Review: A Stunning Retro-Modern Timepiece with Incredible Value! - As a long-time watch enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for unique pieces that offer both style and substance without breaking the bank. The Seiko Recraft Automatic SNKP23 has absolutely delivered on all fronts and quickly become a favorite in my collection. From the moment I unboxed it, I was captivated by its design. The rectangular stainless steel case and integrated bracelet give it a wonderfully retro vibe, reminiscent of classic watches from the '60s and '70s, but with a thoroughly modern execution. The vibrant blue dial is truly the star of the show – the sunburst effect catches the light beautifully, and those faceted hour markers add a depth and visual interest that you just don't see on many watches in this price range. It looks far more expensive than it is! Underneath that stunning dial is Seiko's reliable automatic movement (7S26). It's a workhorse movement, and while it's not a chronometer, it keeps good time for daily wear. I love the convenience of an automatic; no batteries to worry about! The day/date complication at 3 o'clock is also very practical for everyday use. The build quality is exactly what you'd expect from Seiko: solid. The stainless steel bracelet is comfortable on the wrist and feels substantial. The Hardlex crystal offers good scratch resistance for daily knocks. I also appreciate the exhibition caseback – it's a nice touch to be able to see the mechanical heart of the watch. Whether I'm dressing up for a meeting or just going casual, this watch always gets noticed. It's a fantastic conversation starter and pairs surprisingly well with a variety of outfits. If you're looking for something beyond the typical round watch, and you appreciate unique designs with a touch of vintage flair, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the Seiko Recraft SNKP23. It's a fantastic blend of style, heritage, and Seiko's renowned reliability. Highly recommended!
Review: Clean, Sharp, Stylish. - This is my first Seiko watch. I've always been a Bulova guy, when it comes to affordable, yet stylish and dependable watches. That being said, this watch is dope! The look is clean and cool and has that 1960's style. I mean, green and gold, together at last! Am I right? I feel like a cast member on "Med Men" when I wear this watch. Got myself in trouble at work when I smacked my colleague on the ass and said, "Why don't you run along, baby, and go make me an Old Fashioned." Dude was not amused. I can't speak to the accuracy just yet, but I unboxed it, set it, wore it a few mins before bed, and in the morning it was still running and accurate. So, already it's a step ahead of some automatic watches I've owned. May try and come back and add an update for the accuracy. I also cannot speak to it's water resistance. I don't go swimming. I'm chubby and hairy and kids stare. But then again, I mean, it's not exactly a corset. Know what I mean? Watches are pretty easy to take off and on. Just take the damned thing off, you weirdo. Also, anyone else ever notice how horrible your hand/arm looks in photos? It's off-putting, really. The band is sufficient. The watch wears well on small and large wrists alike. I have an 8.6in wrist and I didn't have to remove any links. It fit perfectly. If you have a larger wrist that 8.6in, you may wanna request an extra link or two. If you're on the fence, go ahead and buy it. For the price point, it's virtually impossible to imagine someone being mad about it. It's a pretty big value! It's neat, clean, shiny, and stylish. It has a beautiful dark green dial that is actually sunburst when viewed in bright or sunlight. The gold trim on dark green probably shouldn't work, but it somehow does. It's easy to read and the seconds hand has a nice, continuous sweep, instead of a tick. It's just very good. Don't be a nerd. Buy it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the size of thee band in mm?**
A: Those people that answer 20mm are blind.  They're just writing what the product spec says.  The product spec is WRONG!!  I ordered the watch, and at the same time a custom leather strap that cost half as much as the watch in 20mm size.   I put the strap on and it is terribly too small!  I pulled out the ruler and it is in fact a 24mm lug to lug.  What a waste of money the strap was.  By the way, the incorrect spec listed as 20mm is both here on Amazon and on Jomashop.  Both have it wrong.

**Q: Does it display the day or month?**
A: Day and date. Not month

**Q: Screw down crown or "push-in" type crown?**
A: Push in crown

**Q: Are the lugs the same color as the case? They look different colored in the pic.**
A: Yes, they're the same colour. It's a one piece case. However, the main case has a slightly brushed finish and the lugs are polished.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great watch.
*by S***Y on October 23, 2025*

At first I was was unhappy because the watch would stop overnight. Then I began taking it off and flipping it back and forth when I was not doing anything else. Now it keeps running and, like all SEIKO watches} keeps excellent time. I have worn SEIKO watches for about 50 years because I needed their accuracy in my military career. I just wish this watch had one more link in the band because I have big wrists.
