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

4 out of 5 stars Wrong Caliber Movement!   February 14, 2010
Tomasina M. Covell (Kalamazoo, MI United States)
A Seiko caliber 7S26 series movement is larger than the diameter of this watch case! These "little ladies" watches use Seiko caliber 4207 or 4206 movements and before that 4205 etc. Amazon's staff are just idiots that couldn't write a decent soup can label, and it's getting worse and worse!

There are a few negative reviews on this product. I would like to express my delight with this product and comment on the negative reviews. One consumer stated that the watch kept stopping when left off. That is the beauty of this watch. It runs on the power you give it by wearing the watch.
I am one of those people who kills watch batteries. My mother and I both do this. Something with the current in our bodies. I have been through many, many watches. I thought I might just be being buy cheap watches and spent quite a bit of money on a high quality watch about 5 years ago. I was mistaken though when that watch also died after about 12 days. I went through 34 watch batteries in those five years. I spent enough money on batteries to buy a new watch. Then I bought this Seiko.
This watch runs BECAUSE you wear it. So, do not be misinformed if you want to wear it occasionally and then leave it on the dresser or jewelry box. This needs to be worn to maintain it's time. However, I have found that mine lasts more than two days on the dresser and still is going. Then after giving it one little shake it starts right up and keeps perfect time. I think the reviewers that gave the watch a negative rating were naive when buying the watch.
This watch looks beautiful. Can be day or evening wear. Keeps time nicely. I especially like the day of the week/date function. Even when changing this function or re-setting the time..the watch keeps going. It does not turn off when the stem is pulled out. Another neat feature is that the second hand does not tick but rather it sweeps around the dial smoothly. Very neat. Even my most expensive watch did not do that.
The watch is quiet. You do not hear the winding mechanism. However, the case is slightly thicker than a normal watch because of the self wind mechanisms. Overall, I think the watch is a great buy. I would Highly Recommed it.

This is my second self-winding Seiko watch. I have had the first one for years and it has been dropped in water (water resistant) bashed into the side of the Kyak, gone snorkeling in the Cayman Islands and whatever could happen to it, it just keeps on tickin" but after ten years, it is not a "dress-up" watch, so I got a new one and this is even prettier than the first one. I love wearing it and still have a back up for rough duty!

a gift to give,....looks nice...a bit heavy...links removed at jewelers....time set...gift giving....well received...happy with purchase..
.
.
until the next day when the time & date needed to be reset, and the next day, and the next..

It's a nice watch if you don't take it off. If you remove it for any length of time over???..limit uncertain, maybe 12 hours? Your back resetting time/date all over again.

I wish I knew it's limitations before I purchased it, I would have looked elsewhere.
