      Agree, but since it’s a “Seiko 5” it has to fall under the guidelines of having a day date function.

      It should have crown at 4 o'clock (ish) as well.
      I really don't understood why they changed that.
      Have couple of Seiko 5's and Boldr with crown at 4 and I really like it.

    I just got two of these for $127 each plus tax. (Thank you daughter who works at Kohls!). The 35 and 39. Put the 35 on a black silicone strap ant it reduces the height a bulk a lot. Had it about two weeks now. Still in honeymoon phase. About 10 secs/day slow.

      Hello, friend. Could you help me with the purchase link? Seems Seiko has stopped producing these and any I find online are above list price.

    I think this is modern Seiko 5 I like the most, and I would take it over the Hamilton. By the way are those the original spring bars? They look very secure and take full advantage of the drilled lugs 👍

    Actually, I feel hardlex is perfect for these field watches..
    1. It is more shatterproof than sapphire.
    2. It may acquire scratches which is cool for an affordable field watch that is meant to be used daily and in rough situation... but it is not as scratchy as acrylic which is a good thing

    I love the look of the watch but unfortunately I had a bad experience with the 4r36 movement. lost up to 25 seconds per day. I couldn't deal with that.

    Seiko doesn’t always Sapphire because they know when and when not to.
    For instance
    Not on lower line watches helps keep the cost down for them and the customer
    It’s a myth that sapphire doesn’t scratch or as easy.
    Hardex can look just as good when new.
    Hardex and mineral crystals in general when scratched can easily be polished back to original.
    Replacement is cheaper and sapphire or mods can often be an option.
    The Sapphire shatter and shards can lead to more damage to the dial and watch.

      Who told you hardlex can be polished? Unless you buy a dremmel and hit the entire crystal you ain't buffing hardlex. Give me acrylic any day. Grab a tube of polywatch and you're good to go. Otherwise I want sapphire.

    My husband and I don’t like sapphire crystal. I had a watch with sapphire crystal shatter on me. I’d much rather have a scratch than have it shatter again.

    Pieca unremarkable crap. You call this a "field watch"??? If you're going to die wearing a watch "in the field" it had better be a multifunction gem. I'd trust a survivalist manufacturer to deliver a suitable watch for the field before I'd trust a 2nd rate dandy watchmaker to design a survivalist watch.

      Hey no offense man. I am writing so you understand that this is a collector/enthusiast watch in a “field watch” style and look.
      This is not an actual modern field watch. Modern day actual-use field watches are Suunto, Garmin, G-shock type of digital functional watches with altimeter, barometer, compass, timer, stopwatch, etc functions.
      This is a collector/enthusiast watch that is in “field watch” category. They are inspired by WW1 and WW2 watches. They are intricate pieces. Functionally, they are worse than a $20 Chinese junk Quartz watch. Automatic watches are inaccurate, unreliable, harder to maintain, easier to break, and costs more than most junk Quartz watches.
      It is a collector’s watch. People buy and wear this because they have the old “field watch” look. No one is buying this as a survivalist watch.
