| | 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 | |

Fairly Small and insubstantial May 12, 2012
By Bloose
I ordered this watch as a replacement for my every day watch which made me late for work when the battery went dead. I've always liked real mechanical watches but having to wind them every day is somewhat inconvenient. An automatic watch seemed to be the perfect answer, and so far it is. Upon receiving the watch I gave it a few shakes and the second hand started ticking away and had not stopped since. For an everyday time piece it serves its purpose very effectively. As for long term accuracy I cannot say yet but these watches are adjustable if need be, though you may want to take it in if it requires adjustment. The watch is attractive and has the day and date. The day and date features are very important to me. There are a few "issues" that I think potential buyers should be aware of, here is a list,
The band is stamped SS so it is pretty light and insubstantial
The watch itself is pretty small for a mans watch. If you have a large wrist it may be far too small. It's almost the size of a large women's watch
There are no instruction on adjusting the band and it was sort of difficult to figure out
Seiko's web site just about denies the existence of these watches
There is no way to manually wind the watch
When you pull the crown the second hand keeps ticking so there is no way to sync the watch exactly
If you can live with a watch with the above limitations it's really a pretty nice watch. If you wear it everyday it should never stop ticking away (second hand actually sweeps more so than tics) and serve its purpose very well. For an every day watch I feel it fits the bill very well.
