SEIKO5 Analog Navy Dial Men's Watch - SNKA05K1

Classic and nice watch!

This was a gift for my oldest kid. It's my 3rd time buying a Seiko 5 automatic movement watch. Love them. Styling and reliability are great.

Nice watch but it gains about 5 minutes a day. Minor inconvenience

I've had this watch for about two weeks now, and so far it has performed flawlessly. It took a little drop with no ill effects, and I bumped it on the door while carrying an old CRT TV, again with no ill effects. It keeps time almost as accurately as my Seiko quartz watch and/or the clock on the cell phone. I have had to set it a couple of times as it ran down on the days I didn't wear it. A full winding seems to last somewhere in the neighborhood of 24 hours. Reading some of the other reviews of these watches, I thought it might be really junky, but so far it has performed like a champ. Only time will tell if it has longevity or not, but for the price I'm really happy with it. Oh, and I think it looks great too. After reading the other reviews I was afraid it would look and feel really cheesy, but it doesn't. I really wanted a vintage blue faced watch, but they were all too spendy for my blood. I was looking for a watch to wear daily that might get knocked around some. This watch is very nice looking and has a nice heft to it, which I like. I adjusted the band via the clasp with a paper clip, and that took about two minutes. I'd say give the Seiko 5 a whirl. I'm glad I finally did.

Quality and price

Great price for a Seiko. Looks good.

I really liked the design and size of the watch. But unfortunately, when I opened the package, the first thing that caught my eye were the 2 "(" shaped deep scratches on the glass. I started the return process, I wish it had arrived intact. There are 2 scratches towards the middle on the 10 gauge.

I've owned a dozen Seiko watches over the years, so I knew more, or less what to expect with this one. I'd have given it five stars, but the band is pure trash, and if you plan on wearing it every day, you'll want to invest in a better one. I bought the watch to replace an older one that had a scratched crystal, and in terms of the watch itself, I have zero complaints. I wear it often, and like all the others I've owned, I've never had any issues with water damage. It's not a diver's watch, but it's fine for swimming, snorkeling, Etc.
