The case is more or less completely polished, including the lugs, sides, and bezel. This of course enhances the watch’s elegant look. It keeps decent time, it can take a beating for years and years without needing a service and is extremely affordable. 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. The watch has a simple yet elegant dial. This watch proves that even the most simple and clean designs can be the most beautiful.

These are a personal favorite. All four have major Oyster Perpetual vibes without feeling too derivative, and naturally you can expect anything that borrows from the OP to be pretty damn versatile. These share the same tonneau case as the aforementioned SNXF05, so that 37-millimeter diameter should be quite forgiving for a number of wrist sizes. The SNXS77J2, SNXS77K2 and SNXS77P2 models, if they exist, would have a different band style or material.If you are looking for a clean and elegant automatic everyday watch that you can count on, Seiko is definitely a brand you should look at. It’s well-known that we’re big fans of the Seiko 5 line here at Worn & Wound, and I’m certain that it’s a sentiment shared by many watch lovers across the spectrum of collecting. Because they’re very cheap, Seiko 5 watches are often called the ultimate gateway into mechanical timekeeping — the first steps into the shallow end of the pool before the obsession takes hold and we get pulled into the deep end. But I think that does a disservice to these timepieces because, money considerations aside, these are truly great watches that punch well above their weight. Zach, who’s probably handled thousands of watches at this point and has owned some truly wonderful pieces over the years, still wears his SNK regularly, and that’s because the watch simply holds up. At least, mineral crystals have a few advantages, such as being less prone to shattering, and the surface isn't as reflective as sapphire.

Though I’ll must admit, I sometimes still wear the flimsy original bracelet on warmer days. It’s not the best quality, but light and comfortable enough for when it gets really hot out. There are some other options, though. So today I’m doing a Seiko SNXS77 review. This is another watch that’s part of Seiko’s popular Seiko 5 series. They intended on bringing an affordable, well built, automatic watch to the market, and they definetly succeeded. The Seiko 5 SNXS73K is a simple and clean watch with a touch of sportiness to it which makes it extremely versatile. Its clean and classic design ensures that it does not stand out too much, making it suitable for formal occasions, but its sporty touches also make it great for casual everyday wear. Like all Seiko 5s. It is powered by robust and reliable automatic mechanical movement. This is great for an everyday watch as it ensures you can just throw it on the wrist and it is ready to go at any time.Everyone needs a watch that is just simply beautiful and in no way over the top. A watch that works no matter what you are wearing or for which occasion you are wearing it. 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? The ref. SNZG13K1 is paired with a three-piece link stainless steel bracelet. The ref. SNZG15K1 is an identical timepiece, but mounted on a textile strap. Both versions start at around 180 USD. The good news is, this raises the entire watch off your wrist a bit and gives you a bit of extra wiggle room when moving your wrist around, adding to the overall comfort.
