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.

Not only does it not keep time anywhere near as well as a quartz watch, it does not keep running overnight while you sleep, so you need to reset it every morning when you get up, And I live a very active lifestyle, so it's not for lack of self – winding capability. Extremely bad watch.

I have a lot of high-end watches. This is one of my favorite every day watches that goes with everything and is a throwaway watch at the price. Not worried about damaging it. It is absolutely well worth the price point.

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.

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.
