Really well made, really nice design and enjoying wearing it. A lovely addition to my watch collection. Might buy a blue nylon strap though for day to day use. Black leather good for social occasions but personally prefer a breathable thick mnylon strap, especially in this hot summer weather.
E bello e preciso. Sarebbe stato meglio che la manopola del tattico si potesse bloccare in una posizione a non girare per conto suo come gli pare. Di stare nella posizione che lo vuoi utilizzare.
Congratulations Tianjin Seagull Watch Group on the 70th Anniversary of the 1955 first mass production watch. Beautiful watch ... Chinese red with golden stars, unique and sits well on the wrist. Very soft and comfortable leather strap. Automatic movement and keeps time very well. A great way to celebrate "time" based on significant occasions and anniversaries. The order process and customer service support is proactive and individually attentive. Thank you.
I love this watch!! Great colour, 3D design and legible date display. The rubber backed leather strap is well thought-out for hot/humid climates. Highly recommended!
Boasting Seagull's ST1901 movement, the most affordable way to get into a mechanical chronograph, the 1963 is likely the most watch for the money on the market. This Panda Sport edition has a larger 43mm case diameter, tachymeter, and butterfly clasp, making it a sportier variant of the classic 1963.
The only real complaints I have are that the color of the metal clasp (steel) doesn't match the color of the watch case (copper gold), and that the case is slightly too bulky. The 5-star rating given is primarily because 4.5 is unavailable, and the watch is so affordable that this minor oversight, one that can be rectified by simply replacing the OEM watch band/clasp, is trivial in comparison.
Wearing the Seagull Double Skeleton Automatic 38mm has been a genuinely enjoyable experience. It sits perfectly on the wrist, feels light and comfortable, and immediately stands out with its beautifully displayed movement. The skeleton design adds depth and elegance, making the watch feel refined, sophisticated, and full of character. Every glance at the dial is a reminder of fine craftsmanship, and it always feels special to wear.
Overall, I'm really satisfied with the watch and have no major complaints, as it's large, elegant and the tourbillon mechanism is truly eye-catching. However, for this price the watch should look a bit fancier and it's also a shame that you can't stop the seconds hand to increase the precision of timekeeping, but from what I've read, it's only in selected high-end tourbillon watches and only since recently that this feature has been available.
Extremely satisfied with the watch. Has a nice weight to it. The face of the watch is my favorite, especially the pop of blue. Top tier customer service (very responsive).
I still have not wear the watch too many watch’s on my collection but after checking the watch back case have a lot rough scratches not as beautiful like Swiss watch need to improve on the polish finish on the watch
Bad experience. Is the second watch that I buy of the same model , the first one 38 mm and the second one 40 mm. Both have the same problem , suddenly stop.
I sent back the first one 38 mm to repair and after 2 months returned to me and the problem persist.
I ordered the watch during the golden week so the delivery and respond time was delayed. I was also a little worried as there were several seagull watch websites. But after emailing and checking with the official seagull email they confirmed that this website is a legitimate partner. I finally received the watch 10 days after placing the order.
I had not requested for the bracelet to be sized so it was a little large for me. I sent it to a local watch shop to size the bracelet and it now fits perfectly. I do think it’s a beautiful piece. Everything else works great.
I also had to reach out to the seller on how to adjust my time and moonphase. The seller shared a video link. I wish the watch would have included printed English instructions instead.
I'm going to be honest.
My first watch had a bad movement chronograph function wise, it did not properly reset while the timekeeping itself was flawless.
I reached out to customer support via WhatsApp and talked and got instructions and guidance on the whole return process.
All costs like shipping and customs got reimbursed.
I got the movement replaced and the watch is amazing.
To all the people that are scared buying things from China, being afraid that they won't be heard and helped;
This customer support was the most amazing I've dealt with even compared to my experiences with domestic EU customer support.
Actually Europe can learn a thing or two from this!
Absolutely love the watch on my wrist - though a tad big, I like the overall proportions, classic design, legible dial with Arabic numerals, and heat-blued hands. The split-seconds feature operated smoothly; what's amazing is that the watch has gained only 1 second in the six days I've worn it, which far surpasses COSC specs.
The watch gives unbelievable value for money, not just because it is the world's most affordable rattrapante chronograph, but for the build quality (grade 5 titanium case with domed sapphire crystal), finishing, and movement complexity (split-seconds module added to the famed ST19 column wheel movement).
What more could one ask for?
You can see my short review at "Big boy Toy's make noise on youtube, the watch is rolex quality what more can I say save your money buying Swiss overpriced watches and buy a solid built and worth every dollar watch, I own several and haven't been disappointed.

Well made and solid divers watch with beautiful blue and orange coloring. The rubber-sailcloth strap is substantial. Also a unique twist on GMT, not a moving second time zone hand but rather an outside ring adjusted with a second crown.
Have not tested its 200 meter waterproofness yet but so far this is a stunningly beautiful watch - GO SEAGULL
