Seiko SNZG09K1

Watch collecting starts here – I bought this watch in September 2020, so I have had it for almost a year. I wanted an automatic watch, but most are expensive. I actually thought the sub $200 price was too good to be true, but honestly, it looks as good as the day I bought it. Setting the watch is achieved by a two stage crown, pull it out a bit and you can set the day and date. Turn it one way for the day, the other for the date. Easy peasy. Pull it out all the way for time setting and away you go. The other thing I like is that at night, if it’s exposed to light, the numbers and hands are easy to see and glow for a reasonable amount of time. I also like the look of it. For some reason watch makers think us guys are either at the casino or scuba diving. There are so many styles in the Seiko 5 range that anyone could find one they like. Finally, I like mechanical things so I like that you can see the mechanism through the back of the watch. I would definitely recommend a Seiko 5.
