I want to add an everyday watch to the pile. Seiko diver. Something rugged I can swim with so 200m? Steel bracelet a must. Probably just a simple black face. Automatic or solar.
What models should I be looking, at they’re all so damn close. |

I personally don't like the steel bracelets... however I'm pretty sure you can buy them directly from Seiko, or aftermarket.
Therefore, buy what you like. There's an Orange Monster for sale on EE (not mine), but the model is getting dated. I like the PADI designs, personally. |

Just got a new SNE589 for my work week, when I can't keep an auto running. Pretty happy with it so far.

Since they don't make the 007 anymore, I'd say a Long Island Watch "clone."

I bought a King Turtle, but realized it was a little big for my wrist. A few months later I got a Willard that feels better for me. I also like it because it has one less complication to worry about adjusting/setting.

The bezel has worn in a bit over the last 3 years I've been wearing it, though it still maintains unidirectional ratcheting nicely. I do like the 120 teeth. My Citizen Promaster Diver's 200 that I rarely wear has only a 60 tooth bezel and feels "cheap" by comparison. |

OP, 200m water resistance is not required for swimming. It's a standard for serious tool watches but think about how fucking deep that is and ask yourself if you'd even want to be that far under water in a damn submarine. |

Coming from a 38mm Hamilton the 42 seems to be my sweet spot.  Attached File |

I wanted a good low maintenance, grab and go quartz diver and picked up a Seiko SNE589 a couple of months ago. Solar charging and no battery replacement needed! Looks pretty good too. It's basically the 42mm version of the SNE573 that's posted above. It comes with the steel bracelet but I changed mine out with a 4 ring Zulu strap.

I missed them when they were out, they were discontinued fast, and I never snagged one. Seiko was horrible for not continuing them. |
