Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNKL45K1

Product Information

This is generally a very simple procedure. We can do this for you, or you can get the watch adjusted locally. Option 1. Specify your wrist measurement and we will adjust it before being sent With that said, the Seiko 5s are not perfect. They have a hardlex crystal which isn’t as scratch resistant as sapphire, their included bracelets and straps are mediocre and sometimes downright uncomfortable, and the included 7S26 is reliable, albeit basic, and can be inaccurate. It has a 37mm diameter like many Seiko 5 models and a very condensed 42mm lug to lug dimension. This means it’ll fit comfortably on most people’s wrists without hanging over the edge, even on those with smaller wrists. Leather? NATO? RUBBER? No problem. This watch is a strap monster, and the neutral silver-white dial means you can really have fun experimenting with different colors as well.

When purchasing a watch which has a metal bracelet with adjustable links, we will gladly adjust the watch bracelet to fit your wrist before sending the watch to you - free of charge! Between this model alone, there’s the SNXS79K1 and SNXS79J1. A Malaysian and Japanese version, respectively. The Malaysian version (K1) has a Spanish day wheel, and the J1 has a Kanji date wheel. The differences end there (aside from the price). SNK355 vs SNXS79K This is especially helpful if you already own watches and watch straps with an 18mm width, so you can swap between them. It doesn’t last for an extremely long time, but fades out gradually and helps the watch be more legible in the dark and at night. Folded Link Bracelet I own both the SARB033 and the Star RE-AU0004B00B, and despite the fact that the SARB was known for its finish and attention to detail, side-by-side, the Orient Star’s level of finish is even more refined.The radiant blue sunburst dial of the SRPE53 compliments the polished bezel, and brushed bracelet, although this watch would look just as at home on a NATO strap or leather band. But over time, like most other things about this watch, not only did they grow on me, but I began to appreciate them more and more. That’s why I’ve bought this same exact watch THREE times. The Final Verdict I would definitely consider a case/guts swap with the SNKL23 bits shifted over to the SNKL4x case. Super-easy swap. Except they you're left with a case and dial combo you don't prefer. I did the same with an SNXS77, for the same reason - didn't like the case, so I swapped everything over to an SNKL4x case. Much better. Sold it just the same. Kept the SNKL41. With a case shape and rounded bezel very similar to that of the SARB, the SBDC087 is a watch that would work just as well for an outdoor adventure as it would when worn with a suit, paired with the right dress strap. While many of us might not need such an apparatus on our watch, one that our phones can likely do better for us non-divers, I like using it to time how much time is left for food in the oven, or how much time I have left in a parking meter.

They were made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Seiko and became the go-to suggestion for new watch collectors. As long as you take care of it, avoid excessively dropping or bumping it, and avoid water damage, a Seiko 5 can last a lifetime. It even has 200m water resistance, yet another functional improvement over the SARB, making it even better for everyday wear.

While the Seiko SARB033 and 035 have officially been discontinued, Seiko hasn’t stopped releasing amazing watches altogether. Worn with enough confidence and with the right outfit, almost any watch can become a “dress watch.” Still, a few commandments must be adhered to. You’re going to want a smaller case, for starters. It should also have a slimmer profile. And though traditional wisdom points to a leather strap as appropriate for a dress watch, we evolve and we move on. Stainless now works just as well.

It helps that it’s so light and weightless, making it good to wear in warmer summer months. It also surprisingly doesn’t tug on my arm hairs like some other cheap bracelets tend to. SNXS79 Strap Choices and Suggestions

The SNKL45J2, SNKL45K2 and SNKL45P2 models, if they exist, would have a different band style or material. Perfect for those like myself who prefer a smaller, more traditionally-sized dress watch. This is also a great dress watch for those with smaller wrists. Seiko is one of the most prolific watch brands in the world. Its quality materials, best-in-class movements, and largely approachable prices are some of the key factors contributing to the success of Japan’s oldest watchmaker.
