Seiko 5 Sports Owner Review : Robust, efficient and endearing

This Seiko 5 is a true "field watch", with a step dial, a brushed case and perfect readability. With a diameter of 40mm and equipped with the 7S36 caliber (set incredibly precisely on my copy: less than a second of drift per day), it is a perfect watch to use in all weathers, including underwater. This was my first automatic assembly, bought new in 2019 for around 100e, it gives a lot for the price. It has now left the catalog and has been replaced by a model that is more than similar but at a price that has more than doubled (new Seiko pricing policy requires). This watch is a very nice entry in the Seiko range and has a very high quality of finish. A tough one! The only downside is the rather wide nylon strap which does not have an exemplary finish, the perfect opportunity to have fun by equipping it with your most beautiful Nato.
