Automatic Watch for Men 5-7S Collection

After doing some research, I purchased my first Seiko 5 watch. This is my third one. I am incredibly enthusiastic about the entire line, especially this model. It's reminiscent of a Rolex without trying to be a Rolex. I appreciate that. I ordered the watch two days ago, and then arrived today. It's very classy without being ostentatious, and, it looks good on the wrist (thought that the only thing that I would say, and this is a personal preference thing, is that I wish it were about 5 mm wider along the face.) But in no way does that preference dilute the perfection of the watch as it stands. The combination of the shiny and brushed Stainless steel give the watch a relaxed and casual look; however, the detail on the patterns along the back wall, the jewels, and the hour and minute hands are all the main focus points of the watch and give it a regal feel. Once you put it on, you can tell it is quality and will last for quite some time. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking to have a nice watch without going bankrupt.

Really nice men's watch. Friend really likes it, replacement for similar watch that needed repair after 30 yrs wearing.

The watch itself is good and looks nice. The stainless steel sparkles and so does the dial. But the band is bad. It pulls the hair unless tied tightly. Other issue is, this band can't be replaced with any other band easily, which limits this watch to this specific band that isn't good. Had I known this earlier, I would have not bought this. But now that I have, its not bad, there are some compromises, which some of the other similarly priced seiko don't have.

Keeps 20 seconds slow per 24 hours. Very accurate for the price point. Very satisfied with the swiftness of the delivery, and my new Seiko 5 is beautiful.

I bought this watch a few months ago and gave it a good initial review. However, after a month I had problems with the watch. When I would take it off for the night, it would stop running in a few hours. I contacted the seller and they responded with that I should wear it 24 hours and that is how automatic watches are supposed to work. Rhis is baloney. Who wears a watch 24 X 7 ? The sellers in my view are dishonest and did not claim responsibility for a defective product. BUYER BEWARE? I will never buy this watch at least from this dealer.

Pros/what I like: - beautifully textured dial - style of the hands - day/date window with colored "SAT" and "SUN" - well-polished hour markers - lume - weightless feel - proportions: slim case thickness, case diameter of 35 mm, lug-to-lug - how polished the bezel is - bi-directional adjustable day/date in the second position of the crown Cons/what I dislike: - this is more of a me problem, but since there are no numbers, I sometimes get confused with reading the time - slightly difficult to turn the crown since it is designed to almost hide away entirely in the case - I don't mind this aspect, but I definitely think the strap can be improved; it feels very light and cheap and without solid end-links or structure, it sort of morphs oddly around different parts of my wrist instead of holding shape - due to the design of the watch, the lug width and bracelet are uniquely paired to this specific watch which means there is absolutely zero customizability to swap out watch straps; you are stuck with this one forever Overall, I absolutely adore this watch. This was my first ever Seiko and first ever automatic movement. I often find myself switching day-to-day between this and my Orient Kamasu. If I want a slim feel and want something handsome with dressy dimensions, I wear this. If I want to feel something heavy on my wrist that is incredibly sporty and divey, I wear my Kamasu. However, each time I put this on, I still find myself entranced by the sleek and simple dial.

It is not water resistant to 100 meters as advertised on Amazon. It is good to 30 meters which is generally taken to mean: Splashes won't ruin it but submerging it will. I have not tried wearing it in the shower and don't want to take the risk. Also, if your wrist is not humongous you will either need a jeweler to remover links or you will need to order a tool to remove them.

First impressions? Not great. The bracelet is of shockingly poor quality, literally on par with the bracelets found on sub $25 Chinese quarts watches. WATER RESISTANCE IS FAR LESS THAN THE 100 METERS LISTED IN THE DESCRIPTION, at literally 3 BAR OR 30 meters. Instead of being able to swim or shower with this watch, it is guaranteed only to withstand rain and splashes commonly associated hand washing! The positives? I like the design and the 3/4 size. From a distance, it's quite attractive, but that's where it ends. The movement is made in Malasia instead of using Seiko's automatic movement made in Japan. The bracelet is so poorly made that it kinks and jams in that position and won't smoothly wrap around the wrist. The links are cheap metal sandwiches wrapped with an outer layer of metal that is more commonly found in the cheapest watches sold at truck stops. For the money, I've gotten far better made Chinese watches using Japanese-made Seiko automatic movements that have impeccably-made and finished solid stainless, machined link bracelets. I have several, beautifully-made Seiko watches, but this watch is garbage. It's going back to the vendor, immediately.

11月22日の昼頃に発注しましたが、翌日の午前中に到着しました。素早い対応ありがとうございました。バンド調整に、板ばね式があるのを今回初めて知りました。YouTube で勉強し挑戦しました。意外に簡単です。長く愛用しようと思っています。

Nice watch very light and high quality the only problem is has a small face not what my husband usually wears but does the job.

Loopt ongeveer 1 seconde per dag achter. Dat is voor een mechanisch horloge niet slecht, maar het betekent wel dat je het horloge elke twee of drie maanden gelijk moet zetten (afhankelijk van hoe accuraat je wilt zijn). De vraag is natuurlijk hoe lang dit horloge het volhoudt. Gezien de prijs verwacht ik niet langer dan 10 jaar met dit horloge te kunnen doen. Update: na ruim twee jaar loopt dit horloge elke dag een half uur te snel. Volstrekt waardeloos dus.

Initial review. Feels solid built, the days are in English and japanese, nice dial. Ordered Thursday afternoon and arrived Monday morning in Amazon shopper -> bubble wrap -> 1st Seiko box -> 2nd Seiko box.
