Seiko SNXS79J1 Seiko 5 Watch. Review: Best Quality for Money in the Affordable Market - I own a Orient Mako 1, an Orient Ray 2, several other watches including a Tissot Le Locle, and now this SNXS79J1. Seiko seems to be making moves, discontinuing beloved watch lines in the affordable range and reintroducing equivalent but less desirable watches at higher price points. The SNXS79J1 is one of the last Seiko 5's "Made in Japan". The other models that do not have this label are made in Malaysia (of similar or equal quality, but as a collector the "Made in Japan" has a certain value. The watch itself is gorgeous. The Lume is excellent as you can see by the pictures. The size is small, so if you're looking for something with large wrist presence, look elsewhere. For me, I wanted a watch similar to a Rolex Datejust or Explorer. This scratched that itch at an affordable price point, all without being a direct "Copy" of those models. It's a Seiko.. It just works. Also - you may want to ditch the bracelet. Its hollow and tin feeling and wobbles and rattles. Some people complain about this, but at the pricepoint it seems all of the "budget" went into the watch itself, not the bracelet. For me, that's where I want the money to be on an affordable watch anyway. If upgrading the bracelet, the lug size is an awkward 19mm. 19mm bracelets/straps are less common, so keep that in mind. I bought this as an every day watch. It can be dressy, it can be sporty. The Lumed hands and markers make it easy to read in any environment. The dial's reflective dark grey sunburst finish is stunning. Hopefully Seiko keeps making watches of this value for money well into the future (but seemingly they are transitioning away from that, so act fast!). Edit 2024: Watch still works great. I've sourced a jubilee bracelet and matching endlinks in 19mm from AliExpress (like $20). Bracelet and endlinks interchanged well, but i needed to use the aliexpress springbars in leiu of the OEM ones as the OEM ones wouldn't fit the new endlinks. One thing to note about this watch - It sits "High" on your wrist and it's something not a lot of people talk about enough. This gives it a "UFO" like profile when viewed from the side. Very top heavy. This is in large degree due to the somewhat thick glass caseback. Since I don't really care about looking at the movement, I purchased a much thinner, and low profile caseback of older seiko 5 models off of ebay and swapped it in. It reduced the side profile significantly and made this watch much nicer to wear and to look at. I recommend this - usually the casebacks are really cheap. Review: The Perfect Watch - This is hands down the best watch for the money. I own a Tissot PRX and an automatic Citizen that cost more, yet I find myself wearing this Seiko 90% of the time. Some might say it’s just the “new watch phase,” but after over a year, I still can’t get enough of it. The size is perfect, the applied logo looks amazing, the dial is stunning, and it goes with literally any outfit. I did swap out the band (mainly sticking with the metal one in the pictures I provided) to enhance the look and feel, but even without that change, the watch itself is perfect. ## Features - Seiko Series 5 Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch SNXS79J1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001EQXFU6 | | Additional Features | Water Resistant | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Band Color | Silver-tone | | Band Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Band Width | 20 millimeters | | Bands | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #278,857 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #999 in Men's Wrist Watches | | Brand Name | SEIKO | | Case Diameter | 38 millimeters | | Case Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Case Thickness | 10 millimeters | | Clasp Type | Foldover Clasp | | Clasp type | Foldover Clasp | | Closure Type | Buckle | | Crystal | Mineral Crystal | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 218 Reviews | | Dial Color | Black | | Display | Analog | | Embellishment Feature | Crystal | | Face Style | Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04900969843426 | | Included Components | Watch Box or Case | | Item Weight | 150 g | | Item width | 5.91 inches | | Manufacturer | Seiko | | Manufacturer Part Number | SNXS79J1 | | Model Name | Series 5 | | Model Number | SNXS79K1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pattern | Solid | | Power Source | Mechanical (self-winding) | | Series Number | 5 | | Shape | Casual | | Sport Type | Walking | | Strap Type | Bracelet | | Style Name | Modern | | Theme | Sports | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Watch Movement Type | Automatic | | Water Resistance Depth | 30 meters | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Images ![Series 5 Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch SNXS79J1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fkUuO9znL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this k1 or j1 version. Picture is for k1** A: Dear Sir,This listing is for SNXS79J. The picture was put by Amazon and is incorrect. We will inform Amazon to get it changed.B RgdsTime4u **Q: Is the band easily adjustable** A: Since it’s a bracelet, you’ll have to remove links to adjust. Pretty simple if you have a tool to remove the pins. The timepiece itself is absolutely beautiful, but the bracelet is a bit cheap feeling.. I’d recommend changing the bracelet/strap. **Q: Does it come with arabic dates? I’d need it with english dates.** A: It has English day and dates **Q: What band size should I get for this 18, 20, or 22mm?** A: The lug width is actually 19mm. This makes it a bit harder to find straps, but different companies make leather, NATO, etc. straps in this width. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Quality for Money in the Affordable Market *by C***Y on October 26, 2020* I own a Orient Mako 1, an Orient Ray 2, several other watches including a Tissot Le Locle, and now this SNXS79J1.

I own a Tissot PRX and an automatic Citizen that cost more, yet I find myself wearing this Seiko 90% of the time. Some might say it’s just the “new watch phase,” but after over a year, I still can’t get enough of it. The size is perfect, the applied logo looks amazing, the dial is stunning, and it goes with literally any outfit. I did swap out the band (mainly sticking with the metal one in the pictures I provided) to enhance the look and feel, but even without that change, the watch itself is perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really nice looking watch at an affordable price *by M***. on November 13, 2018* This is a nice small-sized automatic watch with a beautiful sunburst gray dial and lume-filled applied indices. A lot of people say this is a great affordable alternative to a Rolex Datejust, but I think it also has a Tudor Black Bay 36 feel. The Tudor is an everyday watch with a dive watch dial but no rotating bezel. The dial and hands on this Seiko 5 are similar to the very first dive watch made by Seiko (the 62MAS), and the dial is similar to the modern interpretation of the 62MAS, the SBDC051. The biggest downside of this watch is the cheap bracelet, but that is common to nearly all Seiko 5's. I suggest replacing the stock bracelet with a nice leather strap. Overall, a great looking watch for the money! I purchased the watch from MOON-DOG Japan, who is an excellent seller with great customer service! ## Frequently Bought Together - SEIKO Series 5 Automatic Black Dial Men's Watch SNXS79J1 - TOMIYOY 18mm 19mm 20mm jubilee stainless steel metal watch band strap bracelet,solid 316L Watch band fit for rlx skx watch - Watch Band Strap Link Pins Remover Repair Tool,24 in 1 Kit with 6 Extra Tips Replacement,20PCS Cotter Pin,Spring Bar Tool Set,1PCS Head Hammer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/27377856-series-5-automatic-black-dial-mens-watch-snxs79j1](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/27377856-series-5-automatic-black-dial-mens-watch-snxs79j1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
