You just can't go wrong with the Seiko 5 line of watches. Best bang for your buck watch brand. Period. Plus there are just so many styles to choose from.
I was hesitating between this and the snxs77, in the end I bought this one for the added elegance that time brands offer you with only a small point of brightness and the rest of shiny steel.
Hey buddies! So yeah, if you've noticed that scratch on the glass then you have a good eye. I had a wrist-accident and hit the wall. The cement wall. The jagged, cement wall. DERP! How's things?
Thanks mate, I saw this video last week so I really liked the watch, checked availability in the internet and found it. I got really lucky because at the moment the watch market in my country (Ukraine) is poor and also the prices have crazily gone up - 200$ for a basic Seiko 5 but I found this one for 120$ and I'm very happy with it 🥰
Love your videos!! I would like to see you experiment with other things on your channel besides watches. Maybe a podcast talking about random stories/topics or something. Your personality is so entertaining!
Love the blue dial, puts the blue divers like the sbdc033 and skx009 to shame! My favourite Seiko 5 is my SNKM41 with 37mm diameter, 18mm lug width and a 3 o'clock crown, has an awesome silver dial and it wears super nicely like a dress watch!
I love the dial on this! I have the SNKK27, a somewhat similar looking watch. I originally got it because I wanted a blue dial watch, but I really want a simple, blue sunburst dial watch. I'm about to get the blue Mako II, but I may also have to look into getting this one for when a diver is a little overkill.
I have the KK27 as well. I really like that as it gives a sporty vibe! Put it on a good strap it's pretty sweet! I would suggest the Ray II over the Mako II. It just cleaner in my opinion!
minitwatch I've been thinking about getting both. I'd get the Mako II in blue for my everyday, "casual" watch and the Ray II in black for more dressy occasions. Are there any automatic divers in roughly the same price range that you would recommend?
The seiko 5 snk793 looks and feels better n my opinion the only down side is the snk793 case diameter of 37 mm with a case of 11 mm. And the band is 18mm. It maybe to small for some. (Snk793 is on Amazon for 86 bucks.)
This is on the top of my list for purchase! Seems it's a lot more costly than the very similar SNK793 for unclear reason other than maybe we all prefer the bigger one? What would be a nice solid link bracelet upgrade in this style that double break the bank? And would it would with these fitted links?
Great video...I love your style of presentation xD! Could someone tell if the measurements are the same for the Seiko snkl43? It's similar to this watch with a blue dial but the hands are a little different
Can you suggest a 42 or 43mm version of this? Criteria is automatic, lume, daydate and blue..even if it's other brands this kind of blue is magnificent.
I just got a slightly different but very similar black and gold one today. It’s the snkl50 and I fucking love it so far. I put it on a leather strap and it looks amazing
I am late to the party for this watch, i just started subscribing to the channel. My question is, What sapphire crystal would this take? I want to buy a new seiko 5 to mod and I really like the 38mm case size. I have been using snk805 (37mm) for modding in the past which uses the CT063 from crystal times. Would this use the same size crystal?
Hey! Awesome video and channel :) liked and subbed. I am curious, does the watch on amazon that you linked have the same glass screen? When I click the link it takes me to a watch with a dull picture. Was it just the picture quality? I want the exact watch you have in the video :D
quite a bit! Side by side, you'd clearly see that the SARB033 had much more attention to detail put into it. The brushing is FAR better, the proportions are thoughtful, the bracelet is wonderful and it has a far better movement. I would buy the SARB033 ASAP because the prices are going to rise and rise as it's been discontinued.
Never mind, i can answer my own question, haha! the hands are different (The SNKL43 has pointed hands, look more dressy, less sporty) and the lug width is 18mm. This one has a 20mm width.
I got the white SNK789 as a gift and, gahdamn!!!, it's been running at FIFTEEN FKN minutes per day!! :( How can I get that changed without sending it to Seiko? I've called multiple jewelers and none of them know what the 7S26 movement even is! I couldn't believe it.
I just got this watch, great watch, so thanks for the great advice, but the bracelet is just awful. Any advice on a replacement bracelet would be more than welcome.
Yes. that's how pretty much all mechanical watches are. Even quartz/digital watches lose or gain time after a while. That's just how time is :). Now if your Seiko 5 is gaining or losing more than it's rated accuracy, there's a problem with the movement. Wear it for two consecutive days. On the beginning of the second day, start timing it for 24 hours. If it loses no more than 45 seconds or gains no more than 30, it's okay. Most Seiko 5's however around +~- 10-15 seconds per day. If yours is very bad, you might want to return it or get a new one. Having it serviced will cost more than a new one costs.
OOoohh now I know. Its my 1st time to have 1. I got mine from my late Granpa. May he rest in peace. Thanks for the tip Ill do start it now to fix this. mine is like gains more than time now is 6:29 utc +8 and on my seiko its 6:44. I adjusted it last 3:55 Pm. is this fixable?
When are you reviewing the Baby/Mini Turtle? There's a J version of it too now. I want dat watch! :D (I just bought a SARB033 though; so I can't buy anything for a minute)
The only downside is the short bracelet. 16 centimeters ? Well, made in Japan. Had to change the clip for longer Tissot buckle go figure because it’s impossible to by extra links go figure .
what a beautiful work of fine art for such a reasonable price - feel copiously enriched by wearing it...
Man I recently bought SNKE51 after watching your videos and I am in Love with that. Thank you so much and yes you got another subscriber.
You just can't go wrong with the Seiko 5 line of watches. Best bang for your buck watch brand. Period. Plus there are just so many styles to choose from.
Came to look for a nice Seiko 5. But kept watching because you just have a lot off fun reviewing! Keep doing what you do!
I was hesitating between this and the snxs77, in the end I bought this one for the added elegance that time brands offer you with only a small point of brightness and the rest of shiny steel.
Hey buddies! So yeah, if you've noticed that scratch on the glass then you have a good eye. I had a wrist-accident and hit the wall. The cement wall. The jagged, cement wall. DERP! How's things?
How big is your wrist?
Online the SNKE51 has a lug width of 18mm but his measurement says 20mm. Which should I get ?
Thanks mate, I saw this video last week so I really liked the watch, checked availability in the internet and found it.

Seiko 5 Crowns seem to have a seal on it's shaft so I would say they must be fairly waterproof.
After "it's a boy" I decided to buy this watch :-D Thank you bro, You made my week! :-)
i defenitly recommend rubbing a little metal polish on the band it gives it a nice shine
If the bezel was slightly thinner, I would rock this.
Love your videos!! I would like to see you experiment with other things on your channel besides watches. Maybe a podcast talking about random stories/topics or something. Your personality is so entertaining!
Do you still consider it as the best Seiko 5? Thank you
got the snkl51k1 white version with roman verticals. it's super dope!!!
have you made any videos about Seiko5 SNKP17K1? I recently bought this model. blue dial .
Love the blue dial, puts the blue divers like the sbdc033 and skx009 to shame! My favourite Seiko 5 is my SNKM41 with 37mm diameter, 18mm lug width and a 3 o'clock crown, has an awesome silver dial and it wears super nicely like a dress watch!
oh my gosh! 3:00! I need this watch for mods!
Just as I suspected, it's hard to find and expensive lol
Pppppppppp
How about the weight?What is the weight of this Seiko 5? Can you help me? Because i cant use heavy watches and i want to buy one of this.
I'm looking for one just like this in the same case size but in a black dial. Any help?
An old video I know but Uncle Jimmy makes me laugh from the stress out day....

would you guys recommend it as a first watch?
better looking than snkl23?
Dude!; you are criminally under-subbed!! You & Uncle Jimmy are the most entertaining watch oriented channel on YT! LMAO!
Thanks, man! I appreciate it a lot!!!
Your style & humor is top notch mate! Keep up the great work, and the subs will come! Take that 'bad boy' surfing and show us what happens!.. ;-)
I was supposed to do this weekend but it seems there will be a thunder storm lol.
Hey I have that watch! Got it a little over a month ago. It's my second wrist watch purchase (my first being a Timex Fairfeild). Great video mate!
Thanks, Jacob! And congrats on your excellent purchase!
This is on the top of my list for purchase!
Seems it's a lot more costly than the very similar SNK793 for unclear reason other than maybe we all prefer the bigger one?
What would be a nice solid link bracelet upgrade in this style that double break the bank? And would it would with these fitted links?
"Uughhh! It's a boy." BOOM! Instantly subscribed!
Great shots at the end as always!!!
Thank you, A.D.! I appreciate it!
Great video...I love your style of presentation xD!
Could someone tell if the measurements are the same for the Seiko snkl43? It's similar to this watch with a blue dial but the hands are a little different
I like this better then my SNKL23. Also, I cannot believe the variety of Seiko 5 watches. Now I need to also take a look at the SNKL45.
Yeah, there are just so many!
I'm glad for this comment because I just selected this model over 23.
Why is this better than SNKL23?
Snkl23 are pretty hard to get now... Almost rare
Is the Seiko SNK793 is a darker blue?
It is very slightly darker to my eyes.
Simple but elegant
I love seiko watch...😊😊😊
Hilarious videos, I just come here for the entertainment, the watch info is bonus!
What's your wrist size?
Can you suggest a 42 or 43mm version of this? Criteria is automatic, lume, daydate and blue..even if it's other brands this kind of blue is magnificent.
I’ve ordered the gold tone one, it’s coming Monday!
I just got a slightly different but very similar black and gold one today. It’s the snkl50 and I fucking love it so far. I put it on a leather strap and it looks amazing
That is a nice watch and only Seiko can cure that fear of the dark.
lume medication! Lumication! lol
I am late to the party for this watch, i just started subscribing to the channel. My question is, What sapphire crystal would this take?

Would this use the same size crystal?
Is it one of those Seikos made in Malaysia?
I think the SNK793 is better than this model, what do you think?
That is one good watch and incredible value for money.
I ordered one.. would 20mm leather strap fit or should I go with 18mm..? Anyone help.
Does this watch have a removable bezel?
Hey! Awesome video and channel :) liked and subbed. I am curious, does the watch on amazon that you linked have the same glass screen? When I click the link it takes me to a watch with a dull picture. Was it just the picture quality? I want the exact watch you have in the video :D
Had this watch for over a year... And the power reserve suddenly doesn't even last overnight... Is it worth fixing though?
Thanks
What song was that you had playing for the glamour shots?
that's Blue by Ptaylorcreative on audiojungle audiojungle.net/item/blue/7565739?s_rank=7
What's the circumference of your wrist?
This or SNK793?
How much difference is there between this or the sarb033? Looking to buy either very soon!
quite a bit! Side by side, you'd clearly see that the SARB033 had much more attention to detail put into it. The brushing is FAR better, the proportions are thoughtful, the bracelet is wonderful and it has a far better movement. I would buy the SARB033 ASAP because the prices are going to rise and rise as it's been discontinued.
What sapphire crystal size is correct for this watch??
Where it available?
Which is better? Snxs77, snke51 or snkl43?
What is the difference between SNKE51 and SNKE53. And how is is lume of this watch. Thanks
Snke53 is black
Is there a version with a bead blasted case?
What about the seiko 5 snxs77k ???
Your videos are so entertaining
the perfect seiko 5 to me right now is the SNKC55J1
Whats the difference between this one and the SNKL43?
Never mind, i can answer my own question, haha! the hands are different (The SNKL43 has pointed hands, look more dressy, less sporty) and the lug width is 18mm. This one has a 20mm width.
my wrist is 175mm, does it suit me?
I got the white SNK789 as a gift and, gahdamn!!!, it's been running at FIFTEEN FKN minutes per day!! :(
How can I get that changed without sending it to Seiko? I've called multiple jewelers and none of them know what the 7S26 movement even is! I couldn't believe it.
did you ever mod this?
What happened to the G shock vid?
Which G-Shock vid?
minitwatch I could’ve sworn I saw a gshock vid from you on the recommended page uploaded recently, wait I’ll try find it.
minitwatch ok sorry totally my fault it’s the one you uploaded this month last year. I forgot we were in 2018.
really nice watch
You should really make a uncle jimmy compilation he's hilarious
That's not a bad idea!
Is it better than snkl43 ?
Does anybody cares to make some comparison between SNKL43K1 vs SNK357K1 and SNKE51 vs SNK793? Side by side comparison. Fight of the blues! Anyone?
I just got this watch, great watch, so thanks for the great advice, but the bracelet is just awful. Any advice on a replacement bracelet would be more than welcome.
Can someone help me with better strap options for this watch?
Nice show bro thank you , many greetings from Germany,Beaautiful Seiko watch
Thank you, Nasir! I really appreciate it! Cheers from Hawai'i!
Sweet watch for the price point. Good one!!👍👊

nice review bro, i'm subscribing 🤝
What is the address of above watch to purchase, please it immediately by a message. And the cost
Poor Uncle Jimmy... When will he be back to his salty self?

Always fun with uncle jimmy 😄😄😄
He's the whole show :p
MAR12 annual calendar?
No, it's in french: "mar" (mardi) : "tue" (tuesday)
Did ted eat all the crickets?
Çok güzel detaylı bir inceleme olmuş teşekkürler
SNKE51 is no match with Turtle in terms of Lumi. Plz make the comparison between this watch and SARB35(33).
I have bought this SNKE51. This video is the great promotion video. You great!
what the leght of u wrist?
My seiko 5 time moves too fast.. it keeps on going advance
All of mine do. That's normal. The 7S26 movement is rated at -45 to +30 seconds per day of variance. if it's any more, then you've a problem.
so the only thing that I can do is to adjust it every now and then?
Yes. that's how pretty much all mechanical watches are. Even quartz/digital watches lose or gain time after a while. That's just how time is :). Now if your Seiko 5 is gaining or losing more than it's rated accuracy, there's a problem with the movement. Wear it for two consecutive days. On the beginning of the second day, start timing it for 24 hours. If it loses no more than 45 seconds or gains no more than 30, it's okay. Most Seiko 5's however around +~- 10-15 seconds per day. If yours is very bad, you might want to return it or get a new one. Having it serviced will cost more than a new one costs.
OOoohh now I know. Its my 1st time to have 1. I got mine from my late Granpa. May he rest in peace. Thanks for the tip Ill do start it now to fix this. mine is like gains more than time now is 6:29 utc +8 and on my seiko its 6:44. I adjusted it last 3:55 Pm. is this fixable?
nice watch khirt !! Put it on a nato for surfing
Shame it’s not water resistant, got a kinetic pulsar version with 100M water resistance looks the same is a beautiful watch
Thank you for the intro! :D
hehe, you're welcome!
When are you reviewing the Baby/Mini Turtle? There's a J version of it too now. I want dat watch! :D
(I just bought a SARB033 though; so I can't buy anything for a minute)
Whenever I can afford it. Things are tight right now. Very tight.
Best value Seiko watch....
The only downside is the short bracelet. 16 centimeters ? Well, made in Japan. Had to change the clip for longer Tissot buckle go figure because it’s impossible to by extra links go figure .
Jesus...-please stay this way, your a crazy Dude, but we love this part of your reviews!!
This is who I am. I don't plan on being anyone else but me :p Thank you :)
Good to hear :)
Me gusta el clásico Seiko Seiko 5 SNXS77K1Seiko 5 SNXS77K1 el clásico
Went snorkeling in Maui with a SNK807 for about 8 hours in total without any issues.
Nice!
seiko 5 watch price
Nice watch but bezel is too wide!
That's what I like about it to be honest! It has a bigger presence than most Seiko 5's (excluding Seiko 5 Sports models).
Japan made??
the perfect seiko 5 is my snkl43! =)
Can't argue with that one also being quite excellent!
does it also have lume?
Lol ice cream. Anyway thanks for the review. And the amusement 😂
R.I.P. Cricket, you will be missed :(
unRIP. Guess who's back. lol

What is the song used at the end?
Fly by Benji Jackson. It's only on Audio Jungle.
My mistake. It's actually Blue by Ptaylorcreative. I got mixed up lol. audiojungle.net/item/blue/7565739?s_rank=7
No problem- thanks.
This watch is a lot like the SNK793, the one I have.
Yes. The dial is slightly different and the case sizes are about 2mm apart. Both excellent choices!
Hi sir miniwatch, i realy like your vids and kind of humor. I like your glove puppet colleague too. Pls do bit often vids :) Have a nice day
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Perfect size for you
Very much so!
