Seiko SRP772 Automatic Watch Review

seiko srp772 automatic watch review

You might be wondering what happened to all the watch reviews. Actually, I’ve tested and photographed a bunch of Swiss watches that never made their way onto this site.

Honestly, I just keep going back to my Japanese watches. I basically wear my favorite watch, the Seiko 5 Sports automatic, every day.

I added another Seiko to my collection that I’m now a huge fan of. Read my Seiko SRP772 automatic watch review below!
