Men's 5' Japanese Automatic Stainless Steel Casual Watch, Color: Black dial (Model: SNK617)

I owned guess watch, Skagen, Timex and Kenneth Cole, All of them are Quartz Movement. This is my first time user for automatic watch and I really love it. Adjustment for watchband is quite tricky. You have to google with the word "How to adjust Seiko Watchband" to find out about that. Luckily, I also bought watch repair kit, It is not that hard process at all. Weight of the watch is not that heavy comparing with my 10-years old Guess watch, However, it is a bit heavier comparing with my Skagen. But you can't beat 5x.xx dollars for automatic watch, even if Warehouse price at costco!! Illuminated dial also a good feature, I would not ask for more from this price. (BTW, Price Tag in package is $185.-)

I decided to get a self-winding watch as I had heard that battery-driven watches can affect your health due to their electromagnetism. I have owned several Seiko watches over a lifetime and have yet to actually wear one out. My preferences change before they need replacement. This watch is self-winding, attractive, easy to read, has a date calendar, is waterproof, light and fits well. It does have luminescent markers, although I might them a bit brighter for truly dark conditions. All said, this watch is an incredible product for the money.

Hard to beat Seiko quality - pure value!

This watch reminds me of a Vietnam-era Seiko stainless automatic I had several years ago, and it's a great deal for me just from that standpoint. This is a watch for folks who like "real" watches. It's about the most inexpensive way you can get into a new automatic. It's honestly heavy and clunky, the band catches on everything, and it's hell on the wrist when using a computer keyboard -- and that's all >good< stuff. The clear back is a joy. It doesn't keep as good time as a more expensive automatic or a cheap quartz, for that matter, but that's easily manageable. If I want to-the-second timings, I'll look at the app on my phone. This watch gets me to the office and to the kids' school stuff just fine. I only have one quibble that's not the watches' fault: I would have preferred a more waterproof (suitable for the pool and shower) over water "resistant" (confirmed by checking the codes on the back). Yeah, I'd buy another one. Probably will.

Bought this with great expectations. Sadly, it really sucks. It loses or gains time on a daily basis. I wear it (or I did wear it, I have since replaced it) daily, however, it has completely stopped and I had to reset date. Isn't that all you want in a watch, to keep time and date.

The watch looks great, especially for the price, I took it to a watch shop to have a couple of links removed, and the jeweler commented on it being a nice watch. He had a similar model in his case for about 3 times the price. I like being able to see the time, day and date with just a glance.

This watch is definitely a great purchase. I'm very happy with the way it looks and keeps time. The watch keeps going for quite a while when its not being worn (better than another kinetic watch I own). I agree with another reviewer that the links are a little scratchy when first being worn, but you can barely notice and I'm sure it'll be worn down/smoothed out over time anyway.

I know seiko 5 dosent have the best watch straps or bracalets but i own 4 seiko 5 and this one has the worst one BY FAR ! this is the first time im dissapointed by the brand.

Didn’t like the strap re comfort. The watch was ok, but I returned it, and was given a full refund.

A very good looking watch and excellent value for money

EXELLENT CHOIX

Moet eigenlijk na gekeken worden

Compre este reloj porque me gustó su tamaño ya que es un poquito más pequeño que otros que vi, que me resoltaban muy aparatosso, este tiene el tamaño perfecto, la combinación de negro y rojo en la esfera es lo que más me gustó. y tambien me gusta que te diga la fecha y el día. Por poner un contra, la correa es muy larga y me quedaba grande, me tocó ir al relojero del pueblo a que me quitara un par de estrivas, ahora me queda perfecto.
