The thing about a Seiko is you get a lot of watch for a reasonable price. I have a Seiko 5 Sports that always attracts compliments when I wear it. This year, the Japanese brand has put out stunning new timepieces. We've rounded up the very best below. – Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief Plus: |

It's been a big year for the much-loved Japanese brand. |
Seiko's 2025 has seen popular releases, store openings and strong market performance—"big achievements when there's no denying that everyone is working harder for every watch purchase," says Faye Lovenbury, the UK head of marketing. There have been exciting collaborations (including PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors), 60th-anniversary editions of its diver's watches, and an archive revival seeing the return of the King Seiko Vanac. Lovenbury's preferred model? The latter—for the way it combines the brand's past, present and future. After you've had look at our top picks, why not check our run-down of the hottest timepieces around right now? Or take a look at our round-up of investment watches with deep histories? You're sure to find something you want to see on your own wrist. |

The TV creator behind the massive Yellowstone franchise dictates most of what I write about for Esquire. Not that it was ever my intention. I wasn't born with the yeehaw spirit—I'm from the town outside Philadelphia where M. Night Shyamalan filmed Signs—but Sheridan's shows became impossible to ignore. The 1923 season 2 finale, the Yellowstone season 5 finale, and the Landman premiere garnered more than 14 million global viewers each. To put that number in context, Succession season 4 averaged only around 8.7 million viewers per episode. Now TV's golden goose is one of the most sought-after creators in Hollywood. Last week, he signed a reported $1 billion deal to leave Paramount for NBCUniversal. |

You're thirteen years old. Your emotions rocket from total devastation to euphoria and back—all day, every day—but today, right now, life is pretty fucking bad. It's November 2015 and you're eight-hundred-some miles away from home, living with your mom in a god-awful extended-stay hotel. Two doors in this glorified closet—one goes outside, the other to the bathroom. Your family can't afford anything better. Gaten Matarazzo and I have been together for about an hour when he tells me about the extended-stay hotel. It's a sunny afternoon in mid-July, and we're at a beer joint in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood—the kind of joint that feels two feet wide but stretches back for miles. We're tucked into the back, right in front of a Skee-Ball machine. That thirteen-year-old boy is now twenty-three, with bushy eyebrows, bright blue eyes, and jet-black-painted fingernails. That little show, Stranger Things? It blew up. The fourth season alone netted 140,700,000 views for Netflix alone—good enough to make it the streamer's third-most-watched show of all time. It'll end in 2025 with season 5, which will debut in three parts, spanning the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve. It nearly goes without saying how critical it is for series creators Matt and Ross Duffer to stick the landing—a shaky ending goes down in TV infamy (ahem, Game of Thrones), and a special one gives the cast and creators enough prestige to last a lifetime (Breaking Bad). |
