About this deal

The watch measures 38mm in diameter with a thicness of 12mm, not a bad size at all really. Some might say it’s a little smaller than the current average, but we’re only talking about 2mm or so, nothing to worry about really. There is certainly room for improvement with the bracelet, but at this price point, I guess we can’t complain too much. The good news is that this watch looks great on a NATO or leather strap as well, so you can switch if you would like to. The watch has a simple yet elegant dial. This watch proves that even the most simple and clean designs can be the most beautiful. As is common with affordable watches, the bracelet is the part of the watch that feels like it has been compromised with the most. It has some rattle and doesn’t give a 100% impression of quality.

If there is a SNXS77J1 it is made in Japan, has "Made in Japan" written on the dial and is more likely to have Arabic as the second language on the day dial. The included bracelet isn’t the best, but with a watch so affordable, it’s easy to overlook, and this watch looks good on a variety of different straps if you can work around the odd 19mm lug width. It has a domed crystal and a case that’s scratched up, and has so much character, in my opinion. What is a Seiko 5? As my appreciation for watches (and my watch collection) grew, I began to appreciate the little aspects and nuances of a watch, more.If you are looking for a simple, clean, yet beautiful automatic everyday timepiece, the Seiko 5 SNXS77 may be the watch you are looking for. But if the SNXS79 is your only watch, you might as well get the exact size strap to fit it, which is 19mm. All in all the Seiko SNXS77 offers exceptional value for money in my view, it’s a classic design watch so not much in the way of any fancy bells or whistles going on with the dial etc.

The Seiko 5 "Military" are among the most sought-after sports watches from the Japanese watch manufacturer. The design of these automatic watches resemble field and pilot's watches. There isn’t actually a date feature on this watch so you’ll have to decide how fussed you are about having this feature. I’m quite happy skipping out on the date feature on a watch as I honestly rarely use it. I consider them more of a style piece on a watch these days. But over time, like most other things about this watch, not only did they grow on me, but I began to appreciate them more and more. That’s why I’ve bought this same exact watch THREE times. The Final Verdict If there is a SNXS77K1 or SNXS77P1 it is made elsewhere in Asia, does not say "Made in Japan" on the dial and is more likely to have Spanish as the second language for the day.The watch has rectangular applied hour markers which enhance the watch’s feeling of quality. The markers have applied Lumibrite on them which allows you to read the time in the dark. It doesn’t have any screws, or even pushpins, like most bracelets, so sizing it can be extremely difficult. The bracelet has some play and some rattle but it is comfortable to wear, and due to its relatively lightweight, occasionally, you won’t even notice it is there. In my experience Swiss watches are like German cars expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and no where near as reliable as Japanese cars, especially Toyotas and Suzukis.
