Mens Automatic Watch, Analogue Classic Display and Stainless Steel Strap SNXS79

This is the first mechanical watch I own. I bought it after seeing it recommended in a YouTube video. Having owned it for a month now, I can say it doesn't disappoint. Starting with the negatives: The bracelet is of low quality, comfortable, but has a different finish compared to the case and feels light and cheap. Removing links on your own is a nightmare. Also, the display caseback protrudes quite a bit from the back of the watch, making it seem to "float" on your wrist. This can be fixed by replacing the caseback with a thinner non-display one, which is what I've done before taking the pictures (caseback ref. 7S26-3040). Now to the positives that make this watch 5-star worthy: The case is very well-made with a polished finish and feels heavy and of good quality. The dial is a gorgeous brushed grey that reflects light in a variety of different ways; pictures don't do it justice. Together with the polished silver case, hands, and hour markers, it makes for a very shiny package. A colleague even thought I was wearing a Rolex when worn with the bracelet in the picture (not the original bracelet). Time accuracy is much better than what the specs say; I've had to adjust it only once after a month of wear, and it was off by less than two minutes, which is an accuracy of + or - 4 seconds a day, better than some watches that cost 10 times as much. And lastly, the well-designed case, polished grey dial, and the watch dimensions make it fit well with lots of different straps, making it suitable to wear in a variety of occasions. Overall, a very fun, entry-level mechanical watch at a bargain price. It is my favorite in my small (but expanding) watch collection and by far the one that gets the most wrist time.

nice watch would recomend

I looked for an additional dress style watch for everyday use. This Seiko combines classic style and worhty appearance at an unbelievable price. Owning several much more expensive swiss and german watches this one beats all if you consider the price. Materials are simple but do not look cheap. The movement is very basic without fancy details, hand winding and hack function. But why care? It runs accurate immediately after you give it some shakes. Currently, after two weeks it gains 4-6 seconds per day. This is what the expensive ones dream of. Only one of them is more accurate. OK let's see if this will still be true after years. The metal bracelet is very simple but still better than expected. The look is boring. Tip: Put the watch on a nice, not too cheap leather strap and it looks much more worthy and elegant. I use a matt dark brown leather strap. It harmonizes perfectly with the dark grey-brownish shining face of this watch. Some people complain about the size being too small. I find it perfectly sized for this kind of watch. Oversized watches are out of style anyway. If you want it a bit bigger go for a sportswatch.

This wrist watch started losing time. I sent it back to SEIKO but they say they never received it up until now. I regret going near SEIKO.

This is not the most expensive watch, but it keeps excellent time, and presents very well if you are after a simple, uncluttered design. Like all my Seiko watches, it is an excellent balance between price and quality. I've had other Seiko watches around this price point, and they have lasted well for about a decade, despite my absence of care. If I had been better about getting them serviced even once each 5 years, they would probably go on forever. Looks great either casually, or with a suit for work, and take plenty of punishment without problems.

Amazing looking watch very happy, but poor quality stainless steel strap. Grade is 304, very cheap steel. A watch of this price should have 316 steel.

Looks good and keeps excellent time. Took contacting Seiko service centre (they were excellent and stayed on the phone with me while I sorted the challenge) getting the day and time synced. It does the job in style.

Silver/black Great looking watch, great price BUT read the description rather than look at the pictures. I liked the green tinted dial in the picture but the face isn't green at all. The description is Silver/Black and that is the colour of the face.
