Nice review! I own the silver one which I consider the perfect, economical dress watch solution for people who rarely dress up. It also makes a perfect daily wearer if you don’t mind the meager water resistance and scratching the polished case. They are still widely available at reasonable prices in Europe. One of the best Seiko 5 IMO.

Great review! Same happen to me with my Seiko snk381k1, first mechanical automatic watch and first watch with a display caseback. I'm not quite fond of it, I think it' s because of the vintage style hands, but the movement's great (mine's accuracy is about 4sec a week) and the bracelet you've added makes it amazing.

This was a good honest review. I own more expensive watches such as Rolex and Tudor but I also enjoy and wear less expensive brands. It is not about how much you pay that makes a good watch, it is about how it feels for you. I have been looking at this watch for a while and thinking about either yours or the silver one. So time to make a decision! I wish you well in growing your channel and having just subscribed I look forward to future videos.

Great review. I've had mine for over a year now and it still gets wrist time alongside watches that cost over 5x as much. One of the major complaints is the thick case back, which makes the watch protrude from the wrist unnecessarily. If you can find a used, slim 7S26 case back without a window it should fit the SNXS79 and help the lugs to hug the wrist better. I did this mod and it makes the watch fit and feel better.

@@TheDing11 the SNK393 case, assuming it's the same as the SNK357, is definitely the best Seiko 5 case shape. If you can get one of those cases then the caseback swap is not needed.

I love this watch! I paid only £60 a few years ago , before it blew up on KZread. I have it to my friend when I managed to find a new SARB033. The two watches are similar, I have the seiko 5 away.

The watch dial is beautiful but what puts me off is the watch movement which is non-hacking and non-handwinding. Coming from an engineering field, I feel that accuracy in terms of time precision is very important to me. I tend to like setting the watch's accuracy based on atomic time. However, if you ignore all other factors and you are in the market for your first automatic watch with a low budget, I wouldn't think twice. Thank you for the review. Looking forward to the next one.

I have the SNK357 which has the old 5-pattern printed into the dial, but in a subtle blue, and I swapped the bracelet with a jubilee style one from Uncle Seiko (which included end-links!), and I have to say: I love it. After all was said and done, I spent about $190 for the watch and bracelet, but I have no regrets (it also came with a free nato strap for me). It feels like a great Rolex alternative, especially with that new bracelet, but also has an identity all its own, and that 5-pattern makes it feel like the 5iest Seiko 5 haha. It's alao cheap enough that I'd love to modify it eventually, maybe add sapphire crystal or upgrade the movement if at all possible. The beauty is that the watch is cheap enough to make tinkering with it fun and viable.

This one is for sure the gateway watch. I had a similar Seiko 5 for $75.

Is it 19 mm for the bracelet? I got this watch for my husband but he says its too small. I am keeping it for myself 😂 UPDATE: I swapped the bracelet with the Oyster style from your link, it was a pain to install and now my watch has some small scratches from the installation. I'd say it took about 20 mins to install. It does upgrade the look however. I kept the original Seiko clasps.

It's the accuracy of the watch. E.g. If your watch is running at +5 seconds per day, this means that each day, your watch is gaining 5 seconds. Basically not as accurate as the clock in your phone. Because after all, it's a mechanical movement. But for really good accurate watch, it'll be quartz movements.
