SEIKOAutomatic Winding Automatic Japan Made SNXS77J1

I definitely recommend to everyone this watch as well as the seller in Japan I bought it from (Moon-Dog).First of all to the seller: very good communication before and during delivering (to Germany in my case), very careful packaged, no scratches at all.The watch has been remarkably accurate out of the box already.The Seiko 5 SNX series is for sure the self winding automatic watch with the best price-performance ratio on the international watch market. I think even with the additional costs of delivering and import fees it's still worth it.Although the bracelet is folded and not of the highest quality it fits the watch well and is looking nicely also. I personally like the contrast between the brushed bracelet and the polished watchcase.If you are not happy with it you can combine it also very good with a leather watch band.It' s a classical watch with a sporty-elegant appearance and it has a long tradition within the house of its manufacturer.Today Seiko 5's and their built in in-house movements (which are very sophisticated and long lasting by the way) have reached nearly cult status.The dial reminds me a bit of the Rolex Explorer, Date Just or Oyster Perpetual.The blue SNXS 77 as well as the dark grey/Rhodium-like SNXS 79 has a beautiful sun-brushed dial which is finely crafted and comes with applied indices. The Lumi Brite works pretty good and looks beautiful too.I personally do not recommend buying the cheaper versions manufactured in Malaysia.Finishing and quality control is not the same.

The watch is visually striking and the deep blue dial has a beautiful shimmer.We bought the import version of this watch and it does have "made in Japan" engraved on it. The construction and detail are of high precision. The day setting can be set to Arabic or English.Although it is a man's watch, it was a pretty small for my wrist, the case being 38mm in diameter. So I gave it to my wife. It looks like a large ladies watch on her hands (she is quite tall). The bracelet is tough but a bit lighter than I expected, and perfect for my wife.It is pretty accurate, but one must ensure reasonable amount of daily activity to keep it wound. For example, if you are at a desk all day and don't hit the gym in the evening, you will need to manually wind it (by waving the watch for about 20 seconds) to ensure the spring is adequately wound.

It's very similar in style to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. I paid $138 on sale. Totally worth it. The dial is beautiful with sunburst. It's time keeping is accurate for being a mechanical (so it doesn't need a battery [get it serviced at a watch shop at 5 years!!!]). The only draw back was the day wheel is in Arabic. It has English nut no Spanish. Wish it stated that... Otherwise, 5 stars.

I just received this Seiko today. Very minimalist model which is exactly what I was looking for.I did replace the bracelet (don't like them) with a nice ,black silicone strap and the watch looks fabulous.I know some buyers had issue with the fact that the day wheel is in both English and Arabic. This MIJ model was made for the middle eastern market.An incredible NOS find in MIO.

It seems like I bought a used product! When I opened the product the protective plastic was removed and the tags for the watch was ripped off!

I am shocked how well this turned out to be.It was a last minute gift and it truly impressed me with the quality!It made the perfect gift!

Absolutely beautiful watch. I bought a Watchhabit 19mm rubber strap to put on it since reviews stated the bracelet felt cheap, can confirm. The actual case, movement, and finish is beautiful though. The lady complaining about the day being in another language didn’t read the manual. These watches are bilingual so you need to set it to the language you use then when it rolls over at midnight to the next day and date it will be on the other language until 3am, after which it will snap to the language you had it set to the day before. Beautiful watch!

I still don’t know why this watch is so cheap. The built quality besides the cheapo bracelet is beyond explanations. So far it’s accurate and it’s very light on the wrist. The bracelet feels cheap but it’s actually very comfortable on your wrist! This watch should be at 500 bucks! Overall, a very nice watch for the price!
