Questions and answers
- Which is better for everyday office wear?
- The Seiko SRPB41. Its blue dial, 41mm steel case and Hardlex crystal suit a dress setting, and 50 m water resistance covers daily wear. The Casio is thinner and lighter but reads casual.
- Can I swim with either watch?
- No. The Seiko is rated 50 m and the Casio 30 m, and both are listed as not for swimming. Take them off before swimming or showering.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Casio needs only a battery change about every 7 years, so it runs for decades with little care. The Seiko can last as long but needs periodic mechanical servicing, which costs more than the Casio itself.
- Is the Seiko worth the extra money?
- Yes if you want an automatic movement and a dress watch. At $380.00 at Island Watch as of November 3, 2026, it costs many times the Casio, so buy it for the movement and dial, not for timekeeping.
- Which is better for a small wrist?
- The Casio. At 33mm wide and 8mm thick it sits flat and light. The Seiko is 41mm wide and 11.8mm thick, which wears large.
- Does the Seiko need winding?
- Only if it has stopped. It winds from wrist movement, and you can hand-wind it to restart. The Casio runs on its battery with no winding.
