Why The SNXS Is Seiko's BEST Value Proposition Under $100 in 2020

Seiko's prices have been a roller coaster, with watches like the SKX soaring in price due to its popularity. As a consequence, there aren't many sub-$100 Seiko watches left that still offer a great value proposition. While the SNKL23 has received most of the affordable-end glory, let's instead take a look at a watch that you can still buy new for under $100: The Seiko SNXS.

I really like the serious Seiko 5. I have a special affection for SNK 809 and SNK381. They all have a perfect size 37mm in diameter, it is very charming. The metal used in the cases are of excellent quality, stainless and solid, have a passivation layer that makes them always look new.

[@ruairiobradaigh9810]

I have mine since 2012 still going strong, very accurate only a couple of seconds out during the day, I love it 👍

[@SgtHooch]

Good video. The SNXS is a very good-looking watch. It's incredible how much Seiko can pack in for such an affordable price (under $100). I think you lucked out at that, price it's still a good value at $100. For those with tight budgets and looking for a handsome piece, this is a very solid choice.

[@the1010watchclub]

Thank you! It must have been my lucky day because I haven't been able to find many with a price that low since but you're right, it would still great value at $100 too

[@oJay2008o]

I own this watch and absolutely love it. could easily be mistaken for a much higher end price point.

[@darrellgoosey]

Another good video on affordable watches. Love Seiko.

[@the1010watchclub]

Thank you!

I own the silver dial version on an aftermarket Oyster bracelet and it makes a stunning, understated, classically-sized, sporty retro dress watch. Best purchase ever!

[@the1010watchclub]

Very nice! You're inspiring me to take a look at one of those bracelets for myself

[@3rdstone1]

Same here, I got a tip on a aftermarket Oyster-style bracelet in which you can use the original endlinks and fit the aftermarket in, since the mid-links have same width. The clasp is cheap and simple, but the bracelet over all works fine with the SNXS7* models and looks great. Have the silver dial as well. Great value.

[@YashodhanGoenka]

Great review ! Small suggestion - it would be better if you’d shown the watch first with the original bracelet and then with the mod as many buyers like me wouldn’t bother with getting additional straps. Great shots nonetheless !

[@the1010watchclub]

Fair enough!

[@johnfranklin5277]

I paid 165 here in US for this watch, brand new. It was more expensive because this is J series marked designating manufactured IN JAPAN. K Series are from Malaysia, China etc. Nice watches.

[@sarmadmunir3895]

Amazing video sir . Keep it up

[@the1010watchclub]

Thank you for the support!

[@vincevice3729]

Most beautiful watch!

[@26ufk]

When I saw the last sale of Snxs79 sent to Turkey on October 21st on Amazon USA, I immediately placed an order and was very happy. Then I filled in the requested information in the e-mail from Aramex cargo and sent it. One day later, I saw that the cargo was damaged and canceled on my shopping page. !! It didn't seem very convincing to me. Even though they thought that my money would be refunded within 3-5 days, no payment was made yet. I started to worry about this too. I don't know if anyone has experienced this kind of thing like me..

[@bryanlee6065]

I chose the SNKL45 over the SNSX79, and do not regret it :) the case is more curved and imo fits my slim wrist much better than the flatter/pointier case from the 79 would.

[@michaelbock149]

... get both ... for less than the price of one stainless steel Rolex band link ...

[@jonathanlloyd2306]

I have the snxs77 with a blue dial and there is just something about the dial that makes it the best looking I've ever seen. For me the case shape fits perfecty. The protruding case back sits in the hollow near my ulna 'bump' so it just looks like a thin watch. My only issue is when it stops keeping time (by the way it's currently running 3 seconds fast, incredible). The service costs more than the watch!

[@the1010watchclub]

Now you're making me want to add the blue to the collection!

[@jonathanlloyd2306]

The blue is beautiful, and goes so well with the blue/green lume 😀

[@3rdstone1]

Yeah, the blue on these dials is stunning. By the way, when it will need service (which will take at least 10 years), just get a NH35 and put it in. Will be cheaper than service, and it will be an upgrade. Maybe Seiko even has new affordable upgraded movements that will fit by then lol.

[@SF_Curious]

My only complain is the number 5 on the logo/dial. If it didn’t have it will look cleaner and you need a bracelet which a good one cost 120usd. Can you link the bracelet you got or other options?

[@krzysztofmikasz1992]

Great video! I wear this watch everyday since oct 2016 (production date: may 2014) and it still runs just like new. I absolutely love it

[@the1010watchclub]

Awesome!

[@factorybear5264]

Greetings and thank you. Mine just arrived yesterday, and although I have plenty of watches, I really want this one to become my daily workhorse. I do have two questions for you though. Do you shower with it on, no problem? And have you ever swam with it on?

[@edjo3430]

I have a very thin wrist. 37 is upper limit. Any 36mm seiko 5????

[@gabrielblancoblancosanchez8950]

The thing about the watch floating over your wrist for me it is Indeed a deal breaker. I was planning on buying this precious looking watch or other model SNK. Thanks God I watched that shot of you carrying it on this video. If Seiko can't do a mechanical watch that falls flat on our wrist, better don't do it. Try quartz then! (yeah, I'm annoyed and even angry)

[@the1010watchclub]

Glad I could help. Honestly though when you're wearing it, you don't really notice the "float"

[@ditonaufal5022]

is this the same as the 7s26-0480 version?

[@jacknjill3000]

Great watch and I’m looking for one and just missed one on eBay.

[@jacknjill3000]

Also when I looked for thos watch SNXS79, many of the listing shows a similar one with a black day and date and I think a red second hand. So my question is does Seiko used the exact model for the different models? I just got back into Seiko and playing catch up and let me tell you bc they don’t name their watches brained saying it’s a Seiko 5, it’s really difficult to keep up with the varied models. Or the one I looked at is a fake bc they I messaged them and 2 (maybe same dealer) blocked me.

[@ahms8806]

Great review! What is the dial color? Is it the black you are reviewing? It looks stunning but on amazon the black one looks too bland. What is the name of the color of your watch?

[@the1010watchclub]

I believe it's called an anthracite dial... almost a charcoal color

[@ahms8806]

@@the1010watchclub Thanks!

[@manuelmikewa388]

Aside from the gold indices on the 75, is the grey dial the same as this 79?

[@the1010watchclub]

I think the dial on the 79 is darker, more like a graphite than grey

[@harsha916]

Brother, please share the link for this bracelet🙏🏽

[@the1010watchclub]

It came with the watch. I'll try and look around though because it perfectly matches it

[@pedromarinho456]

Is it true that the watch only weighs 89 grams? if so is it not too light for an automatic?

[@the1010watchclub]

Yes, that’s how much mine weighs. Automatic movements like the 7S26 are pretty light, and the bracelet links are hollow which decreases weight as well

[@chrisvan4328]

Where did you get that for $80 I see them all for around $93

[@the1010watchclub]

Just lucky on eBay I think

[@user-ji2fm3bt4y]

When you say super clone, it better be Swiss made. Only gussl can achieve this level of perfection.

[@subbaramirpoondla1889]

DO REQIRE BATTERY FOT IT .. azAutomatic means what I would likevto buy.Dobyou and you have shop in Cupertino

[@scottlauren3145]

Where did you find one for 80 bucks?

[@the1010watchclub]

I found it for $86 on eBay back in November 2020. The prices have definitely jumped since then but here's an eBay link to a new listing (jan 20 2021) that is currently at $68 USD, although there's additional shipping: ebay.us/ubYWzT

[@scottlauren3145]

Also, do 20mm straps really fit or must you use a 19mm strap? I've heard both answers...

[@the1010watchclub]

It depends on the strap material. I can squeeze in a 20mm cloth nato, but you’d probably have more of a problem with a leather strap or a straight lug metal bracelet

[@MrUnikatni]

Does it fitn on 10 inch wrist

[@the1010watchclub]

Who has a 10 inch wrist? You?

[@subbaramirpoondla1889]

Can buyv Seiko 5 snx affordable online

[@the1010watchclub]

Yes you can

[@jimgardner5129]

I like this watch but I'm late to the party. I'll never find this now.

[@the1010watchclub]

Probably not for under $100 USD but they're still available on eBay for $130-$150 USD

[@ShitShitPampas]

SNXS is not a proposition. It is a fact for good value.

[@luisislas1]

Dónde puedo comprar uno así hoy en 2021?

[@the1010watchclub]

eBay

[@grapevinelover1]

Aside of day and date complications, looks more like an OP.

[@the1010watchclub]

true!

[@slayemgaming]

Seiko price hike is real

[@the1010watchclub]

True!!

[@Kobayashhi]

The UFO shape kills it. Too high on the wrist unfortunately.

[@the1010watchclub]

It's definitely a shame. Timed Square's channel has a cool video where he actually swaps out the movement and dial into an SNK case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmqliZWbbp5gqKM

[@Bonpu]

It is certainly undesirable but I hardly notice it on my seven inch wrist, nor should others. I even like its peculiar case shape since it adds to its distinct 60s' vibe.

[@panosvrionis8548]

True !!!we need the old slim caseback

[@tao265]

Too small unless your Ant Man. 39 or 40mm, then this would be the ultimate Rolex killer. Mind you, I have one and like it but on anything larger than. 7” wrist, it looks disproportionate. Of course this is MO and you may have a different opinion. The lume on these, even during the day, gives me a boner. It truly sets this watch off in daylight. Love and hate.

[@the1010watchclub]

I used to think the same thing until I wore this one. Takes some getting used to though

[@igormarinkovic1531]

Yeah i love this watch is super classy ...But my wrist likes 42mm ...for example SNZG15 i wear every day
