Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch Seiko 5 Sports

What can I say about this great Seiko, it arrived in the original box with a lovely blue nato strap, the watch itself is a slightly newer version of the ever popular seiko skx line with a newer movment which can be hand wound and hackable. The bezel and finish of the watch is amazing for the money.If you are looking for a great entry level divers style watch then this is going to fit the bill very well.

My best watch, 6 seconds in 24 hrs fast. ( which at the price is fantastic )

The media could not be loaded. This is a great looking watch. I got the black and red version (SRPD83K1) as I wanted something different to the norm. It looks fantastic, like something designed by Kylo Ren, Darth Maul or Darth Vader! It is my first Seiko but not my first automatic watch. I've included a number of photos as well as a video (including lume shot) which I hope you find helpful.Much has been written on watch sites/forums etc about the fact this isn't a proper divers (no screw down crown and only 100 metres water resistance) but honestly I couldn't care less. This looks great, has enough water protection for 99.9% of things most people do and it's also been accurate and only needs adjusting every so often.I initially thought that this version wouldn't have any lume because... well it's red... but I was wrong. Charge it up via sunlight/light and the red markers, hands and second hand lollipop counterweight all glow a orange/pink colour. It again looks great but sadly doesn't last that long into the night before fading... but still as I was expecting none I'm pleased with it.The case is a smooth black and the unidirectional bezel (with non-lumed aluminium insert) turns with a reassuring weight and a damped clicking. There is little to no back-play on it either. The applied indices and hands are excellent and the chrome/metal surrounds catch the light really well so that the dial is legible in almost all daylight conditions. The crown pulls out nicely, hacking the watch (stopping the second hand) and finding the date and time adjust positions is easy. You can also use it to hand wind the watch to get it going if you so wish. Alternatively a little shake should be enough.At the rear of the watch is a display caseback so that you can see the automatic movement and jewels doing there thing. I love showing this to my youngest daughter who is fascinated by it, especially the jewels!Seiko use their propriety Hardlex crystal rather than Sapphire crystal and that would always be my one complaint as Sapphire will not scratch over time. That said with a bit of care the Hardlex should be fine and not an issue.The strap.... is good to OK. The length is great for my 7.25 inch wrist with just enough left over to fold back into the metal strap loops. It's comfy to wear but the nylon could have been a bit better quality. It feels thin. Still you get a Seiko signed buckle and all the metalwork is black to match the case.I'm very pleased with this and the price when I bought it was fantastic. Only downside is that I now want the all black version!

Absolutely love this watch. I wear it all the time now. It's very comfortable and tells the time, so it fulfills the brief. 😂With regards to size, I removed a couple of links to make it fit, but there is also a micro-adjustment on the catch, which gave me a perfect fit.The automatic mechanism to wind the watch is great. I am not an active person in terms of exercise daily, like jogging etc, but the watch is always running just from moving around at home. The specs say it will loose/gain some seconds per day, but I don't really notice it as any accuracy issues. As some months are shorter than others, you need to adjust the date we every couple of months, so I use this event to adjust the time as well. So the performance is great.The orange face really pops. So vibrant. The indices are coated in a glow in the dark material that works very well at night making the time clearly ledgeable/readable both night and day. The bezel has a very satisfying click that only goes one way. 👍Overall, this is a great little watch at the price point.

Bought for my oldest son for Christmas, after he'd lost his solar powered diving watch earlier in the year. He loves it.Since it's automatic, it does have to be worn for a while to power it up. The only downside I noted was that there were no instructions in the box, apart from a piece of paper telling you where to download the instructions. Since there's not a lot you can do with a watch (i.e. change time, date and day) I don't know why the piece of paper couldn't just contain that information rather than sending the user to a website. It took my son a while to work out how to change the day (time and date were pretty much standard), so it would have been useful to simply included that information in the box.Looks good though, and quite chunky.
