| | Description | SEIKO 5 - the meaning of the "5" A great marketer had the idea in the 70ies: to be a SEIKO 5, the watch has to have the following 5 (five) attributes (thus the name SEIKO 5): 1. Automatic, 2. Water resistant, 3. Shock resistant, 4. Date, 5. Day. Please note that some SEIKO 5's are in fact SEIKO 4's, if the "Day" function is omitted, then the Caliber 7S25 is used. The only difference to the normally found 7S26 is the omission of the day wheel. Also re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber. Again the 7S36 is similar to the most popular 7S26, yet it features 23 Jewels as opposed to the 21 Jewels in the 7S26. Please note that all these movements beat at a rate of 21'600 bph (beats per hour) or 6 bps (beats per second). As a comparison, an ETA 2824-2 beats at 28'800 bph or 8 bps. A Miyota 82xx beats at 21'600 bph. Why do I mention these three movements? Because they are found in probably 80% of all inexpensive automatic wrist watches. A market share that is huge, yet challenged these days (2006) by an increasing share of inexpensive China Made automatic movements An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch, typically with a balance wheel escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity, a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time. | |

 Great Watch - Great Value Mar 02, 2009
By Mike
I have been wearing my watch for a week now. It looks great and feels substantial. A very high quality timepiece. I have not had a mechanical watch since the early 70s, it is very retro and unique. I have not seen any automatic movement Seikos in any US stores.
Despite reading several internet tutorials on adjusting bracelet length, I was unable to do it myself. I ended up paying a jeweler $10 US to do it for me. He used a special pliers and made it look easy. Still a bargain. $175 Seikos sell for $125 - $140 in stores.
It is not as accurate as a quartz watch; this one gains 6 seconds a day. That is good for a mechanical watch of this price. I plan to deal with this by setting it 30 seconds slow and reset it when it is 30 fast. That is close enough for my life and as close as most people have their watches set anyway.
Buy it, you'll like it.

Excellent watch for the price Mar 29, 2011
By Derrial Book
Received this as a gift over a year ago and it's become my favorite watch. The simple face, ease of adjustment, and automatic winding has made it a classic 'keep forever' device. As a tech addict I'd drifted from watches but found I liked the simplicity and reliability of a watch. After years of not wearing a watch it still takes some getting used to the metal linked band. Hair pulling is frequent enough to remind be it happens but not frequent enough to dissuade from wearing. Craftsmanship seems better than the price, so it's not in the Panerai Luminor category but good enough for my wrist.
 Nice looking, poor time keeeper Apr 02, 2012

This watch looks beautiful but it has a number of drawbacks: 1) the wristband is very hard to adjust even for a professional watchmaker due to the the type of link holder: 2) my watch ran fast and could not be adjusted.
Currently I had to send it back for repairs,instead of returning it, because I had already adjusted the wristband.
Have not heard from the repairer yet. Hopefully, I will get a functioning timepiece out of this.
Good Watch for the Price Jul 11, 2010
By Corkjc
This is the second time I have bought this watch. I had the first for a year before it failed. It is a really good looking watch at a good price. The first lasted one year and I am not expecting the second one to last longer, I am tough on my watches.
