This is extremely similar to the Hamilton Khaki's mechanical. I only say that since it's my main daily beater. This Seiko is cool look to it. Simplistic. It isn't flashy, yet, retains that level of interest towards older souls. I think these kinds of pieces stand out more than flashy stainless steel bracelets, and all of that jazz, which to the untrained eye, seem like a WalMart watch. Wearing such a piece shouldn't make some form of modernized statement about how technological advanced you are or the amount of money you have, but, that you appreciate the pure and rich history of a movement enough to wear it, knowing that you can rely on just good old-fashioned engineering. Those are the people I like having a chat with whenever I see one in our shop. I digress. :-)

Hey man, I’ve been checking out your earlier videos and I noticed you’ve come a long way in videography and just production in general. Kudos on the good work!

I like the look of this new Seiko Watch. Great review, man. I have the SNK809 in the blue and beige. The accuracy is quite good. I swap out the bands for Multiple "Looks". I'm going to think about this new one. Thanks again

Great review, very thorough. Made me look at the watch I had not thought of for my grandson or around the yard.

Excellent watch! I unintentionally came across the 36+ mm version. Better than I expected. I had to buy it. I actually thought it was a 38mm till I measured it days later. It's super accurate. For the past 4 days I can't tell if it's been off by even a second!

Just found your channel. Great to see a new channel coming into the light. Gave the quick subscribe! Nice video. Great showcase of the updated Seiko field watch. My SNK809 was my first watch into this hobby of watch collection. Still enjoy it but the strap was awful. Cheers

This has been be daily watch for a long time now. I wear it all day every day. Absolutely love it. Sometimes I feel like it looks similar to a IWC Big Pilot which is my grail watch. So, it just makes me love it more.

Nice review! I wish Seiko would use the syringe hour and minute style hands from the SNK809. Hamilton uses the syringe style also. Never been a fan of sword hands, but otherwise, a great looking watch!

Nice video 😄I do miss the second hand on my smartwatches. The physical hands rotating on a watch face are just a satisfying movement of time...

I was waiting to see a review on what it looked like in the dark to see what glows on it. Maybe next time. Thank you for the video.it was nicely done.

Thank you so much for having a side by side comparison to the SNK809. I love my SNK but can’t help but think it’s a tad bit small for me. Time to convince the wife to let me get this beauty haha

That Hamilton is gorgeous! Oh and the Seikos too.

Thank you for sharing and definitely getting one 👍🏼

I prefer the size of my SNK805, the water resistance is its only downfall. I never needed hacking or handwinding on my automatic watches. The 7s26c has never caused me to be late for work.

Really like the SNK 809. I have had three and have sold them to get the "upgrade" to the 4r35/36 and 6r15. But the owners user guide suggests that you do not play golf. tennis or any active sports with. Same with my few month old Hamilton watches with the H 10 movement. The same with my Hamilton Khaki mechanical with the 2802 manual wind. I had the manual wind regulated to 0 seconds +or-, 0 beat error and 305 amplitude. Played nine holes of golf with the mechanical and now off + or - 3 seconds, beat error .3 and amplitude of 290. That is just nine holes. Played nine holes with a Seiko 4r35. Took it out of adjustment. Played with my Seiko SARB 033. Now the amplitude will not go over 220. So there is something to be said for the old 7s26. I played twenty wears with one and did not phase it. This is all documented with a Time Grapher. So if you do anything more rough than watch You Tube videos with these newer albeit "modern" movements with nice features heed the user manual instructions. Or you will end up with some watch box queens that will be damaged with "harsh" use. I have played with a 1948 Hamilton manual wind (748 movement), a 1953 Bulova automatic and a 1960 Hamilton automatic (Certina) with no issues. Remember the original Seiko 5 was intended for the working person that did not have a plethora of watches. Only one to wear at work, play and dress. Heretofore the only brands of automatic that have said specifically it is OK to play golf with is Rolex and Omega. A chat assistant at Longenes told me that was OK but cold not find anything in their user manual that would support that statement. So these rough and tumble "field watches" may not be suitable to play anything more active than chess. So don't plan on playing polo with your JLC Reverso. It recommends against iy in the manual.

Theo here...I've been going through a lot of your video's (new sub) and I am blown away as there is a ton of great content. You are deeply knowledgable and your videos are thourogh varied and wide-ranging. (Hey Anthony did I say that just like you wrote it? When do I get my free watch)

Regarding the reflexions you should use a polarizer filter on the camera. Btw, thanks for the good review!

Love it. If I could have all my watches have a domed glass I would choose to. Great review, thanks for letting us know about this watch I am very tempted, cheers!

I want this watch. Nice quick review of it.

Glad you mentioned NATO as my favourite watch is the 7A28-7120 - £250 in the 80s and now - well - stratospheric for a good one.

just discovered your channel, great video 👌👌

Really like the Hamilton watch, especially with the wristband you have on it. Did you get it with the watch or fit it yourself separately later on? Which band is that exactly? Thanks!

Great video! Thank you so much for sorting out all the model numbers. The picture you put on your video was very helpful in for me to order the correct color/option of this Seiko 5. Like, Subscribe, Notify !~! Brilliant Job.

Nice video, I have the older 7s26 made in Japan version. Wonder what the lume looks like on yours?

I love this non-pretentious format. Great video!

Got mine today. My first automatic watch. Saved up for it. The lume on the hands is blue on this model! Fantastic!

A very handsome and affordable field watch. Looking forward to your full review-- I think you are gonna love it like your SNK809. Hey, what strap brand is on your SNK809? That color looks nice too! Thanks for sharing!

Looks nice. I just wish it did not come with the day/date complication.. Need to replace my 6 month old Hamilton Field Watch that just broke. The Hamilton was perfect but I now suspect the movement's reliability. Just want a watch with a hand wound mechanical movement with no added complications and is not so expensive you can wear it everyday without getting a heart attack everytime you bump your wrist.

Good quality review thank you for sharing

I like the domed crystal, but is it glass or sapphire?

Man, the 4r36 is a stellar movement.

Got my olive green 4R36 yesterday and did a test with the atomic clock, it was fast by 6 seconds in a day - maybe too enthusiastic on the therapeutic hand wind!

I wore a small Citizen field watch for 2 years straight. It is a good watch with great lum, but it is a little too small for my preference. I also wanted an automatic watch, which the Citizen was not. After about half-a-year of research, I settled on buying this Seiko. The size is perfect and I love the atheistics of it. I finally found that my favorite parameters for watch sizes are between 38mm-40mm. This fits great. Yet, it does not have great lum. I, then, started looking for a great lum watch. I settled on a Lum-Tec watch, which is absolutely outstanding! Yet, I still come back to this Seiko as my daily EDC for the simple fact that it has a day/date window.

You made my day 👌 many thx. just 1 more watch to order... :-)

Awesome review! Where is the NATO strap from? I need!!

I have a 16 cm wrist will it suit me ? I really like that khaki brown dial

Really nice watch but I prefer it if it had a winder protection built within the case like many other field watches.

I really prefer the crown position. I hope more Seiko 5's would borrow that.

Wow a domed hardlex crystal. How long before it gets its first scratch?

Thank you for the video, this is a nice watch

ohhh this looks great maybe a little christmas gift to myself :)

I just ordered the Hamilton 38 mm field watch, manual wind, no date. I also ordered a Hamilton 42 mm field watch with automatic and day-date function.. They have not arrived yet. And please do try a full unboxing. When done right it really adds to the story.. Not boring at all.

Chronometer Check 😎👍🏽 Awesome channel

Hi there. Where can I purchase a watchstrap like yours? With the webbing that runs behind the watch.

Can you please provide the model and/or link to the Hamilton you have on your wrist on this video

Buy a circular polarizing filter for the front of your close up lens. Will cut reflections.

Fantastic video quality. 👌

Looks like a nice watch. Update after purchasing one: The lum is good on the hour and minute hands, but the tiny, tiny lum markers around the outside (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) leave something to be strongly desired. I can read the time for a short while after I put a flashlight to it, but it does not last too long. It is hard to read the time in low light situations. I wish every number was fully illuminated, not just a small mark next to it. Wearing this watch consistently I must carry a pocket flashlight with me to read the time. I do not like that.

Beautiful watch, it's beautiful more than the old version

Nice looking watch - on a 7" wrist. Mine, sadly, is 6.25". If Seiko ever makes this in 37mm I'll get one right away.

It looks good but I prefer smaller and lighter weight so I went with the Alba AQPJ402 instead.

Looks great but my wrist is small, so i picked up the smaller version of this model sbsa201

I’m definitely getting it. I’m just going to wait until they sell at a big discount. Hopefully uncle seiko and Strapcode make some bracelets for it

Would you recommend this or Vostok Amphibia?

Thanks for the video. Looks like a decent watch. A lume shot or a lume comparison to the Hamilton would have been a nice addition

The Seiko 5 not having hacking was always a deal breaker for me. Glad this changed. Might get this one.

Is there any way to put a sapphire crystal?

does it comes in quartz too?

I’m getting this ASAP!!

since you have the snk809 and the hamilton maybe in the in-depth review do a segment with a proper comparison between them.. these seem nice but it still makes me sad that the snk80x is gone. it was such a great little affordable field watch..

Have you tried the 36mm version?

I like it, but then I look down at the Timex Weekender on my wrist and it feels a little redundant for me. I'm sure it's a lot quieter (my cats make less noise than this watch), but I feel like I need to look higher up the chain for my next watch. Great vid, thanks!

Wow, reminds me alot of the Hamiltons! Very nice indeed!

I've been wearing my SNZG15 daily for the past 3 years and it is very versatile. A couple of strap swaps and it'll complement any attire.

I have the green one and love it. Question, does this have raised hour markers or is it flat printed? Mine are raised / applied on the 033.

That new Seiko is really nice - much clearer dial

Love the watch. Simplicity is best.

The 4r36 has really good accuracy in my experience.

The most perfect Seiko 5 right now, size, design, movement, just perfect for the price.

Good review

I have one of those new straps on these on another Seiko. The rings are too big and that foldback, we'll call it, make it humongous. This would probably be amazing on an Erika's Originals as a daily.

are they ever going to make it with a saphire crystal?

can you re-measure your wrists? I have 6" and a 51mm lug-to-lug at 44m just covers the whole flat side of a wrist. But a 39 looks the same on your 7"? I'm confused

The hand winding sold me thank's 👍👍🇺🇸

Checked it out at a local watch store. Not a fan. Very thick, especially with the supplied band that runs under the watch. Had to rotate the wrist fully to get a good view of the face. Picked up a SUR493 instead. Not a chronometer but good looking. YMMV

Whats it like at night..? Thanks

Beautiful watch, but the mineral glass/hardlex crystal is an insurmountable obstacle to me buying it. I would have happily paid more for sapphire with the understanding that a domed sapphire would be costly.

Is there a battery model?

Like the watch! How do you think this would look on a synthetic black band?

Great video man, you make it look easy! Nice watch too. With the numerals were lumed

Nice watch dude..... Thanks from London.....

As a cameraman i must suggest putting your lights from the sides. Like when you shoot a person wearing glasses you light it from both sides to avoid seeing the light in the glasses. Also when lights are far apart from each other, things look more round and pop out of the screen more.

Is it better than SNGZ15K1?

I like this model, ideal for Christmas gifts for teenagers

Elegant and understated

How IT would look on 19cm (7.5 inch) wrist?

Harrow leather strap and sapphire dome upgrade on mine, great everyday watch

Thanks for the review. I’m disappointed how thick they made it. 13.2mm is diver watch thick.

That is one nice bling-free watch, if i had any money, I'd buy it...

Where made this watch....

I love my SRPG35 but I’ve already scratched the hardlex which is a bummer.

Looks nice but it’s quite thick. I think Seiko and other makers over prioritize the see thru case back which adds unwanted thickness.

Your video quality is great but may I suggest letting the watch sit in some instances? I found it a little difficult to focus on the dial when you were holding it throughout the video. There’s a lot of small movements. Hope this helps!

My SRPG63 has this 4R36 caliber, it's good enough, but really not accurate like you said, factory at +45 / -35 _ i check it often, as a new watch, so it has not been as bad as the factory specs out, but fairly close. . . :>/

The lack of hacking never really bothered me but I always like the hand winding is a nice feature to get one going Is a nice feature

Thanks! Cant stand nato straps ill look for it without one

i have an snk803 on a suede leather strap and it has gotten wet and worn so it has darkened it looks cool lol.

How did you manage to get the arab day version? I've searched everywhere and this is the only video with a watch that features it

“In real life you don’t have a big studio light hanging over you.” Sun: “am I a joke to you?”

And I have to mention that my Khaki is currently running at +0.81 sec. per day, measured over 2 months on wrist. Unreal. ANd I wear it while working on my car.
