Search "PINDU horse racing watch," or try the reference number "6652" on its own, and most of what comes back is a marketplace listing with no model number and few specs attached. PINDU actually sells two different PD6652 watches: the Horse Racing Series at $299.99 and the Horse Gambling Series at $379.99. This post lines up exactly what each listing says the watch does, what's inside it, how it wears, and which one is worth your money.
Verdict: buy the PINDU PD6652 Horse Racing Series if you want a named NH35 movement at the lower price; buy the PINDU PD6652 Horse Gambling Series if its listed skeleton dial, folding clasp with safety and steel-accented strap are worth $80 more to you than a named calibre.
Best value: PINDU PD6652 Horse Racing Series, $299.99 — Japanese NH35 automatic, rotating dial design, bracelet clasp.
Best for the skeleton look: PINDU PD6652 Horse Gambling Series, $379.99 — skeleton dial, folding clasp with safety, leather strap with stainless steel elements.
Want the gimmick without the horse theme? See PD6617 ($227.99) and PD6629 ($249.99) further down.
Skip it if you want a named movement in the $379.99 version, a smaller case, or diving-rated water resistance — both PD6652 watches run large and are rated for swimming, not diving. Read on before you buy either.
What does the PINDU horse racing watch do?
Per PINDU's own listing, the PD6652 Horse Racing Series uses a rotating dial design built around a horse-racing and wheel-game theme, with luminous hands and a sapphire mirror over the dial. The listing does not describe exactly how the wheel turns, only that the display type is "analog needle with rotating dial design."
The PINDU PD6652 Horse Gambling Series carries the same PD6652 reference but is listed with a skeleton dial and a roulette-style theme; its listing describes it as inspired by European racing and roulette entertainment themes. The Horse Gambling listing doesn't mention a rotating dial at all, and neither listing explains how any part of the dial moves, so we won't guess. What the listings do say: the $299.99 version is built around a racing and wheel-game theme with a rotating dial design, and the $379.99 version has a skeleton dial with a roulette-style theme.

What's the difference between the PINDU PD6652 Horse Racing and Horse Gambling Series?
The $299.99 Horse Racing Series has a rotating dial design and a named Japanese NH35 automatic movement; the $379.99 Horse Gambling Series has a skeleton dial, a leather strap with stainless steel elements, a folding clasp with safety, and an automatic movement the listing does not name. Case size and water resistance are identical.
| Model | Movement | Size | Key feature | Price | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PD6652 Horse Racing Series | Japanese NH35 automatic self-wind | 46mm × 16mm | Rotating dial, bracelet clasp | $299.99 | Buyers who want a named movement at the lower price |
| PD6652 Horse Gambling Series | Automatic self-winding mechanical (unnamed) | 46mm × 16mm | Skeleton dial, steel strap elements, folding clasp with safety | $379.99 | Buyers who want the listed skeleton dial and folding clasp and don't need the movement named |

What movement is in the PINDU horse racing watch?
The $299.99 Horse Racing Series names its movement outright: a Japanese NH35 automatic self-wind calibre, the same widely used movement found in PINDU's PD6617 and PD6629 roulette watches. The $379.99 Horse Gambling Series only lists "automatic self-winding mechanical" in its specs, without naming a calibre.
If you haven't dealt with an NH35 before, our NH35 movement explainer covers what the calibre actually is and why it shows up across so many automatic watches at this price. For the Horse Racing Series, that's a known quantity; for the Horse Gambling Series, it isn't — you're buying the skeleton dial and the look, not a confirmed movement name.

Is the PINDU horse racing watch worth it?
At $299.99 for a named NH35 movement, sapphire crystal, and a 46mm steel case with leather strap, the Horse Racing Series is reasonably priced for what's listed. The $379.99 Horse Gambling Series costs $80 more for a skeleton dial and steel-accented strap without naming its movement — worth it only if the listed skeleton dial matters more to you than that detail.
Neither listing claims a power reserve figure, jewel count, or accuracy rating, so judge the price against what's actually stated: case, crystal, strap, clasp and dial style. On that basis the Horse Racing Series is the stronger spec-for-dollar pick, and the Horse Gambling Series is a surcharge for the listed skeleton dial, folding clasp and steel-accented strap. Compare the listing photos of both versions in your chosen colour before paying the extra $80, so you can see for yourself what the listed skeleton dial changes.
Can you swim with the PINDU PD6652?
Both PD6652 versions list 5ATM/50M water resistance, which PINDU's own spec sheet describes as suitable for swimming and water activities. Neither listing rates either watch for diving, so treat 50M as a swimming and everyday water-contact rating, not a dive rating.
That puts both PD6652 watches ahead of PINDU's PD6617 Las Vegas Roulette, which is rated 3ATM/30M and listed for everyday wear, with no swimming claim.
How big is the PINDU horse racing watch?
Both PD6652 watches share the same case: 46mm in diameter and 16mm thick, in stainless steel, on a 22mm leather strap. That's a large case by any standard — thicker and wider than a typical three-hand watch — so it wears as a deliberate style statement rather than something that disappears under a cuff.
The band length is listed at 21cm for the Horse Racing Series and 22cm for the Horse Gambling Series, both on a 22mm-wide leather strap. On a smaller wrist, a 46mm case that stands 16mm tall can look oversized and sit high under a shirt cuff, and no strap swap changes that. If that's you, skip both PD6652 versions. If the size suits you, the 22mm leather replacement strap names P6652 (the code shown in the Horse Gambling Series specs) among its confirmed fits, and both PD6652 versions list a 22mm band width, so you can change the colour without changing the watch.
Can you swap the strap on the PINDU PD6652?
Yes — both PD6652 versions list a 22mm band width, and PINDU's 22mm leather replacement strap ($24.99) names P6652 among its confirmed fits, with quick-release spring bars so no tools are needed. It's a simple way to change the look of either the Horse Racing or Horse Gambling version without buying a new watch.

Prefer roulette instead of the horse theme?
PINDU's PD6617 Las Vegas Roulette ($227.99) and PD6629 Casino Roulette ($249.99) swap the horse-racing theme for a spinning roulette-wheel complication, both built on the Seiko NH35 automatic movement with 21 jewels. PD6617 is rated 3ATM/30M; PD6629 steps up to 5ATM/50M.
PD6617 pairs a 46mm steel case with a genuine-leather strap and carries a brand-stated 3-year warranty. PD6629 steps up to the 5ATM/50M rating for $22 more than PD6617, and is still $50 less than the Horse Racing Series.

Who should buy the PINDU PD6652, and who should skip it?
Buy the Horse Racing Series if you want a bold statement watch with a named automatic movement for under $300. Buy the Horse Gambling Series if the skeleton dial justifies $80 more to you. Skip both if you want a compact case or genuine dive-rated water resistance, and skip the Horse Gambling Series specifically if a named movement matters to you.
