It's not a poor man's watch it's rational man's watch. A man that respects his own work, money and famili and is responsible too.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Absolutely agree

[@bryanryan4504]

I love your comment. So many people in the watch community lose sight of the forest focusing only on the image and brand names and are buying watches foolishly even though there is no accomplishment or life character to even merit it.

[@farisalmanashi1349]

😂 take it easy man

[@KennyCollection]

I agree with this such an eye opening comment for me

[@andromedagodit2492]

@@KennyCollection Exactly. Buying a 20K watch just because it's a well known brand n because someone advised so... Just doesn't make any financial sense. Whether one can afford it or not... Passion n love aside... I understand that we may Want a watch for all its features at 3K, 5K, 10K or more... But let's face it, we mostly wear them Only on One Wrist? N we don't need a 20K watch, 'scarce', 'fake waiting list', 'marketing jargon' to tell the time... COSC?? I'd get a 30 bucks Casio n it's even Better than COSC... 😂🤣

[@mr22guy]

Very elegant yet also a bit sporty. Maybe that's why it gets compared to a datejust/day-date - not because of direct similarity but because it's beautiful, simple, and versatile.

[@watchyouwant1617]

You’ll nailed it! Thank you for your comment!

[@stokes8762]

Paid £62 for this watch on Amazon in May 2018. Still going strong. Great for small wrists.

[@ptman4lf1]

Agreed! I have this watch but brushed the lugs and kept the bezel polished. Love it and the size... And the loom is fantastic at this price range!

[@watchyouwant1617]

Great idea to brush the lugs. Maybe I‘ll try that! Thank you very much for your comment!

[@idrinkpowersteeringfluid]

Got any videos or photos of it with the brushed lugs?

[@johnfranklin5277]

I love mine, gray face, beautiful. I have no issues with the bracelet. Its very comfortable, lightweight, and is only noisy when shaken. Certainly makes no sounds when on the wrist. Mine only gains about 1 minute a week. Perfectly acceptable if not better than expected. Good job on the video.

[@thehooch-man2657]

Great video. I've been thinking about picking up the SNXS73. I've got the SNXS77 (blue dial) and absolutely love it. I paired it with a Seiko-branded president bracelet ($20) and it looks absolutely fantastic. It's incredible to think I spent $100 on the watch.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Thanks man! Yes, it’s an absolute bargain for what you get

[@Gabryel243]

Where did you buy the bracelet?

[@tamdam]

Got this exact model from Monsterwatches a few days ago, modded with sapphire. Been waiting for the oyster from Rolamy for a few weeks now, but I gotta say, the stock bracelet is not as nippy as they usually are for some reason. Actually very comfortable to wear. Anyways, this is my fifth Seiko 5 (of the old ones) and currently my fav watch overall. Gorgeous dial

[@watchyouwant1617]

Totally agree. Nice upgrades (sapphire 👌🏻)!

I've had two of the snxs79 in and out of the door over the last five years and as I watch this I think I will try the 73.

[@jay_ohhlayy]

I love the bracelet on that watch!

[@Visitor555]

The same thing happened to me also lol, i bought snxs77 and then i sold it cuz i feel it was too small for my wrist and i wasnt happy with no hacking and winding but now i want it back it has that charm. I also had snxs79 but i like blue much better.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Good to hear that I‘m not alone. The blue one is also very cool. Thank you very much for your comment!

[@mikexmartinart]

I also brushed out the lugs of the case on my SNXS79 and put it on the oyster-style bracelet from rolamy, although i do quite like the stock strap as well. Very fond if the 7s26 movement myself, maybe i've been relatively lucky but all the ones that i have run within a range of about -2 to +8

[@hemantamallick2118]

How much in Indian corrence please tell me something else.

[@Bhethar]

I have it and I must say I enjoy it while it’s not perfect. The bracelet is terrible and I somehow managed to scratch the Crystal. Apart from that it’s fantastic. You will feel like wearing a little jewel.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Thanks for sharing. Hope you’‘ve found a replacement for the crystal!

[@Bhethar]

@@watchyouwant1617 I wonder if I can use poly watch on it. To be honest I’m saving money to get a GS and this watch was so inexpensive I might just wait before I fix it.

[@earlbee3196]

The SNXS line is a fantastic and inexpensive dress watch in the Seiko 5 line. There are so many different dial designs and color options and it's hard to find a better watch for the price. The bracelet, though, leaves a lot to be desired. Never fear Seiko-holics, I've got your back! I decided to release 2 of my most popular bracelets for this series - the Executive and Lincoln.

Have the same model, dial variant...really astonishing dial quality for the money. Keep it for my daughter, when she is able to handle a watch, probably should get it out and wear it again myself...dont see much value in "in house" hear, its a basic movement with poor data, will last long time, but has not much to offer otherwise.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Great watch, however i have a question, black dial or this model is better for as a casual everyday watch? Im 22 years old guy, thanks

[@watchyouwant1617]

If it‘ll be my only watch and I‘m ok with the fact that dark dials wear (visually) a little smaller than bright ones, I would go for the black dial.

[@planetdee3587]

It is strange they went with 19mm lug size for straps because my Snxj89 has the same case shape but has 20mm lugs.

[@watchyouwant1617]

Totally agree

[@fearless6947]

I ordered a new oyster bracelet. I went for the curve one, not the straight one, so it matches the watch. I'm glad I ordered the 19mm. I have to wait 2 months. 20mm would have been better, as many sellers sell that and they deliver quicker. I tried to size my bracelet but it's too difficult for me lol. Just have to wait now

Because of its rather low water resistance I would say no. For an everyday watch in the sense of one piece that does everything I would need 100m of water resistance
