New Affordable Seiko Field Watches: Four Compass-Bezel Sports Models
The Seiko 5 Sports Field Series keeps growing, and this latest expansion is one of the more practical updates we’ve seen from the line in a while. Seiko just announced four new compass-bezel field watches under the 5 Sports umbrella, with the references HDB006, HDB007, HDB008, and HDB009.

Pricing lands between ยฃ340 and ยฃ360, which works out to roughly $463 to $471 USD.

Pricing runs from $110 for the GA700BEG-1A and GD010BEG-1 up to $180 for the GAB010BEG-1A, with everything available now through G-SHOCK.

Now, Stowa is expanding that line with the new Terra Collection in three earthy colorways: Soil, Forest, and Desert.
