Seiko Men’s SNK809 Seiko 5 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch W/ Black Canvas Strap

Bought this watch back in 2013, it had a very easy initial number of years. After that used it with United States Army Infantry standard training. The watch never ever left my wrist, medicine it via mud and also filth, water, sweat, splits, banged it about on a ceramic tile flooring whilst doing push-ups. Broke a springbar placing on a backpack as soon as however that was a simple repair. Been using it the last 2 years in the Army, It’s been actually chilly, as well as actually warm, swam with me on various water survival jobs, embarked on high dives and also zip lines right into a lake, it’s gotten on my wrist leaping out of aircrafts and also helicopters at 1500ft. I do not recognize what individuals are discussing “splash immune” this little seiko has actually gotten on my wrist for the battle water survival analysis a minimum of 15 times. Little adequate that it does not hinder of handwear covers or lengthy sleeve t-shirts. Invest the 50 dollars, stick a nato band on it, defeat the heck from it for as lengthy as it lasts, after that acquire a brand-new one. I’ve been brutalizing mine for 4+ years as well as it hasn’t avoided a beat.

I lately obtained this watch after doing a reasonable quantity of study searching for an affordable yet high quality look for on a daily basis usage. The worth at this cost factor appears absolutely remarkable. Being an automated made it much more so. The Seiko 7S26 activity is a reputable attempted as well as evaluated element and also I have actually discovered mine to be precise within regarding 2 secs daily which is superb. I recognize others have actually priced quote various statistics for precision and also I do not challenge their searchings for. Possibly I simply obtained added fortunate with mine.I like the event instance back which reveals the activity technicians! I believe the watch face is outlined well as well as is fairly pleasing as well as not littered. The radiant markings last for hrs albeit go to they are not incredibly intense after some time however still conveniently seen at night. The crown is really inconspicuous as it is embeded in additional than numerous. Some might see this as a disadvantage yet I choose having it this way. Component of my sensation by doing this might be that I’m left-handed so I use the watch on my right-hand man. It does not really feel or look odd in any way with the crown being so very little. It is still simple to take out although you do need to have a bit of a finger nail to obtain beneath it however I do not discover that to be a problem.I actually like the handmade surface on the situation. Directly I would not think about brightening it like some have. I like it simply the method it is. If there is something that I would certainly be important of it’s the band that includes this watch. I acquired an additional band at the exact same time I acquired the watch as well as instantaneously transformed it bent on a terrific looking dark brownish authentic natural leather band. (See pictures) To me this is the best enhance to the watch. Despite the band, I still provided it 5 star since the band is quickly altered as well as the worth of the watch itself with all its functions is outstanding. To be able to obtain an automated watch of this top quality at this cost factor makes this a piece of cake.
