have the Sharkey Tuna, and that is excellent as well. Both watches are infinitely better than my Seiko SKX009. Despite owning three Seiko watches, and having owned many more, I don't believe they offer good value for money any more.

Does the Sharkey have any manufacturing iso rating? Would you trust it if you went diving with it? Do you know what metals are used to manufacture the case/bracelet?
If only Seiko had realised that they could have improved their watch simply by adding their own bottom-end movement...
It's spring, so, Spring Drive !
Great to see so many Tuna's on here,
Here is my two modern ones, buying more could easily become bad (good?) habbit:
Oh and a Tiger TST if that counts:

Great pics, getting me interested in this watch again!
I sold my 007 some years ago, but this has easily quenched my thirst for another!
Evening all,
I'm thinking of going for the Tuna S23629J1 & I'd appreciate some advice;
All the photos I've seen make it look very big, all the reviews I've read say it's not as big as the paper dimensions would suggest.
In the real world, what's it like? For context I'm tall with a 7.75" wrist & I'm used to big watches (Gshock & a James Cameron are the biggest) so I can carry off a big watch within reason.
Additionally I've seen photos of Tunas with the day displayed in Japanese kanji. I know Seiko day wheels are usually in English & A. N. Other language but the kanji are a very neat touch.
Many thanks for any advice,
You'll be fine with that size wrist/what you are wearing at the minute. My wrists are around 6.75 and I wear the 300m tunas no probs, fit well and comfortable.
As for the kanji day wheel, I asked the question in one of the new tuna threads, I believe the S23629J1(ie. Uk) won't be kanji. The sbbn jdm version i assume will have a kanji day wheel so maybe look to source one of those if its a deal breaker.
