Product Information

The Seiko SKX013 might be your best bet if you are looking for high quality, affordable dive watch that’s perfect for smaller wrists. Although it’s currently not as popular as the SKX007, it does seem like there’s been a push for smaller watches in recent times. Perhaps we’ll see a surge of popularity for smaller dive watches like the SKX013 over the next few years. The SNK809 carries a military vibe overall that lands somewhere between a classic pilot’s watch and a rugged field watch, though the dial markings tilt further in the pilot direction.

But even so, there are still a few watch lovers and enthusiasts out there who do not really take this as the best watch for them, just like me. I hope you enjoyed having a read through of this extensive Seiko SNK809 review. As always let us know in the comments what you thought. I do love the idea of having the 5-minute intervals and the hour dual displayed, it’s something I don’t see done very often. SNK809 Sizing Before we start dissecting this bad boy, let’s get an idea of just where the Seiko 5 series came from. Seiko 5 Sports Automatic 6601-8930 – Nov 1965 – Photography by Worn & Wound It is best to buy Seiko 5 that will suit your lifestyle. However, when it comes to popularity, and if you are a beginner when it comes to Seiko Automatic watches, the best one to search and buy is the Seiko SNK809. It has a perfect size, extremely compact, changeable strap, and may even last 20 years or more. Where are Seiko 5 Watches Made?The SNK809 has a mass-produced movement, but it’s Seiko’s in-house 7S26 automatic movement with 21 jewels and a 40-hour power reserve. The general design of the watch isn’t exactly screaming for attention. It’s nice, just not as nice looking as other watches in this price range You don’t need to wind Seiko 5 since it is an automatic watch. In fact, winding the watch might break it. To keep the watch wound, you only need to wear the watch 5 to 10 hours a day. Which Seiko 5 to Buy?

There is no denying it, the Seiko 5 SNK809 is one of the most popular wristwatches ever made. The guys at Seiko have managed to push millions of these automatic manual timepieces over the years. This feature provides a power reserve of about 1.6 days, which is more than enough for everyday use. So the watch can store about two days’ worth of juice before you’ll need to wind up the watch again. This figure is on the high end since automatic watches tend to have a power reserve up to 48 hours. Day/DateSeiko 5 series is equipped with water resistance applications. However, for people who are a water sports enthusiast, you might want to search for a triathlon watchinstead.

The 7S26 automatic winding movement combines simplicity with reliability. It’s fitted with 21 jewels and beats at 21,600bph. With a standard deviation of -20/ +40 seconds a day, the 7S26 isn’t the most accurate of movements but is pretty reasonable for its’ price point.

Also, many of the Seiko watch review posts that I’ve read highly recommend it due to the efficiency and effectiveness of the said attribute.
