The review concerns two watches (one with a rating of 4, the other with a rating of 2.5).

The first and main thing in a watch is accuracy, that's why it is purchased, for the independent way of knowing the time. Of course, there is also convenience, when at certain times and in certain situations, looking at the time on your phone is not convenient, or it can ruin a beautiful moment. However, a watch is a piece of jewelry that should adorn the wrist and not be a burden, and it should personally suit you, as well as your work style and location.

This particular watch is beautiful, relatively sturdy, clear even in the dark, and quite durable in falls, which I have tested in construction site conditions several times. Its appearance is such that it is both youthful and classic. I have the same watch in a different design (silver/gold) that is not suitable for all occasions. Both watches are also completely waterproof, at least when I swim, shower, or wash my hands, but I am not a frogman.

The differences between the two watches are as follows: The other one never loses a second, even if I haven't worn it for days (until it stops, of course, like all automatic watches). This particular one loses a minute every 8 hours and needs winding. I have had the other one for over 20 years. I have had this particular one for 6 years. Without a doubt, I will buy Seiko again and trust the company, but I would like to have an independent service center specializing in Seiko in every area. Similarly, I also have a Zenith watch that my father used to wear before me, which is currently 40 years old and still doesn't lose a second.

Nevertheless, the Seiko 5 watches are generally discreetly beautiful, relatively heavy (in the right way heavy) even though their bracelets are not as sturdy in feel. In any case, they are suitable for ages over 30. After all, automatic watches generally require a commitment that suits older ages and mindsets.
