No other company can compete with Seiko on there variety, just there Seiko 5 line is bigger then most companies whole lines , almost all of there watches have that Seiko mojo from the seventies but with a modern flare
Love Seiko, but hate the 5 on the dial. Have a sea urchin, but will only go for regular Seikos in the future. Would prefer my SKX over any of the new Seiko 5 substitutes, even with the inferior caliber. Since i wear a Samurai, the prospex-line is my Seiko limit.
Damn it you just blew the lid on a model Ive only found in stock in very few places, better get it now before they're gone lmao. EDIT: phew just ordered it, I can now say you forgot about the red Seiko 5 turtle
The Seiko 5 Turtle is very cool. I have the black version on the Bracelet. Those cushion cases are great. Seiko does a bad job promoting he Seiko 5. There are a bunch of newer Seiko 5s with the 4r36 movment but there is limited info on them. I found out about them thru UA-cam or eBay/Amazon. The Seiko 5 Baby Ice Monster is another col newer Seiko 5.
You should do a Top 10 Orient 3 Star watches...there are literally hundreds of those models. I started off with Seiko 5's but gravitated towards 3 stars and now have more 3 stars than Seiko 5's.
@@mikewysko2268 If only Citizen would still produce their Eagle 7's we'd then have a 3-5-7 faceoff. But I think the Seiko 5's are slightly higher quality in my experience. Not the timekeeping themselves, but the finishing, bracelet, and the see-through case backs that many Seiko 5's have in addition to their slightly harder hardlex crystals that they use.
Seiko 5 always is my favorite, because they got a common function : all automatic ,and day , date display, plus 100m water resistant and rotary bezel if you get dive style in sports series. If you have a Ferrari , you still want have fun with a 86 some time ,same reason : you own a Rolex, but a seiko5 is perfect gear for your fishing, boating and camping .
Just rewatching this, but the watch you showed at the snkk27 intro @3:44 is not the snkk27, but the snk371. They are extremely similar but the snk371 is my choice because it is slightly smaller at around 36.5mm and has an 18mm lug width vs the 38.5 mm and 20mm of the snkk27. The bracelet on the snk371 is more of a jubilee bracelet as well.
csmcrckrs I think you’re looking for the SNX447 it’s a real beauty! Take a look at the Seiko 5 finder at watchsleuth.com a really good resource including many older models too.
I have a Seiko SNKL43 and SRPD55 in my collection and both are amazing. You can't go wrong with the Seiko :) get yourself a dressier one, a diver style one and add one digital Casio on top of that and that's all you need when it comes to watches :)
It,'s an excellent video. I like Seiko 5 so much. Better in titanium. Congratulations. Beforehand thank you very much I give you 5 stars. I write you from Pereira (Colombia). See you then. Bye bye.
Seiko. the most underrated watch company in the world. Totally nuts the quality you get for the price, makes Swiss made watches seem like you getting robbed just by trying them on let along buying them.
Subscribed! Great channel wow. I have a really small wrist and most of my watches doesn't fit well (I got those as gift and never bought a watch for myself). Your channel rekindles my search for a small watches. Just a request can you do something similar for Citizens top 10 like Seiko. Great informative videos. Thanks again!
Deja Vu! Great again. My snk809 is one of my most worn watches. Great looking, Very easy to read at a seconds glance and super comfortable as well as indestructible. This watch should be in everyone’s collection.
I have an SNXS77K (blue dial). It was given to me as a gift. I really like the style, it's my first automatic watch. Too bad, I feel like my wrist is too big for that watch (around 7" wrist). Coming from wearing a G-Shock, I was not used to wearing small watches. But I still wear it sometimes. Now Seiko Samurai (black dial) is my daily watch.
Great subject and list! I’d like to put in a vote for the overlooked SKZ209J - Vintage Explorer style dial, beautiful polished case, drilled lugs, solid end links, 200m resist, all done-up in the deepest, darkest blue possible...Damn, she’s fine!😎
Good day Sir! I just bought a Seiko 5 online at around $170 and i really doubt if this watch is legit🤦♂️ it is a Ref. SNKP14K1 Cal. 7S26, Automatic and Water Resist 50M base on the label provided. Please help me sir.😔🙏
Ciao Alessandro I'd like to ask you something, in the last image of the Seiko SNK01 you see an identical model with the word Sports and 100 mt instead 50 mt., can you tell me which reference it is?I follow you from Italy,sorry for my English.Thank you.
Water resistance 30 metres = Avoid the rain The SNKK27 should be called the Ikea watch. You need to be a Swede or love working for Ikea to wear that abomination.
We Indians r poor, so the most popular Seiko watches were the Seiko 5s in the 80s 90s.. ... . But now the sale of Seiko has gone down. People are buying Casio chronograph watches more
Just ordered a Seiko SNKM87K1 should come tomorrow hopefully anyone got/had one? going to change the strap for either a mesh or brown leather I think not decided yet.
⚾️🏅🏆⌚️. Knocked it out of the park once again! Nice list! What Seiko 5 GMT do you know of that doesn’t have a divers feel.... more of a dress casual style?!? Thanks for everything you do....
Nice selection. BTW the first picture of SNZH57 at 3:00 is from my Instagram profile ;-) Seiko really offers great watches for little money. I absolutely love SNXS79 and it's dial. You can spend hours just looking at it.
Hey and thank you so much for dropping by! Did I list your Instagram account like I should in the credits (in the description)? That SNXS79K is just crazy... I really have to work on finding a great replacement bracelet or strap! Thanks for watching
It's nicknamed the Fifty-Five Fathoms because it is water-resistant to a depth of...55 fathoms. The original Blancpain was named the 50 Fathoms for that same reason.
The only thing i dislike about the snkl is the crown it’s kinda big unlike the snxs and snkk it is recessed, if it is on 3 o clock position i will definitely buy the snkl41
One could wear any of these watches and still command respect. Why would anyone buy a Daniel Wellington or MVMT or other noddy watches that cost more money?
i just recently interested to buy my 1st automatic watch, im bit interested in fossil skeleton watch at 1st(thankfully i dont buy it because it got 42/44 mm dial, and my 6" wrist cannt used it. at this time 1:28 SNKL43 (Blue SNKL41) really make me convince what i wanna buy, right away. Just need to buy brown reddish strap o.O i really dont need to watch the rest but SNK803 (Cream SNK809) a bit stand out from the rest of SNK809 coz of black, watch hand and number.
Guys, how hard is it to adapt to wearing an automatic watch after wearing quartz for years. How often do you need to adjust the time again (because of accuracy not because it ran out of power)? Forgot to add, great video Alessandro!
Really depends on the specific watch. I have two seiko 5s with the 7s26 and one is about +16s/d the other one about +2s/d. You can always have the watch regulated to run pretty accurate if you don’t get lucky out of the box. If you can afford it, get a watch with hacking as that really reduces the amount of crown turning when resetting ;) For me the charm of mechanical is well worth the lack of accuracy compared to quartz.
Agram : there is a special connection with an automatic. YOU are the power source. Depending on the calibration of your watch, it could be off by 30-40 sec/day or within 10sec/day. You can always adjust it accordingly. If it’s slow, set it a little fast in the morning and you’ll average on time for the day. Unless you have an extremely time sensitive schedule, a minute off after a few days shouldn’t effect you. I actually enjoy setting my watch, it lets me interact with my watch. Quartz’s are good and accurate but boring for the owner. Good luck and enjoy!
I wear a Casio F91w on my right wrist for work... I have the hour chime on so I check the time often on the hour... But because I also wear an automatic on my left I take a little bit of joy each time on the hour when I get to see the sweeping seconds hand go by, and by how many seconds out it is. Over a number of days I’m often surprised how good my 7s26 and 4r35/ 4r36 powered watches stay consistent at less than 30 sec off for days on end. 😎
Their watch sizes are perfect! The 42.5 mm Skx case is just right i love the way it fits with short lugs! plus there's plenty off smaller dress Seiko's out their already..
I just want to point out the SRPB96K is absolutel unique and underrated. I bought one because it matched my stethoscope, put on a chocolate rubber strap, and now it's my work watch! It's got a beautiful rose gold/copper body and chocolate dial. Absolutely unique and I get tons of compliments on it.
I have a SNZG15 and I do love it. It fits perfectly on my 7 inch wrist. I was trying SNKL41 since i do love their look. But unfortunately it ends up to be very small for my wrist( So far SNZG15 is the only automatic watch I have and do need. I will upgrade them to MH36 movement one day once I will find a local watchmaker.
Hey I just bought the SNKL41 on your recommendation :) I have compared numerous models and the last 2 I had considered is this and the SNKK87 which is also beautiful and had a 20mm strap (instead of the 18mm of the SNKL41). Finally, I decided that I preferred the dauphine hands that makes the SNKL41 look so much like a Grand Seiko. Any opinions regarding 18mm vs 20mm watch strap on a 6 inch male wrist?
Great video. The 5 series is sooo nice and i absolutely love both my snkl41 and snxs79, infact the very first picture is my very watch hheehe. Thanks for the inspiration Alessandro, keep it up
Just Me as far as I’m aware there are no different grades of movement with Seiko. So a 7s26 is just that. A 4r36 is just like any other 4r36. None of them go through any kind of adjustment or regulation before leaving Seiko. That said some are made in Japan others elsewhere.
I own watches with 7S26 and ETA2824. Both have sub grades, ETA 2824 have ranks from entry (Tissot) to high (Tudor). In the mid grade (Labo), ETA 2824 is considered good +10 Sec per day. Seiko 7S26C (Low ) has accuracy of +8 Sec per day. They are not far from COSC standard.

Since i wear a Samurai, the prospex-line is my Seiko limit.
Casio destroys seiko on variety
And now Im into watches :p
My fav Seiko 5s are : SNKL41 and the legendary SNKL23.
What is the female version of the SNKL41?
Sal Ruffino not really the female version since they both seem like unisex watches but the snka01
I have the snkl43, dark blue dial.. Looks luxurious on a dark brown/oxblood leather strap.
I usually wear my 43 on a sporty nato strap, but leather looks nice too!
Love the dark brown strap too on the snkl45! Where did you source it from??
Nice work - well considered set of watches.
But nobody seems to notice that the snkk has 2 different caseshapes under the same reference number... I wonder why that is.. 🤔
Damn it you just blew the lid on a model Ive only found in stock in very few places, better get it now before they're gone lmao. EDIT: phew just ordered it, I can now say you forgot about the red Seiko 5 turtle
How can I buy these watches from Uganda
What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for pulling all this together for us - much appreciated!
Great video! I love my SNKL45 (was surprised to see it's going for $152 now on Amazon, even though I bought it for $60 on Amazon a few years ago).
got mine today!! bought here from the philippines. for maybe around $80
The Seiko 5 Turtle is very cool. I have the black version on the Bracelet. Those cushion cases are great.
Seiko does a bad job promoting he Seiko 5. There are a bunch of newer Seiko 5s with the 4r36 movment but there is limited info on them. I found out about them thru UA-cam or eBay/Amazon.

Alternatively, you can save a little more for a Seiko SARB033 or SARB035. Best watches at their price range.
I completely agree, even if they cost 3 to 4 times more and they're harder and harder to find new with guarantee.
I have the SNKE51, blue dial. I got it for about $85 a few months ago. It’s a little more now but well worth it, IMO.
Seiko 5 always is my favorite, because they got a common function : all automatic ,and day , date display, plus 100m water resistant and rotary bezel if you get dive style in sports series.

I thought they were Horlicks crystals until I realised that it's actually hardlex crystal.
To me I think snkl23 looks the best

I love Seiko 5.... I have one here it's almost 12 yrs still in good condition.....

So my time machine *did* work!
Welcome on October 21, 2015! :)
Honourable mention for the Snkl23 - I was able to get 1 for 70 Euros recently, so they may come back in stock again :)
HA! I don't mention it because it's super hard to find online but this is good news!
nice vid dude. I thought that SNXS79K wouldn't appear, but it seems like its also your top 1 pick. that seiko5 is a must buy.

Hilarious hearing these prices compared to now. Should have stocked up 4 years ago!
I will never understand why people omit the second hand movements... Literally boggles my mind...
You remind me of Felipe Massa the Brazilian used to be GP driver.
Hello i want this please
Bought the Snkl41 after watching your review, really love it, thanks a lot! :)
My pleasure Sebastien, I love it a lot too... too bad it's not mine!

Cool watches i'm a fan of Seiko watches i have one myself which costed a mint
Nobody talking about Seiko snxj89. This one and the snxs79k are my favorite 5's.

Do they make any new Seiko 5 watches that are under $200?
Nice nice selection, thank you for your searche...
That SRPC61 is 🔥🔥🔥
My favourite out of these is SNKL45 such a great looking watch dressed up or down. SNKE01 probably close second with a more sporty vibe.
PLease please someone out there please tell damn SEIKO to make smaller watches HUGE NO TO SEIKO TO BEING HUGE
Their watch sizes are perfect! The 42.5 mm Skx case is just right i love the way it fits with short lugs! plus there's plenty off smaller dress Seiko's out their already..
I have Seiko 5 and I'm happy to have Seiko 5......
Great watches for guys with small wrists. I wore a couple of these back in high school. These days I go for bigger watches with presence.
Couldnt agree more with these picks
The snkl41 is a very nice watch it very very nice the way
SNZF17 is the working class submariner. I am wearing it right now and love it!
How many mm its snk41 lug ?? ... thank !
I just want to point out the SRPB96K is absolutel unique and underrated. I bought one because it matched my stethoscope, put on a chocolate rubber strap, and now it's my work watch! It's got a beautiful rose gold/copper body and chocolate dial. Absolutely unique and I get tons of compliments on it.
That's what I'm thinking, buying a SRPB96k and change it to brown strap
I have a SNZG15 and I do love it. It fits perfectly on my 7 inch wrist. I was trying SNKL41 since i do love their look. But unfortunately it ends up to be very small for my wrist( So far SNZG15 is the only automatic watch I have and do need. I will upgrade them to MH36 movement one day once I will find a local watchmaker.
Seiko looks terrible putting the 5 on dial
Hey I just bought the SNKL41 on your recommendation :) I have compared numerous models and the last 2 I had considered is this and the SNKK87 which is also beautiful and had a 20mm strap (instead of the 18mm of the SNKL41).
Finally, I decided that I preferred the dauphine hands that makes the SNKL41 look so much like a Grand Seiko.
Any opinions regarding 18mm vs 20mm watch strap on a 6 inch male wrist?
I prefer the 18mm, it looks more refined for me. It's like the strap doesn't pop up more that the watch body.
Thanks to your video so amazing
For me the best Seiko five is the Monster.
Wish I could buy snke01
Sir I m jobless and poor man please help me
Love the snk71😍🥰😘
Nice video Alessandro, keep up the nice content. I want buy the snkl41 but should I pay the premium and buy the “made in Japan” version?
Am i the only who wants to buy all of them ?
How come I do not see the legendary Seiko Sur307 in this list :(
Because it's not a Seiko 5. Still a great watch!
do you have to reset the Date every month?
A Value for money time piece..
I own the Blue variant of the SNKE01, the SNKD99K1 and its really beautiful. If you want a Mini Grand Seiko SBGE283, it will be a great choice!
Great video. The 5 series is sooo nice and i absolutely love both my snkl41 and snxs79, infact the very first picture is my very watch hheehe. Thanks for the inspiration Alessandro, keep it up
Aaaaah this is so cool :) Thank you for the great pictures, and for watching!

Sorry, is not the last image.

Snzf17 sea urchin ftw
Which is better gold or steel color?
So all these have the same movement? Are there any variations of 7s26? Lower and higher end? Like with the ETA 2824?
Just Me as far as I’m aware there are no different grades of movement with Seiko. So a 7s26 is just that. A 4r36 is just like any other 4r36. None of them go through any kind of adjustment or regulation before leaving Seiko. That said some are made in Japan others elsewhere.
I own watches with 7S26 and ETA2824. Both have sub grades, ETA 2824 have ranks from entry (Tissot) to high (Tudor). In the mid grade (Labo), ETA 2824 is considered good +10 Sec per day. Seiko 7S26C (Low ) has accuracy of +8 Sec per day. They are not far from COSC standard.
Mine has the 7S26c movement.
