SEIKOMen's Watches 5 SNKE03-4

Good looking watch in person but not completely black, more of a very dark charcoal or graphite gray. A genuine Seiko 5 automatic that keeps time well provided it’s worn at least every other day or on a winder. Less than 40mm case means it is medium sized. Has a bit of lume on the hands and indices. Watch band/bracelet is comfortable and easy to adjust. I recommend this model for those looking for a low price, reliable Seiko 5 automatic watch that can be worn daily or for more formal occasions and don’t need a chronograph or dive watch. Enjoy!

Now that I had some time to wear this automatic watch, I have to downgrade my previous 3 star rating to 1. As I stated in my first review, unless you intent to wear the watch every day, it's "automatic" function will work, no winding needed. If you skip a day, watch will STOP working and you're back to square one, resetting the time, day and date which has to be done in certain sequence, otherwise day an date will will display incorrect information. The power reserve on this Seiko 5 watch is just mediocre at best, not very convenient for sure. Not recommended.

First you have to understand that this is not a perpetual calendar. Every other month you will have to adjust the date. Second, you have to wear an automatic watch, else it stops running after a day or two.This one holds enough energy for about a day.It is a below $100 automatic watch. It looks great, and as long as you wear it, it runs. If you leave off for over a day, it will stop working, unless you put it on a winder.As long as you understand what you are buying, it is a great watch. Seiko has been around for a very long time. It looks nice, it works great, and it is absolute cheap for a good automatic watch.

Looks lovely and have a healthy weight to is , kinda bit small for my wrist , but I am keeping it .It's a low cost conversation starter

This model caught my eye because of the black look (and red second hand) and because it is a 38 mm case, a size that fits my wrist better. The look is nicely sporty, and the finish is clean. The watch comes with enough links in the bracelet to fit large wrists, but it is easy to adjust--there are lots of YouTube videos to tell you how you can do it yourself. The red second hand adds a nice visual flourish against the black dial. By the way, the bezel is fixed so it has no other function except as a design touch. From the look and feel point of view, it's beautiful.My main dress watch is a bigger Seiko automatic and I have had other automatics before, but this is the first one where I found the movement is wound purely by the watch movement through the rotor. All my other automatics I have been able to "power up" by winding the mainspring through the crown. Apparently this is because the movement in this watch (7S26-02T0) is on the lower end, although apparently it is a very dependable and well regarded workhorse. If you wear the watch fully during the day, the movement of the rotor will make the power reserve always topped up for the watch to run well.The seller provided excellent service and the watch was delivered within a week all the way from Japan--made it for Christmas!There are similar models in Amazon that looks to be the same, but with the product number of SNKE03J1. I'm not sure what the differences are, but the price of that listing is quite a bit higher than this one.

The watch looks great although it is abit small for someone with thinner wrist the low power reserve means itll run out of power overnight and often guve an inaccurate time. Solid construction.

Great watch at a great value. Shipping was very fast and safe

Looks very nice. But that’s it. Significantly loses time every few days. Day and date extremely inaccurate. Wish I could get a refund but it’s been too long now.
