Seiko 5 Men's Automatic Watch with Black Dial Analogue Display and Black Fabric Strap SNK809K2

When I opened the box, the first thing that hit me was the size. In the modern day of poorly proportioned, overpriced fashion watches, it was great to see that it fitted perfectly onto my wrist. It is small without looking dainty or feminine. As far as accuracy goes, it isn't the same as a quartz movement, but I don't see why anyone would complain. For an automatic watch at this price point, it is unbeatable. I reckon it could beat a watch over twice its price for accuracy. The sandblasted finish is a godsend- a quick wipe and it is clean (no streaks or permanent marks). The dial is a brilliant colour, and the thickness of the case is excellently proportioned. In addition, the exhibition case back is amazing. Sure, not the most decorated movement out there, but the fact that Seiko included one on a watch of this price point is brilliant. It's not all amazing though. The strap is comes on is slightly stiff and itchy at first, and over time becomes frayed. This isn't an issue, a £5 nato or other strap can easily fix this issue. I find that a tan leather strap looks great, and unlike a nato, doesn't block the case back. The water resistance isn't up to swimming standard, although I don't see why it would be an issue if there was a short-ish dip in the water. It's tough enough to survive everyday life, but don't plan on going diving with it. Overall, a great value watch with some brilliant features. The loom is really helpful, and gives the illusion of the watch being more expensive than it is. Great job Seiko. Change the strap though.

Bought one of these, and I'm really pleased, and not just because the price was jumped way up since...it looks lovely. The quality and build are nice and it looks sleek and smart on the wrist, a real James Bond piece of equipment. It is a little smaller than many men's watches in this age of aggressive overbuilt bezels, but I like it - it will not look as if you have a miniaturised ladies' watch on if you are a male. It also means it won't catch on everything. Hardlex crystal resists scratching. The numbers and arrow aren't luminous, it has 12 pips plus the hands, but this is perfectly adequate and it goes equally well for both office and sports use. It will tolerate showers and swimming but no diving Apparently these are genuine Seikos with a Malaysian rather than Japanese movement - fine, I bought several and none have given me a reason to complain. What negatives I have read about these watches for the greater part appear misguided. It has an aviator dial and hands, to precisely indicate seconds and minutes which tend to be more important than hours if you're piloting a high-performance aircraft! It is an automatic watch that must be worn most days to keep the mainspring wound by a gyro utilising the natural movement of your wrist - they're finely engineered but tend to lose a few seconds a day. Also bear in mind that for a relatively low price, you're getting a very smart and utilitarian watch by a good make - if you want titanium shockproofing and 200m - plus of water resistance, then expect to pay more! Overall a lovely piece of engineering and I'm delighted with mine...

This is an amazing watch. It doesn't concede to the fashion of ridiculously big cases, it's fully waterproof, it keeps time pretty well and the open back is really cool to look at in dull meetings etc. This is a watch with 30m water resistivity. Almost all the information I could find regarding the water resistance categories told me this meant it was strong enough to withhold a splash as I washed my hands or stood in the rain. Forever an optimist, I ignored this advice and have showered every day in this watch, and swam on multiple occasions. I've even worn it when freediving, reaching around 10m underwater which is very different to accidental contact when washing hands. The watch is absolutely fine and has seen no damage due to this, and in addition, it looks really cool underwater for some reason. This is a watch I wear every day and night. I never take it off. Although that may be a bit gross, it does leave me well qualified after a few months of wearing it to say that this is a resilient watch. Although I try not to hit or scratch the face, it has had a few bumps and yet shows no sign of it. The strap gets a lot of hate in these reviews. It is made out to be tatty and some people even say it stretches throughout the day. I must say that although I was unsure about it at first, the strap has grown on me in a far more positive way! I replaced it initially with a rubber clasp band, but found I missed the rugged, 'service watch' feel of the nylon band. And in response to the complains of the strap stretching, I would suggest that it is merely the result of the wearer's wrist changing as they move throughout the day, for i have had no such problems. The accuracy of this watch is exactly what one might expect from an automatic watch. Comparing it to my Apple Watch which is of course accurate 100% of the time, I find the watch looses or gains perhaps a minute or two a week. Some reviewers said that their watch stopped due to their sedatory job and lifestyle. This astounds me that someone could move so little that their watch wouldn't be able to charge itself. But anyway. I would suggest you buy this watch. I almost decided to go for the more expensive option, the bigger and more waterproof seiko (I can't remember the name sorry) due to its 100m resistance. However, I'm happy to say my fears were alayed: this watch is as waterproof as I need at least. (Maybe not if you're a scuba diver?)

Relogio é lindo, só menor do que esperávamos.

Ho aspettato qualche mese prima di recensirlo per poter giudicare meglio. Premettendo che non son un esperto, circa quattro mesi fa, ho deciso di comprarmi un orologio automatico. Ho optato per questo modello di Seiko e devo dire che mi ritengo pienamente soddisfatto. Esteticamente è molto piacevole. Il quadrante è relativamente piccolo per un orologio da uomo (38 mm) di conseguenza la cassa è molto leggera. Non ci si accorge neanche di averlo al polso. Il cinturino in tessuto è davvero comodo, non fa sudare come i cinturini in pelle e non causa l'effetto depilazione come quelli in metallo. Il vetro in hardlex è davvero molto resistente considerato che lo porto praticamente sempre. Idem per la cassa che non presenta nemmeno un graffio dopo mesi di utilizzo intensivo. Se proprio devo trovagli un difetto, il meccanismo automatico non è dei più precisi e di tanto in tanto perde qualche minuto, La corona non è nella posizione più comoda e per modificare data ed ora bisogna togliere l'orologio dal polso. Detto questo direi che l'SNK809K2 è di sicuro il miglior automatico entry level che si possa comprare sui 100 euro.

Ich hab mir die Uhr vor etwa 6 Wochen über Amazon gekauft. Zu dem Preis ist es eine echt klasse Uhr. Vorher hatte ich nur Quarz Uhren, das ist meine erste Automatik. Daher war ich ganz erstaunt, dass der Sekundenzeiger 3 Bewegungen pro Sekunde macht, es ist also im Gegensatz zur Quarz eine "fließende" Bewegung. Auch das Ticken der Uhr hört sich dementsprechend an. Ist aber nur zu hören, wenn sie nah ans Ohr gehalten wird. Auf der Rückseite hat sie einen Glasboden, der einen Blick in das interessante Werk zulässt. Man kann die Schwungmasse sehen und darunter die Unruh des Werkes. Zu Beginn hatte sie einen Nachlauf von ca 20 Sekunden am Tag. Ich bin damit zum örtlichen Uhrmacher, der sie für 5 Euro reguliert hat. Jetzt läuft Sie 1-2 Sekunden vor am Tag. Nach Internetrecherche ist das für Automatikuhren ein absoluter Spitzenwert. Das Ziffernblatt gefällt mir sehr gut und die Uhr kann man zum Anzug tragen oder einfach in der Freizeit. Das Armband ist leicht zu wechseln. Es ist ein Automatikwerk Kaliber 7S26 verbaut, was in diversen Foren als AK47- oder Traktorwerk wegen seiner Robustheit bekannt ist. Ich hatte erst Bedenken, dass die Uhr wegen dem Synthetikband billig wirken könnte, da ich sonst immer Uhren mit Metallbändern hatte. Aber dieses Band hat einen sehr angenehmen Tragekomfort und passt einfach gut mit der Uhr zusammen. Der Rand fasert etwas aus, daher musste ich dort kurz mit einem Feuerzeug langgehen, jetzt ist es in Ordnung. Zur Gangreserve kann ich nichts sagen, da ich diese Uhr seit dem Kauf noch nicht wieder abgelegt habe. Sie ist wird wohl mein neuer Daily Rocker bleiben. Die Zeiger und die Stundenpunkte auf dem Ziffernblatt leuchten auch im Dunkeln ganz gut. Im Internet liest man sehr viel Lob darüber, aber ich kann hierbei keinen Unterschied zu den Leuchteigenschaften meiner alten Festina Uhr feststellen. Bin aber hiervor auch nicht enttäuscht. Bisher hat sie auch noch keinen Kratzer, was hoffentlich noch eine Zeit so bleibt. Klar, es ist keine Schweizeruhr, aber ich find sie spitze und als nächstes werd ich mir noch ein Diver Modell mit Lünette von Seiko mit Kautschukarmband anschaffen :-) Nachtrag / Update 06.08.2014 Es gibt wenige Produkte von denen ich echt überzeugt bin. Diese Uhr ist eine davon. 1. Sie hat in mir eine Sammelleidenschaft für automatische Uhren entwickelt 2. Auch wenn sie die einfachste und günstigste in meiner Sammlung ist, ist es meine liebste geworden 3. Unkaputtbar. Nach regelmäßigem Tragen nach zwei Jahren sieht sie insgesamt noch neuwertig aus. Das hat noch keine Uhr bei mir geschafft. 4. Radfahren, Schwimmen, Hitze und Kälte. All das hat ihr nix ausgemacht. 5. Sie passt prima unter Hemden zum Anzug und lässt sich genau so gut in der Freizeit tragen. 6. Hab sie auch in Farbe Sand bestellt :-)

今まではクオーツの使用のみでしたが、手巻きか機械式の時計がほしいと思い検討していたところ、とあるショップで一目惚れし価格が安かったためアマゾンにて購入しました。 購入してよかった点は、まずリーズナブルな価格帯であること。機械式ということで値段がクオーツに比べて高いため、本腰を入れて品定めする気になれずにいましたが、定番としてあること、お試しに使ってみて合わなくても軽傷で済むことが決め手になりました。名のしれたブランドでこの価格帯では破格だと思います。加えてシースルバックなので見ているだけでワクワクします。 次にコーディネイトしやすい点です。仕事ではスーツを着ますが、ブラックのベルトを選んだためカジュアルになりすぎませんし、私服でもメタルバンドのようにギラつくわけではなくベゼルのマットな感じがシャツでもTシャツでも相性がいいように感じました。特に私服に軍モノを取り入れることが多いため、ミリタリーウォッチとしての風貌に惹かれました。 機械式は使わなければ止まってしまうため、クオーツのようにいつ見ても現在時刻を表示してくれるわけではありませんが、新しい時計がほしいと思っている人、ひと手間が好きな人（男性の凝り性と言うのでしょうか）、機械式に挑戦したいと思っている人の後押しになれば幸いです。

Superbe montre automatique pour le prix. Finition irréprochable et semble bien tenir l'heure (+4s/jour). Bracelet d'origine OK mais changé par un bracelet en NATO plus sexy. Amateurs de grandes montres ou gros poignets, passez votre chemin, elle est vraiment petite (mais parfaite comme montre pour activités extérieures/sport, moins de risques de rester accroché/de la cogner). J'ai plusieurs autres montres haut de gamme mais cette petite Seiko (et sa grande sœur que j'ai acheté aussi) m'accompagnera en vacances! Très content de mon achat. Envoi rapide et packaging irréprochable.
