About this deal

Heimdallr has produced its own version. It’s slightly larger than the original but otherwise is faithful to the skin diver styling of the Seiko. The Rolex Submariner is arguably the world's most copied watch. And it's not just Chinese brands creating homages of this model. You can see Submariner style watches on your local high street - many from big-name brands. That's a good question. I own the Seiko so this watch wouldn't be for me. But if you don't already own the Seiko, and the watch is now discontinued, your options are shrinking.

Either way, they're an interesting company that produces some exciting homage models. They're particularly strong when it comes to recreating classic dive watches. They're keen to point out that they're an independent brand. They aren't linked to San Martin and other similar Chinese homage brands. They claim to be founded by watch fans, stating " we are not a Chinese factory brand".Seiko is a bit odd in their pricing and in what one gets -- uninspired bracelets with stamped clasp, DiaShield coating at some price points but not in other models that cost more, when one gets Hardlex or Sapphire, etc., so, for years, it was a difficult brand for me to appreciate, until finally finding one model I just loved and I became interested in the brand itself. I think there are certainly comparable or better options in how Seiko movements are cased up, so I agree in principle on certain models where Seiko cuts corners. The Sharkey watches in general seem well-reviewed, from everything I've come across, about them. Phoibos also gets a lot of compliments. As you say, however, it depends on the individual if a "better" version of a Seiko, even for less money, is a desired buy, or not, if it's not actually from Seiko. All owners of Heimdallr watches can enjoy a 2-year official warranty in our store, as long as you have a warranty card and no matter where your buy. He keeps an eye out for invaders, using his keen eyesight and hearing. He has gold teeth and is described as the whitest of all the Norse Gods. Secondly, this is an inexpensive way to get the Submariner aesthetic. It's very affordable and again offers decent specifications.

And Heimdallr uses reliable Japanese automatic movements in their watches. When you get a Heimdallr watch that mimics a Seiko watch, it is usually powered by a branded Seiko movement. Assuming you're ok with wearing a homage watch, then the question becomes more about which brands to choose.It’s a Chinese watch, inspired by a historical Japanese piece and definitely the first place to start with this brand. Ironically, the Heimdallr has a higher spec Seiko automatic movement than the original Seiko does. So it's another watch that represents good value for money. So don't let the brand name confuse you. Let's jump in and learn more about them. Then we'll look at the best watches that they currently offer.
