    I've had my SNK809 since senior year of high school, wore it everyday in college, joined the Army, did a combat rotation with it, and did numerous field exercises as a tank platoon leader in it and it is by the best watch I have ever owned. Everyone I know wore G-shocks but my seiko held up super well through some serious shit. Very happy with it.

    Solid review. I've had my 809 since 2016. I recently bought an 807 Blue version for my little half brother, he's 8. My dad tells me he's been wearing it daily. Coolest thing when I gave it to him was he read the time immediately. Super stoked to see if he likes watches like I do.

    My first watch was a fashion brand... wore it for a week and knew it was a POS... got on TH-cam and saw that everyone was suggesting seiko 5 for beginners. Bought my SNXF05 due to slenderwrist review a few months ago and haven’t taken it off my wrist. Bought my model thinking I’d baby it but so far I e worn it out in the tractor, wrangling cattle and have absolutely mashed it... thinking “yup... it’s jacked up...” and yet I only have one scratch on the case. Super AMAZED! With the quality. The fact the case scratched before the crystal that soooo many people talk down on. If I can slam my watch into a fence a cow is slamming me into... i feel like it passes the test right?
    And love the seiko video! You didn’t let me down!!!! I’d love to see maybe “a real review of the SNZG17” price is there and it’s am interesting piece for the price and it’s a PVD model?
    Been buying models for my family and friends for upcoming 2019 Christmas. It’s basic like you say but beautiful at the same time for a beginner!
    I bought this one in particular for my landlord/best friend. As he appreciates mechanical pieces as he’s a luthier. And (no offense buddy) I always see you wearing GIANT watches on your wrist...
    Nice review broseph! I love the fact you included a timeline/ history arc for seiko. That’s what made me love this brand. They have history. And I’d love to share the story of seiko with my friends in my hope my friends can see the beauty in the mechanics and not the beauty of a “fashion watch”
    Much love!!! Wear it in good health and always keep a watch! It’s always a milestone in your life you can look back on when your older!

    • @watchlad1969
      @watchlad1969  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for sharing your story Lego Guy! And I appreciate the feedback! Sounds like the SNK 809 has treated you extremely well. As far as the fashion brands go.. it's true, a lot of people who are just getting into watches end up going with fashion brands. Even one of my first watches was a fashion brand watch. It has to do with the fact that 99% of style guru's on TH-cam only suggest fashion brands so a lot of the watch new comers don't even know about brands like SEIKO, CITIZEN, ORIENT or even TIMEX. But, that's all beginning to change!

    I own this one and although I own lots of way more expensive watches, it gets a lot of wristtime. I have the version with the stainless steel bracelet and I have to admit: its very pretty. The deep black glossy dial and the applied Seiko and Seiko 5 logos makes it look very sophisticated and quite dapper.

    I own this watch and the review is correct. It’s really a perfect watch- mostly, but it’s water resistance is quite limited and it is shockingly small. 37mm is a generous measurement. And it fits on the wrist similar to a 35-36.
    I wore it for 6-7 months daily and decided to step up to the SNZG15. The 42mm bigger brother. With 100m water resistance.
    Looks almost identical (aside from the 3oclock crown) and the minute labeling on the face is changed for 24hr numbering. But colors, styling, band, and face layout are identical.
    If you are over 5ft 10 and 170+lbs the 809 will likely just be too small and almost look a bit of a novelty.

    I have had mine (black dail) for over six months. It's a good looking watch and is built for endurance. Don't get me wrong, it's not a Hamilton field watch you can buy for approximately $500.00. It is surprisingly accurate. I was quite shocked when I found out you could purchase a Seiko wristwatch, automatic 21-jeweled movement for $69.00. I think you'll love it. So be sure to shop around on Amazon, because of the differences in prices. Some, like this style, can sell for over a $100.00. But you should be able to find one for around $70.00. One other thing, the man is right about the watch strap. I ended up replacing mine 😊.

    Nice review! Bought this one two years ago on Amazon for $47, and the blue one, snk807, for $54. Don't know if the prices will ever reach those levels again, but I love the watches. My first automatic was actually the much larger Orient blue mako. It was nice also, but I prefer these due to their incredible value and smaller size.

    A great watch for your money for those who don't like huge watches. I have exactly the same ones in the same blue box. I have been wearing it periodically since 2012. Accuracy suits me fine. Initially, they lagged slightly. I went to the watchmaker and asked him to adjust the "thermometer" so that the clock was slightly in a hurry. For this class of mechanism, the accuracy is quite good, in any case, as a pedant, it suits me quite well. I bought it on Amazon, if memory serves, for more than 80 dollars at a discount.

  • @ufooooooooooooooooo
    @ufooooooooooooooooo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This used to be the best around $50 dollar watch not too long ago. I totally beat on mine and it's still going strong today. Another watch which is still relatively cheap today and probably one of the cheapest automatics is the Orient Tri-Star. I bought them both at the same time and that 40 dollar Orient is surprisingly one of my most accurate automatics still staying within 6 seconds a day. I think even today they're both awesome choices.

    I have the SNK803 version, and I like everything about it except one thing. Mine is not accurate at all. To be fair, it is rated at +-25 seconds per day, and mine seems to be around -30. But this means I need to reset it about once per week. That’s too often for me. So I took it to my watch service guy and he timegraphed it, and tried to regulate it, but wasn’t able to get better accuracy. I think I might have just gotten one that’s on the low side of the accuracy spec, and other people might get lucky and have better accuracy. It’s too bad because I really like the watch. But sadly it has ended up in my watch drawer unworn.

    I recently ran across my Grandfather's 1952 Doxa automatic, and found that it runs. That piqued my interest in automatics, so I purchased an Orient Tristar and a Seiko SNK805, getting both for a total under $200. Though I doubt any mechanical watch can become my daily, the bug has bitten me just a bit.

    I am buying a restored Russian watch by Molinja Reconnaisanse which is a classic pilots watch. It has the hours dial in the normal place with various strategic nos missing for other instrument embelishments or chrono at 9 for e.g. I first bought a Poveba 1980 pilots watch with the minutes on the outside the hours 2 x 12 on the inside. But at 34mm case dia and the crystal at 28mm seeing without glasses as I would normally was too difficult, dial/face too busy. I've bought from a UK seller this SNK809 black new at a similar price although they show up at twice this now. The point is that you didn't mention the exquisite dial design which is unusual yet to me quite logical hours traced by the 'big' finger and hours by the small..This plus the pilots triangle at 12 to designate uprightness are irresistible. So looking forward to receiving this one as well - got to be a classic design for me!! G D F

    Always try to get the SNK809K2. It usually costs about the same as the K1 but comes with the metal bracelet. Even if you don't use the bracelet, it's nice to have. And it looks cool.

    I know 3 bar watch is not the best thing for scuba diving. I wore it as an experiment. So did three other people with no leakages.
    I went to 70 feet off of Atlantic City. 5 bar no problems either. Seiko, Casio, Orient all work like horses. Orient and Seiko both offer a bang for the buck. Casio in most instances seems not breakable.
