Review: Refreshing size, exhibition case back! Excellent. - When I opened the box, the first thing that hit me was the size. In the modern day of poorly proportioned, overpriced fashion watches, it was great to see that it fitted perfectly onto my wrist. It is small without looking dainty or feminine. As far as accuracy goes, it isn't the same as a quartz movement, but I don't see why anyone would complain. For an automatic watch at this price point, it is unbeatable. I reckon it could beat a watch over twice its price for accuracy. The sandblasted finish is a godsend- a quick wipe and it is clean (no streaks or permanent marks). The dial is a brilliant colour, and the thickness of the case is excellently proportioned. In addition, the exhibition case back is amazing. Sure, not the most decorated movement out there, but the fact that Seiko included one on a watch of this price point is brilliant. It's not all amazing though. The strap is comes on is slightly stiff and itchy at first, and over time becomes frayed. This isn't an issue, a £5 nato or other strap can easily fix this issue. I find that a tan leather strap looks great, and unlike a nato, doesn't block the case back. The water resistance isn't up to swimming standard, although I don't see why it would be an issue if there was a short-ish dip in the water. It's tough enough to survive everyday life, but don't plan on going diving with it. Overall, a great value watch with some brilliant features. The loom is really helpful, and gives the illusion of the watch being more expensive than it is. Great job Seiko. Change the strap though.
Review: Cracking Piece of kit... just be realistic! - Bought one of these, and I'm really pleased, and not just because the price was jumped way up since...it looks lovely. The quality and build are nice and it looks sleek and smart on the wrist, a real James Bond piece of equipment. It is a little smaller than many men's watches in this age of aggressive overbuilt bezels, but I like it - it will not look as if you have a miniaturised ladies' watch on if you are a male. It also means it won't catch on everything. Hardlex crystal resists scratching. The numbers and arrow aren't luminous, it has 12 pips plus the hands, but this is perfectly adequate and it goes equally well for both office and sports use. It will tolerate showers and swimming but no diving Apparently these are genuine Seikos with a Malaysian rather than Japanese movement - fine, I bought several and none have given me a reason to complain. What negatives I have read about these watches for the greater part appear misguided. It has an aviator dial and hands, to precisely indicate seconds and minutes which tend to be more important than hours if you're piloting a high-performance aircraft! It is an automatic watch that must be worn most days to keep the mainspring wound by a gyro utilising the natural movement of your wrist - they're finely engineered but tend to lose a few seconds a day. Also bear in mind that for a relatively low price, you're getting a very smart and utilitarian watch by a good make - if you want titanium shockproofing and 200m - plus of water resistance, then expect to pay more! Overall a lovely piece of engineering and I'm delighted with mine...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the water resistance of this watch like? Could I dip it in a bath for example**
A: In general, the water resistance of watches is expressed in terms of the pressure that the watch can withstand when submerged for a short time in cold, still water. 30m may sound a lot but, if you're in moving water (or moving your hands through the water (like when you're swimming), the actual pressure on the watch is far greater than this. The same goes for wearing a watch in a shower, the bath or just running it under a tap. For practical purposes, 30m should be considered to be "splash proof" (Ok for washing the dishes, or for accidental short term exposure to water). For swimming, or for a watch that is going to get exposed to water frequently, then a water resistance rating of 100m (or 10atm) is generally recommended.  It's also worth bearing in mind that the seals on the watch deteriorate over time and the water resistance will decrease. Most jewellers are able to pressure test the watch (the safest method is with air pressure) and, depending on how the watch is assembled, in some cases, they are able to replace the seals (although I've known some quite expensive watches made by a well known Swiss watch group to be returned from the manufacturer following repair to come with a note saying that the water resistance of the watch cannot be guaranteed following a repair).

**Q: The Japanese version will depreciate in price far slower. Do you happen to know where I can purchase it?**
A: Why would anyone worry about depreciation on a £100 watch? It’s not a Rolex!

**Q: is this made in japan or china?**
A: It is definitely not Japan, as all Seiko 5's made in Japan will say so on the dial. The watch is most likely assembled in Malaysia.

**Q: Is the day indicator in English?**
A: It has two settings English and French you can set it to either when setting day pull crown out one click turn counter clockwise to set day this will roll though English then French select day turn crown clockwise and set date do not try to set watch day date when the hands are between 10pm and 3pm at night as this will damage the movement. Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This watch is waterproof, and therefore perfect
*by J***S on 26 July 2016*

This is an amazing watch. It doesn't concede to the fashion of ridiculously big cases, it's fully waterproof, it keeps time pretty well and the open back is really cool to look at in dull meetings etc. This is a watch with 30m water resistivity. Almost all the information I could find regarding the water resistance categories told me this meant it was strong enough to withhold a splash as I washed my hands or stood in the rain. Forever an optimist, I ignored this advice and have showered every day in this watch, and swam on multiple occasions. I've even worn it when freediving, reaching around 10m underwater which is very different to accidental contact when washing hands. The watch is absolutely fine and has seen no damage due to this, and in addition, it looks really cool underwater for some reason. This is a watch I wear every day and night. I never take it off. Although that may be a bit gross, it does leave me well qualified after a few months of wearing it to say that this is a resilient watch. Although I try not to hit or scratch the face, it has had a few bumps and yet shows no sign of it. The strap gets a lot of hate in these reviews. It is made out to be tatty and some people even say it stretches throughout the day. I must say that although I was unsure about it at first, the strap has grown on me in a far more positive way! I replaced it initially with a rubber clasp band, but found I missed the rugged, 'service watch' feel of the nylon band. And in response to the complains of the strap stretching, I would suggest that it is merely the result of the wearer's wrist changing as they move throughout the day, for i have had no such problems. The accuracy of this watch is exactly what one might expect from an automatic watch. Comparing it to my Apple Watch which is of course accurate 100% of the time, I find the watch looses or gains perhaps a minute or two a week. Some reviewers said that their watch stopped due to their sedatory job and lifestyle. This astounds me that someone could move so little that their watch wouldn't be able to charge itself. But anyway. I would suggest you buy this watch. I almost decided to go for the more expensive option, the bigger and more waterproof seiko (I can't remember the name sorry) due to its 100m resistance. However, I'm happy to say my fears were alayed: this watch is as waterproof as I need at least. (Maybe not if you're a scuba diver?)
