<\/a>I sometimes forget that Seiko offers solar-powered watches because I\u2019m often so entranced by their in-house mechanical movements, but these designs claim to be equally impressive, requiring no rewinding or battery replacement, powered entirely by natural and artificial light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when it came to choosing which solar Seiko watch I wanted to test, I went straight for their most classic: the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About The Seiko SNE573<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-SNE573-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy would I choose the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 out of them all? Well, a quick look and it\u2019s clear this is a watch that\u2019s going to be easy to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a classic black dial with a black bezel and stainless steel cased design with fantastic dimensions to suit a vast majority of wrists. It also utilizes one of Seiko\u2019s most used in-house solar-powered movements, the Caliber V147, a movement I\u2019m desperate to see live up to my expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s also a watch with plenty of diving capability; it has a 200-meter water resistance, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and Seiko\u2019s glow-in-the-dark Lumibrite across the dial. And yet, despite all this, there\u2019s something beautifully timeless about its execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wasn\u2019t sure if it was the shape of the steel case or the simplicity of its monochromatic design, but it felt like a watch I could wear just as effortlessly on land as I could in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not a brand new watch by any means, having launched in 2021, but the Seiko SNE573 is still a permanent addition to its collection, which, to me, suggests it\u2019s a watch that has proved some level of popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with all these things in mind, I became curious if, when on the wrist, these factors come together to prove the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 as one that lives up to the high expectations myself and Seiko have set for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History of Seiko Solar Dive Watches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Understandably, solar-powered watches haven\u2019t been around for all that long, first introduced during the 1970\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko was one of the first brands to launch their own, with the Seiko 0634-5000 becoming something of a game changer for the industry as it allowed those who frequented the outdoors the convenience of never having to rewind a mechanical movement or swap out the battery for a standard quartz watch. Instead, it harnessed the power of the sun to keep the hands around the dial ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t really until the 1990s, however, that Seiko became well-known for their solar watches<\/a>. It was here when they merged their solar-powered tech with their legendary Prospex line, creating a reliable diving watch with underwater durability and the endless power of sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOver the years, their solar dive watches<\/a> have evolved \u2013 but only slightly \u2013 to incorporate the latest styles and technology. We\u2019re now seeing more advanced solar movements, increased water-resistant ratings, and updated designs that are both functional and fashionable. The 2021 Seiko SNE573 is one of the same, promising all the essential features you\u2019d want in a solar-powered dive watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeiko SNE573: In-Depth Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now it\u2019s time to get hands-on with the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. As I mentioned in the introduction, there was a reason I wanted to try this watch specifically. Just from looks, it appears to be an easy-to-wear diver\u2019s model for most occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, the spec suggests it would be worthy of the wrists of professional divers just as much as those of us simply wanting something robust and water-resistant. But is the design too simple, and does it become boring? And does the tech do what it promises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the issues I\u2019ve had personally with finding a Seiko Prospex watch for myself is case sizing. Typically, Seiko\u2019s diving watches<\/a> are large, measuring around 41.5mm wide, and even in some cases, the Seiko Tuna, for example, comes in at 48mm. So when Seiko launched the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 in 2021 with a mid-size case, I\u2019m guessing it wasn\u2019t just me and my smaller-than-average wrists that were happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that one of the standout features of the Seiko SNE573, for me, is the sizing. Measuring a compact 38.5mm wide and just 10.8mm thick \u2013 the latter being something of an unfamiliar sight in dive watches \u2013 the watch will quite happily suit almost any wrist size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also has a nice case length of 46.45mm. Upon strapping the model on, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to wear. In fact, I\u2019d go as far as saying it feels smaller on the wrist than what the dimensions suggest. It\u2019s restrained, comfortable, and just looks great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The watch still wears comfortably despite its well-sized unsigned crown at 3 o\u2019clock, protected by two protruding crown guards, which offers an ISO-certified water resistance of 200 meters. The case also presents flat sapphire crystal glass<\/a> \u2013 a feature that\u2019s nice to see on a watch under $500 – and a screw-down case back decorated with a wave in relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBezel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons I think the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch feels smaller than its 38.5mm width suggests is down to the bezel. Much of the design\u2019s real estate falls to the 120-click bezel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engineered from stainless steel, it is strongly knurled for easy manipulation even while wearing thick diving gloves, and on top, a black bezel insert is added, presenting the 60-minute scale in white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those wanting to use the Seiko SNE573 for diving, the bezel is unidirectional, allowing for precise and reliable tracking of elapsed time underwater while preventing accidental adjustments during your dive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s also a nice pearlescent pip placed on the triangular marker at 12 o\u2019clock for quick reference. The bezel is nicely polished, which adds a nice touch of contrast to the rest of the stainless steel housing, which is predominantly vertically brushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch, things are kept unapologetically simple. The surface is made of a classic matte black and set with the classic round, and baton-shaped indices infilled with Seiko\u2019s green-glowing Lumibrite material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 3 o\u2019clock, there\u2019s a cut-out date window with a white backdrop, and at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock, respectively, the Seiko logo is included alongside the Prospex emblem and lettering to showcase its solar capability and 200-meter water resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The handset is typical of many of Seiko\u2019s diver\u2019s watches, offering a skeletonized construction with the broad hours with an arrow tip and the minutes styled in a syringe-like shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up close, you\u2019ll notice the finishing of the hours and minutes is brushed, creating a subtle bit of contrast to the polished seconds. The seconds has a luminous lollipop counterweight which, like the rest of the hardware, is decorated with Lumibrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One might think the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch is a little boring, and you wouldn\u2019t be wrong. It is plain, and it is simple, not even including a subtle sunray effect or any contrasting coloring on the seconds hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, in my personal opinion, it\u2019s one of the reasons why I like this watch so much. It\u2019s unfussy, undeniably legible, and focuses more on its technology than any fanciful dial design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, the back of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 is kept closed with the iconic wave motif chosen to protect the V147 caliber housed within. It\u2019s an in-house solar-powered movement from Seiko<\/a> offering classic time and date functionality and an accuracy rated at +\/-15 seconds per month or +\/- 1 second per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMost of its benefit comes from its ability to fuel itself automatically through solar or artificial light, meaning you never have to worry about battery changes. In bright sunny conditions, the caliber will become fully charged after around 9 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 arrives on a comfortable black silicone strap with a small amount of ribbed detail on either side. It\u2019s a nice strap but nothing extraordinary. Thankfully, with a 20mm lug width, this watch can be easily personalized with a variety of other straps to make it your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like some of the other Prospex Solar Diver watches in the Japanese watch brand\u2019s portfolio, I think this model would look lovely dressed up with a full metal bracelet or even add a bit of color to the monochromatic design with a striped NATO band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should You Buy A Seiko SNE573?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want a solar-powered dive watch that\u2019s reliable, durable and impressively affordable, then yes, I highly recommend the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. Professional divers and military personnel alike will appreciate its robust build and dependable performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m neither of those things, and my time with it was immensely enjoyable. I had no issues with accuracy, and I was especially grateful for its sizing. It also feels solid on the wrist, as if no matter what I did or where I went, it would hold up and endure the environment with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Pricing & Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Seiko doesn\u2019t let us down with the price of the SNE573 either. They continue to maintain their reputation for affordable luxury, retailing the model for $475 on authorized dealers like Exquisite Timepieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can also be found on the second-hand market for anywhere between $300 and $350 if you\u2019re working with a smaller budget. It\u2019s a non-limited edition and remains a permanent part of Seiko\u2019s collection. However, we can’t say how long that\u2019ll be for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As I hinted in the introduction, there are several alternatives to the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 available in the Japanese watchmaker\u2019s portfolio. If the simple black and steel aesthetic of the SNE573 is a little overdone to you, here are some other models still worthy of your time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE575<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Seiko](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-Prospex-SNE575-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStill a classic dive watch but with added color and texture for further visual interest, the Seiko Prospex SNE575 is an excellent alternative to the SNE573. This model has been released as part of Seiko\u2019s popular PADI<\/a> line, a range of watches dedicated to celebrating the official partnership between the Japanese watch brand and PADI (The Professional Association of Diving Instructors). <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis time, the watch\u2019s matte black dial is cleverly etched with the PADI globe logo, while the hour hand and first quarter of the diver\u2019s scale are detailed in the logo\u2019s same blue hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE591<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Seiko](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-Prospex-SNE591-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSomething of a staple for a diver\u2019s watch \u2013 thanks to Rolex and their legendary Pepsi bezel \u2013 the Seiko Prospex SNE591 delivers a cool two-toned red and blue diving bezel with beautiful circular finishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To match, the screw-down crown has a red rubber ring for a 200-meter water-resistant rating, sitting at 3 o\u2019clock on the 42.8mm wide stainless steel case. There\u2019s the familiar matte black dial set with Lumibrite, a solid three-row link stainless steel bracelet, and the V157 in-house solar-powered movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE583<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Seiko](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-Prospex-SNE583-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you appreciate all the specs of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 but want something with a dial and bezel color that\u2019s a little more exciting than black, I highly recommend the SNE583. Other than its full metal bracelet, this model offers all the same specs as the model in review here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a compact 38.5mm stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200-meter water-resistant rating, and the V147 solar-powered movement. The main difference is the dial and bezel, which is colored in a deep emerald green, with a subtle sunray brushed finishing and circular finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE585<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Seiko](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-Prospex-SNE585-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the exact same collection as the model above, you also have the Seiko Prospex reference SNE585. This time, the sunray brushed dial is colored in a gorgeous royal blue, a color that feels perfectly suited to ocean-based adventures. The bezel follows suit, presenting its 60-minute scale in white on a navy blue backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the specs stay the same; it has a 38.5mm steel case, 200-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal glass, and a screw-in crown. It also arrives on a three-row link solid stainless steel bracelet with a folding buckle and micro-adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE586<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Seiko](\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Seiko-Prospex-SNE586-1024x427.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, we have the Seiko Prospex SNE586, a slightly dressier take on the compact 38.5mm wide diver\u2019s watch with a rose gold plated case and bezel. But despite its more opulent aesthetic, this is a watch that still upholds Seiko\u2019s high levels of reliability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It offers the same sapphire crystal glass, 200-meter water resistance, and a screw-down crown and case back. The dial and bezel insert are done in black for a dramatic level of contrast against the case material, which matches the black silicone strap secured by a rose gold-plated pin buckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some might look at the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 and consider it boring, but that\u2019s my favorite thing about it. It\u2019s unfussy and rather than placing too much attention on color or detail, it instead focuses on its functionality to create a watch that is unapologetically robust and reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of its simple design, I think it\u2019s one that could be easily overlooked, but you shouldn\u2019t. In my opinion, the dimensions are perfect \u2013 especially if you have wrists between 6 and 7 inches. It\u2019s also not often you\u2019ll find a watch less than $500 with sapphire crystal, ISO-certified 200-meter water resistance, and an innovative solar-powered dial. It\u2019s yet another watch from Seiko I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

About The Seiko SNE573<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy would I choose the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 out of them all? Well, a quick look and it\u2019s clear this is a watch that\u2019s going to be easy to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a classic black dial with a black bezel and stainless steel cased design with fantastic dimensions to suit a vast majority of wrists. It also utilizes one of Seiko\u2019s most used in-house solar-powered movements, the Caliber V147, a movement I\u2019m desperate to see live up to my expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s also a watch with plenty of diving capability; it has a 200-meter water resistance, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and Seiko\u2019s glow-in-the-dark Lumibrite across the dial. And yet, despite all this, there\u2019s something beautifully timeless about its execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wasn\u2019t sure if it was the shape of the steel case or the simplicity of its monochromatic design, but it felt like a watch I could wear just as effortlessly on land as I could in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not a brand new watch by any means, having launched in 2021, but the Seiko SNE573 is still a permanent addition to its collection, which, to me, suggests it\u2019s a watch that has proved some level of popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with all these things in mind, I became curious if, when on the wrist, these factors come together to prove the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 as one that lives up to the high expectations myself and Seiko have set for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History of Seiko Solar Dive Watches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Understandably, solar-powered watches haven\u2019t been around for all that long, first introduced during the 1970\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko was one of the first brands to launch their own, with the Seiko 0634-5000 becoming something of a game changer for the industry as it allowed those who frequented the outdoors the convenience of never having to rewind a mechanical movement or swap out the battery for a standard quartz watch. Instead, it harnessed the power of the sun to keep the hands around the dial ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t really until the 1990s, however, that Seiko became well-known for their solar watches<\/a>. It was here when they merged their solar-powered tech with their legendary Prospex line, creating a reliable diving watch with underwater durability and the endless power of sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOver the years, their solar dive watches<\/a> have evolved \u2013 but only slightly \u2013 to incorporate the latest styles and technology. We\u2019re now seeing more advanced solar movements, increased water-resistant ratings, and updated designs that are both functional and fashionable. The 2021 Seiko SNE573 is one of the same, promising all the essential features you\u2019d want in a solar-powered dive watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeiko SNE573: In-Depth Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now it\u2019s time to get hands-on with the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. As I mentioned in the introduction, there was a reason I wanted to try this watch specifically. Just from looks, it appears to be an easy-to-wear diver\u2019s model for most occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, the spec suggests it would be worthy of the wrists of professional divers just as much as those of us simply wanting something robust and water-resistant. But is the design too simple, and does it become boring? And does the tech do what it promises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the issues I\u2019ve had personally with finding a Seiko Prospex watch for myself is case sizing. Typically, Seiko\u2019s diving watches<\/a> are large, measuring around 41.5mm wide, and even in some cases, the Seiko Tuna, for example, comes in at 48mm. So when Seiko launched the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 in 2021 with a mid-size case, I\u2019m guessing it wasn\u2019t just me and my smaller-than-average wrists that were happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that one of the standout features of the Seiko SNE573, for me, is the sizing. Measuring a compact 38.5mm wide and just 10.8mm thick \u2013 the latter being something of an unfamiliar sight in dive watches \u2013 the watch will quite happily suit almost any wrist size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also has a nice case length of 46.45mm. Upon strapping the model on, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to wear. In fact, I\u2019d go as far as saying it feels smaller on the wrist than what the dimensions suggest. It\u2019s restrained, comfortable, and just looks great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The watch still wears comfortably despite its well-sized unsigned crown at 3 o\u2019clock, protected by two protruding crown guards, which offers an ISO-certified water resistance of 200 meters. The case also presents flat sapphire crystal glass<\/a> \u2013 a feature that\u2019s nice to see on a watch under $500 – and a screw-down case back decorated with a wave in relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBezel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons I think the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch feels smaller than its 38.5mm width suggests is down to the bezel. Much of the design\u2019s real estate falls to the 120-click bezel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engineered from stainless steel, it is strongly knurled for easy manipulation even while wearing thick diving gloves, and on top, a black bezel insert is added, presenting the 60-minute scale in white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those wanting to use the Seiko SNE573 for diving, the bezel is unidirectional, allowing for precise and reliable tracking of elapsed time underwater while preventing accidental adjustments during your dive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s also a nice pearlescent pip placed on the triangular marker at 12 o\u2019clock for quick reference. The bezel is nicely polished, which adds a nice touch of contrast to the rest of the stainless steel housing, which is predominantly vertically brushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch, things are kept unapologetically simple. The surface is made of a classic matte black and set with the classic round, and baton-shaped indices infilled with Seiko\u2019s green-glowing Lumibrite material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 3 o\u2019clock, there\u2019s a cut-out date window with a white backdrop, and at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock, respectively, the Seiko logo is included alongside the Prospex emblem and lettering to showcase its solar capability and 200-meter water resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The handset is typical of many of Seiko\u2019s diver\u2019s watches, offering a skeletonized construction with the broad hours with an arrow tip and the minutes styled in a syringe-like shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up close, you\u2019ll notice the finishing of the hours and minutes is brushed, creating a subtle bit of contrast to the polished seconds. The seconds has a luminous lollipop counterweight which, like the rest of the hardware, is decorated with Lumibrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One might think the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch is a little boring, and you wouldn\u2019t be wrong. It is plain, and it is simple, not even including a subtle sunray effect or any contrasting coloring on the seconds hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, in my personal opinion, it\u2019s one of the reasons why I like this watch so much. It\u2019s unfussy, undeniably legible, and focuses more on its technology than any fanciful dial design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, the back of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 is kept closed with the iconic wave motif chosen to protect the V147 caliber housed within. It\u2019s an in-house solar-powered movement from Seiko<\/a> offering classic time and date functionality and an accuracy rated at +\/-15 seconds per month or +\/- 1 second per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMost of its benefit comes from its ability to fuel itself automatically through solar or artificial light, meaning you never have to worry about battery changes. In bright sunny conditions, the caliber will become fully charged after around 9 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 arrives on a comfortable black silicone strap with a small amount of ribbed detail on either side. It\u2019s a nice strap but nothing extraordinary. Thankfully, with a 20mm lug width, this watch can be easily personalized with a variety of other straps to make it your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like some of the other Prospex Solar Diver watches in the Japanese watch brand\u2019s portfolio, I think this model would look lovely dressed up with a full metal bracelet or even add a bit of color to the monochromatic design with a striped NATO band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should You Buy A Seiko SNE573?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want a solar-powered dive watch that\u2019s reliable, durable and impressively affordable, then yes, I highly recommend the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. Professional divers and military personnel alike will appreciate its robust build and dependable performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m neither of those things, and my time with it was immensely enjoyable. I had no issues with accuracy, and I was especially grateful for its sizing. It also feels solid on the wrist, as if no matter what I did or where I went, it would hold up and endure the environment with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Pricing & Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Seiko doesn\u2019t let us down with the price of the SNE573 either. They continue to maintain their reputation for affordable luxury, retailing the model for $475 on authorized dealers like Exquisite Timepieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can also be found on the second-hand market for anywhere between $300 and $350 if you\u2019re working with a smaller budget. It\u2019s a non-limited edition and remains a permanent part of Seiko\u2019s collection. However, we can’t say how long that\u2019ll be for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As I hinted in the introduction, there are several alternatives to the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 available in the Japanese watchmaker\u2019s portfolio. If the simple black and steel aesthetic of the SNE573 is a little overdone to you, here are some other models still worthy of your time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE575<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStill a classic dive watch but with added color and texture for further visual interest, the Seiko Prospex SNE575 is an excellent alternative to the SNE573. This model has been released as part of Seiko\u2019s popular PADI<\/a> line, a range of watches dedicated to celebrating the official partnership between the Japanese watch brand and PADI (The Professional Association of Diving Instructors). <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis time, the watch\u2019s matte black dial is cleverly etched with the PADI globe logo, while the hour hand and first quarter of the diver\u2019s scale are detailed in the logo\u2019s same blue hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE591<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSomething of a staple for a diver\u2019s watch \u2013 thanks to Rolex and their legendary Pepsi bezel \u2013 the Seiko Prospex SNE591 delivers a cool two-toned red and blue diving bezel with beautiful circular finishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To match, the screw-down crown has a red rubber ring for a 200-meter water-resistant rating, sitting at 3 o\u2019clock on the 42.8mm wide stainless steel case. There\u2019s the familiar matte black dial set with Lumibrite, a solid three-row link stainless steel bracelet, and the V157 in-house solar-powered movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE583<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you appreciate all the specs of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 but want something with a dial and bezel color that\u2019s a little more exciting than black, I highly recommend the SNE583. Other than its full metal bracelet, this model offers all the same specs as the model in review here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a compact 38.5mm stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200-meter water-resistant rating, and the V147 solar-powered movement. The main difference is the dial and bezel, which is colored in a deep emerald green, with a subtle sunray brushed finishing and circular finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE585<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the exact same collection as the model above, you also have the Seiko Prospex reference SNE585. This time, the sunray brushed dial is colored in a gorgeous royal blue, a color that feels perfectly suited to ocean-based adventures. The bezel follows suit, presenting its 60-minute scale in white on a navy blue backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the specs stay the same; it has a 38.5mm steel case, 200-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal glass, and a screw-in crown. It also arrives on a three-row link solid stainless steel bracelet with a folding buckle and micro-adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE586<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, we have the Seiko Prospex SNE586, a slightly dressier take on the compact 38.5mm wide diver\u2019s watch with a rose gold plated case and bezel. But despite its more opulent aesthetic, this is a watch that still upholds Seiko\u2019s high levels of reliability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It offers the same sapphire crystal glass, 200-meter water resistance, and a screw-down crown and case back. The dial and bezel insert are done in black for a dramatic level of contrast against the case material, which matches the black silicone strap secured by a rose gold-plated pin buckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some might look at the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 and consider it boring, but that\u2019s my favorite thing about it. It\u2019s unfussy and rather than placing too much attention on color or detail, it instead focuses on its functionality to create a watch that is unapologetically robust and reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of its simple design, I think it\u2019s one that could be easily overlooked, but you shouldn\u2019t. In my opinion, the dimensions are perfect \u2013 especially if you have wrists between 6 and 7 inches. It\u2019s also not often you\u2019ll find a watch less than $500 with sapphire crystal, ISO-certified 200-meter water resistance, and an innovative solar-powered dial. It\u2019s yet another watch from Seiko I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

About The Seiko SNE573<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy would I choose the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 out of them all? Well, a quick look and it\u2019s clear this is a watch that\u2019s going to be easy to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a classic black dial with a black bezel and stainless steel cased design with fantastic dimensions to suit a vast majority of wrists. It also utilizes one of Seiko\u2019s most used in-house solar-powered movements, the Caliber V147, a movement I\u2019m desperate to see live up to my expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s also a watch with plenty of diving capability; it has a 200-meter water resistance, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and Seiko\u2019s glow-in-the-dark Lumibrite across the dial. And yet, despite all this, there\u2019s something beautifully timeless about its execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\nI wasn\u2019t sure if it was the shape of the steel case or the simplicity of its monochromatic design, but it felt like a watch I could wear just as effortlessly on land as I could in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not a brand new watch by any means, having launched in 2021, but the Seiko SNE573 is still a permanent addition to its collection, which, to me, suggests it\u2019s a watch that has proved some level of popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with all these things in mind, I became curious if, when on the wrist, these factors come together to prove the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 as one that lives up to the high expectations myself and Seiko have set for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History of Seiko Solar Dive Watches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Understandably, solar-powered watches haven\u2019t been around for all that long, first introduced during the 1970\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko was one of the first brands to launch their own, with the Seiko 0634-5000 becoming something of a game changer for the industry as it allowed those who frequented the outdoors the convenience of never having to rewind a mechanical movement or swap out the battery for a standard quartz watch. Instead, it harnessed the power of the sun to keep the hands around the dial ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t really until the 1990s, however, that Seiko became well-known for their solar watches<\/a>. It was here when they merged their solar-powered tech with their legendary Prospex line, creating a reliable diving watch with underwater durability and the endless power of sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, their solar dive watches<\/a> have evolved \u2013 but only slightly \u2013 to incorporate the latest styles and technology. We\u2019re now seeing more advanced solar movements, increased water-resistant ratings, and updated designs that are both functional and fashionable. The 2021 Seiko SNE573 is one of the same, promising all the essential features you\u2019d want in a solar-powered dive watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573: In-Depth Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now it\u2019s time to get hands-on with the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. As I mentioned in the introduction, there was a reason I wanted to try this watch specifically. Just from looks, it appears to be an easy-to-wear diver\u2019s model for most occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, the spec suggests it would be worthy of the wrists of professional divers just as much as those of us simply wanting something robust and water-resistant. But is the design too simple, and does it become boring? And does the tech do what it promises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the issues I\u2019ve had personally with finding a Seiko Prospex watch for myself is case sizing. Typically, Seiko\u2019s diving watches<\/a> are large, measuring around 41.5mm wide, and even in some cases, the Seiko Tuna, for example, comes in at 48mm. So when Seiko launched the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 in 2021 with a mid-size case, I\u2019m guessing it wasn\u2019t just me and my smaller-than-average wrists that were happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that one of the standout features of the Seiko SNE573, for me, is the sizing. Measuring a compact 38.5mm wide and just 10.8mm thick \u2013 the latter being something of an unfamiliar sight in dive watches \u2013 the watch will quite happily suit almost any wrist size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also has a nice case length of 46.45mm. Upon strapping the model on, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to wear. In fact, I\u2019d go as far as saying it feels smaller on the wrist than what the dimensions suggest. It\u2019s restrained, comfortable, and just looks great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The watch still wears comfortably despite its well-sized unsigned crown at 3 o\u2019clock, protected by two protruding crown guards, which offers an ISO-certified water resistance of 200 meters. The case also presents flat sapphire crystal glass<\/a> \u2013 a feature that\u2019s nice to see on a watch under $500 – and a screw-down case back decorated with a wave in relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bezel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons I think the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch feels smaller than its 38.5mm width suggests is down to the bezel. Much of the design\u2019s real estate falls to the 120-click bezel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engineered from stainless steel, it is strongly knurled for easy manipulation even while wearing thick diving gloves, and on top, a black bezel insert is added, presenting the 60-minute scale in white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those wanting to use the Seiko SNE573 for diving, the bezel is unidirectional, allowing for precise and reliable tracking of elapsed time underwater while preventing accidental adjustments during your dive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s also a nice pearlescent pip placed on the triangular marker at 12 o\u2019clock for quick reference. The bezel is nicely polished, which adds a nice touch of contrast to the rest of the stainless steel housing, which is predominantly vertically brushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch, things are kept unapologetically simple. The surface is made of a classic matte black and set with the classic round, and baton-shaped indices infilled with Seiko\u2019s green-glowing Lumibrite material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 3 o\u2019clock, there\u2019s a cut-out date window with a white backdrop, and at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock, respectively, the Seiko logo is included alongside the Prospex emblem and lettering to showcase its solar capability and 200-meter water resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The handset is typical of many of Seiko\u2019s diver\u2019s watches, offering a skeletonized construction with the broad hours with an arrow tip and the minutes styled in a syringe-like shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up close, you\u2019ll notice the finishing of the hours and minutes is brushed, creating a subtle bit of contrast to the polished seconds. The seconds has a luminous lollipop counterweight which, like the rest of the hardware, is decorated with Lumibrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One might think the dial of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 watch is a little boring, and you wouldn\u2019t be wrong. It is plain, and it is simple, not even including a subtle sunray effect or any contrasting coloring on the seconds hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, in my personal opinion, it\u2019s one of the reasons why I like this watch so much. It\u2019s unfussy, undeniably legible, and focuses more on its technology than any fanciful dial design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, the back of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 is kept closed with the iconic wave motif chosen to protect the V147 caliber housed within. It\u2019s an in-house solar-powered movement from Seiko<\/a> offering classic time and date functionality and an accuracy rated at +\/-15 seconds per month or +\/- 1 second per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of its benefit comes from its ability to fuel itself automatically through solar or artificial light, meaning you never have to worry about battery changes. In bright sunny conditions, the caliber will become fully charged after around 9 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 arrives on a comfortable black silicone strap with a small amount of ribbed detail on either side. It\u2019s a nice strap but nothing extraordinary. Thankfully, with a 20mm lug width, this watch can be easily personalized with a variety of other straps to make it your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like some of the other Prospex Solar Diver watches in the Japanese watch brand\u2019s portfolio, I think this model would look lovely dressed up with a full metal bracelet or even add a bit of color to the monochromatic design with a striped NATO band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should You Buy A Seiko SNE573?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want a solar-powered dive watch that\u2019s reliable, durable and impressively affordable, then yes, I highly recommend the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573. Professional divers and military personnel alike will appreciate its robust build and dependable performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m neither of those things, and my time with it was immensely enjoyable. I had no issues with accuracy, and I was especially grateful for its sizing. It also feels solid on the wrist, as if no matter what I did or where I went, it would hold up and endure the environment with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Pricing & Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Seiko doesn\u2019t let us down with the price of the SNE573 either. They continue to maintain their reputation for affordable luxury, retailing the model for $475 on authorized dealers like Exquisite Timepieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can also be found on the second-hand market for anywhere between $300 and $350 if you\u2019re working with a smaller budget. It\u2019s a non-limited edition and remains a permanent part of Seiko\u2019s collection. However, we can’t say how long that\u2019ll be for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko SNE573 Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As I hinted in the introduction, there are several alternatives to the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 available in the Japanese watchmaker\u2019s portfolio. If the simple black and steel aesthetic of the SNE573 is a little overdone to you, here are some other models still worthy of your time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE575<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStill a classic dive watch but with added color and texture for further visual interest, the Seiko Prospex SNE575 is an excellent alternative to the SNE573. This model has been released as part of Seiko\u2019s popular PADI<\/a> line, a range of watches dedicated to celebrating the official partnership between the Japanese watch brand and PADI (The Professional Association of Diving Instructors). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, the watch\u2019s matte black dial is cleverly etched with the PADI globe logo, while the hour hand and first quarter of the diver\u2019s scale are detailed in the logo\u2019s same blue hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE591<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSomething of a staple for a diver\u2019s watch \u2013 thanks to Rolex and their legendary Pepsi bezel \u2013 the Seiko Prospex SNE591 delivers a cool two-toned red and blue diving bezel with beautiful circular finishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To match, the screw-down crown has a red rubber ring for a 200-meter water-resistant rating, sitting at 3 o\u2019clock on the 42.8mm wide stainless steel case. There\u2019s the familiar matte black dial set with Lumibrite, a solid three-row link stainless steel bracelet, and the V157 in-house solar-powered movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE583<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you appreciate all the specs of the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 but want something with a dial and bezel color that\u2019s a little more exciting than black, I highly recommend the SNE583. Other than its full metal bracelet, this model offers all the same specs as the model in review here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a compact 38.5mm stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200-meter water-resistant rating, and the V147 solar-powered movement. The main difference is the dial and bezel, which is colored in a deep emerald green, with a subtle sunray brushed finishing and circular finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE585<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the exact same collection as the model above, you also have the Seiko Prospex reference SNE585. This time, the sunray brushed dial is colored in a gorgeous royal blue, a color that feels perfectly suited to ocean-based adventures. The bezel follows suit, presenting its 60-minute scale in white on a navy blue backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the specs stay the same; it has a 38.5mm steel case, 200-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal glass, and a screw-in crown. It also arrives on a three-row link solid stainless steel bracelet with a folding buckle and micro-adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seiko Prospex SNE586<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, we have the Seiko Prospex SNE586, a slightly dressier take on the compact 38.5mm wide diver\u2019s watch with a rose gold plated case and bezel. But despite its more opulent aesthetic, this is a watch that still upholds Seiko\u2019s high levels of reliability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It offers the same sapphire crystal glass, 200-meter water resistance, and a screw-down crown and case back. The dial and bezel insert are done in black for a dramatic level of contrast against the case material, which matches the black silicone strap secured by a rose gold-plated pin buckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some might look at the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE573 and consider it boring, but that\u2019s my favorite thing about it. It\u2019s unfussy and rather than placing too much attention on color or detail, it instead focuses on its functionality to create a watch that is unapologetically robust and reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of its simple design, I think it\u2019s one that could be easily overlooked, but you shouldn\u2019t. In my opinion, the dimensions are perfect \u2013 especially if you have wrists between 6 and 7 inches. It\u2019s also not often you\u2019ll find a watch less than $500 with sapphire crystal, ISO-certified 200-meter water resistance, and an innovative solar-powered dial. It\u2019s yet another watch from Seiko I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
