Q: Does "automatic" mean self-winding?

Automatic absolutely does mean, “self winding”. There’s no battery and no capacitor, as someone else claimed. As long as you wear the watch at least 10 hours a day then you should never have to hand wind it. Moving your arm throughout the day causes a rotor inside the watch to turn, which winds the watch and will not allow the watch to be overwound by the rotor. Once the main spring is fully wound, it provides anywhere from 40 to 120 hours of reserve spring power (depending on the brand/model), allowing you to place the watch on your nightstand while you sleep or even put it in a drawer over the weekend, and the watch will keep running until you put it back on again. If the watch is stationary for too long and all the energy from the main spring has run out, then put about 5 full turns on the crown, reset the date and time, put the watch on and you’re good to go. The self winding rotor will finish winding the watch for you and keep it wound indefinitely as long as you wear the watch at least 10 hours a day.

Q: How do I stop the second hand to set the exact second? I pull the crown out to the second position, but the 2nd hand doesn't stop.

Absolutely do NOT put your watch on a magnet. You will magnetize your movement, and kill your accuracy. The 7S26 movement is non hacking, so you cannot stop the seconds hand for precise time setting. Look for something with a 4R35 or 4R36 movement if you want to set precise time.

Q: whats the strap width? the page description says 17mm but i cant find one in that size :/

Lug-to-lug width for SNKL43: 18-mm. Measured it two days ago to order a NATO-style watch strap.

Q: Wore my new watch for twelve hours, took it off for twelve hours and it stopped. Is this normal??

To me that is not normal. Sincethis movementis supposed to have an power reserve of 41 hours when fully wound spring. Eighter you are not moving your arm much or the watch is defective. I used mine black model now for about 2 weeks and it never stopped. I wore it now not for about 19 hours and it still runs. Keep in mind that the rotor on the back only turns at an steep 90 degree angle. The self winding weight will not turn on an shallow angle - so it winds only confidently with some wrist up and down movement. Otherwise this is the best watch ever for me. I ordered 2 when the

Description

SEIKO 5 - the meaning of the 5 A great marketer had the idea in the 70ies: to be a SEIKO 5, the watch has to have the following 5 (five) attributes (thus the name SEIKO 5): 1. Automatic, 2. Water resistant, 3. Shock resistant, 4. Date, 5. Day. Please note that some SEIKO 5s are in fact SEIKO 4s, if the Day function is omitted, then the Caliber 7S25 is used. The only difference to the normally found 7S26 is the omission of the day wheel. Also re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber. Again the 7S36 is similar to the most popular 7S26, yet it features 23 Jewels as opposed to the 21 Jewels in the 7S26. Please note that all these movements beat at a rate of 21600 bph (beats per hour) or 6 bps (beats per second). As a comparison, an ETA 2824-2 beats at 28800 bph or 8 bps. A Miyota 82xx beats at 21600 bph. Why do I mention these three movements? Because they are found in probably 80% of all inexpensive automatic wrist watches. A market share that is huge, yet challenged these days (2006) by an increasing share of inexpensive China Made automatic movements An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch, typically with a balance wheel escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearers arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity, a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time.

Excellent time keeper

The band was remarkably long. Had to make adjustment on its length. Also it was claimed in the watch dezcriotion yhat the watch is supposed to be 100 metrers water resist, but when i checjed the back of the watch i found only water resist is written there. There was no mention about the deoth of water upto which the watch is water resists. Otherwise it is indeed a very good watch. I have never had any watch of this price and quality. I found that if i ware the watch for one complete day, thevwatch maitains its time perfectly for next 24 hours, when it was kept iside the closet. Definitely a very efficient real mechanically automatic watch.

Counterfeit Product

If you think the 50+ percent off is appealing, step away. This product is not an original Seiko and is a counterfeit one. Don't buy it and don't encourage selling/buying of fake watches.
