Product Description
SEIKO 5 - the meaning of the "5" A great marketer had the idea in the 70ies: to be a SEIKO 5, the watch has to have the following 5 (five) attributes (thus the name SEIKO 5): 1. Automatic, 2. Water resistant, 3. Shock resistant, 4. Date, 5. Day. Please note that some SEIKO 5's are in fact SEIKO 4's, if the "Day" function is omitted, then the Caliber 7S25 is used. The only difference to the normally found 7S26 is the omission of the day wheel. Also re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber. Again the 7S36 is similar to the most popular 7S26, yet it features 23 Jewels as opposed to the 21 Jewels in the 7S26. Please note that all these movements beat at a rate of 21'600 bph (beats per hour) or 6 bps (beats per second). As a comparison, an ETA 2824-2 beats at 28'800 bph or 8 bps. A Miyota 82xx beats at 21'600 bph. Why do I mention these three movements? Because they are found in probably 80% of all inexpensive automatic wrist watches. A market share that is huge, yet challenged these days (2006) by an increasing share of inexpensive China Made automatic movements An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch, typically with a balance wheel escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity, a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time

Great watch, good deal
By Steven K. Richards
This watch has a great classic look and a nice substantial feel. I dislike metal bands, so I purchased this (good price) with the intention of replacing the stainless with a leather band; after replacing it, I love the look and feel of it. The only negative about this watch is there is not much contrast between the color of the dial, the numbers, and the hands, making it difficult to read in dim light if the luminous markers are not "charged"; in normal light it reads fine and in the dark the luminous markers are very bright and easy to read, but dim by morning. Overall, I like it a lot and recommend it. It is a nice and affordable quality watch. The day after I bought mine the price went from $74.95 to $99.00???

By J. Patterson
This is a good watch. I tend to bump my watches a lot and sometimes forget to take my nice watches off when I am working outside. I have chainsawed and moved brush with this watch accidentally on and all it seemed to do was wind it more thoroughly. It is none the worse for wear. I have bumped it numerous times and it still works. I wouldn't try and crush it mind you but it is a durable watch for day to day activities and looks great in a formal setting too.

By K. Rosander
Outstanding value. Watch was ordered on Saturday night and arrived on Tuesday. Thats only two working day delivery with standard shipping. This watch is a good looking light weight and medium sized. The dial is easy to read and is very easy to set the time, day and month. No instructions were needed. The watch was ordered from JustCalculators.
