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 .
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Seiko 5 series is a watch icon for the Cubans born in the 60s and the 70s . The kids wore SNK809s and the adults SNKL41s . All of us . Mine was black , on a rubber strap .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!😎
I work in construction and I have an SNKK27, for the price you can't get a better automatic watch that you dont have to worry about being gentle with. I have 3 NATO straps to change it up and couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Been browsing kohls and macys website looking for a good looking seiko collection to add to my casio. You just showed a ton of beautiful watches. Especially the leather bands. This is gonna be a pricey new hobby
Great video recently got my first seiko and first automatic watch it got the SNGZ15 in black and love it got the bug and already on the lookout for my next seiko
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.
I don't have the SNZH57 but I have the SNZH53 which is the one with the blue dial. It's just gorgeous. Also, forgot to mention so editing now, are you able to do an updated version of this video as the value of many of these have increased. Thanks for reading if you are! And great video, subscribed. 😄
Alessandro, thank you so much for your attention to detail and passion for watches. It speaks a lot to your character and love for watches to update your video! Recently found your channel, and love your stuff! Keep it up! So far I just have a casio gshock 5600, and want to expand my watch collection. I was debating between a dress and a diver, but leaning towards dress so I can wear for future weddings. Out of all the seikos, which dress watch would you recommend less than 200 dollars? PS I too have slender wrists 😂
Thank you so much! Not super easy to find a dress watch for under $200, but I would go Orient Bambino (V1, gen 2, rose gold), Tissot T-Classic, Seiko SNKL45 - all with a new leather strap.
@@TimedSquare Thank you for your response! What are your thoughts on wear dive watches in formal occasions? Between the Orient and Seiko dress watches you recommend, which would you pick between the two?
AAAAAAAARRRRGGGG - tough question. I know that day would come. If we're speaking just about the dial (and hands), the SNKS79 wins for me. But throw in the case and bracelet, and the SNKL41/45 wins.
Hi sir, can i ask about the SNXS79 can i replace it with a 20mm bracelet? Because i saw a jubillee bracelet seiko and i am thinking of replacing the bracelet is the 20mm the right size of bracelet for it?
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.
Fantastic video Alessandro! You knocked it out the park. I can add the Srpb96 it’s rose gold tone with a chocolate brown sunburst Dial and more the a hint of Tudor for that Black Bay vibe. I still can’t find one cheap enough to pull the trigger on though.
⚾️🏅🏆⌚️. 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....
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 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.
Nik 007 Timex for timekeeping since it’s a quartz movement and you really can’t beat that in terms of accuracy, but you gotta change it’s battery now and then and if the component is broken then the watch is fried for good. Seiko 5 for how cool it is, it’s an automatic movement so technically it can go on indefinitely as long as it is treated well and serviced. But it sometimes losses or gain time 20ish seconds a day.
If you just had to buy 1 of these , what would you buy? Snk803 or the snkl23k1 The goal is to able dress up and dress down (high versatility) This is for my first seiko collection and my first automatic watch, I own 2 quartz atm
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
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. 😎
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.
Thanks to this video, I now have 6/10 frim your list. Still contemplating if I should get the other 3 37mm 7S26 movements you recommend. The speedracer, snkl41 and the snxs79. Which should i go for first... Hmmmmm...
The snkk line is called the Speed Racer because one of the dial options is white grey and red, resembling Speed Racers car the Mach 5 from the animated series. Not because of "racing vibes"
If you want a proper divewatch on a slender wrist (mine is 6 inches) look for an Skx013. It is the smaller cousin of the much heralded skx007 and is very robust, yet not bulky 200m diver.
Love your intro always, these 5s are fantastic in value and beautiful. That SNXS79 is absolutely stunning, can’t wait for the shipment to reach me. Thanks Alexandro, you’re the man!
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
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.
Wow just wow...started to watching your video wearing the SNKL41 on my wrist and SNZF17 laying on my table... I guess my next SEIKO 5 will be SNK809 ;)
Great video! None of these can be hand wound? Can't imagine doing the shaking every time while putting them on, unless you wear them on a daily basis right?
Thank you! Most can't be hand wound. So yes, if they stopped, shake-start it is... I find it pretty fun actually! If you don't, you'll definitely need a watch winder.
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
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.
Some of those I have not seen. I have 3 Seiko 5's and everyone I can't adjust the bracelet, one micro adjustment if I take out a link its too small, if I leave it in it is too big. so the only thing I can do is change the bracelet. The ones that came with mine are the hollow link with keys to hold the links together, kind of junk really, and I have that one that looks like a dive watch Pepsi color too. Non can be wound or hacked. I love the Seiko Brand and I wish these lower end would come with the better movements. As you pointed out those are a bit more money. My first Seiko my Grandmother gave to me in around 1980 or 1981 when the digital craze was around, it had like 5 lines of display I really loved that watch, I still have it, of course, it does not fit and has an odd size bracelet I forgot the length. No idea if it works as it uses a battery and just found it after being missing since 1989 but I found it.
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.
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.

I LOVE MY SNKL23 ❤ Saving up for the SARB035 next 😄
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

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.
Casio destroys seiko on variety
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??
Love that SNLK41!! All the Seiko 5s on your list is amazing!
I love Seiko 5.... I have one here it's almost 12 yrs still in good condition.....
Wow
A nice bunch of "5's"that epitomize a budget touch of class on each watch.
Cheers !!

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for pulling all this together for us - much appreciated!
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.

This is one of your best videos yet. I really enjoyed watching the Seiko 5 line. Keep up the good work
The SNK809 with the black dial and silver bracelet does it for me !
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.
Not really underrated. I would say that Seiko is probably the most respected non-Swiss watch company.
Hello!! big fan of your channel...I'm thinking of buying another seiko and I was watching the seiko SRP513. what do you think, you can give a review
I just ordered a SNXS75K1 in a grey/black dial. I can't wait to see it in person.
I just bought my first seiko 5 and its a snkk27 but with a black gold dial, its also my first automatic watch as well :)
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.. 🤔

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?
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
Please tell me where can I get the SLK41. It seems to be out of stock everywhere!
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!
I'm getting my first watch and this video is really helpful as I get back to the shops to view which is right for me.

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.
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!
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.

AAAAAAAARRRRGGGG - tough question. I know that day would come. If we're speaking just about the dial (and hands), the SNKS79 wins for me. But throw in the case and bracelet, and the SNKL41/45 wins.
Hi sir, can i ask about the SNXS79 can i replace it with a 20mm bracelet? Because i saw a jubillee bracelet seiko and i am thinking of replacing the bracelet is the 20mm the right size of bracelet for it?
I finally decided to get SNXS79 after watching your video
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.
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!
SNZF17 is the working class submariner. I am wearing it right now and love it!

Great presentation! 👍
Great review. Thank you.
Very informative. 👍👍
Wow, lots of great choices. Nicely done.
Couldnt agree more with these picks
Thanks to this video, I now have 6/10 frim your list. Still contemplating if I should get the other 3 37mm 7S26 movements you recommend.
The speedracer, snkl41 and the snxs79. Which should i go for first... Hmmmmm...
Great video , thank you
Very helpful video.
The snkk line is called the Speed Racer because one of the dial options is white grey and red, resembling Speed Racers car the Mach 5 from the animated series. Not because of "racing vibes"
If you want a proper divewatch on a slender wrist (mine is 6 inches) look for an Skx013. It is the smaller cousin of the much heralded skx007 and is very robust, yet not bulky 200m diver.
Thanks to your video so amazing
Love your intro always, these 5s are fantastic in value and beautiful. That SNXS79 is absolutely stunning, can’t wait for the shipment to reach me. Thanks Alexandro, you’re the man!
Great job! Thanks for the info!!!
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
I don't think there's a green dial version of the SNXS79 ... but please don't delete the video ;-)
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.
Hahaha, you're right! I meant gray - God, I really need to sleep... The video stays, don't worry :) There's a funky gold dial too by the way! Cheers
I've SNXS79K all steel, which is really beautiful and comfortable all day use.
Wow just wow...started to watching your video wearing the SNKL41 on my wrist and SNZF17 laying on my table... I guess my next SEIKO 5 will be SNK809 ;)
You have a kind of a Seiko 5 trinity right there!
Great video! None of these can be hand wound? Can't imagine doing the shaking every time while putting them on, unless you wear them on a daily basis right?
Thank you! Most can't be hand wound. So yes, if they stopped, shake-start it is... I find it pretty fun actually! If you don't, you'll definitely need a watch winder.
Yes, looks like it will comedown to that :) Thank you for a quick reply!
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
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.
Some of those I have not seen. I have 3 Seiko 5's and everyone I can't adjust the bracelet, one micro adjustment if I take out a link its too small, if I leave it in it is too big. so the only thing I can do is change the bracelet. The ones that came with mine are the hollow link with keys to hold the links together, kind of junk really, and I have that one that looks like a dive watch Pepsi color too. Non can be wound or hacked. I love the Seiko Brand and I wish these lower end would come with the better movements. As you pointed out those are a bit more money. My first Seiko my Grandmother gave to me in around 1980 or 1981 when the digital craze was around, it had like 5 lines of display I really loved that watch, I still have it, of course, it does not fit and has an odd size bracelet I forgot the length. No idea if it works as it uses a battery and just found it after being missing since 1989 but I found it.
The seikonaut (snkk55 and variants) and quite unique and not too bad looking imo. Bummed bout the integrated bracelet tho
Amazing work as always!
Thank you Ruel!
Perfect, elegant. Thank you.
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.
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.
Your review are very detil with description, picture. & t'most exiting thing is_u can show abeautiful on low price w.🖒👍
Which Seiko 5 is the gold tone model? I saw one in a pawn shop for $100, and I'm thinking of getting it.
Can you tell me which model you're talking about?
I don't know the number, but It's one of the dress watches, and It's got a hold tone case, face and bracelet.
Instead of the snke01, go for the snkd99. It’s royal blue sunburst dial is mesmerising.
Hilarious hearing these prices compared to now. Should have stocked up 4 years ago!
I have the fifty fathoms version and a vintage 5 6119. Love them.
