Product 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 daily watch December 13, 2009

My Seiko runs a tiny bit slow (loses about 1 minute per week, not bad at all). On a brown leather strap, I wear it to work with professional clothes. I love the dial design, and the clear caseback.
 Excellent Intro to Automatic Watches, Very Accurate December 10, 2009

Was expecting this watch to lose/gain 10 seconds per day, as is typical for
an automatic watch, but it didn't gain more than 2-3 seconds over a FULL
WEEK of careful monitoring! Very pleased with the accuracy! The 21 jewels
must have performed their magic.
The band is a bit too narrow at 18mm, and that's really what kept this
watch from getting a 5 star review. Soon after receiving the watch, I
ordered a beautiful 18mm leather band from "F and E Buckles and Bands".
I'll post a photo with the leather band in the product photos above soon.
This watch comes in about 25 varieties and colors, so look into each of
them before deciding on a favorite. This particular model comes in 4-5
colors.
The see-through bottom was a nice touch, and you can see the jewels (well,
one anyway) inside, as well as the inner workings.
It winds smoothly when you move the watch side-to-side, or while wearing.
The crown allows setting date and day (1st click), and the time (2nd click)
and the watch cannot be wound via the crown, only by moving it side-to-side
or wearing.
In general, I would suggest skipping the date on an automatic watch, as it's
a small hassle to keep setting the date when the watch powers down, or at month
end, while making sure you're setting 12noon or 12 midnight. Much simpler to
have only the time. I have a quartz watch with a perpetual calendar, and it's
such a treat to know the date is always correct. But this watch is fun, warts
and all.
A tip when setting/changing the day by one day: roll the time around the dial
until the time passes midnight, so the date changes on its own, to ensure you're
not 12 hours off.
Great Watch November 22, 2009

this watch is excellent, I have it for 6 months and have no complaints, and to change the days you just have to pull the knob once, then turn down, and for the dates you have to turn up, try it.
Also gives you the option of placing the day in Spanish and English.
In addition, this watch is very comfortable and resistant

I've had this watch for 2+ years and wear it daily. When I first received it it would gain 3 minutes a day, but after a month or so, it settled down and now is off maybe 1 or 2 seconds a day. It looks great, is rugged, and very comfortable. Can't go wrong on this one, and you'll not be shopping for a battery every year.
 I don't think the watch is authenticate Seiko watch October 19, 2009

There is no user menu with it, and the box was of very low quality - its edge was so sharp that when I open the box, its top bended over and cut my finger! Neither the watch nor its box shows its original manufactured place, which is not Seiko style. I returned it.
