Seiko 5 Automatic SNZG17J1

Attractive semi-military design in gun-metal dark grey, not black (apart from dial) as some descriptions have it. Extremely easy to read day or night with lumibrite hands and hour markers. A little heavier than expected, but very wearable nonetheless. Reliable automatic 23-jewel Seiko movement Cal. 7S36 'Made in Japan' with see-through case back. My example is currently losing around 25 sec/day so after a while I'll get it adjusted. As Seiko's lowliest automatic movement, I wouldn't expect it to be as accurate as my Swiss Cal. SW 200-1 / ETA 2824-2 which can do +/- 2 sec/day, but this watch is 5 times cheaper. Good price and quick delivery from the Tiny Watch Company via Amazon. Very pleased with this purchase.

A good watch that sits on the wrist well, without looking too large. It is legible in reduced lighting, requires no winding nor battery changes, being an automatic movement and the finish is good.The only gripe is that the link pins under the clasp are chrome, and shine from under the black bracelet, reducing the effect of the all black finish slightly.Good value though.

Bought one of these in Oct this year. Good size without being too large.Very easy to read read the digits in the day and they brightly illuminate at night. Good for my ageing eyes!So far after around month the time keeping is good especially for an auto, only out by a few seconds.I am fortunate to also have an expensive swiss watch that although a lovely watch, it is nowhere near as accurate day to day.Very pleased with my purchase to date.

This is a tremendous watch, especially at this price. It took a few days for the timekeeping to settle in but in two or three weeks since then it has kept to within 30 seconds of 'true' without any intervention from me.In daylight I find the face a little 'busy'/cluttered but for this price I'm not complaining; similarly, I wouldn't want the face any smaller especially in light of the size of the bracelet. In the dark the luminosity works very well indeed.The bracelet and casing are a darker shade than indicated by the photo, a very dark gunmetal shade, just as I wanted.I bought this as a stand-in whilst my wind-up Swiss watch is in for service and in its own way it is almost as appealing as that one.
