I am after buying a seiko for work. It must have a diving/timing bezel, >100m WR, date complication. I would also like it to have applied indices, AR coated sapphire crystal and good lume. I have small wrists, 6.5 so the smaller the watch the better. No budget, but the cheaper the better.

Based on my preference what would be the watch you would recommend for me. I am tempted by the Seiko mini turtle but just wondering what else might work better? Thanks.

I have never seen the mini turtle in the metal, but it has always intrigued me. Not sure why it isn’t more popular. It seems to meet most of your criteria.m

So the king turtle (not sure about AR coating). Yes on paper the dimensions are large, but its lug-lug length is less than my 5 digit submariner and wears smaller. My wrist is also 6.5 inch and can pull it off. The willard references may also be a possibility and are smaller, but I am still on the fence about the case shape.

Check out the SPB range. At 40.5 mm and the WR you desire there are some cool options. I like the SPB 143 and 147 the best.

SLA033 is the only right answer...kidding, of course, there is no one right answer, but, you may be surprised as to how well it fits in real life as opposed to the size on paper...you will have to find preowned, but, it is an awesome watch.

Get a Seiko SKX007, you can replace the crystal with a sapphire crystal and you're done.
