Seiko Men's Automatic Watch, Analog Display And Stainless Steel Strap Skz211K1

This product was probably a "return". The bracelet clasp keeps popping out and the crown is a nightmare to use. Unusually poor quality for a Seiko.

Another cheap and cheerful Seiko and will not disappoint; The watch has a nice weight to it with a good looking oyster band. The outer bezel rotates counterclockwise (unidirectional) with a pretty ratcheted clicking. The crown on the 9 O'clock position, rotates the inner compass rose located within the crystal. There is no screw down locking mechanism on this crown; this means that as the watch is worn, this crown is free to rotate the inner bezel as it rubs against your wrist. This is about the only down side to this watch. On the other-hand, the crown located at the 4 O'clock position is used for setting the watch, day and date functions. This is a screw-down mechanism, which is nice. The day and date are located in the window at the 3 O'clock position. This being a watch for the Canadian market, it has the option to choose between English & French days of the week and of course Arabic numbers for the date. The main hands are yellow, including the seconds hand. The main indices and all three hands are luscious and works quite well and is bright. The lume lasts for about 2-3 hours. This watch is a automatic 23 jewel (Cal. 7S36) non manual winding movement and also it is a non-hacking however, the poor mans hack does work. On to the exterior, The rotating bezel is black with the white 60 min indices, of course, the sides of the bezel are polished steel. The rest of he watch has a satin finish, with the left crown guard is polished whereas the right crown guard is similar to the rest of the watch. The back is a polished screw down back case. The band is a oyster style with a dual push button release with a safety clasp. The bracelet and watch go well together and provide a nice utilitarian look to the watch but also give the look of a more expensive timepiece. The watch wears well and fits my 7in wrist quite well (looks a tad bit small on my wrist), The bracelet will probably fit upto a 7.5in wrist. Over all a great looking watch looks good functions well, and meets all the requirements of the Seiko 5 mantra of being 1. Almost unbreakable main spring 2. Highly Shock resistant 3. Automatic winding 4. day/date indication 5. Water resistant and great for all occasions.

First of all, the Seiko Sports 5 SKZ211K1 is colloquially known as the 'Atlas' or 'Landshark' due to a rotating inner bezel with compass markings. This is a 'gadget' watch, but quite sturdy with superior design elements in the large yellow minute and hour hands, a yellow second hand, Roman numerals at 12-3-6-9, obverse day and date outlined in red, fine knurling around the outer bezel, a larger, beefy crown to rotate the inner bezel, a screw-down crown, 7S36 movement (non-hacking or winding), 20 Bar (200m) water resistance rating (suitable for shallow diving or snorkeling), brush-finished case sides and stainless bracelet with - get this: solid end links! The lume is quite good - not Monster good, but quite good. Charged up at 2000 and face was readable in the dark at 0400. I initially didn't think a resizing was necessary (i have beefy wrists), but decided to remove a link and use the outside pin on the latch. Link removal was a snap by pushing out a split pin, removing the link, then pushing it back in (follow the arrows; what look like screw heads on the pin ends are not - pins are split). Result? A perfect fit. Took the watch for a nice half-hour early morning swim in pool. No leak (one might ponder how watertight the compass bezel crown is, but hey, 20 Bar ratings generally mean swimming should be fine?) All in all, a very nice package. Unlike others, I don't find the compass rotating wildly during wear. Watch has kept quite accurate time so far. Here's what I don't like: Buying watches on Amazon, especially more expensive watches. Why? Because of the four last watch purchases I've made, I've been burned by receiving previously modified, returned, and gray-market watches stripped of original packing documents. The worst offender was Amazon itself, which shipped me a Seiko Monster that had been obviously returned. Fortunately, all docs were there and the watch was fine. Amazon also shipped me an Orient M-Force with no warranty card, no manual, mangled box, and a watch with a bracelet missing links and modified to fit a child's wrist! Another Amazon purchase of a Seiko 'Ice Monster' via the seller 'E Watch Stock' resulted in a great watch with original stickers but missing a Seiko warranty card (the excuse of the seller is that the warranty is through Amazon - if so, why not include the warranty card? we all know why, don't we?). Finally, this watch, purchased from seller 'Dexclusive' arrived missing a warranty card and a case back without the Seiko protective sticker. These are some things to keep in mind if you purchase through gray-market sellers. In some ways, Amazon could be complicit in the enabling of the accumulation and sale of blank Seiko warranty cards (check a large on-line auction site for such sales) - for what purpose? I think we all know, don't we? Anyway, this would not happen through a purchase from a Seiko dealer. We all like a good deal on a watch, and we all know that the chance of getting a bad Seiko is minimal, but just be aware of what is going on when you buy a watch via Amazon from a seller offering warranty via Amazon. BTW, i got a sticker in the box saying 'Register for your warranty now!' Went to the web site, entered my info, clicked 'Register,' and got a 'Warranty is through Amazon, see them'-type message. I really wish more folks who post negative reviews on some of these watches would follow up with warranty repair results.

満足です。

EXCELENTE RELOJ, DE LOS SEIKO SPORT 5, ES DE LOS POCOS O EL UNICO QUE TIENE CORONA ENROSCADA Y RESISTENCIA AL AGUA DE 200 METROS.

Die Uhr ist sehr gut verarbeitet. Einzig ein Stift am Armband musste nach 2 Jahren getauscht werden. Das Problem hatten/ haben alle Uhren von Seiko die ich bisher hatte. Das Uhrwerk ist nicht super genau, aber wenn man sich damit abfinden kann einmal pro Monat die exakte Zeit einzustellen, bekommt man eine sehr gut ablesbare und sauber verarbeitete Uhr.
