5.0 out of 5 stars Falling In Love! January 7, 2006

By M. T. Nino

After many years of collecting watches, I'm falling again with Seiko watches! Where can you find affordability, durability, and realiability in one watch? Seiko "5" is your answer. Seiko "5" is probably the most affordable of all automatic watches from any brand, and they are built to last a lifetime. Seiko "5" means, 1.Date, 2.Day, 3.Automatic, 4.Shock Resistant, 5.Water Resistance. This model in particular, it's a rolex style. It has stainless steel bracelet(jubilee) and case, see thru back, hardlex scratch resistance crystal, luminous hands and markers, water resistance to 100 feet, a 21 Jewel automatic movement cal. 7S26, and 1 year warranty. Where can you find all that for less than $100? This watch can be adjusted for accuracy, but I would recommend a waiting period of a couple of months for the movement to settle down. When I dress up, this is the watch I wear. It's confortable, classic, and simply gorgeous. The same watch upgraded to water resist 100m (330ft) is called "Sport". With saphire Crystal and a 23 jewel automatic movement, "Superior".

5.0 out of 5 stars nice solid watch August 28, 2011

I have always either not had a watch or just bought cheap battery-powered watches. I decided to investigate automatic watches, and everything I found seemed to point to the Seiko 5 line. I decided this particular Seiko 5 watch was the one I liked the style of best. It looks like a more expensive watch, and so far performs very well. I am not checking if it is off by a few seconds every day like some reviewers have said, because that just doesn't concern me. If I notice it's off a few minutes I'll just take a few seconds to reset it.

As far as the appearance, I wouldn't want it to be much smaller but it's a good size. Larger watches seem to be popular lately, so I've seen a lot that are much bigger. This has a nice weight and feels like it is built well for the price. The actual day of the week is black during Mon through Fri, turns blue on Sat and turns red on Sun. There are options for Spanish or English weekday abbreviations. The back of the case (not visible when worn) is see-through, which is a nice effect. If you press the watch against your ear you can hear the ticking, but even in a silent room I didn't hear it on an end table. The motion of the second hand (which corresponds to the ticking sound) seems to be 4 moves/ticks every second.

I was unsure how bright this watch is, and an interesting note is that the ribbed ring around the face is a bright and shiny silver. The center three strips of the band are also bright silver, while the rest of the watch is a more dull polished steel color. The two colors are very similar and it creates a nice effect that gives the watch a nice design and in my opinion makes it wearable for dress or casual occasions. It's also nice to know that the hands themselves and dots at the ends of each hour mark are not quite white, but that very slightly green-yellow color that then glows a bright green-yellow in the dark. This has already come in handy after just a week of ownership.

Other notes are that I have very short, non-functional fingernails yet I was still able to pull out the thing to set the time pretty easily. And on this band, don't struggle with removing links by pushing them out from the very ends - there are little dots in the middle of the band that you can push with something pointed to remove the links really easily. It does require some pressure but is easier than most band adjustments I've dealt with before if you take a minute to look closely at the band and see how it works.

Overall, I think this is an excellent choice if you're looking for a classy watch from a reliable budget brand - you really can't go wrong with any of the Seiko 5 watches in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's just ok April 1, 2009

By bubusdeolivos

This watch was sold and shipped by 007 WatchMidpoint and it came super fast, given the fact that they are in Houston, so do I.

It came with the outer cover, blue box, instructions for a quick setup (a Xerox copy), printed manual and warranty card.

I was looking to add a white face dress watch to my little collection and thought this one would fit the bill but I think I made a mistake with it.

First of all the good:

1) Confy
2) Fairly accurate
3) Lumibrite hands an markers glow is very good.
4) Finish overall is decent.

The bad:

1) The bracelet is dirt cheap and TOO blingy to my taste. I had this watch in my cart and after the purchase, the photo was a different one, more accurate with what is shown on this page.

2) The size of the case, without the crown is 35.5 mm, which is TOO small to my taste. (My wrist is 7 3/4)

3) The day and date don't align horizontally as they should.

I'm still undecided on keeping or returning it.

Good luck.

PS: returned.
