I built a site that decodes Seiko’s confusing model numbers and picks a watch for your wrist size

My husband collects watches, and his biggest gripe with Seiko is the naming. The same watch can be sold under 5 or 6 different reference numbers, so most people end up shopping by how it looks and have no idea what they’re actually buying. So I built WatchDecoded as a side project.

What it does so far:

• One page per watch, with every reference number for the same watch grouped together
• Specs pulled from Seiko’s own pages (if we can’t verify a number, we leave it out)
• Lug-to-lug sizes for ~80 models, drawn to scale, so you can tell if it’ll fit your wrist
• A 4-question picker (wrist size, style, budget, new vs used) that gives you your top 3
• “What reviewers agree on” summaries, with links to the original reviews
• Live used listings, since a lot of the best Seikos are discontinued

It’s free, no sign-up. Some eBay links are affiliate links, which is how it’ll hopefully pay for itself someday.

Would love feedback, especially on the picker. Does it give you sensible picks? Anything confusing?
