My First Automatic - Seiko 5 Men's SNK809 Automatic Black Strap Black Dial Watch

I have to say.. I didn't buy it on Amazon, but I love the watch, and was very hesitant before I finally pulled the trigger. So I'm writing this to help the potential owners of the watch who are in the place where I once was.

The 1st impression of the watch was.. a lot better than it looks in pictures online. Even though it's considered as a cheap watch, it looks a lot more expensive than its price.. It's a solid, handsome looking watch. And I really don't think the manufacturer's picture here does the watch justice. 

Its size is at around 37mm. This is def. not a big watch.. and on a small side for nowadays where huge faced watches are the norm.. Well, I have a thin wrist (at 6.5) and prefer the look of a small watch for its understated look. This works perfect for me. 

The accuracy of the watch (of mine anyway) seems to be very good. For the past four days, it only ran two seconds faster. That's an exceptional performance for an entry level automatic watch under $100. 

I had many models on mind before I made this purchase. While I'm still planing on getting some of the candidates in the future, I'm really glad that I picked this one first for my everyday watch. Chances are.. you will be too. 

*I got mine on a metal band since I didn't think I'd like the nylon strap on this one very much. (I see Amazon carries it at an extra cost.) Oh and the lume, in case it matters to you, is a OK.
