Sakura Watches Reviews
Seiko Spirit Limited Model SBTQ039
Seiko Dolce SACM150
Author: Kira
This is truly the perfect dress watch. It appears elegant and clean at first glance, but there is plenty of exquisite detail to appreciate the closer you look - from the beautiful kira-zuri dial texture catching the light, to the capped seconds hand and the onyx-topped crown, to the shine of the caiman leather strap and the Art Deco buckle, this watch looks far more expensive than it is.
This is a living fossil in Seiko's lineup, barely changed since the early '90s, and one of the very last models to use the excellent 8J movement - it isn't mentioned in this listing, but this is a high-accuracy quartz (HAQ) calibre, accurate to ±10 seconds per year as opposed to the more typical ±15 seconds per month. Perhaps they've simply forgotten they still make it - the staff at the Seiko flagship boutique in Ginza seemed unaware it was a current model until I showed them the listing on Seiko's website, and they had none on hand to show!
Buying from Sakura was quick and painless, and the watch arrived safely packaged and ahead of schedule. If you're deliberating, just buy one, there really is nothing else like it available new.

The watch seems ok, unfortunately the description is not exactly accurate....only the indicators are bright but the indices are not. Warranty only in Japan....if it is still delivered to other countries it should benefit from a minimum of an international warranty and an instruction manual in an international language. Honestly I am a little disappointed but that is it

The watch is very beautiful with it's one of a kind titanium black DLC treatment.
In person the color looks more like a subtle dark grey/graphite finish.
Manufacturing details are on point, alignment is perfect.
Solar and radio controlled time are working perfectly (after properly charging the watch for two days with the sun as soon as it got out of the box).
Understated, timeless and classy design, very thin and lightweight.
Something to note for small wrists (about 16cm) : I had to take out all the removable links and reverse the clasp in order to find the perfect fit for me.
Note that there is no half links, but you can manage the proper fit with the easy to use micro adjustments of the clasps.
Sakura Watch was a really good reseller, good buying experience and fast delivery.
Good tracking with DHL, no problems with customs.
Just note that they do not adjust bracelet size for you and their prices can fluctuate a lot (20 days later, the watch was 25 dollars less on the site).
Overall really good product and experience !

This is my fourth purchase from Sakura and am thoroughly satisfied and impressed with the piece. The watch is absolutely stunning and a perfect companion as a do anything, go anywhere watch. Build quality, look and feel is luxury level and very comfortable on wrist for all day wear.
The super clear crystal is stunning and very practical at all angles and lighting conditions, and the dial is just beguiling to look at.
The lume doesn't disappoint and lasts all night.

Author: Chris Cullen
I had been looking for a watch with good luminescence, solar movement and a smaller profile to suit my 17cm wrist. I immediately liked the simple and uncluttered design of the SBPX157. The watch specification is also higher than many other watches available at UK vendors at similar prices.
The product arrived securely packed and in excellent condition. I did not have to pay any customs fees upon it reaching the UK.
The deployant strap supplied with the watch is of decent quality, but I changed this to a silicone and leather two-piece hybrid as personal preference.
The watch is a great daily driver and I would be happy to shop with Sakura again.

I’ve been using radio-controlled, solar watches for years, with a Casio Multiband model as my personal benchmark for pure functionality (the casio LIW-M700D-1AJF model to be exact). This Citizen entered my collection as a birthday purchase and this review is written from the perspective of someone who values function, restraint, and long-term usability over recognition or brand mythology.
-First Impressions
Out of the box, the watch is clearly well built. Finishing is clean, dial printing is precise, and legibility is strong despite the amount of information presented. My initial reaction was honest but reserved:
-Slightly large for my taste
-Somewhat visually busy
Not enough to disappoint, but enough to register.
-Movement & Functionality
The Citizen E660 caliber does exactly what it promises:
-Solar powered
-Radio-controlled accuracy
-Chronograph
-Alarm
-Reserve indicator
Once synchronized, it becomes a true set-and-forget watch. Reliability and precision are unquestionable. Compared to my Casio reference, however, the difference in functional density is clear. The Casio still leads in sheer capability:
-everything (but the reserve indicator) E660 provides plus Countdown timer and kind of a more extensive multi-function logic
From a purely technical checklist perspective, the Casio remains the benchmark.
Ease of Use: Where Citizen Pulls Ahead
Where the Citizen decisively wins is usability. Configuration is dramatically simpler:
-Logical crown and pusher behavior
-Clear feedback
-No punishment for making adjustments
In daily life, this matters more than specs. A watch that does slightly less but is easier to live with often gets worn more—and that’s exactly what happened here.
Strap Change: The Real Transformation
The stock metal bracelet contributed to two issues:
-Visual heaviness
-Significant weight.
Switching to a black rubber strap changed the watch entirely:
-Reduced perceived size
-Noticeably improved comfort
-Calmed the dial visually by simplifying the frame around it.
-Most importantly, it removed the sense of clutter.
After the strap change, the watch stopped trying to assert itself and started behaving like what it is meant to be: a tool.
Living With It: The Score Goes Up
After several days of real use, something became clear: this is a watch that improves with familiarity. It disappears on the wrist. It behaves predictably. It never demands attention—but it always delivers. What initially felt like an 8/10 gradually earned a reassessment. Final score: 9/10 (relative to my personal benchmark).
Not because it gained features—but because it gained trust.
This Citizen fits my worldview far better.
Final Thoughts
This is not a watch that tries to impress. It earns its place through quiet competence, comfort, and reliability. It didn’t win me over instantly—but it did something better: it proved itself, day after day.
And that’s how good tools should work.

This was my third purchase from Sakura and am very happy with the piece. The quality and finish is very nice, especially the case and dial. The super clear crystal is stunning and very practical at all angles and lighting conditions. Lume is more or less diver worthy and lasts all night. Lugs have a very nice downturn and hug the wrist comfortably.
The only negatives are the 21mm lug width and minimal taper on the bracelet. I remedied this by switching to a oysterflex style fkm rubber strap with a classic 21-16mm taper.

This was my second purchase from Sakura and am thoroughly satisfied and impressed with the piece. The quality and finish is top notch. The super clear crystal is stunning and very practical at all angles and lighting conditions, and the dial is just beguiling to look at. The lumibrite is not diver intense, though it does last most of the night.
The only negative would be the bracelet. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely serviceable, the links are solid and it's comfy on wrist, albeit it just doesn't match with this style of watch, it only has a 2mm taper 20-18, and that's why I upgraded to a jubilee style with a classic 4mm taper.
