Seiko SNXS77 Review

My rating: 9/10, awesome watch, excellent value for money.

Seiko 5 SNXS77 Review Summary

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.

Seiko 5 watches have, you guessed it, 5 key attributes:

1. Automatic winding
2. Day/date display in a single window
3. water resistance
4. Recessed crown at the 4 o’clock position
5. Durable case and bracelet

In the end, you have a brilliant watch that focuses on quality whilst not breaking the bank.

I’m a fan of this simple, no nonsense dial design. It’s easy to read featuring a good amount of lume on the hands and hour markers for easier reading in dark conditions. The day and date display can also come in handy when required.

Powering the watch is an iconic Seiko 7S26 21 jewel automatic movement that can be viewed via the rear exhibition caseback (one of my favourite features).

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.

A feature that might let some people down is the relatively small water resistance rating. It’s rated at 30m also know as 3 ATM. This gives you basic resistance to water, but not much more. In my opinion though, this is ok as it’s not designed for much more than day to day wear.
