With little wear (this watch isn't even my daily) the minute hand has broke. It no longer turns at all, even when trying to change the time. Also the small white dots next to the numbers have started falling off. Some sticking to the glass and some randomly sticking to other places on the dial. Cheap watch but I thought with Seiko it would at least last a little while.

Light and easy to read.

Loved the looks of this watch. My husband has smaller wrists, so this fir perfect for everyday wear, and even with a suit. But it never heard time correctly, always 3-4 minutes slow within a day of being set. And then just last month stopped working entirely. Will never buy Seiko again

Great work watch. It takes a beating but still pleases him. This is his third in 20 years, so not sure how that speaks to its longevity but he is hard on watches!

I love this as my daily wear. Very nice, simple, but better than all the micro brands I paid much more for.

I really enjoy this watch it is now part of my rotation. I have own this watch for over 1 year now and its still going strong. This will always be my baby since it was my first mechanical watch!!

A very simple no bells and whistles watch, rough and refined at the same time and the price is right.

I've had this watch (in blue) for about 9 years now. I don't wear it every day but, unlike my more expensive automatic watches, this one has never needed service. It's a beast.

A bit small to be wore on the outer wrist for me, but this watch is phenomenal! Comfortable, the looks of it is just CLASSY. Satisfied with this watch, thanks!

Es un reloj atractivo y bien bien construido que da mucho valor por su precio.

Nice watch. Too small for me, I gave it to my 13 year old stepson. It's probably the best first automatic watch for a kid.

I bought this watch as a gift for my boyfriend. He love it however like 2 months after I have it to him, it stopped working. I got in touch with Seiko and sent the watch to NJ. It was fixed and works perfect now.

Daily wear

A friend who has a Rollex told me a trick his watch shop told him: mechanical watches run differently according to position. My particular example runs fast on the outside of my (right) wrist, slow on the inside. At night it runs fast on it's back, slow on it's 8 o'clock edge. Knowing this, I'm able to keep it running perfectly in time with the clock on my phone, within about 3 seconds, and I haven't reset it in weeks. It took a couple of weeks to stabilize--at first it was running quite a bit slow, but I guess the works got polished up and lubed by running, and now it's quite good.Though this watch doesn't have a hack feature, you can stop it by putting a slight backwards pressure on the stem while setting that serves the same purpose. Mine hasn't run down, so I can't say how long it will run on its own. Overnight is definitely not a problem. Again, it takes a while for the mainspring to get fully wound; don't count on it running overnight for the first few days, but after that it should be fine.

It is disappointing that the luminosity of the hands etc. does not last the night. Otherwise the watch works fine.

Since the primary purpose of this watch is to tell time, it's rather disappointing that I have to move it forward every few days to avoid being late for everything. Otherwise, it seems well-constructed.

This Seiko 5 (SNK809) is probably the best bang-for-your-buck out there when it comes to a mechanical movement.I was initially very skeptical of purchasing a mechanical watch for such a low price. This erroneous conclusion of mine was calculated through the idea that an intricate automatic movement could, under no circumstance, be achieved without high cost.Now, there is truth to that in many ways, but it just doesn't apply for Seiko. At least, not to my particular Seiko 5.There's much to speak of regarding the watch, but I'll not the basics:- You MUST replace the strap it comes with to bring the watch to life.- Keeps reasonable time (if worn often.)- Exhibition caseback is rewarding.- Day/date is perfectly legible, but is still able to remain out of the spotlight.- It is a TRUE in-house movement. Come on!It's an automatic movement for a super attainable price. Seiko, Seiko. What a great job you've done!

Cmo siempre seiko es de lo mejor.
