It's got fat in its old age! Can Seiko not produce an interesting watch under 42mm these days?
Just picked mine up from the Seiko Boutique in Knightsbridge
I went with the original colour scheme to match my original H-558, the one in the middle.

This is a reissue I like.
Very nice. How is the seconds hand - does it hit the markers all the way round?
How much ? £420?
Hi - did they have the gold accented one? (Gilt hands and bezel) - thanks!
Nice collection OP
Id like one of these but I'm trying to trim the collection........must resist.
Has anyone got the reference for these?
Just ordered from watcho, 15% discount! :-)

They may well come down in price soon, like the Solar Tunas. But I have it now, that’s the important thing! 😉 Plus I got to take the warranty card home straight away!
I wasn’t shown it. I only asked to see those two but guess they would have shown me the Gold if they had it.
That looks like my next watch.. Thanks for photos

Sorry quick question (despite the fact I've ordered it now anyway)....what's the bezel made of?
Nice. Thinking of treating my dad to one, a payback to the original he bought when I was born and now mine.
Still waiting for my H558 to be returned by Seiko. They couldn’t service but battery and seal test was an ok.

I’ve not really got the available funds right now as the house completion is imminent- hummm
I really like these and want one at some point but not at £400.
I bought the Gold Solar Tuna last year at almost £400 and Goldmiths had them last month for £189 so I think I’ll wait a few months and watch the prices.
Cheers

Matt London - I’m thinking about one of these too and your picture is tantalising!
Would you have any more real life pics please?
I’ve only seen the few that are on google and none that really show the watch!

Got mine today from Jura
The Seiko rep has told them they are going to try and get the gold ones for them
Love the watch
Jura were fab on pick up
So give them a call if you’re ordering
My eyesight not great and struggling to set mine
I’ve got a couple of questions via pm
Using my iPad Pro they actually didn’t come out too bad!

It's been shipped now!
Nice watch
My new Arnie Pepsi is on the way to me .
Looking forward to seeing the new 1
Already have the original .
Fancied a bit of colour in this new model.

Mine arrived today....for £357, I think it's the perfect grab and go watch. Solar, tough, 200m WR, ana-digi, really love it!
Blurry pics entirely my fault ;-)
The reissue looks quite large, out of interest, would those of you who have both take a NOS original, or the reissue?

These reissues look great. Will go for a Pepsi myself to differentiate it from my Citizen aqualand.
Does the second hand line up with the markers on those bought so far?
May I ask where did you source for that price?

Are the pushers on the left hand side screw down? Any thoughts from owners on how that affects usability?
Drilled lugs too
I really feel that this would’ve been a more attractive reissue if they had copied the original’s left hand pushers instead of the screw down protrusions. The proportions look odd to me.
I really like Ana-digi watches from a practicality point of view, analogue hands much easier to read at a glance than digital, and digital works better as a chrono/date function/alarm setter. Watches of this type were everywhere in the 80’s and I had loads of (cheaper) versions as a schoolboy. I want to like Casio g shock versions but they persist with tiny and /or negative lcds which I just can’t read unless in perfect sunlight - I know these are the iconic versions but I do wonder why they went out of fashion for so long whilst Casio 5600’s etc never went away

I think the new pushers were added to 'compliment/balance' the large crown.
I always keep my 558/601 digital on the date-as said super easy to read-
I must resist buying one
Really wanted to like this watch but now i have seen the pictures the digital display is far too small compared with some Casio's.
At least it has saved me buying another watch.
I am on the verge of needing spectacles for daily living. I feel that both the new and old Arnie no longer fulfil my practical needs because I cannot easily read the digital display.
I liked the original even though the backlight was dim and barely illuminated the LCD to the point e i could not read it at night. I like the reimagined Arnie because it looks like an Arnie. The aesthetic of which I have always liked.
I will have to do a separate post of all of my Ana-Digi watches someday, I may have to buy some batteries first though! I suppose it will illustrate my personal perspective on watch collecting. It’s not Top Trumps, i buy them because I like the look of them!
BTW the most practical Ana-Digi I have owned until now is a Breitling B50. I cant see the new Arnie beating that. But that may be because the display on the B50 is bigger, brighter and I am getting more short sighted!
