Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Textile Strap – SNK805K2

Product Information

Seiko's timepiece teams a hard-wearing stainless steel case with a green wristband created from textile. Seiko SNK805K2 Now, considering the price, you get an automatic durable, and long-lasting movement which is quite nice. But having this in mind, it’s not perfect from a finish, decoration, and technical point of view (as we wouldn’t expect it to be either). But it is still great value for money.

The automatic movement means you’ll never require a battery change. The watch winds itself through the day as you wear it. The SNK805 is water resistant for a maximum 30 meters (99 feet). That doesn’t mean you should consider scuba diving with the unit.However, when you won’t be wearing the watch for 1-2 days, for example, the auto watch winder is a plus. It prevents the rigmarole of winding up the watch constantly. How precise is this watch? The watch is not as bulky as a diver’s watch, but it is not as dressy as a dress watch. The result is a watch that works as a perfect everyday timepiece that can be worn on most occasions and with most outfits. Plus, this watch can take a beating too. One may think that at this price, it is almost too good to be true. Moving on to the hands, both the minute and hour hands are diamond-shaped and look very sporty. One may say they look like swords, which of course would be a great detail bearing the military inspiration of this timepiece in mind.

The Seiko 5 is one of the most popular automatic watches in this price range. But once you look at the specifications and what it offers for a price of less than a hundred dollars, you can see why.This Seiko watch isn’t the most durable one, but it’s sturdy enough. That’s due to factors like the steel case that helps protect the interior components of the watch. This adds value to the SNk805. Price Range Another option is the automatic watch winder that’s sold separately. This is a storage unit that keeps the watch wound up when it’s not in use. This watch includes a window made of mineral crystal. It’s scratch/impact-resistant and is used most off in the watchmaking industry.

Seiko’s exclusive 7S26 calibre automatic movement powers this watch, it consists of 21 jewels and it offers an accuracy of -20/+40 seconds per day. This watch has a water resistance of 30 metres, meaning it should only be exposed to light splashes of water. The Seiko 5 snk805 Automatic watch is powered by Seiko’s 7S26B movement. This is an automatic movement equipped with a rotor. According to specifications, the movement has an error of -35 +/45 seconds per day. Now, this is not COSC performance by any means, but let’s not forget that this watch costs less than 100 USD. With that said, this is only accuracy acceptance, which means it may perform better than this (and people have reported it does). If you want a wristwatch that looks like it’s military-issued, then the Seiko SNK805 is a great option. That includes the luminous accents, green dial, and green strap. It offers a traditional yet classy look that never goes out of style. Steel Case

Drilled lugs are a welcome addition to the new SRPG, allowing you to change straps or bracelets more conveniently, where more focus and accuracy would otherwise be mandatory.

This automatic watch gets is power from your arm movements rather than batteries. All you have to do to keep the watch running is to wear it 8+ hours/day. This can save you a ton of money you’d normally spend on watch batteries, which usually end up in landfills. What is the water-resistant depth? The Seiko 5 Sport series was first released in 1963, its creation aimed at providing stylish yet affordable automatic watches to the younger generation of the 60s. 50 years later, the Seiko 5 Sport has been reborn, each model showcasing the key traits of the original models as well as new, updated features. The Seiko SNK805 is another great watch from the 5 series. Overall a simple yet effective design, I rather like the khaki green that’s been used and most regular readers will be well aware I love automatic watches. A very affordable option and a well earned 9/10 from me. It’s great looking, durable, robust, and powered by automatic mechanical movement. This means that amongst watch collectors and enthusiasts, it is a watch that is appreciated and respected. It goes to show that price isn’t everything in the watch-collecting hobby.What if you’re still not happy with the strap? It could be argued the strap is this Seiko watch’s weakest link so if you wanted to swap out the green nylon strap you’d still get a high-value watch for the price point. Military-Inspired Design The circles and printed numbers on the dial are reminiscent of pilot watches. This, again, goes very well together with the military style. Seiko 5 SNK805 case
