What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for pulling all this together for us - much appreciated!
A nice bunch of "5's"that epitomize a budget touch of class on each watch.
Cheers !!
This is one of your best videos yet. I really enjoyed watching the Seiko 5 line. Keep up the good work
Great video! I love my SNKL45 (was surprised to see it's going for $152 now on Amazon, even though I bought it for $60 on Amazon a few years ago).
got mine today!! bought here from the philippines. for maybe around $80
Nice video Alessandro, keep up the nice content. I want buy the snkl41 but should I pay the premium and buy the âmade in Japanâ version?
Subscribed! Great channel wow. I have a really small wrist and most of my watches doesn't fit well (I got those as gift and never bought a watch for myself). Your channel rekindles my search for a small watches. Just a request can you do something similar for Citizens top 10 like Seiko. Great informative videos. Thanks again!
I have the SNKE51, blue dial. I got it for about $85 a few months ago. Itâs a little more now but well worth it, IMO.
I'm getting my first watch and this video is really helpful as I get back to the shops to view which is right for me.
Nice work - well considered set of watches.
But nobody seems to notice that the snkk has 2 different caseshapes under the same reference number... I wonder why that is.. đ€
My fav Seiko 5s are : SNKL41 and the legendary SNKL23.
What is the female version of the SNKL41?
Sal Ruffino not really the female version since they both seem like unisex watches but the snka01
Seiko 5 always is my favorite, because they got a common function : all automatic ,and day , date display, plus 100m water resistant and rotary bezel if you get dive style in sports series. If you have a Ferrari , you still want have fun with a 86 some time ,same reason : you own a Rolex, but a seiko5 is perfect gear for your fishing, boating and camping .
Bought the Snkl41 after watching your review, really love it, thanks a lot! :)
My pleasure Sebastien, I love it a lot too... too bad it's not mine!
Thank for this, just picked up the seiko 5 turtle srpb21k1, great value watch on a decent nato strap!!
Deja Vu! Great again. My snk809 is one of my most worn watches. Great looking, Very easy to read at a seconds glance and super comfortable as well as indestructible. This watch should be in everyoneâs collection.
DĂ©jĂ vu indeed :)
I have the snkl43, dark blue dial.. Looks luxurious on a dark brown/oxblood leather strap.
I usually wear my 43 on a sporty nato strap, but leather looks nice too!
Love the dark brown strap too on the snkl45! Where did you source it from??
Great job! Thanks for the info!!!
Awesome video Alessandro! Was able to purchase the SNXS79 at $74 3months ago. Got the "bottle cap" as well. Keep those reviews coming!
Great video man. Seiko has a really deep and nice lineup at a great price point.
I just want to point out the SRPB96K is absolutel unique and underrated. I bought one because it matched my stethoscope, put on a chocolate rubber strap, and now it's my work watch! It's got a beautiful rose gold/copper body and chocolate dial. Absolutely unique and I get tons of compliments on it.
That's what I'm thinking, buying a SRPB96k and change it to brown strap
Great video recently got my first seiko and first automatic watch it got the SNGZ15 in black and love it got the bug and already on the lookout for my next seiko
I have a SNZG15 and I do love it. It fits perfectly on my 7 inch wrist. I was trying SNKL41 since i do love their look. But unfortunately it ends up to be very small for my wrist( So far SNZG15 is the only automatic watch I have and do need. I will upgrade them to MH36 movement one day once I will find a local watchmaker.
Been browsing kohls and macys website looking for a good looking seiko collection to add to my casio. You just showed a ton of beautiful watches. Especially the leather bands. This is gonna be a pricey new hobby
I LOVE MY SNKL23 †Saving up for the SARB035 next đ
Love that SNLK41!! All the Seiko 5s on your list is amazing!
Wow, lots of great choices. Nicely done.
Great Video. To the point and very informative. Thank you!
Damn it you just blew the lid on a model Ive only found in stock in very few places, better get it now before they're gone lmao. EDIT: phew just ordered it, I can now say you forgot about the red Seiko 5 turtle
My favourite out of these is SNKL45 such a great looking watch dressed up or down. SNKE01 probably close second with a more sporty vibe.
No other company can compete with Seiko on there variety, just there Seiko 5 line is bigger then most companies whole lines , almost all of there watches have that Seiko mojo from the seventies but with a modern flare
Agreed!

Love Seiko, but hate the 5 on the dial. Have a sea urchin, but will only go for regular Seikos in the future.
Would prefer my SKX over any of the new Seiko 5 substitutes, even with the inferior caliber.
Since i wear a Samurai, the prospex-line is my Seiko limit.
Casio destroys seiko on variety
Yeah man I was waiting for this upload.
nice vid dude. I thought that SNXS79K wouldn't appear, but it seems like its also your top 1 pick. that seiko5 is a must buy.
Great video , thank you .
I have a Seiko SNKL43 and SRPD55 in my collection and both are amazing. You can't go wrong with the Seiko :) get yourself a dressier one, a diver style one and add one digital Casio on top of that and that's all you need when it comes to watches :)
Great video. The 5 series is sooo nice and i absolutely love both my snkl41 and snxs79, infact the very first picture is my very watch hheehe. Thanks for the inspiration Alessandro, keep it up
Aaaaah this is so cool :) Thank you for the great pictures, and for watching!
@@TimedSquare It's a pleasure hehe
Your review are very detil with description, picture. & t'most exiting thing is_u can show abeautiful on low price w.đđ
Just rewatching this, but the watch you showed at the snkk27 intro @3:44 is not the snkk27, but the snk371. They are extremely similar but the snk371 is my choice because it is slightly smaller at around 36.5mm and has an 18mm lug width vs the 38.5 mm and 20mm of the snkk27. The bracelet on the snk371 is more of a jubilee bracelet as well.
Alessandro, thank you so much for your attention to detail and passion for watches. It speaks a lot to your character and love for watches to update your video! Recently found your channel, and love your stuff! Keep it up!
So far I just have a casio gshock 5600, and want to expand my watch collection. I was debating between a dress and a diver, but leaning towards dress so I can wear for future weddings. Out of all the seikos, which dress watch would you recommend less than 200 dollars? PS I too have slender wrists đ
Thank you so much! Not super easy to find a dress watch for under $200, but I would go Orient Bambino (V1, gen 2, rose gold), Tissot T-Classic, Seiko SNKL45 - all with a new leather strap.
@@TimedSquare Thank you for your response! What are your thoughts on wear dive watches in formal occasions? Between the Orient and Seiko dress watches you recommend, which would you pick between the two?
âŸïžđ đâïž. Knocked it out of the park once again! Nice list!
What Seiko 5 GMT do you know of that doesnât have a divers feel.... more of a dress casual style?!?
Thanks for everything you do....
Great selection! đ
Great watches for guys with small wrists. I wore a couple of these back in high school. These days I go for bigger watches with presence.
SNK357, I like so much the textured dial! What do you think with a perlon strap ?
And now Im into watches :p
Hello!! big fan of your channel...I'm thinking of buying another seiko and I was watching the seiko SRP513. what do you think, you can give a review
You should do a Top 10 Orient 3 Star watches...there are literally hundreds of those models. I started off with Seiko 5's but gravitated towards 3 stars and now have more 3 stars than Seiko 5's.
Would like to see Seiko 5 vs Orient 3 Star comparison.
@@mikewysko2268 If only Citizen would still produce their Eagle 7's we'd then have a 3-5-7 faceoff. But I think the Seiko 5's are slightly higher quality in my experience. Not the timekeeping themselves, but the finishing, bracelet, and the see-through case backs that many Seiko 5's have in addition to their slightly harder hardlex crystals that they use.
Awesome vid. Thanks
What do you think of the snk795? I got mine yesterday and I love it.
Thanks to this video, I now have 6/10 frim your list. Still contemplating if I should get the other 3 37mm 7S26 movements you recommend.
The speedracer, snkl41 and the snxs79. Which should i go for first... Hmmmmm...
Amazing work as always!
Thank you Ruel!
I have an SNXS77K (blue dial). It was given to me as a gift. I really like the style, it's my first automatic watch. Too bad, I feel like my wrist is too big for that watch (around 7" wrist). Coming from wearing a G-Shock, I was not used to wearing small watches. But I still wear it sometimes. Now Seiko Samurai (black dial) is my daily watch.
Seiko 5 series is a watch icon for the Cubans born in the 60s and the 70s . The kids wore SNK809s and the adults SNKL41s . All of us . Mine was black , on a rubber strap .
Fantastic video Alessandro! You knocked it out the park.
I can add the Srpb96 itâs rose gold tone with a chocolate brown sunburst Dial and more the a hint of Tudor for that Black Bay vibe. I still canât find one cheap enough to pull the trigger on though.
Thank you Craig! I was about to feature that one too but choices... I like this diver too, and the Tudor vibe is evident.
Great list! Really well done. If I saw it correctly, I like the showing off with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Thank you! And yes, that's the Eiffel Tower - full credits to the Instagram pictures owners at the end of the description!
Please tell me where can I get the SLK41. It seems to be out of stock everywhere!
I just ordered a SNXS75K1 in a grey/black dial. I can't wait to see it in person.
Hi, happen to have bought one today with the grey dial , your favourite as well as mine , cheers shane uk
I don't have the SNZH57 but I have the SNZH53 which is the one with the blue dial. It's just gorgeous.
Also, forgot to mention so editing now, are you able to do an updated version of this video as the value of many of these have increased. Thanks for reading if you are! And great video, subscribed. đ
That SRPC61 is đ„đ„đ„
Hey! Where can i fin the leather strap on the snzg15 at 4:35 ?
Great subject and list!
Iâd like to put in a vote for the overlooked SKZ209J - Vintage Explorer style dial, beautiful polished case, drilled lugs, solid end links, 200m resist, all done-up in the deepest, darkest blue possible...Damn, sheâs fine!đ
Beautiful!
Nicknamed the Atlas I believe?
Craig Rodgers Thatâs the one AKA Landshark and Gadget too!
Oh, wow. That is one *beautiful* watch.đđŒ
Great review. Thank you.
The Seiko 5 Turtle is very cool. I have the black version on the Bracelet. Those cushion cases are great.
Seiko does a bad job promoting he Seiko 5. There are a bunch of newer Seiko 5s with the 4r36 movment but there is limited info on them. I found out about them thru CZcams or eBay/Amazon.
The Seiko 5 Baby Ice Monster is another col newer Seiko 5.
Hey I just bought the SNKL41 on your recommendation :) I have compared numerous models and the last 2 I had considered is this and the SNKK87 which is also beautiful and had a 20mm strap (instead of the 18mm of the SNKL41).
Finally, I decided that I preferred the dauphine hands that makes the SNKL41 look so much like a Grand Seiko.
Any opinions regarding 18mm vs 20mm watch strap on a 6 inch male wrist?
I prefer the 18mm, it looks more refined for me. It's like the strap doesn't pop up more that the watch body.
I work in construction and I have an SNKK27, for the price you can't get a better automatic watch that you dont have to worry about being gentle with. I have 3 NATO straps to change it up and couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Very useful video. Thank you.
Some of those I have not seen. I have 3 Seiko 5's and everyone I can't adjust the bracelet, one micro adjustment if I take out a link its too small, if I leave it in it is too big. so the only thing I can do is change the bracelet. The ones that came with mine are the hollow link with keys to hold the links together, kind of junk really, and I have that one that looks like a dive watch Pepsi color too. Non can be wound or hacked. I love the Seiko Brand and I wish these lower end would come with the better movements. As you pointed out those are a bit more money. My first Seiko my Grandmother gave to me in around 1980 or 1981 when the digital craze was around, it had like 5 lines of display I really loved that watch, I still have it, of course, it does not fit and has an odd size bracelet I forgot the length. No idea if it works as it uses a battery and just found it after being missing since 1989 but I found it.
I like the vintage style of SSA327 and SSA289. All with 4R movement and 100M WR.
Perfect, elegant. Thank you.
This was very helpful... the snzf15/17 is a slam dunk and I would have missed it. Thx.
I would also add the SRPC51. It kinda looks like the baby monster but with a different bezel. The SRPB89 also looks interesting. But overall great top 10.
It's nicknamed the Fifty-Five Fathoms because it is water-resistant to a depth of...55 fathoms. The original Blancpain was named the 50 Fathoms for that same reason.
Great presentation! đ
I love Seiko 5.... I have one here it's almost 12 yrs still in good condition.....
Wow
I think SNK357 & SNKK45 are nice as well :)
Great video , thank you
Wow just wow...started to watching your video wearing the SNKL41 on my wrist and SNZF17 laying on my table... I guess my next SEIKO 5 will be SNK809 ;)
You have a kind of a Seiko 5 trinity right there!
Great choices!
Very informative. đđ
Very helpful video.
i just recently interested to buy my 1st automatic watch, im bit interested in fossil skeleton watch at 1st(thankfully i dont buy it because it got 42/44 mm dial, and my 6" wrist cannt used it.
at this time 1:28 SNKL43 (Blue SNKL41) really make me convince what i wanna buy, right away. Just need to buy brown reddish strap o.O
i really dont need to watch the rest but SNK803 (Cream SNK809) a bit stand out from the rest of SNK809 coz of black, watch hand and number.
Where can i get that exact black perlon strap thats on the SNKL41?
If you just had to buy 1 of these , what would you buy? Snk803 or the snkl23k1
The goal is to able dress up and dress down (high versatility)
This is for my first seiko collection and my first automatic watch, I own 2 quartz atm
I desperately want a Sea Urchin.
But not until they start putting in the 7R movement!
Awesome Vid
Nobody talking about Seiko snxj89. This one and the snxs79k are my favorite 5's.
Hi sir, can i ask about the SNXS79 can i replace it with a 20mm bracelet? Because i saw a jubillee bracelet seiko and i am thinking of replacing the bracelet is the 20mm the right size of bracelet for it?
Thanks to your video so amazing
How often should you service an automatic watch ? What is done during servicing ? Does it cost more than the price of the watch itself ?
Seiko. the most underrated watch company in the world. Totally nuts the quality you get for the price, makes Swiss made watches seem like you getting robbed just by trying them on let along buying them.
Not really underrated. I would say that Seiko is probably the most respected non-Swiss watch company.
Got the SNXS81K -gold dial A beauty I can't get off my wrist!
ALMOST got the SNXS79K because of this list but in the end went with the SNXF01. Great list though!
Alternatively, you can save a little more for a Seiko SARB033 or SARB035. Best watches at their price range.
I completely agree, even if they cost 3 to 4 times more and they're harder and harder to find new with guarantee.
Great video and list. Thanks
Complete with L2L ;) Cheers!
@@TimedSquare Yep.. It's great :-D
Good work
Honourable mention for the Snkl23 - I was able to get 1 for 70 Euros recently, so they may come back in stock again :)
HA! I don't mention it because it's super hard to find online but this is good news!
Hi, which one do you prefer between Timex Expedition and Seiko 5?
Thanks.
Nik 007
Timex for timekeeping since itâs a quartz movement and you really canât beat that in terms of accuracy, but you gotta change itâs battery now and then and if the component is broken then the watch is fried for good.
Seiko 5 for how cool it is, itâs an automatic movement so technically it can go on indefinitely as long as it is treated well and serviced. But it sometimes losses or gain time 20ish seconds a day.
What about snk375k1
I want to buy. Is it similar to SNKK27 ? :)
The SNK809 with the black dial and silver bracelet does it for me !
Well done.
I own the Blue variant of the SNKE01, the SNKD99K1 and its really beautiful. If you want a Mini Grand Seiko SBGE283, it will be a great choice!
