This stylish automatic watch by Seiko features a clean and simple timepiece. This is a perfect watch for everyday wear. Hidden behind the Seiko Men's Automatic Stainless Steel Watch's classic analog design are high-tech progressive elements like a day and date function in two languages (English and Spanish) and precise 21-jewel Japanese automatic movement, a feature that means this watch never needs batteries or winding; it is powered automatically by the movement of your arm. Time of day is displayed on a black analog dial that showcases luminous silver-toned hands and luminous silver-toned baton and Arabic hour markers. The dial also features a day and date window at the three o'clock position, and is protected by a Hardlex crystal and backed by a stainless steel case. Keeping all of this securely on your wrist is a stainless steel link bracelet that closes with a double-push-button fold-over safety clasp. Other features include a custom crown at the four o'clock position and water-resistance to 99 feet (30 meters).

Great value, great watch.. Cost less to maintaine it too..
I just want to add my own comment in regards to this Seiko 5 Automatic watch, since I have read many of these already posted reviews and since some buyers commented too in regards to this product.. The Seiko watches are great watches for the money. Design, Craftsman-ship, Polish, Finish, Dial, Hands, Mechanism itself, Accuracy.. I had over the years many high-in watches including up to Rolex DayJust, Breitling, 3 x Omegas, 3 x Balls, Rado, 3 x Tissots, many many others too, all having ETA movements.. However, I was not happy with the amount of money that I have spent for all these "Timepieces", since NONE of them had been right on the dot, or perfect accurate in any shape or form, with the exception of Ball watches as being much better than many of these VERY expensive watches out there including Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, Frank Muller, Panarai, etc, as well as some of these having "Tourbillion" movements too.. I never understood why in the world anyone would buy any of these extremely expensive watches anyway, since these items are incredible way overpriced, or up to $500K+ depends on how complicate they are.. However, that is somehow normal from any mechanical watch since the performance rely on temperature of your body and the weather over all. I use to fix watches for over 15 years and I can tell that this Seiko watch it is by far under-priced for a mechanical watch. The only down size of this particular Seiko mechanism is that it will not wind by hand if you will use the crown, vs all other ETA mechanism that I upper mentioned.. So you will have to either wear it every day, or keep it in the winder. It is perfectly fine with me this "inconvenience", since I do have a winder.. I strongly recommend to anyone out there to buy one winder if you don't have one, and you like to switch your watches by time to time.. All I can tell you is that, DON'T make the same "mistake " like I did myself and buy ANY of these high-in brand names.. It is not worth it, since this Seiko watch it is spot on compared with any of these upper mentioned, unless your life truly "needs" any Rolex type of product, and you need to make anyone aware of that life style kind of level.. I actually went and sold many of my high-in watch collection since I had some amount of money invested that it did not fit my lifestyle anymore.. Believe me, you would not be satisfied after you will see your brand new Rolex, or either Breitling be anywhere near accurate while you already spent over $6700+.. And, don't believe any of the "BS" that these sales people will throw you such as your Rolex "will" go up in value, unless you have a rare piece and maybe a limited edition and/or very old version.. Seiko watches, does the same thing, and matter of fact it is almost similar as far as bezel type with the DayJust Rolex version 36mm vs Seiko 37 mm.. Don't worry about Sapphire Crystal, since you can't make any difference anyway.. I truly believe that this Seiko watches deserve more credit, so take advantage of this lower price for the pretty much "same" mechanical automatic watch, having also an elegant appearance and beautiful set up too.. I recently bought another one in brown dial color.. I also would like to tell anyone interested into a brown color, is that unless you like the brown dial, then do not get it since it is a little hard to read the time.. White color or black it is fine.. On the other hand, if you truly want accuracy, then buy a Casio watch for $19.99, or a Casio Atomic watch for around $85+... Well, enjoy it I guess..

Great value, Greater appearance.
I received my watch yesterday and it is great. Recently, I had been spending an inordinate amount of time researching automatic watches to figure out which one to make my first. During my searchings, I came upon the Seiko 5 series and decided to take a dive into the multitude of variations of this vaunted line with the purpose choosing one of these to be my very own. I had initially leaned toward the SNK809, but wasn't thrilled about the styling. I wanted something that was a little nicer looking, but not a dress watch and definitely not gaudy. When I found this case design with the Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, and a black dial face, I knew this was the one I wanted. I then found one here on Amazon and ordered it. The only thing about the watch that didn't thrill me was the bracelet band. It seemed too flashy to me and they drew attention away from the dial. I ended up ordering the Benchmark 18mm Black Silicone watchband to be the happy medium between the utilitarian canvas style and the dressier leather. Upon receiving the watch, I promptly swapped out the band. The watch is now what I wanted, a nice enough watch for a business setting, but not too nice for everyday wear. As to the accuracy of the movement, I hadn't even set a benchmark until this morning, so I'm not entirely sure. As I wear the watch daily, and get more of a feel for it, I'll update my review.Today is 12/3/18 and have had a few days to get more of a feel for it and to check the accuracy. As to the accuracy, or "function", of the watch, after 5 days, it has gained 25 seconds cumulatively, so it gains 5s per day. As to the look, or"fit", of the watch, I love it. It feels great, it looks great and I just don't want to take it off.

Disappointed
I was really disappointed in that Seiko watch. I now own two watches that I'm disappointed in. In addition I returned one. I like the accuracy of the Seiko. I like the looks of the one that I have now, except for the thickness, and a little heavier than my old one which I have owned for at least 5 years. My real disappointment is in the material that they use so that you can read and dim light, aren't darkness. The two watches I have, one is this new one , and one that I purchased about a year ago, but never wore. I got it out, when this one was not readable in darkness. The one I'd had, although it was supposed to be "florescent", did not read in darkness either. Reading up on materials that Seiko uses to make sure watches readable in darkness, both these watches were probably in stock for some time before I purchased them. I'd recently read on Google, that the material Seiko uses has a half-life of approximately 2 1/2 years. So I think that's exclamation the fact that these do not work in the dark for me. Many years ago I purchased a watch and I think it was a Lumina. Anyhow the hands were tritium gas and I had the watch were long time, and one of my friends but one like it. But they read it tonight as good as any other watch would read during the daytime. I noticed that Lumina still uses tritium for their "fluorescence". I have on this Seiko pass my 30 day return time, are I would return it and look for a Lumina that I can see in the dark.Otherwise, the Seiko is nice-looking watch, it keeps good time, but is useless in the dark.
