Dive watches aren’t just great for diving. The durable, water-resistant cases, timing bezels, and bold legible dials also make them an excellent option for your everyday adventures. Seiko’s SNE series of quartz-powered divers are the perfect everyday grab-and-go dive watch. The reliable movement inside, modest case dimensions outside, and real-deal dive watch specs make this watch a particularly appealing option within its price range.
Measuring in at a very wearable 38.5mm wide by a scant (by dive watch standards) 10.6mm thick, the SNE is well-suited for a wide range of wrists. On the right side of the case, you’ll find a screw-down crown residing at 3 with crown guards on either side for added durability. The bold dial features classic dive watch design language, with lume-filled applied indices and a date display at 3. The hands are classic Seiko, with a wide syringe-inspired hand for the hours, an arrow-shaped hand for the minutes, and a slim seconds hand with a circular lumed counterbalance. Sporting the Prospex “X” logo on the dial, you know this watch means business. With 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down case back, a silicone rubber strap, and a unidirectional rotating dive bezel, the SNE is ready for underwater activity.
Inside the watch, you’ll find Seiko’s V147 movement keeping track of the time. The V147 is a solar-powered quartz movement that is accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month. Charging up the watch is easy, as all you need to do is show it some light every once in a while. When fully charged, the watch will run for 10 months in total darkness, so no need to worry about battery changes. There’s room in nearly any collection for a solid, reliable quartz watch that’s always ready to go.

Founded in 1881, Seiko began as a humble jewelry and clock store and has since grown into the watchmaking juggernaut that it is today. If the technology for a watch they wanted to make didn’t exist, Seiko made it happen under their own roof. Since Seiko is vertically integrated, they can customize nearly any part of their watches to their own design and specs in house. From the first true dive watch, to one of the first automatic chronographs, and completely new ways of powering a watch like Spring Drive, Seiko’s list of horological achievements is lengthy. They’ve done everything all the way down to creating their own lab-grown and regulated quartz crystals for timekeeping.
