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

Product Information

But what makes this one of the best Seiko watches, particularly in the chronograph category, is that it automatically receives radio signals to keep the time and calendar precise.

I can’t hear you over the coolness of my radio-controlled watch.” You, at the office or some party.** The first thing you’ll notice is the unique shape of the case, which is a sort of rounded rectangle. Further drawing the eye in is the stunning blue dial that keeps the vintage vibes coming. Under the hood, its mechanical automatic movement is going to last. And keep lasting. And last some more after that. Seiko 5 watches are durable, and their 7S26/4R36 movements are reliable workhorses known to withstand some abuse and survive it.

The dial is an anthracite grey, similar to the SNXS79, which is rich and complex and changes colors slightly in different light scenarios. The watches in Seiko’s flagship collections don’t compare to the quality of Rolex timepieces—then again, they’re not really supposed to. The craftsmanship that goes into Grand Seiko watches, however, is perfectly capable of rivaling Rolex. While the watches are great, the included bracelet or strap on the older 5 models leaves a bit to be desired. The metal bands are often hollow feeling, hair-pulling, and difficult to adjust. When buying an older 5, you might want to consider that you might want to spend a bit extra to find a replacement strap down the line. Seiko 5 Sports is usually reserved for the Seiko 5s with at least 100 meters of water resistance, and the slightly upgraded 4R36 movement. Regular Seiko 5s more often have only 30 or 50 meters of water resistance, and often include the 7S26 movement.

This is your chameleon Seiko. The one you can wear to a wedding, the office, drinks after the office, on a date, anywhere. Another reason it takes the top spot on my list of the best Seiko watches is its price, which likely won’t scare off even the newbiest of watch newbies. To most people, “Seiko” and “budget” are already synonymous with one another. And while the iconic brand does produce dozens of high-end timepieces at the top end of the price spectrum, the efficient construction behind Seiko’s mainstream collections results in largely affordable price points throughout its catalog.

Generally, the older Seiko 5 models are smaller, around 37mm, and less expensive (although prices have been creeping up recently due to exclusivity).
