Congrats on a fantastic piece of horology 💪

[@IImorteII]

Your reviews are pretty interresting. It's great that's you always precisely describe the way a watch sits on a wrist. I didn't meet anyone on YT who does it as great as you do.

[@TimedSquare]

Thank you so much! I try to do a review exactly like I would like to watch them... except when I forget the lume shot :D And yes, having a 6 inch wrist, fit and comfort matters a lot to me - I figured out I'm not the only one. Thanks for watching!

[@IImorteII]

@@TimedSquare I've got 6 inch wrist too, so I know exactly what are you taking about :) Keep on doing your work. Good content!

[@TimedSquare]

I was so obsessed with the dial that I forgot to make a lume shot. The lume on this watch is SKX level, this thing shines BRIGHT! If you don't like everyday watches that have lume, well this one is not for you... I love it! You're always in for a nice surprise when you get inside after a walk in the sun :)

[@katherinep708]

The lume is not made of radioactive right?

[@jwags24]

Man, you produce some great reviews. I like that you’ve chosen some budget watches. Keep them coming !

[@wangox]

I have one and i love it! Such great and fancy looking watch for that small of a price. And the best thing, it's fully automatic! No more quartz for me

[@NeilsHighLights]

You've sold me on this watch on the leather NATO strap, phenomenal advice, thanks much. Great video sir.

My father bought my grandfather and I one of these in the 60s. These are stylish watches that say smart money. This is a beautiful watch and your video does it proud. I am an amateur watchmaker and this is an impressive design.

[@mr.p6697]

I'm so glad I got the last one of this watch that was available in my country. And in sale price! Unbelievable quality and aesthetics. I just adore this time piece.

[@EzzzR]

I just purchased the last one in australia, cant wait to get it.

[@v_nigel31]

Thank you for this nice review! Just bought mine this March 2022. It's so beautiful & nice in actual, especially the sunburst dial! Definitely worth the buy! It's also ideal for those who are planning to buy their first ever Seiko watch. Highly recommended 💯

[@andrewe.8321]

I bought one for my dad and one for myself some time ago. My dad never takes it off. It’s light, it’s versatile, and it’s all class. Beautiful watch.

[@tomppytlittlell1372]

Great daily driver which can be regulated to good accuracy. Mine was quite magnetised when it arrived from Amazon by post and running at +20spd. After demagnetising it now runs at +- 2 to 4spd worn which is amazing for a low cost automatic so worth checking yours with a compass.

[@tomppytlittlell1372]

@Alan Champagne I bought an inexpensive de-magnetizer off Amazon. There are vids on here showing how to use them. Mine works well.

[@barto2397]

@Alan Champagne whats your opinion on this watch? Its so beatiful to me, but i heard and read that after few months it breaks and stops working.

[@truthseeker8483]

Do watches get magnetised in the postal service through the use of electronic scanners???

[@tomppytlittlell1372]

@@truthseeker8483 Seems possible. I had my 1962 Omega Seamster Deville returned by post after a full service in 2018 but it was running faster than when shown on the watchmakers completed service timgrapher picture. Again a quick Wiz over the demagnitiser & watch accuracy came back to +/- 2 sec per day. Excellent for a 60 year old automatic watch.

[@maximilianmohre1886]

I really like the DJ and I really like this one because both are great watches for what they are. Thank you for the really good review!

[@stevenharper6888]

Just took delivery of the same watch after watching your review! I have Breitlings and other more expensive watches but felt the need for the Seiko 5 in my collection. Awesome little watch . Amazing for the money !

How to purchase Seiko watch

[@surfside75]

Love that UFO case😍 -I bought 5 different versions.. snxs80gold, snxs77blue "Superman", snxs73siver, snxs79dark grey and the ultra 70's gold watch snxl72 🕺😁🍻 . I then bought some 2x to put away as I believe any Seiko5 running a 7s26 movement is discontinued just like the skx007😐

[@rationalmystic5]

Great video. I like your presentation style. Keep up the good job.

[@johnwang9914]

I like the Seiko 5 sub brand, at least before they shifted from the 37 mm form factor to the current 40 mm form factor but remember they leave out the manual wind and seconds hacking features with the Seiko 5. Ironically the unbranded versions of the mechanisms sold to other manufacturers, watchmakers and hobbyists differ by having those features added back in so a decent clone might actually have those missing features. Note that the day (day of week) setting on a Seiko 5 is not adjusted by pulling the crown out but by pushing it in like a push button which can lead to accidental adjustment when you push the crown in after adjusting the time or date (day of month). Also, as with all mechanical watches, if it is running fast, have it demagnetized (degaussed) not adjusted. Most jewelers will degauss it for free and a degausser only costs $15. After being demagnetized, it will intentionally run slow but will speed up over time as magnetization is picked up and adjusting the time forward is less likely to wear out the gears then adjusting the time backwards. I really miss the stainless steel case backs. The modern glass backs just feels gimmicky to me. Besides, a lot of information are stamped on the case backs both inside and out.

[@thebarak]

I just bought one, took off the new bracelet and have a leather strap. It really does look like a Datejust without a bubble. I am saving it for a dress watch, so it is actually good that is an auto and not a quartz. No battery to die between uses and it only needs to be accurate for a few hours at a time. What a good looking watch.

[@jacknjill3000]

I’m looking for one now in Ebay and now they are asking like $180, and probably close to retail and not a $100. watch. I did see one going for around $188. and it was modified with a bubble Safire crystal and the jagged Rolex bezel or the edge thing around the crystal and a jubilee band. Looked really like a Rolex and nice. Didn’t know they had those parts to mod or maybe this watch fits the after market Rolex Oyster parts.

[@thebarak]

@@jacknjill3000 I sold mine, hardly ever worn. My eyesight just was not up to it. The KZbin videos are so enlarged you tend to overlook how tiny it is.

[@earlbee3196]

Uncle's notes 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.

I think you're right, they appear to have the exact same case. That happens quite a lot in the Seiko 5 range. Thanks for sharing!

you convinced me, best review ever i am subscribed

[@sideout1999]

Great video. Just a tip on the bracelet. Remove the links to shift the clasp so it rests flat on your wrist. No need to bend the metal.

Great video I looking something like this for smart casual weekend look. The height of the wrist bothers me I came across the SNK361 which seems to wear more flat. Any opinions between the two ?

[@afruitmedley365]

I bought one of these recently as my first Seiko, and it is genuinely a stunning watch. I went with the silver dial, but am now looking to also buy the blue as I like it so much. For the price, it is arguably unbeatable when you think what it offers.

[@pavledunic8491]

I can't decide if I should go for black or silver dial.

Good review. I just picked up a blue dial version of this series.

[@lonesomepiper6783]

Hi @times square, the Seiko Quartz 7546 8360 from the 1970,s is the first, I believe, of this big lumed indexes dress watches. I have a 1978 one that looks so modern as this SNXS79k

[@bbayat4093]

I bought one today after watching your review of the SNXS79.

[@timlodes382]

where did you find one?? i am searching for weeks, its sold out everywhere..

[@malbug]

I have the SNXS77, blue dial. Very nice watch. Yes, the stock bracelet is cheapo, but I like the way it looks. The 19mm lug width does make it difficult to get leather straps, though. Can’t beat the price!

[@TimedSquare]

Couldn't agree more. A 20 mm strap will work though, you just have to squeeze it in! after just a few days, it will be all good.

[@alexthelegoguy4504]

I modded mine and added a black day/date wheel. The white ones really bugged me. I like the white wheels on the 73, 75 and 77 though

[@WatchGeek]

Great review of a classic!! I mentioned this model in my SNX111 review and I do mention the shape of the case as one of the things I disliked. I am still fighting the urge to buy one, in blue or this grey

[@TimedSquare]

Thank you! I totally understand your point. On the one hand I LOVE this dial, on the other hand, this case... come on. It it was in a SNK393 case, it would be absolute perfect. Actually I got my SNK393 back from repair under guarantee (the movement was dead on arrival), I wonder if a switch is possible 🤔Thanks for watching!

[@YGDification]

@@TimedSquare :Between this model and the blue dial variant ( snxs 77 k1), i think about to buy myself !I have the posibility to check at my local store here in Romania and at the first sight i have more impressed by this gray dial variant than the blue dial one !This gray dial variant play with the light more beautifull than the blue one and is more sobre and serious !ps: And you know ..... gray/ black dial work perfect in every condition as a elegant watch than blue dial !With an black or brown strap looks amazing !The original bracelet is still ok and confortable (like the original bracelet of the SNX 111), and can also been warn as it is !Great watch ! I think in december i buy one ! Great review !Respect !

[@TimedSquare]

@@YGDification Thank you so much and totally agree with what you said. Cheers!

[@TimedSquare]

Yup. This dial will probably go into my SNK393 case some time in the future!

[@Martrex296]

The Seiko SNKK71 is probably a better option for roughly the same price, nicer case.

[@eduardopo8908]

Hello. I purchased the watch last week. In blue sphere. I changed the metal strap for a leather one like you. I don't know if it's my case, but the dial on the side, at 6 o'clock on the dial. It presents some marks or scratches caused by the fastening of the original metal strap. Specifically for the two metal extensions at twelve and six, which makes the strap fit perfectly to the spherical shape of the dial. Can someone confirm that this is so, that the original strap scratches the side itself. Observing these scratches if we opt for a leather strap. Thank you very much

[@thisispw]

Great watch, superb value. Currently enjoying my Traska Commuter with a similar vibe.

[@yuu0minae]

Just got this watch 2 weeks ago. was gonna get the snkl23 because of the case finishing but the prices for that model are through the roof. besides the dial on the snxs79 is way better, so I thought I would be seeing the dial more than the case and went for the snxs79. this thing is definately amazing, awesome dial, small formfactor, day date, runs within cosc straight out of the box. yes the bracelet feels extremely cheap and pulls hairs some times, but on the other hand the watch feels very light on the wrist and makes it a nice every day piece. definately a steal for under 100EUR!!! (got it from amazon 90EUR incl shipping)

[@michaelyeo547]

Got mine from WATCHSHOP 3days ago,replaced the bracelet with a chocolate brown basketweave leather strap and lowered the height of the lugs by 0.9mm with a 7s26-0600 solid caseback. Have worn the watch since then and over the moon with it as it keeps perfect time to the second and still on par with my android and computer internet time after 72 hours, AWESOME!!!!

[@alexwise-]

Hi, where did you buy the caseback?

[@darioscomicschool1111]

THANK YOU! I am thinking of a Seiko or a Orient Kamasu.

[@davidsonviray1403]

I’m planning to buy these dial and silver/light dial to begin my automatic watch collection, do you think it’s odd to buy same watch just different dials?, should i choose only one of them and look for another model to buy?

[@tomcatzorro8778]

The way the watch sits on the wrist disqualifies it from buying. Nice video by the way. Thanks 👍

[@mirkorossi4865]

Please, can you suggest where to buy a compatible metal bracelet, more well refined than the original one?

[@leonkullig5852]

I love this watch, but the only thing I'm not sure about is the high fit on the wrist. Does it bother you in the day or is it not that big of a deal

[@beardrustofficial]

I always thought a dress watch should hide under the sleeve so in this case it will be hard to call it that way. On the other hand everyone has a different wrist, I e. g. have it more sunken so the watch does not stand out so much (I have Citizen Promaster and Seiko 5KX which case is similar and it sits quite right). Anyways I consider buying this watch but in white colorway SNXS73 😉

[@philz2120]

I wanted one for a long time but I couldnt get one. So I bought a Seiko SNE039P1 instead. But then I saw one used and within 2 minutes I bought it for 90€ and I have to say Iam happy :D Now I have 2 beatiful Seikos and I have to decide each day which one I will wear :D

[@arindambasu9850]

Classic no frills look which is super versatile. Just that it sits a bit too high but other perfect for an everyday beater.

[@TimedSquare]

Yes, that case is kind of a shame - it was nearly perfect!

[@deepakbissyan2669]

in 2022, which watch will you recommend to buy among snxs79k and snkl23

[@alexharris8500]

The gap under the case at the lugs is the deal breaker for me.

[@maikel06k1]

Great review! It is such a nice watch.

[@manuelazcorracabrera]

Hi!! QUESTION: why the watch does not have any reference of where it is made? I have a Seiko 5 with the same problem. Can someone tell where these versions come from?

[@davidsonviray1403]

Which do you think you prefer for everyday use? This dial or the silver dial? Can’t decide between the two

[@mk462]

Does anyone know if you can swap the bezel with a fluted one ?

[@shaneweightman]

Brilliant colour, comfy to wear, I have the very same one even has good lume cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

[@johnatspray]

I had a Orient day date. Liked it a lot but it was a bit blingy perhaps. I sold it because it didn’t get enough wrist time and I basically got every dollar back and it was a part of another watch buy. But if you really want a Rolex day date (and not have the money and you don’t want a fake) then I think the Orient day date offers some very interesting alternatives

[@Rick-ve5lx]

My workplace has multiple bright ceiling lights. In such lighting the sunburst dial made it hard to distinguish the hands at a glance. Good otherwise.

[@Trex100]

Interesting observation. I haven't had that problem, but I can imagine.

[@BEYSeamaster1]

I have about 60 watches of all shapes and prices. This one is my favorite of all of them. I have the grey, blue and white/silver dials. All gorgeous watches, but the grey dial is the most beautiful of all of them.

[@danijeljenko184]

5:11 You didn't have to bend the metal part. Instead when shortening the bracelet you should only remove the bracelet's links below the watch not above the watch. That way the position of long metal part would be exactly below your wrist. It's a great watch! Thanks for reviewing it for us!

[@DG69GOD]

I have a this watch and a smaller wrist and removing the links below the watch wasn’t enough. I had to remove links from both sides which made the clasp off center and it sticks out, so I can vouch for the bending part.

[@silverhawk911]

I really do like the dial appearance, dial indices and the fact that it looks so much like a Rolex DateJust. However, I don't quite like the crown at 4 o'clock and the watch case. If only it had the crown at 3 o'clock, I definitely wouldn't think twice about buying it and with at least a 4R36 movement.

[@chefandy72]

Can you find an SQ Sports vintage early 80's replacement? It looks so similar to that but with the perfect shaped case. People don't understand how important the case shape is and Seiko keeps on failing. 5-10 seconds a day?.. why not a quartz?

[@justindore684]

What's up with the day on these? I have seen all kinds of different ones. I'm looking for a Japanese day model

[@manoelfelipe1807]

Well, not considering the day-date functionality I'd say this watch is closer to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. There is a Seiko 5 that looks like a Datejust quite a bit, even its bezel. Unfortunately I can't remember the model.

[@deepakbissyan2669]

I am confused between, snxs79k and snkl23, can you please suggest one

[@Ferien7]

I wish the sarb033 had this dial. The one on the sarb033 has polished indices only, which makes them hard to see under normal light. The indices on dial of the snxs79 are white with outlines, which makes them easier to see. Plus the white indices are better looking than polished indices.

[@fredlao6655]

I wear an Orient CEM64001W and Orient Orient FER2A001B0 . Like your seiko with the leather strap looks really good .

[@Dany-ip6fj]

What do you think is the best Orient brand or Seiko bramd

[@SF_Curious]

How good is the lume at dark? And how many mts water resistance? You think the black is better looking than the sun bursts blue dial?

[@grindererrofficial3755]

Very nice man. For those money, that dial is like little miracle :) My snx do +2s/d and with positioning over night im still around +3/-3 ( but mostly about +/- 1) in 2 weeks - from box. EDIT: I forgot, lume is high quality and in my case at same level as lume at my skx diver, it means i can read time whole night.

[@TimedSquare]

Yeah, it appears that I forgot about the lume too 😅 and yes, it's crazy bright, very impressive for the price. This thing * is * a miracle. I wonder if Seiko is cooking something with the 5 line, more and more models are being discontinued... I'll keep an eye on this. In the meantime, this SNaXS kicks a$$!

[@tskwared667]

This is one of my first watches so I don't have any other experience with lume to compare to, but on my snxs the lume starts out very bright and then dims pretty fast to the point where I can only see it in pitch black within 10-20 minutes. It does last all night, but is extremely dim, is this how it's supposed to be?

[@grindererrofficial3755]

@@tskwared667 its very hard to compare or claim like this, coz everyone has different eye "abilities", somebody has glasses or some problems. Even same type of watch can be different in many ways depends at age, air humidity in area where are watches mostly situated, depends even at mood of worker who assembled it or who aplied lume layers. I had several watches (automatic) in price range 60-2000 dolls and skx has very good lume and is in my TOP 5 lumed watches. My snx has realy good lume, as i said in my opinion same LUMIBRITE compound like in skx where it performs very very good. Lume at watches are not supossed to extremly shine whole night, its normal its dimming thru time, all compounds do same, important is that "residual light performance". Advice - to charge lume use UV flash light at for example 12oclock at night, you should be able to read time in 5oclock morning. Dont forget - night vision or night mode for human eyes needs to be switched on cca 10mins in dark. So let your eyes adapt to dark and you should be able to read the time. Sorry ma englando im not native speaker , im naive speaker :)))

[@marcelocarvalho8929]

What's the difference between SNXS73K and SNXS79K (besides the color of course :-))? Because I just find the SNXS73K in my country (Brazil). And it doesn't worth it for me to buy from the US for example because I'll have to pay very expensive importing taxes. Do I'm thinking about buying the SNXS73K in that case....

[@tangchiprathomo819]

Hi Alex, Your new sub here. I really want to buy this watch, but the only thing stop me from buying this watch is its only 30 m water resistant. Do you have any suggestion for another alternative with the same size and aesthetic with 10 bar feature?

[@jacknjill3000]

There’s another Seiko Rolex lookalike (SNX361) with a red second hand and black day and date. Also this model comes also in a gray face and has the same models number.

[@jacknjill3000]

Oh and the SNX361 has a flatter or smaller back case so it lays flat which also looks like the Rolex Oyster.

[@EugeneC219]

Love this watch got it last week

[@oes2546]

This was my first proper watch, and it is amazing! Mine has a rate of +0,5s/day with a very tight variance. I got super lucky and it runs like a chronometer out of the box, unbelievable. It also handles shocks like a boss. I've been cycling on cobbled streets (with an undampened fork) and shooting shotguns while wearing it, and it still runs as it always has, no problem. I actually think the case shape is great. That curve on the 9o'clock side is beautiful IMO. I wished it existed a 3rd party bracelet for it, with solid end links. There is something about the lug shape that make it look a bit too feminine (for my taste), on the leather straps I've tried it on. I was actually looking for a good leather strap for it, right now as I discovered this video. Great review of a great watch! :D

[@TimedSquare]

0.5 sec/ day is CRAZY accurate, great! TBH, I never checked if Strapcode made a bracelet for this one but I don't think so. Straight end bracelets are still an option, that could give this watch a new flair. Thanks for watching!

[@TimedSquare]

@Roland You can regulate the 7S26 movement to get closer to COSC, or at least within 5 to 10 seconds. I happen to not care... Regarding the SNXS79K, I talk about 20mm Nato leather / suede strap in my latest live show. Check around 38:25 here :kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZXFY6l6o6moi6c This is the way to go!

[@MrOstefar]

Good review, positive and enthustiastic style. No doubt that you love what you do. Beautiful watch; that dial is amazing. The bracelet looks like a Seiko SQ bracelet from the 80's or 90's - I remember buying one in '94 from new which had, if I remember correct, exactly the same bracelet and clasp. Maybe they wanted to give it a neo-vintage trait? Or a was it surplus of bracelets from then ;) Anyway your leather straps color looks nice with that dial and the polished case. So now we have a Submariner alternative in the Orient and a Daydate alternative in the SNX - to complete the trilogy we need a budget, quality mechanical chronograph. If it must be automatic, there are 2 options, the Valjoux 7750. The cheapest watch with this movement will probably be at least $750. Then there are the Chinese copies. Or should we go for a manual winder? One with the russian Poljot 3133, or a Chinese alternative. For example, the Alpha SG2903, which should be around $150 and looks like a lot of watch for the money.

Thank you so much for your message and support! I will explore some chronographs in the future but currently I'm more leaning towards G-Shocks which I find a lot of fun, too. Funny for a small-wristed guy, I know ;) I gifted an Alpha to my brother and the winding stem gave way just after a few months - weird since it is supposed to be a Miyota movement in there but now I'm not quite sure. A Poljot might do the trick because there are a lot of them, and fun too. Did I say that I want my collection to be fun? Thanks again and see you real soon! Cheers

Salve, dove posso acquistare un bel bracciale jubilee per questo orologio?

[@facethewatch3577]

The problem is in the caseback. If it's a solid caseback and not a crystal one, the fit will be awesome.

[@haloworld121212]

face the watch just look for the vintage one most of them were made in japan and had a metal caseback

[@michaelyeo547]

You can reduce the thickness by about 0.9mm if you replace the glass caseback with a solid metal one from the 7s26-0060(o/dia 32mm x 29.9mm screw dia).According to my research online you can also adapt most of the solid casebacks from Seiko 7009 series with a 29.9mm case screw without interfering with the selfwinding rotor movement. I am expecting delivery of an extra 2 different, lower solid metal casebacks which will hopefully skim off a little more. If you are not concerned about losing the glass caseback(the 7s26 is a workhorse and not exactly decorative),or not having matching model/case numbers,I personally think,every effort made in reducing the overall height of this watch will lower the lugs to the wrist and increase the aesthetic appeal of this timepiece, whether you change the strap or not.

Michael Yeo I am also interested in a solid case back. Have you already received yours and does it fit? Cheers!

[@michaelyeo547]

@@johnnyl.4911 Presently I'm wearing it on a 7S26-0060 solid caseback, no problem. Still waiting for the other 2 experimental ones to arrive. The problem is whether they will interfere with the selfwinding rotor movement. Will keep you posted on my findings when I fit them.

[@gabardjean-paul3779]

one great idea is to change the actual back with a solid back to reduce overall thickness

[@noahahmed8247]

Hey again brother do you have a watch similar to this that you would recommend but one that sits a bit lower and fits it a bit better? I’m still planning on getting this one as well I just wish it would sit a bit more down

[@williamjackson9057]

Maybe try a Casio Edifice. Really slim

[@haping1]

Great watch, but the bracelet..... why didn't they polish the endlinks to match the case?! Seiko delivers 2 seperate items here.

[@flpmrtnz4920]

no problem with those spaces, nato straps do the same on any watch

[@talalfarooq432]

Seiko 5 snxs79 and snxs77 just have the color difference, am I right???

[@bowooks]

I have one seiko 5 look like this, but the dial is black with square pattern and it shows automatic 21 jewels. What series is that?

[@ciajuin]

Bowo Saputra Japan series

[@DwyaneWadeCounty]
