Seiko Men's SNKL79 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch

Nice watch and if you do the winding it self winds just fine. For those of you that don't know when it says Mechanical and Automatic you should start by winding the watch 30 or 40 times(Back and Forth) and it will get enough to keep it running indefinitely. I wound mine when I got it and have not had any problems taking it off at night and putting it on in the morning for months. Exhalant Watch and good looking and at a good price.

(Note: see updates at the end of this review. The warranty is GTG). This is a genuine Seiko 5 but it is a gray market good! SEIKO WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY - but for $60 who cares? Also, this watch is NOT WATERPROOF to 99 feet as advertised. It can handle getting wet (washing hands, rain) but that's it. Do not wear this watch into the shower, the steam will defeat the seals. Absolutely gorgeous watch. The dial is not as striking as in the photo from most angles but is still very handsome. I'm happy with my purchase. Update 4/22/15: Seiko has informed that Amazon IS an authorized retailer, even though the warranty card that came with my watch is blank. They told me to include my Amazon invoice as proof of purchase when requesting service under warranty. I will mail my watch in for repair in the next few weeks and see what happens. Update 11/5/15: I stand corrected. Seiko repaired my cracked crystal under warranty. Total cost $49.16.

It’s beautiful

Purchased, but sent back. The shade of blue in the picture is highlighted and contrast with gold hour,second, and face. However the blue is actually much darker, and not easily seen from a distance. Since I didn't keep the watch for that reason alone, I can speak to the overall quality of the watch.

I use this watch everyday. Its durability and quality are way better than the ones you buy elsewhere. I love the size of the watch. Keeps perfect time and shows the date and day. It is a great value for the price.

Automatic Seiko watch for 60 bucks! Looks classic, keeps good time. Although the dial is smaller than usual like other Seiko 5 watches. But a very reliable and long lasting watch.

Looks elegant. Very good for gifting. I bought it to gift my dad. This is a very nice watch. It is a perfect size dial for men. Performance related, I will post another review after sometime.

seiko 5's are great. i bought this one with the knowledge that it was going to get a different band right away, so i won't be reviewing the band. right out of the box it looks better than the photo you see here (i will be posting a couple pics with the band i chose) because the gold trim isn't as gold as it looks in the pic. the lume is very good and the way the hands and markers catch the light makes this watch super readable in low light situations. the face of the watch couldn't be better. great detail work, as always, by seiko. the case is just the right size for my wrist. after a tried a couple leather bands, i dug out a modena 20mm rubber diver strap and squeezed it on (this watch actually calls for a 18mm) and for some reason i just loved the way it looked...and felt. after that i pulled off the case back and popped out the crown and lubed the seals (probably voided the warranty so beware!!)...and then i spent a few days regulating it and the results were pretty great. i put up a pic about that, too. hope i helped.
