Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNXG47

Quality product, as I would expect from this manufacturer. Elegant and not bulky. Runs for more than a day without wearing it. Keeps good time.

This watch is a bargain, it has a classic look and is very well made, it also keeps time well, it hasn't lost more than a few seconds in two days, and after half a day’s wearing it's still running 36 hours later, I actually bought another Seiko watch after reading some of the bad reviews on here as I wasn't sure I'd be happy with it, but I'm glad to say I love it, it doesn't have the best bracelet in the world but it's more than acceptable, and I had enough adjustment in the bracelet that I didn't need to remove any links, my wrist is 180mm so if yours is close to that you won't need to remove links, it's a bit fiddly to adjust but I don't mind that at all

Great looking watch. This is ware it ends Looses 1 hour per 24 Stops working 20 minutes after removing from wrist

Beautiful watch to look at. Some people have said that the bracelet isn’t great but it’s had complimentary remarks when I’ve been wearing it. It is a little smaller than I expected but quite a few people have mentioned that and I like it so much it doesn’t matter. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is that it has lost a couple of minutes in the few weeks I have had it. Also if you are not used to automatic it is a bit of a pain having to reset if I have chosen to wear one of my other watches for the day. But having said that it is still very good value for money and I am very happy with it.

My thoughts after 5 days' ownership: shipping was efficient and the watch arrived intact. Packaging was appropriate to protect the product in transit; and a functional Seiko presentation box appropriate to this value of timepiece was supplied (mass-produced with faux velvet cushion, not of the standard you would get with a luxury watch). The watch is in new condition, protected with shrink-wrapped cellophane on the bracelet and with plastic sticker on the base back. There appear to be no hair-line cracks anywhere on the case, nor scratches. To confirm, the lug to lug width is 19mm rather than 20mm. The bracelet is of the usual type in this price point for a Seiko 5, of folded steel which has a propensity to trap wrist hair. The case back is of the exhibition type; you can see the engaging of the magic level system (the fame and high regard for this mechanism being my reason for acquiring the watch). So far the accuracy is +2 seconds in 24 hours (which is within chronometer standards), although there are several caveats to observe with regard to accuracy: the case offers little resistance to external magnetic fields (no internal iron mounting); recently the climate in which I have kept the watch has been very stable (variation can affect the regulation though not to the extent in a Quartz watch); and I doubt that each movement is much manually adjusted in the factory (not in different positions and at various temperatures). Therefore you should only expect the Seiko-quoted daily accuracy. This is fair because this is not a certified chronometer, after all. However, the mechanism has a reputation amongst watch enthusiasts for durability (20 years off of decent running without servicing, in some reported instances I have read) and therefore the product represents good value for money. If you are after a luxury grade of watch manufactured in Japan, then investigate Grand Seiko, especially their Spring Drive movement, or Credor (I have no assosiation with any brand). Note that due to the nature of the magic lever mechanism, the movement of this watch does not hack, so this watch will not suit someone who likes regularly to set the exact time from a radio signal or atomic clock (though one can readily read on line about how to take advantage of isochronism by leaving the watch overnight crown up/down or dial up/down to manage the overall rate of the movement).

In my opinion the best looking Seiko 5 available. I've seen pictures of this watch with a light brown leather strap (purchased separately) and it looks superb. My watch holds time nearly as good as a regular quartz, but has the lovely sweep second hand. As a classically styled watch it is smaller than most contemporary watches, but not small enough on my wrist to look anything other than a mans watch. I own many much more expensive watches than this one, but somehow the Seiko name and the perfection of the design makes me want to wear it as much as any other. It's beautifully finished for a watch that is only 60 quid. You will struggle to find anything this classy for the price. It's a classic design and should be part of any fan of watches collection.

I have over thirty watches, Rolex, Omega's, Raymond Weil's, Rado and Seiko, five of them. I have a turtle, two grand sports and two 5's. This is one of my favourite watches, it's cheap, lightweight, durable, reliable and efficient. The value for money you get is unbeatable, in this price bracket I don't know of any other watch to match. I wear this design of 5 for work quite often, I would recommend it to anyone and would rather this watch than anything that I know of up to the £200 mark and only then to another Seiko or Citizen. The bracelet is not as tough as the watch itself, I damaged mine by stretching it in a watch case (something to be wary of), I had it too tight on the holder and had to replace the bracelet. This was not the fault of Seiko, it was mine but, take care not to repeat my mistake.

Seiko 5 watches are well known for not keeping very accurate time - this one currently gains 2 minutes a week. My other Seiko 5 watch bands have been easy to adjust but this one was particularly awkward. I do like the look of the watch which is why I bought it.
