Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the watch. They mention that it has an elegant dark blue colored face, and the overall effect is tasteful and subdued. They also appreciate the no frills design, and eye candy look. The watch has excellent contrast between hands and face, with no DIGITALS or other features in the dial to obscure. Customers also like the clear back, which allows them to show friends the inner workings.

Customers like the hand-winding of the watch. They say it winds itself through movement, has a solid automatic movement, and is smooth and reliable. Some customers mention that the back of the Seiko is interesting to view the movement. However, some customers mention the watch needs to be reset after a day or two and the constant steering keeps it running.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the watch. Some mention that it's the best mechanical watch you can buy in the sub-$500 category, while others say that it loses a couple seconds per 24 hours and runs a tad slow.

The band is a bit large, and some customers say that it looks like a women's size watch.

Looks better in real life, keeps good time

Looks better in real life, keeps good time
I bought this to wear as my daily beater at work, I picked the blue dial to match the grubby blue clothes they make me wear. The dial is pretty and easy to read, it varies from reflective navy blue to almost black, depending on the light. In direct sunlight there can be a bit of an issue with glare, but nothing a quick turn of the wrist won't solve. The lume is ok, not the easiest to read in full dark, but it doesn't matter too much anyways.I was concerned about the lack of hacking and winding, but it started ticking as soon as I picked it up and I have it set to within 15 seconds of the time on my phone and there hasn't been any noticeable loss or gain. I took it off for a day on the weekend and it was still running accurate when I put it back on. The date and day of week are easy to set, the date clicks over shortly after midnight and the day of week follows an hour or two later. The stock bracelet is ok once it's adjusted properly, it's a little jangly sounding but hasn't been a hair grabber so far. It can be removed with relative ease if you want to swap it out with another 18mm band. The display back for the 7S26 movement is a nice touch, with a quality leather band this thing could easily be dressed up. I haven't had a chance to get it wet or scratch the surface yet but I'm not too worried about either. The Seiko hardlex should hold up pretty well and it's not like I'll be swimming with this watch. The screw on display case will have no trouble keeping out rain and I wouldn't be worried if I forgot to take it of before showering for some reason. Overall, it's a nice looking watch, much better in real life than the pictures on the listing, it keeps good time, will never need a new battery, and at this price point I'm not concerned about the daily wear an tear it will eventually receive from being worn at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful understated dress watch for smaller wrists
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2011
I just got this watch recently so I can't comment on reliability over time, etc. However I can give you my first impressions, which are excellent. This watch really looks much better in person than in pictures. It's not a overtly "manly man" watch like the legions of Submariner clones and military watches out there, but instead it's simple, elegant, and understated. I was a little concerned that the mirror-polished bezel would look too blingy or jewelry-like, but it actually balances nicely with the deep blue face and brushed-steel band. The watch itself is a good size if you are, like me, small-to-average in build. The exposed mechanics on the back side are an added bonus, especially for those of us who are relatively new to the world of automatics.

The bracelet is also good quality for the money. It's put together well enough that I was easily able to remove a few links to resize the bracelet on my own. The last watch I got, an Orient diver model, was so stubborn that even the professional watch repairman had trouble with it. It's convenient to save yourself a trip to the watch shop and reassuring to know that you can modify the watch band however you like, whenever you like.

As far as actual time-keeping goes, I'm sure it's losing or gaining a few seconds each day, but nothing noticeable, and I haven't had to reset the time yet. I haven't had any issues with it in the short time I've owned it.

If you're looking for a big, complicated, eye-catching watch, keep looking. But if you want a simple, mid-sized dress watch with timeless good looks, or are just looking for an entry point into the world of automatic watches, this might just be the one for you. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value for the money than the Seiko 5 line, especially with Amazon's regular discounts.

Update: I've now had the Seiko for almost a month and I'm pleased with the accuracy of the movement. It's only lost about a second per week, which is incredible for any automatic watch, let alone one in this price range. Part of that is undoubtedly the luck of the draw, but I've got no complaints so far.

Muy bien por el vendedor envío en 3 días a Canarias.Es el 2ºSeiko 5 q tengo,el primero lo heredé de mi padre con más de 50 años y funciona perfectamente trabajando en el campo un 6309 Cal. Este lo compré porque se parece mucho es un 7S26 Cal.Ligero y elegante con un funcionamiento impecable ,también es muy cómodo la corona a las 4 lo hace perfecto para trabajar como por comodidad.Calidad por dónde quiera que lo mires.
El ajuste de la correa es muy sencillo y de calidad.
Al ser de 18 mm de brazalete lo hace perfecto para cualquier tipo de muñeca.La caja de 37 mm también está muy bien acabada tanto por la esfera como por la trasera.Tengo Orient ⭐️⭐️⭐️ de 39 mmy siempre vuelvo a este modelo.
Resistente manufactura Japonesa a un precio excelente.El Color va desde azul oscuro hasta negro según la luz.Estoy muy contento con la compra.
