Not always known for great watch deals, David Jones are making a play to change that right now. They have 30% off a range of already-discounted Seiko watches. Of those that I have checked so far they are all time lows. Here are a few:

Presage SRPH93J - made in Japan - $405.30
Prospex SFK003J - green Solar GMT w/AR sapphire - $587.30
Prospex SFK001J - blue Solar GMT w/ AR sapphire - $587.30
Prospex SRPG19K - PADI spec ed turtle auto 4R w/AR sapphire - $489.30
Coutura SRWZ21P9 - chrono w/sapphire - $370.30
Coutura SRWZ213P9 - chrono w/sapphire - $370.30
plus a few more, mostly ladies' dress watches.

Edit: only the blue GMT Prospex and PADI turtle are left.

Discount is added to the listed price when you add it to your shopping bag.
If click and collect isn't available at your local store DJ is offering free express delivery over $100, so that includes everything here.

      $489 for the "king" version isn't bad. But unless people want that specific colourway I feel like it's better to wait for the regular model at <$350

          I was gifted a Samsung smart active sports or something watch by the missus. I got sick and tired of it after 3 days of it constantly beeping and ringing. The worst part was it became another thing that I had to remember to charge.

          Yes, it measured my BP and sleeping patterns or whatever, but I see it as a disadvantage as now I've to think about privacy. The missy eventually asked if she could take it back as she would at least use it. Now she's using it.

        I'm the complete opposite - I had a smart watch and became irritated by the constant interruptions all the time and the feeling of always being 'connected' in some way. I switched to something analogue and not only do I enjoy a newfound interest in collecting interesting watches but I genuinely feel better because of it, too. YMMV

        • John Doh on 05/10/2023 - 14:46

          It would irritate me too. But you need to enable only what you need. I use a huawei watch so that I dont need charge everyday. Once in 8 to 10 days and I am good.

            @John Doh: So you have to turn smart features off, to make it a dumb watch, just to get it through a week? I mean a phone does pretty much everything a smart watch does, so it seems redundant right to get a companion to your phone.
            You can get a $30 casio to tell the time and it's battery lasts 10 years.

              @onlinepred: A smart watch can be used as a fitness tracker, or to recieve calls from your watch when your phones in another room and so on and so forth and can also enable all the features you require when needed. You can also change the watch face when you get bored. No, huawei watches dont need charging as much as other watches even with the features enabled.

              Anyways its dumb arguing in a thread who loves normal watches. Its like arguing iPhones are bad in a iPhone thread

                    Fitness tracker is a hobby

                    Sure thing, let's find out how much a smart watch used as a hobby fitness tracker is worth after 10 years and compare that to how an automatic Casio holds its value.

                    10$ watch do the same

                    Rubbish. Then show me a $10 watch that's as reliable, accurate, long lasting, high quality like a Seiko or Casio and will go on forever like an automatic or a solar and I'll buy it.

                    I'm not talking about Rolexes here, but you should still know that "expensive" is subjective. Some of my perfumes cost me over $600 a bottle and I didn't bat an eyelid getting those (they're worth more now if I were to resell).

                    Besides these BS smart watches are usually more expensive than these classic seikos, so I see absolutely no point in getting one of these.

              • onlinepred on 05/10/2023 - 18:10

                @John Doh: Why don't you just carry your phone with you? Your watch seems entirely redundant. Then you just need your phone and a cheapo fitness tracker.
                You should have just bought a fitbit, no need for this expensive hobby of buying expensive "smart" watches.

                You are the one that came to a watch thread and tried to argue that a fitness watch is better than a normal watch lol. Just because you like el cheapo "smart" watches. I use my Apple Watch for runs, and normal watches for everything else. Watches are a fashion item and can be a hobby. Fitness watches are for fitness. Smart watches are a luxury item that is just a pair to your phone, and does everything your phone does in a paired capacity, and then does everything a cheapo fitness band does. So if you just had your phone with you and a cheapo fitness band, you would save loads of money, the watch battery would last longer. Also changing the watch face to another terrible looking watch face might do it for you, but it still looks like a flat digital screen….

                  @onlinepred: Whats wrong in me coming to any thread. Why buy a fitness tracker and then wear another watch later when for some, a smart watch will just do both. Thats all I said. But people in here got offended because they love normal watches lol. Flat screens are fine for many. Your phone is a flat screen so is your TV, laptop and computer monitors. They all can display beautiful stuff.

                  • onlinepred on 05/10/2023 - 18:32

                    @John Doh: "Because smart watches exists and can do much more for less."

                    They do less than what a phone does. I have a phone for phone stuff, I have a smart watch for fitness tracking (mostly because I bought one, hated wearing it daily as it keeps buzzing, and looks terrible but keep it for fitness tracking), and I have normal watches for daily/nightly wearing.
                    There is no offense, there is simply opinions. IMO smart watches are a waste of money (aka a luxury item), most people I know only use them for a run every fortnight that they never look back on the details of, or they track their sleep for some insane reason - and of course reply to messages on a tiny screen. These things can be done on phones. If you want to track your heart rate as you are an elite athlete, then yes, buy a Garmin and a chest strap.

                    "Anyways its dumb arguing in a thread who loves normal watches. " - so you are calling yourself dumb? Or maybe you mean "Anyways its dumb arguing in a thread who loves 'smart' watches."

      Seiko used to be great value. In the last 5-7 years they've seemingly shifted themselves upmarket without improving much.

      Alba and Orient are the cheaper options from Seiko Epson corp. The former is kinda meh, the latter isn't officially distributed in Australia, so you need to buy greys from overseas

      During the same period, Chinese watches have become a lot better and more popular. It will be interesting to see how Seiko, Citizen etc. respond

      Personally I'm not ready to get a Chinese watch yet. A lot of them are homages, so they feel a bit IP infringement-y replica-ish to me. So Casio currently stands as the king of value for me

      • alidli on 05/10/2023 - 14:57

        As the Chinese brands are so cheap compared to the Japanese ones and with better specs sometimes, would these Seiko's lose a lot in value?
        I like a couple of them but know I'd get bored and want to change watches in a couple of years time and sell these to put towards the new ones.

        Do they depreciate in value similar to cars?

        • beltdrive on 05/10/2023 - 15:19
          +2

          I think watches have almost always depreciated in a similar way to cars, even before the Chinese ones came along.

          They're also comparable to cars because there are watches that depreciated at first, but eventually they appreciated far beyond the original value. These are the exception though, not the rule

          It's a bit of an out there recommendation. Though, not entirely a surprise given the username.

          For anyone seriously considering this recommendation, the Sea-Gull 1963 is a manual wind chronograph. I would put it much further into watch enthusiast territory.

          Here's my old comment on it with a bit of history - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13884592/redir

            @ihfree: You are one of the trolls here. My username says much more than yours. Feel free to rant on my comment. You will learn that knowledge is free and open there for anyone. It is not your property. You will learn to digest it. Good luck.

              @[Deactivated]: Get your pocket watch? I'm thinking of getting my solid silver one serviced.

          Thanks a lot. I've been wanting one of these.

          Do you think $160 is a historically good price for the "non-official" st1901?
          Also, would you personally feel comfortable buying from the "GIV Official Store" when it hasn't sold many (any?) of this watch? I don't have much exp on AliX

            @lbreav: Nope! GIV looks to have hardly any feedback.

            I'm not 100% on where is best to buy one currently. I'd recommend having a look at the link to my old comment on the topic and maybe looking at some watch forums.

      You have to be careful where you buy those from, a lot of fakes around, a lot of people got burnt trying to buy the cheapest one and ended up with a POS Quartz knock off.

      I got the 38mm acrylic no lume and recommend this store: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001304377435.html

    Used to love watches, but after getting a smart watch it's kinda like going back to a dumb phone. I suggest you try the GT Pro 3

      This take doesn't get old.

        Now we just need someone to bring up the old quartz vs auto argument as well.
