5.0 out of 5 stars Great daily driver, love this watch.

J.G. · 28 May 2024

Absolutely love this watch. I wear it all the time now. It's very comfortable and tells the time, so it fulfills the brief. 😂With regards to size, I removed a couple of links to make it fit, but there is also a micro-adjustment on the catch, which gave me a perfect fit.The automatic mechanism to wind the watch is great. I am not an active person in terms of exercise daily, like jogging etc, but the watch is always running just from moving around at home. The specs say it will loose/gain some seconds per day, but I don't really notice it as any accuracy issues. As some months are shorter than others, you need to adjust the date we every couple of months, so I use this event to adjust the time as well. So the performance is great.The orange face really pops. So vibrant. The indices are coated in a glow in the dark material that works very well at night making the time clearly ledgeable/readable both night and day. The bezel has a very satisfying click that only goes one way. 👍Overall, this is a great little watch at the price point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch for the price

This is the 4th Seiko I own along with a Kinetic SQ100, Monster Gen 1 and King Samurai and I really like it. I've never owned an SKX so I wasn't going to compare but they are two different watches. SKX is a divers watch and the 5 Sports is more a fashion piece. End of.The orange sport is a very nice piece. The photos don't do it justice, the dial really 'pops' in the light and there is this metallic orange on the bezel markers that really compliment the dial. The uni-directional bezel is lovely and firm on the turn and absolutely zero play. The crystal is Hardlex (Seiko's own) and I'm not bothered it isn't sapphire. My 8 year old Monster has Hardlex and there isn't a scratch on it and that watch has taken bashing.The applied indices and logo look really good and match really well with the gold hour and minute hands. However, I fully expect the bezel to scratch easily as I believe it's aluminium and it's a soft metal. Lume is typical Seiko which means it's brilliant. The overall readability and legibility is fantastic, very easy to read.Build quality is typical Seiko in that for every good there is probably a not-so-good! The chapter ring and bezel line up perfectly, dial is clean and there are no scratches or marks anywhere. The only real downside is the bracelet which I was expecting to be like my Monster and Samurai but it's cheaper and quite squeaky. I'll be changing to a NATO strap when I can because the squeak is very annoying. That isn't to say it's not comfy, it's very comfy on the wrist and with 4 levels of micro adjustment you can get the perfect fit.Inside is the 4R36 (same as the 4R35 in my King Samurai but has day/date) so it isn't amazing but it's good enough. Hacking and handing winding are doable if those things are important to you.Overall, I really like it and will probably daily drive this as much as I can. I'll definitely be buying more of the 5 Sports to expand the collection.*Update - switched to a nato strap. Looks epic*

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant watch from seiko.

What can I say about this great Seiko, it arrived in the original box with a lovely blue nato strap, the watch itself is a slightly newer version of the ever popular seiko skx line with a newer movment which can be hand wound and hackable. The bezel and finish of the watch is amazing for the money.If you are looking for a great entry level divers style watch then this is going to fit the bill very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Seiko Sith - Fantastic Looking Automatic All Rounder!

M.C. · 19 February 2021

The media could not be loaded. This is a great looking watch. I got the black and red version (SRPD83K1) as I wanted something different to the norm. It looks fantastic, like something designed by Kylo Ren, Darth Maul or Darth Vader! It is my first Seiko but not my first automatic watch. I've included a number of photos as well as a video (including lume shot) which I hope you find helpful.Much has been written on watch sites/forums etc about the fact this isn't a proper divers (no screw down crown and only 100 metres water resistance) but honestly I couldn't care less. This looks great, has enough water protection for 99.9% of things most people do and it's also been accurate and only needs adjusting every so often.I initially thought that this version wouldn't have any lume because... well it's red... but I was wrong. Charge it up via sunlight/light and the red markers, hands and second hand lollipop counterweight all glow a orange/pink colour. It again looks great but sadly doesn't last that long into the night before fading... but still as I was expecting none I'm pleased with it.The case is a smooth black and the unidirectional bezel (with non-lumed aluminium insert) turns with a reassuring weight and a damped clicking. There is little to no back-play on it either. The applied indices and hands are excellent and the chrome/metal surrounds catch the light really well so that the dial is legible in almost all daylight conditions. The crown pulls out nicely, hacking the watch (stopping the second hand) and finding the date and time adjust positions is easy. You can also use it to hand wind the watch to get it going if you so wish. Alternatively a little shake should be enough.At the rear of the watch is a display caseback so that you can see the automatic movement and jewels doing there thing. I love showing this to my youngest daughter who is fascinated by it, especially the jewels!Seiko use their propriety Hardlex crystal rather than Sapphire crystal and that would always be my one complaint as Sapphire will not scratch over time. That said with a bit of care the Hardlex should be fine and not an issue.The strap.... is good to OK. The length is great for my 7.25 inch wrist with just enough left over to fold back into the metal strap loops. It's comfy to wear but the nylon could have been a bit better quality. It feels thin. Still you get a Seiko signed buckle and all the metalwork is black to match the case.I'm very pleased with this and the price when I bought it was fantastic. Only downside is that I now want the all black version!

Großartige Uhr zum unschlagbaren Preis

H.G. · 2 November 2021

Ich habe die Uhr für mich selbst gekauft, um eine günstige, unauffällige und zuverlässige Alltags- und Freizeituhr zu haben.Ich habe mich für das „Avocado“ Modell mit grünem Zifferblatt und dem Grünen NATO-Band entschieden.+ Die Uhr trägt sich sehr angenehm+ Super übersichtlich und leicht ablesbar+ Für mittlere bis Grosse Handgelenke nach meiner Bewertung optimal+ unauffälliger zuverlässiger Begleiter.+ der orangene Sekundenzeiger ist ein toller Akzent und passt gut zur gesamten Optik, ich sehe mir die Uhr gern an+ Wasserdichtigkeit kann ich insofern bestätigen, dass ich die Uhr spaßeshalber schon mal zum Tauchen dabei hatte und kein Wasser eindrang. Auch wenn es keine Taucheruhr per Definition ist, ist sie definitiv wasserdicht genug für alles was einem so im Alltag begegnet.+ die Krone lässt sich gut bedienen+ die Lünette ist sauber gefertigt und dass Klickgeräusch ist sehr angenehm+ Sichtboden gibt den Blick auf das „Herz“ der Uhr frei. Auch wenn es kein besonderes Uhrwerk ist, ist es doch hübsch anzusehen.+ die Leuchtelemente sind groß und auch ausreichend lang im Dunkeln noch zu erkennen. Für die Preisklasse Top!Alles in allem eine tolle und taugliche Uhr für Alltag und Freizeit!Was mir nach einiger Zeit des Tragens fehlt:> keine „echte“ Taucheruhr, d.h. Keine Leuchtmarkierung auf der Lünette, „nur“ 100m wasserdicht, keine verschraubbare Krone> Kein entspiegeltes Glas> ich persönlich nutze die Uhr Hauptsächlich an einem Kautschukband das ich mir zusätzlich gekauft habe. Ich finde es passt besser, aber das ist mein persönlicher Geschmack.

Rien à redire, très joli produit

Seiko 5 Sport, le top dans ce segment de prix

T. · 7 June 2021

Difficile de faire mieux dans cette gamme de prix. Pour moins de 270€ Seiko nous propose une automatique de très bonne facture, très agréable à porter et à regarder. La version à cadran orange discrètement métallisé ne passe pas inaperçue mais ce n'est pas "too much". Sinon, il y a d'autres finitions plus sobres. A l'acheteur (U.S.) mécontent qui se plaignait que sa date était en français, il lui suffisait de faire un tour de couronne de plus (!) puisque le jour peut s'afficher au choix en anglais ou en français sur le disque rotatif.Bref, un excellent choix que l'on ne regrette pas. Attention ce n'est pas une plongeuse donc étanchéité oui mais à condition de rester pas loin de la surface.
