The Black Monster is available from http://www.qualitytime.org.uk/Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...It certainly is with the Seiko Monster range. To some it is the most striking and appealing watch replete with winning good looks to others - they are not sure to whether to wear it or weight train with it.
There is no doubt that this is a strong and tough watch - that is some metal case. It has been designed to withstand knocks and the odd bash. Internally it is powered by Seikos famous 7s26 movement - reliable and also extremely robust. The monster range has become known for its lume - offering an incredibly bright display which puts other divers to shame. Reports that you can read by it are probably slight exaggeration.
The Orange and Black Monsters are mass market models produced in their thousands where as Seiko has also produced a line of limited editions colours - the Yellow (run of 300), the Blue (run of 2005) and most recently the Red (with 1313 produced). The rarity of these models has pushed their price up massively with the Yellows rarely changing hands and going for hefty sums. Blues and Reds are currently going for £450 - £650. Again, some watch enthusiasts turn away from these Editions saying they are gimmick by Seiko. What I would say is take a look at one - the colours are stunning and photos never do them justice. I think this is particularly true of the Blue which looks alittle insipid in images but in the flesh is beautiful.
Feel free to order a Monster from http://www.qualitytime.org.uk/ - if you are after a rugged and striking watch then this is a watch that will serve you well for years to come.
I have also found this great buy from Amazon in the States for both the black and orange monsters:
