A finate accessory
I've finally found a finite accessory. I love my new Seiko 5 snk793 so much that I'm now writing this review and relishing on another good decision I've made on ordering it. I have a larger watch collection than the average person. I have 4 Seiko, 5 Orients, 5 Fossils, 4 G-shocks, 1 Wenger, 1 LuminoxNavy Seal, 1 Hamilton mechanical, and a number of Timex Ironman. This is my second Seiko 5. I had my first one 5 years ago which I ended up returning as its classic looks did not appeal to me at the time. I was more into the modern watches such as Swatch, and G-shock. However, the abundant listings of Seiko 5s on Amazon and eBay prompted me to try one again. It is a basic automatic which I understand to have been in production since the '60s or '40s. I am excited to once again be an owner of one of these durable, timeless, classic, timepieces. I've read depictions of these having gone through the washer, banged up on door hinges, and other harsh conditions. This is what persuaded me to buy one again. Upon seeing mine up close for the first time I knew I now had something that will tell timereliably for decades on end and possibly even pass it down to my future progeny. It's even got a see through exhibition case back which Ifind very captivating. This particular model was released in January, 2010 so I know it is a current model but with classic design which is exciting to me. With this newfound accessory I am confident I now have my signature watch that I will always be seen wearing. I love it so much I've ordered another of this exact model just for keepsake. I have since put all my other watches in storage assured I will only wear thiswatch indefinitely. I can now attest to all the other reviews of this watch's reliability and aesthetics. I am always enchanted by its mechanical and industrious movement in the back viewable through the glass case back reminding me each time I will never need to buy another watch again in my life. Inspiring it is that this watch will be my only watch ever. I am confident this watch will be my go to accessory all my life and will never need another watch. Finally I've found a finite accessory.For an afterthought I would like to add that this specific model is the most basic and free of any annoying aesthetics on the dial. I've been contemplating the new Seiko 5 sports line and one caught my eye, the snzg113j, which is made in Japan. However I could not get passed the obnoxious "sports" just below the "5" logo. As nice as it looks and the positive reviews on it I think I will save my money and stick with my tried and true snk793. Another feature of this awesome piece is the crown located at the four o'clock position, a tell tale sign it is an original Seiko 5. In the history of the Seiko 5 on the Seiko website one signature feature of the Seiko 5 line is the location of the crown at the four o' clock position. The new Seiko 5 sports models have the crown at the three o' clock position, a feature that deviates it from the true Seko 5s like my snk793. I have a bigger collection of watches than the average guy so I have experience with almost every type from mechanical to the more advanced solar technology. To my astonishment however, I keep coming back to this tried and true marvel of a timepiece. The truth is with this I never have to worry about it breaking down for whatever reason that all electronic devices do eventually in our rough and tumble lives. This watch gives me peace of mind it will reliably give me quite accurate time even when all the power goes out. I understand it is not as accurate as quartz but that is only one trade of owning such a reliable accessory that provides accurate enough time to be practical.

beautiful understated dress watch for smaller wrists
I just got this watch recently so I can't comment on reliability over time, etc. However I can give you my first impressions, which are excellent. This watch really looks much better in person than in pictures. It's not a overtly "manly man" watch like the legions of Submariner clones and military watches out there, but instead it's simple, elegant, and understated. I was a little concerned that the mirror-polished bezel would look too blingy or jewelry-like, but it actually balances nicely with the deep blue face and brushed-steel band. The watch itself is a good size if you are, like me, small-to-average in build. The exposed mechanics on the back side are an added bonus, especially for those of us who are relatively new to the world of automatics.The bracelet is also good quality for the money. It's put together well enough that I was easily able to remove a few links to resize the bracelet on my own. The last watch I got, an Orient diver model, was so stubborn that even the professional watch repairman had trouble with it. It's convenient to save yourself a trip to the watch shop and reassuring to know that you can modify the watch band however you like, whenever you like.As far as actual time-keeping goes, I'm sure it's losing or gaining a few seconds each day, but nothing noticeable, and I haven't had to reset the time yet. I haven't had any issues with it in the short time I've owned it.If you're looking for a big, complicated, eye-catching watch, keep looking. But if you want a simple, mid-sized dress watch with timeless good looks, or are just looking for an entry point into the world of automatic watches, this might just be the one for you. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value for the money than the Seiko 5 line, especially with Amazon's regular discounts.Update: I've now had the Seiko for almost a month and I'm pleased with the accuracy of the movement. It's only lost about a second per week, which is incredible for any automatic watch, let alone one in this price range. Part of that is undoubtedly the luck of the draw, but I've got no complaints so far.
