Automatic Watch for Men 5-7S Collection

Bottom line up front: the SNXS79 is a great watch. Although the price has gone up the past year or two it is still a bargain. Pros: an absolute looker of a watch in a perfect size (37mm) for smaller wrists. The gray sunburst dial is the star of the show here. Luxury watches costing thousands more would struggle to match this dial execution! Excellent lume for this or any price point really. The day/date complication is useful. The Cal 7S26 movement is a fully inhouse, workhorse movement that will run for decades without service and is relatively simple to adjust/regulate. A proper mechanical watch from Seiko - one of the biggest names in watches. Can be a dress watch or an everyday watch. Cons: Stock bracelet is poor. The 19mm lug width can be a challenge to find aftermarket straps and bracelets for - but they do exists. In a pinch, a 20mm leather strap will fit (see pic). The crown is small and can be a challenge to manipulate. No hacking or hand-winding. The Cal 7S26 movement's accuracy can be spotty...or can be spot on. Mine is running +3 spd, although individual results may vary.

Started a small watch collection during the pandemic, some fancy expensive ones, some not. This happens to be one of my favorites. Yes, the band is sub par, but in every other way this watch exceeds expectations. The dial is stunning in a charcoal black with the appearance changing in the light a bit which makes it all the more elegant. The applied markers and hands have excellent luminescence. The work horse Miota movement has kept excellent time (within 12 seconds a day for the past few days). I’m a fan of the 38mm size - I have a small wrist so that’s my grail size- and at 12mm thickness this fits under a cuff easily. I now own this and the silver dial version and they sit next to my higher end Swiss watches with equal elegance. If you’re on the fence, get it. This is a fantastic value for anyone looking to add to their collection or as an entry point to starting one, as it’s an EDC watch that is both work horse and looks the part. For an automatic movement under $200 you cannot go wrong!

I bought this watch in February because I was looking to try an automatic. I've been using Citizen Eco-Drive watches exclusively the past decade. Although my Citizen watches are great and haven't required batteries nor maintenance, I had the desire to give Seiko a try. My father has been a Seiko fan for his entire life and wears a Kinetic everyday. This is hands down one of my most pleasing purchases from Amazon. I am 100% completely satisfied with this watch. It tells great time. I usually check it against time.gov every two weeks or so and sometimes I don't even have to change it! Even when I have to change it, it has never been less or more than two minutes. The day/date are INCREDIBLY easy to read. It has the appearance that they are completely flat against the dial. Compared to my Citizen's, they are more recessed in the dial which creates a shadow/darkened appearance that makes the day/date harder to read. The hands/markers are easy to read. One thing I love about the hour markers is that the 6,9, and 12 o' clock positions are larger than the others, which makes telling time easy. The bracelet is wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the brushed steel appearance and feel. Much better than polished steel. It was also easy to adjust. The see-through caseback is a cool feature and I sometimes can't stop looking at it! The only con I would say, which probably isn't a big deal for a lot of people is the second hand. It is narrow and sometimes difficult to see against the dial when setting the time. The booklet says to pull out the crown when the second hand is at 00 position. As you can tell, this can create a problem when it is difficult to see the second hand. This wasn't something I originally cared about since I rarely have use for the second hand. Overall, great purchase and well worth the money. I will definitely buy another automatic watch and definitely another seiko. Great watch. :)

I was surprised how small it looked out of the box. I knew it was 37mm but the review pictures make it seem larger than what it is. Nevertheless, this watch looks high quality. The bracelet is lightweight and looks fine but it feels pretty cheap. I tried this watch on a Nato strap but eventually got an inexpensive mesh bracelet for it. The reserve doesn't last very long for me but I guess that is because i don't wear long enough to fully wind the hairspring. It has the older seiko movement so it doesn't hand wind and does not have the hacking feature. I don't really care for the "5" logo on dial either. Overall this is a good, inexpensive starter automatic watch to have in your collection I added some pics of this watch on an inexpensive oyster style bracelet which I think also looks much better than the bracelet included with this watch. I swapped the bracelet clasp onto this other bracelet

The 5 stars is for the watch itself, the case dial and movement, the bracelet do not have the same quality feel as the watch, 3 stars for the bracelet, but for me it is a minor inconvenience, it can be replaced With a leather strap. This is a very good looking classical watch, black dial with white stick index markers, and the brightly polished case has a classical shape. With a leather strap, it will make a good dress watch. The printing on the dial, and on the figures and letters and the day/date is flawless, and give it a appearance of quality that rivals more expensive brands. To my surprise, this caliber, 7S26, do not need winding with the crown, the instruction manual tell you to move the watch in a horizontal arc for 30 seconds, thats it. Its power reserve make it through a 8 hour sleep fine, it still runs after being still on the nightstand for 8-10 hours. The lume on the hands and index markers is clearly visible in the dark. The crown is " buried" into the case, it seem finicy to pullout, but the trick is to use the fingernail on the underside to pull it out, no problem. No problem to set the watch either, simple and forward, as explained in the manual. The instruction manual says you can expect + - 25 seconds accuracy a day, but my watch is so far much better, under 10 seconds a day, as good as more expensive brands, exellent for a watch to 100$, it is down from 295$. The watch was delivered a week before estimated delivery time !, and was in perfect condition, well done! Recommended for anyone looking for a classical good looking automatic watch.

I have 12 watches and I wear this watch for dressier occasions. It’s not too big or small and it slides under a cuff easily. It’s a bit eye catching with the sunburst dial and keeps it from looking utilitarian. One of those watches that fits the bill, especially for the price!

Man this is a nice looking watch! One thing to keep in mind is if you see the photos, the day is in arabic, but it has it in english too and you can switch between them. I've had this watch for 2 weeks now and I haven't had to adjust the time at all so far, so it's pretty reliable so far. The watch might fit a bit strangely because the bottom half of the watch is a bit bulky, but I got used to it pretty quick. Also the bracelet isn't the best, but it's changeable if you don't like it. Overall, I absolutely love this watch and for the price it was extremely worth it to me

for an item thats shipping from US to India, the seller should atleast wrap the watch with some plastic wrap, The entire watch crystal is scratched , the watch is good but my OCD dosent like the crystal scratches. have to live with it cause i cant return cause of import duties. watch is 5 stars

My favourite wrist watch

Everything about this watch is excellent, aside from the bracelet which though functional really doesn't suit the watch, nor is it easy to size. I swapped it out for a Oyster style bracelet from Aliexpress and it really makes it into a nice Rolex Oyster Perpetual homage. The grey dial is really stunning and the lume is excellent. You can't go wrong with this watch.

Perfecto reloj seiko. Me parece un reloj precioso, la correa de acero y el fondo negro quedan muy bien. Es un reloj automatico, y hay que usarlo para que se mantenga funcionando, por lo que si no lo usas en unos dias tendras que ajustar la hora y la fecha. No tiene la precisión de un reloj de cuarzo pero aguanta la hora adecuadamente. Tiene ventana trasera, por lo que se ve la maquinaria y el funcionamiento del pendulo, es una parte que no se ve pero que le da un toque al reloj. Es un reloj muy bonito y bien acabado a un precio muy ajustado. He comprado otros seiko 5 para regalar, y siempre ha causado muy buena impresion. Por el precio y el estilo es un reloj perfecto para usarlo a diario.

It’s classy, stylish and very affordable. I can only recommend 👌🏻😎
