Seiko 5 Men's Automatic Watch with Black Dial Analogue Display and Black Fabric Strap SNK809K2

Product Information

jewels, 21,600 bph frequency, +-40 hours power reserve, the 7s26's really nothing to write home about, but it's still plenty to give you the itch for that next mechanical piece. Anything bigger or larger than this, it would already produce moisture and affect the inner part of the dial. Additional Details This Seiko watch requires 18mm straps. In fact, you’ll likely want to use a better watch strap with this unit. The canvas strap is a good one, but it’s not the best option in terms of durability and water-resistance. Beyond the strap, there’s not much to complain about, and the Seiko gives watches costing twice as much a run for their money. Seiko 5 series is equipped with water resistance applications. However, for people who are a water sports enthusiast, you might want to search for a triathlon watchinstead.

I’ve owned a Seiko SNK809 for a few years, it’s been my trusty go to Seiko 5 for a while (I collect Seiko watches). If anyone is looking for a starter watch that’s affordable, I can recommend this model. The sweeping second hand also has a red-accented tip for better visibility, and pairs beautifully with the red day complication.

Seiko 5 Military – Let’s Talk History

It’s one of the classic designs from the Japanese Brand: the Seiko SNK809 is their take on the classic field watch. Seiko SNK809 Review

The 7S26 automatic winding movement combines simplicity with reliability. It’s fitted with 21 jewels and beats at 21,600bph. With a standard deviation of -20/ +40 seconds a day, the 7S26 isn’t the most accurate of movements but is pretty reasonable for its’ price point. However, this watch is a good option if you want to swim while wearing your watch. Just make sure you don’t wear it for true scuba-diving since it might get damaged in the process. The Seiko SNK809 provides many features including its being durable, reliable, and practical. This makes it a practical option if you’re looking for your first-ever automatic timepiece. It explains why this model is, in fact, one of the best-selling Seiko watches on the market today.The qualities that give it such a straightforward appearance are a nod to the watch’s military roots, but they’re also a great opportunity for Seiko to show off its ability to build an insanely high-quality watch and sell it for peanuts. The watch is also a good option if you’re looking for a men’s watch with good aesthetics, functionality, and value for an entry-level price point. It’s a good choice if you want an automatic timepiece that’s loaded with features but won’t break the bank. Nothing is more satisfying than watching the gears and levers of a manual timepiece working in beautiful synchrony. It might not look as intricate as some other watches, but the 7S26 movement in this is still a sight to behold. The Strap It’s more than splash proof as you might read. It’s not the most water-proof watch for scuba-diving. So if you’re planning to do that activity, you should probably consider a different unit. The minute and hour hands both use the same lozenge shape. This looks good, but it is a bit counter-productive to have almost undistinguishable hands.

Doing so might require you to service your watch more often, but the cool cred you’ll get when pairing your Seiko with your speedos will more than make up for it, right? The Movement Photography by Jacques Elliott This is a run-of-the-mill hardened mineral crystal that will be pretty easy to scratch if you're not careful. However, it does have the advantage of being basically non-reflective, making the dial much more legible outside of the house. Now, I hope this Review of mine would help you in making your decisions. In the end, it is your preferences that will matter. You certainly know what would look best on you. And you also know what would not.A key reason why the Sea Urchin is so popular is because of its size. It comes in at a very reasonable 41mm case diameter. This case size is the sweet spot for most people - it won’t make the watch appear bulky on your wrist, and it won't look too small either. The Seiko Sea Urchin is honestly one of the most balanced and perfectly sized Seiko 5s. As you’d expect the canvas strap is designed to last, it’s typically very difficult to do any damage to it, short of taking a knife to the strap and cutting it, that strap is going to last you for years to come. This isn’t’ necessary since the watch is powered by the movement of your arm. You can also separate watch winder. This allows you to charge the watch easily. It’s certainly worth considering as a watch accessory. Conclusion However, based on the price point the SNK809 is a good option based on the various plusses. They include the outstanding price for an entry-level automatic Seiko. It’s also loaded with good features like the scratch-resistant hardlex crystal.
