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

Product Information

However, based on the price point the SNK809 is a good option based on the various plusses. They include the outstanding price for an entry-level automatic Seiko. It’s also loaded with good features like the scratch-resistant hardlex crystal. It is powered by Seiko’s bulletproof 7S26 movement, like most of the other watches on this list, and it boasts a very reassuring water resistance of 200m. Granted, it only lasts for a while after the sun goes down, but the silver-toned luminous hands allows you to easily tell time in the dark.

I mentioned earlier in our specifications section that the Seiko featured a Seiko 7S26 movement. The Seiko 7S26 automatic movement is basic 21 jewel style movement. Unlike many watches you see around these days, the SNK809 isn’t huge, it’s perfect for people looking for a watch that suits smaller wrists. It’s not as durable as sapphire crystal. That said, since this is an entry-level watch it probably won’t be an issue. After using your first automatic watch, you’ll be ready later to upgrade to sapphire crystal. This feature provides a power reserve of about 1.6 days, which is more than enough for everyday use. So the watch can store about two days’ worth of juice before you’ll need to wind up the watch again. This figure is on the high end since automatic watches tend to have a power reserve up to 48 hours. Day/DateDoing so might require you to service your watch more often, but the cool cred you’ll get when pairing your Seiko with your speedos will more than make up for it, right? The Movement Photography by Jacques Elliott The minute and hour hands both use the same lozenge shape. This looks good, but it is a bit counter-productive to have almost undistinguishable hands.

The sharp hands are fully lumed, and the second hand is lumed on its counterweight with a flash of red on the pointer end. The Seiko Turtle is a relatively large watch, coming in at 44mm. However, don’t be thrown off by its specs. The square-ish, ‘cushion-case’ design of the Turtle, and its short, chunky lugs make it suitable for all but the smallest of wrists. Whilst many large dive-watches have a tendency to feel top-heavy and unbalanced, the Turtle feels extremely natural on the wrist, and wears incredibly comfortably too. Some may say that this a minimalist type, but personally, it is not. There is a huge difference between simplicity and minimalism. If you want a minimalistic style, I suggest that you take a look on the SNKl23 Seiko 5 military watch because that is, for me, the minimalist type. 21 Jewels AutomaticMovementThe SKX007/SKX009, by far, has the most extensive aftermarket scene. All sorts of mod parts, from bezels, to bezel inserts, to crystals, to bracelets, can be swapped in and out on these watches. In terms of values, the more expensive a watch is, the more the number of jewels is present in the watch. Accordingly, these jewels are mainly the responsible ones for the accuracy and reliability of the time and day date indicators. Seiko produce a series of watches that are popular with collectors: from the Orange Monster to the SKX007 diver. The Seiko SNK809 field watch is another of their popular timepieces. At a glance

Apparently, many Seiko 5 posts of today would largely compare these two models. But I really don’t get the idea of comparing the two since both models have their own distinct beauty, design and elegance. Seiko watches are known to be built to a very high-quality level. In my experience, I’ve never had a problem with any of the Seiko watches in my collection, with proper care you can expect your Seiko watches to last an extremely long time. SNK809 DialAlso, if you're in search of a nice watch that can match your formal attire or even your semi-formal clothing, this is not really the most appropriate watch to buy. On the other hand, if you are looking for a watch that you can use on a daily basis, whether you intend to stroll around the neighborhood or have a casual date with your friends, this may be the appropriate watch that you are looking for. This isn’t as sturdy or water-proof as other options like stainless steel. However, it’s good enough for a basic automatic watch. Textile watch straps it provides a relatively durable strap vs. other textiles. It’s also more water-resistant than leather. The Seiko Men’s SNK809 is a good option if you’re looking for a quality wristwatch. It includes some basic features that provide quality/durability like stainless steel case and canvas bracelet. It also includes a scratch-resistant hardlex crystal. Seiko introduced the Sharp Edged family, whose members were distinguished by their intriguing textured dials, into the Presage collection in 2020, adding GMT models to the original group of time-and-date watches a year later. At just over 42mm in diameter and just shy of 50mm lug to lug, the Presage Sharp Edged GMT sits comfortably on the wrist thanks to sloping lugs; the case’s finish combines polishing and brushing at a level rarely found at this price point. The GMT bezel that frames the dial is made of steel and coated with Seiko’s fade-resistant DiaShield coating. The dial itself is, of course, the star of the show, with its geometric “Asanoha” textured pattern, an ancient Japanese design motif inspired by hemp leaves. The dial colors also take inspiration from Japan’s natural world, like the “Aitetsu” model pictured, whose tone evokes indigo-colored iron ore. Seiko King Seiko SPB279
