There is nothing wrong with hardlex. It can't shatter and try scratching it.

I think I prefer the old one. How some there are so few seiko 5s now which are all very similar. The old seiko 5 collection is huge.

I love the creamy lume. It's not even really fauxtina, but a color choice. The black is like a black & tan beer. I love the pop of color from the reddish orange second hand. These can already be had at a pretty good discount, though we're not getting those over produced grey market $100 Seikos back. I'd rather have the improvements anyway. These are right on the edge of my 38mm+ preferred sizing, so I would want to try one on first before committing. It would be cool if an aftermarket sapphire crystal became available. That would be my #1 upgrade to make. Overall, nice work Seiko.

They ruined it with the terrible colourways. Drop the faux patina, unmatched chapter ring, red second hand and give it the sunburst dials from the previous gen and I'll buy one straight away.

I was considering swapping my watch (the old) into the new case and doing a sapphire upgrade. A sapphire is already out same one that fits those seiko 5 field watches 30mm

I really like it. I'm gonna pick one up when they inevitably end up half price somewhere in a sale. Will use the hardlex til it picks up a its first scratch then swap it out for a double dome sapphire. Case is a major upgrade from the old one and the NH35 is a great movement at that price point. Ive been able to regulate a San Martin with one to pretty much +/-0spd

@onoff5604 5 күн бұрын

Very happy to see the ~textured metal center-bar on the reflective hands against a dark dial for legibility (polished hands simply disappear). There must be a way to balance legibility and fashion: A mix of brushed and white or textured-metal (effectiely white until you look at it under a magnifier) might be ideal for visibility, but maybe people want some polish for aesthetics. Hopefully this combination is a good balance. Can anyone who has this watch report?

@ollyw2897 4 күн бұрын

I first thought these were overpriced but I watched in interesting take on Seiko prices from Marc at Long Island watch RE inflation etc. I think the original snxs was around 180 RRP. But that must be 10-15 years ago? Not sure when they came out. But in today’s prices it’s about the same as the new ones. So we can’t really expect sapphire Crystal (obviously you will on a micro brand). I think waiting for the price drop like everyone says is the best bet.

@jtes1442 5 күн бұрын

It's a great looking watch, but Seiko really should give it a sapphire crystal. For the price Seiko should include more. Don't be a sucker and buy this watch at full price!

@dado380 5 күн бұрын

That’s idiotic argument,this watch is still entry level Seiko and price is not big,infact price is just right considering inflation,300$ is in adjusted inflation of over 10years exactly 120$.You can’t even compare this watch with let say any micro brand with saphire crystal or ceramic bezel beacuse unlike like Seiko which is huge conglomerate micro brand doesnt offer any service,distribution,AD,warranty or any long term testing of watch parts or any design cost(cuz manny micro brands just copy Seiko historical references is some form or variation).

Despite all the construction upgrades, the dial just looks worse so it's a hard pass. The colorways are ugly, the contrasting chapter ring and orange accent completely strip the watch of its original class. I would much rather buy an original SNXS79 and upgrade the movement, the caseback and the bracelet with aftermarket parts for less money than this new Seiko release.

@onoff5604 5 күн бұрын

new vs. old here is maybe somewhat comparing apples and oranges: the old style was the kind of dress watch you can wear to a funeral, the new one is retroXmodern+sporty. I like how the new ones are less solomn and more spunky. I would not wear a blaze orange second hand to a funeral, but I do not attend funerals every day (nor do I want to be reminded of them). I'd say the new one is not a replacement for an expensive funeral-watch, but that the new one is better for being not that (a very subjective every-day style opinion).

Sapphire crystals are overrated .Call me crazy but if I bash my watch on the reef or some d-bag’s designer grill, I don’t want my watch crystal to crack or shatter.Sapphire crystals are aesthetically pleasing but ill-fitted to the watch of a man who lives in,on, through the water on a regular basis. I prefer the watch to continue to run after a rough moment or encounter, not become inert or anything but functional.Seiko has used hardlex for good reason-it doesn’t yield.

@AlexanderB. 5 күн бұрын

Right! They "forgot" to fix the craplex crystal! 😂 Honestly, would I open my wallet for such a poorly specced watch because some find it cool? Definitely not!!

@EscapementWatch 5 күн бұрын

It slipped their minds! lol but for real Seiko should update their outdated strategy, which seems designed to push customers toward their higher-priced models. The production cost difference between sapphire and Hardlex is negligible, especially since Seiko manufactures them in-house.
