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

Product Information

The Seiko SNK809 provides many features including its being durable, reliable, and practical. This makes it a practical option if you’re looking for your first-ever automatic timepiece. It explains why this model is, in fact, one of the best-selling Seiko watches on the market today. 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 The small size of the Seiko SNK805/807/809 makes it perfect for people (men & women) with small to medium wrists.

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 doesn’t come anything close to sapphire in terms of keeping scratches at bay, but manages to get the job done quite commendably. Above: A Submariner-styled SKX007 mod, with a SKX171 dial. Very nice stuff!

These jewels are actually tiny and synthetic stones that are used as bearings in the movements of a watch. Great post. This is an article I will visit repeatedly; I’m sure. But I don’t understand the absence of the modern Astron. The titanium Astron GPS Solar UTC is my daily work-horse because is does everything, including power itself and find the right time and date, without me even having to touch it. It feels solid but never heavy and has good lume. It is so comfortable I sleep with it on. But while the SNKL23 is much inexpensive than the SNK809, keep in mind that the latter model features the precise 21 jewels automatic technology and the former does not. So, I think that’s mainly the reason behind the price differences. Is This Watch Best For You?

The SKX013, like the SKX007, has strong aftermarket support. You can shop some of our SKX013 modification parts here. The 7S26 automatic winding movement combines simplicity with reliability. It’s fitted with 21 jewels and beats at 21,600bph. With a standard deviation of -20/ +40 seconds a day, the 7S26 isn’t the most accurate of movements but is pretty reasonable for its’ price point.We didn’t say all of that as a suggestion that Seiko should have fitted a bracelet to the SNK809. Budget watches can be great at many things, but bracelets at the lowest price point can feel like they’re made out of tweezers. It’s more than splash proof as you might read. It’s not the most water-proof watch for scuba-diving. So if you’re planning to do that activity, you should probably consider a different unit.

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 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/Date Now, I hope this Review of mine would help you in making your decisions. In the end, it is your preferences that will matter. You certainly know what would look best on you. And you also know what would not.

Now this may not be that exclusive watch that’ll make an entire room weak in the knees whenever you stretch your hand out for that cuppa joe, but numbers don’t lie.

Hence, it is largely up to you to take this risk or not. Also, I suggest that you really inspect first the watch before purchasing it. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Nothing is more satisfying than watching the gears and levers of a manual timepiece working in beautiful synchrony. It might not look as intricate as some other watches, but the 7S26 movement in this is still a sight to behold. The Strap After a few days of wear, it becomes softer and more comfortable, but it’s worth looking at an affordable replacement. The good news is that the SNK809 looks great on a variety of straps, including rubber and leather watch straps. A rubber strap looks great too, and it’s very comfy.
