My father was growing up in a poor family, had an early kid, divorce, life was a mess. He bought seiko 5 on his first salary from a new job, and almost 20 years later i am now a proud owner of this watch! It is so strange to look at the machine that measures time, and yet it timeless..

[@davidcooper1201]

Okay, that is generally true of any shock jewel main spring powered watch; however, a watch running is not the same as running within manufacturers specifications. If you have not done a COA on the watch, you better do it; otherwise you are going to damage and or wear out the parts of the watch.

[@riefqisamudro]

@@davidcooper1201 every 3 years I bring my watches to a watchmaker for cleaning, oiling, and adjustment. The only part of my seiko 5 that needed changing was the balance spring (1 time) and the magic lever (1 time) since the purchase. The watch have an accuracy -+10 s/day which imo quite remarkable.

You measured the watch wrong. The 30 m water resistant thing is completely meaningless, and I think it’s always very important to emphasize than any video about watches, because the watch industry does not tell customers this fact upfront

Agree,I've seen this used on a shallow scuba dive (10/20 MTRS) so honestly it's good for anything you'll want it for.

[@RyanGosring]

​@@deanwaller8283 you think you can swim/dive with this watch?

[@speedmaster001]

This is where common sense comes in really handy. It is not a dive watch and it is inexpensive to expect too much out of it. For instance, I bought a $4.5k Tag Heuer calibre 16 link chronograph automatic with a screw down crown and rated 100m water resistant. I took it swimming many times and even took it down to 30 feet recreation diving with no problem. I recently acquired a 100m rated Omega Speedmaster broadarrow GMT with a push pull crown and 2 pushers. I would never dare take it swimming. Being it is not a screw down crown and far more expensive than my other watches to risk it. Love Seikos by the way. My favorite is my orange face SSK GMT.

Ещё одна причина купить себе такие часы , это возможность купить ещё одни на барахолке не дорого на запчасти . Тогда в случае их поломки вторые будут донором на разборку . Эта модель , хоть выпускалась не долго , но достаточно массово и теперь многие из таких часов оказались снова на лотках перекупщиков . СЕЙКО 5 идут довольно точно и между обслуживаемыми выдерживают 5 или 6 лет . Если эти сроки не соблюдать и не производить чистку и смазку , начинается износ деталей и потребуется замена каких то из них . Соотношение цена - качество оптимальные .
