Seiko HBF001 and HBF002: Discussion vs Outgoing SLA Divers

Duckie · Jul 6, 2026

The arrival of these watches is iminent.
Is anyone keeping an eye out?
Is anyone making mental comparisons between these and the outgoing SLAs in terms of specs?

I wasn't tracking them, but am now.

The 002 LE looks quite nice.

The HBF002 does have it's charm indeed.

I already have both the SLA077 and 079, so the HBF001 is of no particular interest to me. In fact i prefer the preceeding SLA much more overall.

But that JAMSTEC is something else entirely.

Yes, looking forward to the 001 and hope they come out soon; if so I’ll pick one up at the Wako store next week.

They should be showing up now.
There is an odd youtube video turning up where people have been showing their JAMSTECs.
And i see that a number are listing the HBF001 as being in stock. With the 001 being regular production, we have plenty of time so no rush.
