Seiko Prospex Street Series Watches Hands-On Debut

While Seiko Prospex collection watches are all sports watches with a major focus on diving, the goal for the Street Series is to appeal to urbanites seeking fun and durable daily-wear watches that combine practicality with an inspired design Wearing these on my wrist I don't feel as though I am presented with anything highly innovative, but I know that a lot of people who are Seiko fans will appreciate that these are Prospex models that they can now wear to places where many previous Prospex timepieces might have been a bit too colorful or sporty Seiko matches the texture of the strap on the dial of the watch - which is something I've not seen before in the Prospex collection.

Seiko is no doubt galvanized by the success of textured dials in their dressy or formal watch collections, and I am sure it will be interesting to see if this trend continues to have appeal in their sports watches such as the Street Series Seiko playfully suggests that the texture of the dial is meant to suggest the look of pavement - given that these are "Street Series" watches Comparatively speaking these Seiko Street Series models are more mature, classier overall, and certainly help promote a functional as well as fashionable theme.

Retail price for each of the Seiko Prospex Street Series watches is $450 USD Seiko has created the #DiscoverYourCity hashtag for the collection and those who want to see more on social media. . Source
