Yes there are better watches for less money but I wanted to have a Seiko on the wrist for a change. Very comfortable and love the orange colour. Wear it everyday and hope to wear it for years to come.
It’s a Seiko 5 with a beautiful orange dial, what’s not to like. It’s a stunner.. The strap was easy to adjust and it fits perfectly. It wears very well, very comfortable. As for accuracy it’s incredible.. I’ve had it 4 weeks and it’s only moved within a couple of seconds over that entire period. Overall it’s a wonderful purchase…5 stars all round..
Face of the watch and case just look so stylish, love that it is an Automatic movement. I got this style as I could not afford a real Rolex Yachtmaster so I am now already up 21k.
Really disappointed that both the original Seiko proved faulty as did the replacement. Both stopped in the 6 hours between taking it off before going to bed, and putting it back on waking up. Subsequently returned both for a refund.
A nice watch but a bit too chunky for a small wrist like mine. It just goes to show that you need to go to a dedicated shop for something like this. Nothing wrong with the watch just didn’t like it.
A revamp of the adored skx.
Quality has slipped somewhat (bracelet feels cheap).
RRP of 280 is absolutely way off what its worth(i paid 195) which in my opinion about right.
Overall a decent watch if can get it sub 200 and worth purchasing but not as good as the old sKX.
Really good watch. Great dial and a decent powere reserve. Though the bracelet isn’t the best quality, it feels very comfortable and there is no hair pulling. Definitely a watch I recommend.
Fab watch I always buy seiko if I can ,it’s quite heavy on your arm ,looks great Orange is my favorite colour it’s like a bit of Summer on your arm,I wouldn’t recommend wearing it except for going out it’s bulky I’ve come close to damaging it a couple of times on surfaces,be careful with i
Watch stopped working after one week. Ordered replacement which arrived broken, links missing from bracelet & clearly had been worn/used.
Since ordered same watch from Watchnation (via amazon) and I’m delighted. Better packaging and protective film over Watch face, case & bracelet. The lack of these on the 1st two sent by Amazon should’ve been a red flag.
Great watch, choose your supplier carefully.
A bit larger and heavier than my Omega Speedster Mk2, and that is a substantial watch.
I like the mesh strap. I have no idea how good the waterproofing is. I usually remove my watches before doing dishes, having a bath or shower. At 70 I don’t expect to dive deeper than 100 metres again in my life.
My only very slight gripe is you really have to pay attention to the clasp. If you haven’t checked it’s locked, it can come adrift later. I do prefer the fold over and click type that I have on my smaller white faced Seiko Sea Urchin.
There is a blue faced version of the same watch at nearly 70 more than I paid for this. (What’s with the pricing guys?) I would have bought but definitely not disappointed with this.
This watch is very good quality especially for the price of the watch i was quite shocked to be completely honest. I unfortunately returned the watch due to me not liking the colour of the one I purchased however have since purchased the same watch but a different colour. The watch is very easy to read for me and doesn’t feel uncomfortable on my wrist. If your after a watch that is stylish, modern and sturdy then I would definitely recommend this watch.
Just received my Seiko 5 sports on a Nato strap. So far I’m very impressed. I have collected watches on and off for the last decade and am lucky to own some rare and higher end pieces. I wanted a good, reliable daily wear watch and, once again, chose Seiko.
The watch is what you would expect from Seiko….I don’t think there is a better brand for watches at this price point. Its well made, finished and as a bonus has the exhibition case back.
You can’t use it for diving but it’s 100m waterproof and to be honest…when is the last time most of us went below 3m in a pool?
Superb watch and highly recommended.
Have only had it a week but so far, very happy. Chose this model to have the fabric strap as silastic and metal now causing allergic reactions on my wrist. Dial very clear, can be read at night, date and day function also very clear. Seems more accurate than my very expensive self wind Swiss watch that is advertised as the official timer at all the Grand Prix’s. I have not taken it off when I shower so seems water resistant and I plan to wear it for water sports such as swimming and sailing. So far so good, I would highly recommend this watch at this price.
Post-script , a week after writing this review the watch just stopped! I am returning it to Amazo
Quite hard to review. I personally like this new line of skx replacements; I’ve got the blue srpd71 and this orange one. This orange dial is a slightly lighter tangerine colour than say a doxa orange, and the sunburst effect is very strong – I really like the whole look and case design. The bezel is a bit sloppier than my 71 and doesn’t line up with 12 o’clock exactly, which my 71 does. So some quality control issues to bear in mind now with these entry level seikos, in addition to the slowly declining quality of the bracelets. I’ve got this on a black and orange nato and it looks great.
I’ve had numerous watches over the years and I’m usually a smartwatch guy but for a while I’ve looked at ‘proper’ watches. So after weeks and months of research I ended up looking at Seiko.
This relatively new Seiko 5 line is just absolutely spot on. There are quite a few variations of this watch but I was drawn to the blue dial and as a lover of Nato watch straps, this version was the one for me.
I’ve got quite large wrists (around 7.5 inches) so this watch looks less bulky on me than it does in just about every photo I’ve seen on other people’s wrists.
The RRP is absolutely reasonable for what you get and the price on Amazon Warehouse that I paid was around 142 (used/new and it’s absolutely brand new). I’d happily have paid the current 169 and actually even the full price based on having the watch in hand.
Looks really classy, feels expensive, the luminous markings are really impressive and on top of it all, it’s a bit special being an Automatic watch which is something I’ve never had and I know it doesn’t keep time as well as a Quartz battery powered watch but that’s kind of missing the point. Love it.
I had been looking at taking a step up to a good quality automatic watch for some time and after reading several reviews the Seiko 5 range ticked all the boxes for both form and function. A good quality movement and build quality but at a budget that could be considered very reasonable for what you get and I have not been disappointed. It has kept perfect time after nearly two weeks use and the NATO strap is wonderful for someone with hairy arms such as myself. I would happily buy another but as this one is so good why would I?
It is worth noting that the watch comes with a dual language date function, I think mine may be in English and Italian. This has it display two variations for each day of the week, one in English, one in Italian, and then again. What you have to do is set it to your chosen language and then at midnight it moves forward one (to the next language) and then at 1am it moves forward one more to the correct language. It got me worried initially thinking I had been sent a watch intended for another region.
Put mine on a Jubilee bracelet and it looks and wears great. Chapter ring alignment on mine is pretty good.
I have no problem with these not being true dive watches. If anything it’s nice not to have to unscrew the crown every time I want to adjust the watch or give it a little wind. I’m not a diver so thats not an issue, 100M is plenty for me! Theres plenty of true Seiko divers out there if you want one, such as the Prospex series.
