Review: One of the best values available among automatic watches - I'm a big fan of mechanical automatic watches, and the Seiko 5 line is an excellent introduction to mechanicals at a low price. One of my favorite Seiko 5 lines is the "Military" series (there are two lines, actually, this one with the "Flieger" style dial featuring minutes, and another line with the hour numbers primarily shown). This watch is not too large, unlike many watches nowadays. I have never had any Seiko automatic watch fail, except for one of these that I dropped from a height of about 8 feet onto a tile floor, which cracked the back and stopped the watch. This one is running well so far and it looks great. Other reviewers who complain about accuracy may not be familiar with mechanical watches. You should not expect a mechanical to have anything close to the accuracy of a quartz watch. If you gain or lose a minute every few days, that's pretty good for a mechanical, especially in this price range. The 7S26 movement is robust for its cost and many, many, many of these movements have been produced through the years. A mechanical movement such as this would ideally be serviced every 5 to 10 years (relubrication, etc.) but at this price range, I will just replace the whole watch in 5 to 10 years if it isn't running well. If you really want this to be more accurate, it is possible to adjust the watch after it's "broken in", although you should know what you're doing before you attempt that, or should take it to a knowledgable watch shop with someone who has expertise in Seikos specifically. But if what you are really looking for is accuracy, you probably don't want a mechanical watch, you want a quartz watch. Honestly, how many of us really need our watches to be accurate down to the second? Most Seiko 5s I've owned, when fully wound, will run for about 30 hours before stopping. Since I have about 16 watches, I rarely wear the same watch two days in a row, so my mechanicals have usually stopped when I pick them up. I don't mind, I actually enjoy interacting with the watches to restart them and reset them. A Seiko 5 will start if you shake it a few times, and if you're even moderately active, it will be fully wound in the course of a day. By the way, if you are not very familiar with Seiko, you should realize that this company makes a HUGE array of watches that are not marketed in the United States. Seiko makes very high-end mechanicals (such as the Grand Seiko series) that cost thousands of dollars and which easily compete with Rolex, Omega, etc. (I think some would say that a Grand Seiko is significantly better than a Rolex), tons of mid-range mechanicals that cost a few hundred dollars (and are still some of the best watches made), and a wide variety of inexpensive, but high-quality, mechanicals in the Seiko 5 and Diver lines. Their movements are made in-house (I prefer this to the mid- to high-range brands like TAG Heuer, etc., that use movements made by other companies) and Seiko has many years of experience with making everything that goes into the watch, right down to the lubricants that are used on the moving parts. Overall, this is an excellent choice, especially for the money. This is a much better watch (in terms of quality as well as appearance) than almost anything in this price range. Way better than a Timex, Casio, etc.--I don't think you can find a better $50-$60 watch than this.
Review: This watch is a winner! - I am new to automatic and mechanical wind wristwatches, so, after purchasing a rather expensive battery operated quartz movement over a year before this Seiko the battery went dead and that was a huge disappointment for me. The battery operated quarts movement watch that I owned was supposed to have a 5 year life but died much sooner. I took the watch to a jeweler to have the battery replaced and the cost for the replacement battery was through the roof. Not only was it expensive to have the battery replaced but the Jeweler ruined the water resistance 'integrity' of the watch by smashing the o-ring that seals the back of my watch. Well, it didn't take long for my battery operated watch to become totally destroyed by water intrusion. Almost immediately after my battery watch failed that's when I decided that I was no longer going to buy 'ANYMORE' battery operated wristwatches so, the search began for a new mechanical or automatic watch. It took a long while, I was shopping almost everyday for over a month but most of the wristwatches were overly expensive and had features I wasn't really excited about. After about 2 months of shopping I accidentally stumbled upon these Seiko's. I sure am glad I waited and found them. I AM VERY PLEASED! When I received my new Seiko automatic wristwatch I could see right of way it was no piece of junk. It was heavy and felt good in my hands. The dial was easy to read even without my eyeglasses. I am a 54 year old man with extremely poor vision so I need high contrast to see the time and daily calendar. Although some reviewers may have complained it's smaller then what they had expected, I think it's a very appropriate size for both males and females. Perhaps for some people and I guess depending on your taste in fashion and social statement perhaps it may be to small for some men. I am a 6 foot man at 260 pounds and I think it's a perfect size and I am very picky. Just so everyone knows, most of the watches I currently own are the Invicta Russian Divers and they're huge timepieces, I really love those large watches however, this smaller Seiko watch was refreshing. What I mean by refreshing: I am always worried about ruining my other expensive watches, I don't wear them everyday but this Seiko is a watch I can wear everyday and not worry about banging it around since they are cheap enough to actually purchase several others. These Seiko's are perfect for everyday wear. I usually only wear my Invicta's when I go to dinner or some other social gathering but these Seiko's are actually very pretty and masculine enough to go out for dinner or other social occasions. Really, it's not that small and it's also not an ugly watch. This Seiko wristwatch probably won't get noticed as much as perhaps another more expensive wristwatch but if you take it off and show it to someone I know they are going to like it. I think what matters most to myself is knowing that I have a brand new 'name brand' Seiko quality wristwatch and never have to worry about a battery ever again or accidentally breaking it. I'm usually pretty careful so I am not really worried about breaking it although, this Seiko feels really tough so I think it can take a good beating. Let me tell you what I like about my new Seiko wristwatch. First, It keeps perfect time. After just a few days it's still accurate...I like the size of this watch, large watches get bumped a quite a bit however this watch has a lower profile so it's not likely to easily bump into things as you perform your daily chores... I like the stem at the 4 O'clock position because it makes it much easier to adjust without having to remove the watch from my arm...The brushed steel finish is absolutely beautiful... The crystal is flat making the watch face easy to read at any angle... I truly like the high contrast of the hands against the dial... The calendar is very large and very easy to see with ample contrast even without my eyeglasses... Pulling the stem out one click sets the calendar without stopping the watch, turn the stem clockwise for the day and counter clockwise for the date... I like that the watch movement does not stop operating when the stem is pulled all the way out to adjust the time, you can however stop the watch from ticking if you put some slight counterclockwise pressure on the stem, this allows for more accurate time setting. A little more counterclockwise pressure also makes the watch run backwards for even more accurate time setting... I happen to like the watch band and buckle, too... What I really like are the luminescent hands and markers. I noticed just this morning after 5 hours of compete darkness the hands and markers were still view-able although, the luminescence wasn't overly bright but there was just enough to see the time in complete darkness... I like that the watch is not overly complicated with sub-dials. Everything I need to know about the time and date is supplied with this Seiko... I like that it's water resistant... Finally, I really like that's it's a Seiko but more importantly it's the perfect wristwatch with all the perfect features for the perfect price... This watch has all the features I was looking for in a in a new watch... I have to say, "I am so very happy with this new watch so I just purchased two more in different colors, the tan and the blue. Soon I will buy a green and another black. I think you'll truly enjoy this Seiko wristwatch! I am not disappointed whatsoever so, I highly recommend the purchase of this watch. For this kind of money, it's absolutely PERFECT! Thank you for reading :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does "automatic" mean self-winding?**
A: Automatic absolutely does mean, “self winding”. There’s no battery and no capacitor, as someone else claimed. As long as you wear the watch at least 10 hours a day then you should never have to hand wind it. Moving your arm throughout the day causes a rotor inside the watch to turn, which winds the watch and will not allow the watch to be overwound by the rotor. Once the main spring is fully wound, it provides anywhere from 40 to 120 hours of reserve spring power (depending on the brand/model), allowing you to place the watch on your nightstand while you sleep or even put it in a drawer over the weekend, and the watch will keep running until you put it back on again. If the watch is stationary for too long and all the energy from the main spring has run out, then put about 5 full turns on the crown, reset the date and time, put the watch on and you’re good to go. The self winding rotor will finish winding the watch for you and keep it wound indefinitely as long as you wear the watch at least 10 hours a day.

**Q: How do I stop the second hand to set the exact second? I pull the crown out to the second position, but the 2nd hand doesn't stop.**
A: Absolutely do NOT put your watch on a magnet. You will magnetize your movement, and kill your accuracy. 

The 7S26 movement is non hacking, so you cannot stop the seconds hand for precise time setting. Look for something with a 4R35 or 4R36 movement if you want to set precise time.

**Q: whats the strap width? the page description says 17mm but i cant find one in that size :/**
A: Lug-to-lug width for SNKL43: 18-mm. Measured it two days ago to order a NATO-style watch strap.

**Q: Wore my new watch for twelve hours, took it off for twelve hours and it stopped. Is this normal??**
A: To me that is not normal. Sincethis movementis supposed to have an power reserve of 41 hours when fully wound spring. Eighter you are not moving your arm much or the watch is defective. I used mine black model now for about 2 weeks and it never stopped. I wore it now not for about 19 hours and it still runs.  Keep in mind that the rotor on the back only turns at an steep 90 degree angle. The self winding weight will not turn on an shallow angle - so it winds only confidently with some wrist up and down movement. Otherwise this is the best watch ever for me. I ordered 2 when the

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***L on May 11, 2020*

This is superb value for money field watch. That is, it does it’s intended job and at around $100 I don’t have to be careful. This is my “everyday work” watch. It’s “waterproof”... sorry water resistant, but it gets rained on, I ware it showering & swimming... I don’t dive past 6 feet with it on. It is superbly accurate, way past the official spec. I set I once a week, when it’s out by about a minute... often less. It gets knocked about, I’m a courier, so I’m forever banging my hand & wrists against stuff... nothing has fazed it so far. I have had the blue model for a couple of years so I bought this sand coloured one for my wife. It’s small, so it’s good for kids, gals, & fellas wth smaller wrists... or any one who doesn’t want a sticky-out watch. There are some negatives, but they’re not deal breakers for me. It’s an outstanding watch on truly awful band... so I spent $15 on a NATO band, & changed it myself. Woohoo! It seems to need some time to “bed in”, ie the self winding mechanism, & accuracy improve dramatically after a couple of weeks. Oh well, I don’t care. Bottom line, if you sped under $200 on a mechanical watch, and it gets water in it, it disappoints you, gets run over, hit with a hammer.... you know the sort of thin, no biggie. If you just spent $10,000 on your dream Omega, or whatever floats you boat & any of the above happen, you’re in a whole different dimension of hurt & probably inventing, new, profane, & colourful cures.
