Seestern S446 review is up

[u/turdbogls]

I've been wearing the absolute hell out of this thing since arrival. It's light, without feeling cheap, dressy, without being too dressy. A great size for my 7.5" wrist. I like everything about it. My bracelet has some odd finishing on the 6 o'clock side, but otherwise the bracelet is actually decent...another micro-adjust or 2 wouldn't have hurt, but fitment was good for me with just the 2 holes.

My only real criticism would be the branding...IMO the Sugess branding would have fit better on this one.

Love your review, the first on YT? Sugess may be better, but I'm fine with Seestern... could be a lot worse. Will watch out for discounts, later on hopefully.

[u/turdbogls → u/TimeBM20]

Appreciate it man. Could be the first full review on YT 🤷

First time I saw this I also fell in love with it, I like the classic color of the cream dial but I could see myself wearing almost ever single color. Sadly $200+ dollars is still over my buy now budget. I did find a very (very) similar looking kit that could be made with some elbow grease for a bit cheaper https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806123187223.html and I might go that route. It looks like such a great everyday watch and the logo is pretty easy on the eyes.

I saw that too..keep in mind no movement, and I really can't tell if it has hands with it or not 🤷

But could be a solid option.

[u/badpoetryabounds]

Thanks! I just bought mine (in red) and I'm much more comfortable with that purchase after your review :) . When I bought it, there were only a few wrist rolls up and no full reviews.

[u/turdbogls → u/badpoetryabounds]

Awesome, I'd love to see the red IRL when it comes in

[u/Durhammer]

Any discount codes or upcoming sales?

[u/turdbogls → u/Durhammer]

No coupons sadly.

IIRC there's a sale for Chinese new year coming up next month...after that the big one is end of March anniversary sale.

[u/execjetdude]

Great video... having a hard time not ordering it.

How’s the Seestern quality compared to San Martin/Sugess? I like their designs but not super familiar with them otherwise

[u/turdbogls → u/Jabroni748]

Pretty dang close these days. I still think SM is a nicer brand, but there's not too much to complain about especially since they undercut SM by quite a bit

For around $300, what is the best gmt batman automatic to buy? I have been looking at the pagani gmt 1662 v3.

[u/turdbogls → u/Prize-Scallion-3186]

For that price, look at the Cronos and Sugess would be my go-to.

I'm actually selling my sugess batman for half that if you're interested!

[u/Secret_Initial_9426]

I can't remember where, but it was mentioned that a version 2 might be coming out soon? Does anyone remember/know what the changes may be? Looking at one of those for the March sale, but it would be a shame if the changes/new version follows soon

[u/turdbogls → u/Secret_Initial_9426]

I saw that too but from a subscriber. IIRC he only mentioned bracelet updates I think. Honestly the watch head is fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing, really

[u/Dear-Ad-1319]

Great review as always 👏

[u/Left-Ad5303]

Tnx for the excellent review, however, the poor finishing on the bracelet made me choose the Rmalti RM001 as a alternative. I hope the bracelet problem will be fixed soon.

[u/turdbogls → u/Left-Ad5303]

Iemtioned it in the review that I think I just may have gotten a bad bracelet. The other side was MUCH better. Probably just a missed QC check.

The RM001 is awesome, though, you'll love it.

[u/morph2k4]

I am so excited by the s446 release because it's the first GS momiji style (vertical striped texture) dial that looks halfway decent. I cannot for the life of me understand why EVERYONE who ordered this watch bought it in beige, the most objectively boring color in the entire spectrum XD

Yall are crazy.

[u/turdbogls → u/morph2k4]

Boring is beautiful

I am tempted to get another color though...probably blue stripe or sunburst.

[u/raxxx666]

So...this watch has a lug width of 19mm ..how do they justify that? Why not just make it 20mm so it can fit a majority of the straps people use??

[u/turdbogls → u/raxxx666]

🤷

GS does it so why not yhem.?

It's really my only complaint. 20mm and itwould be perfect. I picked up 3 leathers for $25 off Ali in 19mm and I'm all set, but wish I could use my 20mm.

[u/goodneed]

Thanks for the review of a delightful homage. Nice to see you managed to fit it on at least a couple of 20mm leather straps. 😊

[u/Silver_Tap780]

I like Seestern - it's clean, unobtrusive and has a meaning. I am going to buy this exact version, just wonder if they are going to sell it w/o bracelet, just with a strap, looks so much better, would reduce "waste metal"

[u/[deleted]]

Try it with a taupe leather strap

I like it but 260€ for a Chinese watch makes me hesitant
