Seiko 5 SNKE01 Automatic Watch Review: Steel Budget Beauty

[@grivei09]

Thanks for the great review. I was on the fence about buying it so a big thanks for putting in the work for the review. 🇸🇪

[@degenerateWA]

You're very welcome, thanks for stopping by.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Really enjoy your casual review style, its really easy to watch and enjoy. This one isn't for me but still looks solid value for money.

[@degenerateWA]

I feel you. If we all liked the same watches this hobby would be quite boring. Always appreciate your insight/feedback🤘

[@asianhobbitshaving3050]

Great review! You're right about how the size of this watch works for most people. I have the pcs coated SNKE 03, and like it. I enjoyed the fact that you wore it in different conditions, & while doing various activities. A very sensible, and unpretentious assessment of this watch.

[@degenerateWA]

Means a lot, thank you🍻

[@asianhobbitshaving3050]

Oops, I have the pvd coated model, the SNKE03. Keep up the good work, and Happy Holidays!

[@johngangXW9JohnandAd]

Bro your reviews are so effin good between your descriptions, voice inflections, and non biased based on your own bias are all just amazeballs. Keep it up don't change a thing. You should try doing voice overs. Maybe Forrest Gump impressions.... thats Kevin.

[@degenerateWA]

Staaaaaahp it😁

[@Trapvision3D]

What's going on in here🤔😳👀

[@Mtnmsh]

Perfect review. You deserve all the best and all my respect.

[@degenerateWA]

Wow, awesome feedback. Thank you so much for the positive support, it really means a lot.

Nice review, been on a blue dial kick lately and considering that watch with the blue dial. The bezel definitely caught my eye but I'm learning that shopping for blue dials online is hard is a gamble. Cool aftermarket caseback!

[@degenerateWA]

The last blue dial I purchased was the Seiko SRPE and it is beautiful. Blue is such a great color when done right.

[@paulrholland4473]

Nice watch! Just looked it up. Good price and no integrated bracelet.

[@johnnydub237]

Awesome review man. I'm researching my first watch purchase and this one looks amazing, but I wasn't aware of the integrated bracelet until this video. Is there no way to swap out the bracelet for a different strap? I was originally looking at the SNKL23J1 but then when I saw the SNKE01K1, I really like the bezel part on the outside - I thought it made it look like the halfway point between the SNKL23J1's refined look and a more sporty dive watch bezel, but at a better price and it still keeps a more refined/clean look the the inside of the dial with the numbers. I was just hoping for something with the versatility to change out the strap for my first watch. And at the end of the day, I live in Canada, so buying from Joma online it will probably come to around $200 USD after shipping and duty costs and all that. So I want a watch that I can do a few different things with for such a price. I'm also considering the SRPK29K1 as I understand it has interchangeable strap. But is obviously more expensive, but does have the more traditional dive style bezel.

[@exkal215]

Fantastic review. I may be picking one of these up in the near future. 👍🏽

[@degenerateWA]

Its a great little watch. Lemme know if you do and how you like it🤘

[@tarasmathers7423]

You know what, I do deserve it.....somehow, I don't think my wife is going to feel the same. No seriously, great review. Enjoyed the footage and scenic shots. That was the most "proportionate," 36mm piece, I have ever seen. I truly think that it was because of the integrated bracelet system. I absolutely love integrated bracelets, but I'm pretty much strictly a bracelet kind of guy. You on the other hand, are a bit of a strap monster. You value versatility, I should say. The integration removes that option for you. It did fit you very well. I really feel like the closed caseback made a sizeable improvement. Much cleaner vibe IMHO. Thanks for sharing it

[@degenerateWA]

😁, that bit was just me having some fun with Trap (another KZbinr). It really is a well designed 36'er. Considering my sweet spot is 41, that says a lot to how to well they put everything together. Always appreciate your feedback🤘

[@rasimnakic]

I love your reviews and your taste. Keep up the good work!

[@degenerateWA]

Always appreciate your positive feedback🤘

[@cliffdrewyor5543]

Awesome vid and review brother...great content and very informative 👊🏼💯😎

[@degenerateWA]

Appreciate it brotha, always great to see the #BIGTIMEGANG and #prestigesyndicate here🤘

[@TOMMYBIGTIME]

I still need to experience a 36mm and a 40mm for the experience. #BIGTIMEGANG #PrestigeSyndicate

[@degenerateWA]

36mm is pretty small. This is one of those few exceptions because the dimensions play so well with each other. I know if this one works on my wrist then it'll work on yours. 41-43mm diameter w/ any lug2lug less than 50mm is my goldilocks size

[@childrolland]

Had the opportunity to get one brand new for 100$, but hesitated to pull the trigger ... feel really sorry right now... Thank you for the review! Always enjoyed watching your watch endeavors!

[@degenerateWA]

There will always be good deals, especially from suckers like me lol. Always appreciate your feedback🤘

Thanks for the review!

[@descendrion3582]

Thanks for the review 👍

[@degenerateWA]

No problem 🍻

[@Trapvision3D]

This would serve as an everyday work watch for me.

[@degenerateWA]

That would be a great application for this watch.

Great review .. I got this watch recently but I was wondering where can I find a jubilee bracelet for this watch or any different straps ?

[@degenerateWA]

Strapcode makes bracelets specifically made for the SARB033

[@kyeyimloh5190]

Hey man awesome review, just got the blue dial yesterday and it's so beautiful. I also bought the namoki case back but wondering do I also need any sort of movement spacer (I saw it on the namoki website)?

[@degenerateWA]

I did not use any spacer at all. Just did a one-for-one swap with the casebacks at it went on just fine.

[@kyeyimloh5190]

@@degenerateWA alright thanks!!!

[@rasimnakic]

I hope Seiko will refresh this one as well the SNKL23

[@degenerateWA]

I would get one for sure🤘

[@JoseSilva_]

Hello friend. This model in the pictures looks polished to me. Could you tell me the code for the matte/brushed version?

[@degenerateWA]

The ref no. is SNKE01, so as long as the one you're looking at is also a SNKE01 then it will be the same. Pictures are usually misleading.

[@garyallum3484]

Very good review. Well done.

[@degenerateWA]

Awesome, thank you for the positive feedback

[@JDM417]

The FB page is full with great time pieces. I'll be uploading my time pieces soon. 😉

[@degenerateWA]

Looking forward to it brotha🤘

[@TeoBlu]

Bad Reviews! - This man will make you spend money! Got mine as spotless display model for 75 bucks. For some reason this design is the most comfortable Seiko 5 I ever worn - and thinking of course of getting slim solid case-back, grrr.

[@degenerateWA]

Great deal! I've always been a bad influence even as a child😁

[@manslevinsson9973]

Great review. I found it for 160 dollars here in sweden. Would you say that it is worth it for that price?

[@degenerateWA]

I think so. Of course everyone's budget it different, but personally I think anything around $150 for an automatic Seiko is a good deal no matter what.

[@manslevinsson9973]

@@degenerateWA ok thank you! I was thinking of maybe changing the strap for a leather strap. This might be difficult due to the integrated bracelett. Do you have any thoughts on this? Maybe I could buy a normal 20mm strap and cut some notches on the sides?

[@degenerateWA]

@@manslevinsson9973 that could work as long as you have the right tools. It will look either very good or awful depending on that 😆

[@niekharis3036]

I bought it but my Sunday sign is yellow colour instead of red color...I'm confius is it fake?

[@degenerateWA]

Interesting. I tried researching "yellow sunday on Seiko" and nothing of interest came up. I'm not sure if it's a fake, but the best way to find out is to verify all the markings/numbers on the caseback, dial, and movement all match up to a genuine Seiko. I would also make sure the store you purchased it from is a reputable dealer.

[@aidanalexander1938]

Is it hard to adjust the bracelet? Can the average person do it, or do you recommend having a watch specialist do it?

[@degenerateWA]

It's not hard if you have experience and the right tools. Without those it will be frustrating but not impossible.

[@Trapvision3D]

If I didn't know any better, it seems like this piece is not in your top 10 watches of all times🤔

[@degenerateWA]

All watches of all time hold a special place in my heart Trap🤘

[@german7643]

Woah buddy calm down, show me where that bracelet hurt you 😆

Non-hacking😱

[@degenerateWA]

I wouldn't worry too much about non-hacking. Personally I think hacking is a feature that is prioritized too much on mechanical/autos. I prefer hacking, but if it's non-hacking it's not going to ruin the experience for me.

Can you show me the link to caseback at namokimods. Thanks
