Seiko Unisex Analogue Quartz Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNXS79K

Product Information

It doesn’t have any screws, or even pushpins, like most bracelets, so sizing it can be extremely difficult. Between this model alone, there’s the SNXS79K1 and SNXS79J1. A Malaysian and Japanese version, respectively. The Malaysian version (K1) has a Spanish day wheel, and the J1 has a Kanji date wheel. The differences end there (aside from the price). SNK355 vs SNXS79K I’ve heard claims that it’s made from a different steel alloy than the case. Sure, the brushed finish plus a lightweight folded link structure can give you that impression. However, without any evidence, the claim can’t be confirmed. With its reliable mechanical movement, versatile design aesthetic, affordable price, and excellent build quality, there’s no wonder that the Seiko SNXS79Kfinds itself on the wrist of those looking for a great everyday wristwatch that looks right at home, whether as a casual everyday beater or worn as a dress watch for special occasions.

The bit of extra height does help to add a touch of extra wrist presence, though not by much. 7S26 Movement But if the SNXS79 is your only watch, you might as well get the exact size strap to fit it, which is 19mm. There are also some similar Seiko 5 variants you may want to consider if you’re already looking at the SNXS79. When it comes to straps such as leather straps, it’s always better to go 1mm up. The leather will still squeeze in no problem, though it may be a bit tight at first. The only caveat, is that you want to make sure you use the correct size spring bars regardless. So for a watch with a 19mm lug width, feel free to use a 20mm leather strap, as long as you have the proper, 19mm springbar. The reason for this is, the leather might squeeze down to the proper size, but a 20mm spring bar will not squeeze down to fit a 19mm lug width. And if it does, you will have a very hard time getting it out. My story of owning this SNXS79 is a funny one. Like I said earlier, it was my own personal first mechanical watch I’ve owned for myself.Along with the Seagull 1963, it’s the most versatile watch I own. It doesn’t look out of place with any outfit.

In my experience Swiss watches are like German cars expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and no where near as reliable as Japanese cars, especially Toyotas and Suzukis. I thought it didn’t work, I set the time gave it a few shakes and to my amazement it works perfectly! That’s how I’m able to appreciate the value proposition of the SNXS79 so much more, this time around. As my appreciation for watches (and my watch collection) grew, I began to appreciate the little aspects and nuances of a watch, more. For the money, I seriously doubt there’s any dial that comes even close to that level. And there probably isn’t. AvailabilitySeiko is known for generally having very strong lume on their watches, but some of the Seiko 5 models fall short in this area. The SNXS79’s lume, however, shines bright like a torch. It helps that the hour markers are so large and bold. Until around 2021, the Seiko SNXS79 belonged to the Seiko 5 collection. Thanks to its sporty, elegant design and surprisingly low price, the watch is considered to be one of the top alternatives to classic Rolex models such as the Datejust or Oyster Perpetual. Even if the resemblance is striking, Seiko has nevertheless managed to give the SNXS79 its own unique character. I also wasn’t a fan of the all polished case of the SNXS79, and how easily the mineral crystal smudged up and looked ‘dirty’ from fingerprint smudges all the time (little did I know, sapphire crystals can be WORSE about this sometimes).

The good news is, there is clearly no shortage of Seiko 5s to choose from, and even if the SNXS79 doesn’t do it for you, there are plenty of other expensive-looking Seiko 5s to choose from. Why I Bought the SNXS79 Thrice (Yes, Three Times) However, in practice, it’s an excellent movement. The rotor action is quiet. Sure, you can hear it, but that’s that. A considerable advantage of this one is Seiko’s Magic Lever bidirectional winding system, first introduced in 1959. It’s simply a role model for winding efficiency. As someone I know spoke of the Seiko 5, you can just rest on the couch all day, and get up only when you need to, and it’ll still give that movement just enough motion of the rotor to keep it going.

It doesn’t really compare to the Seiko 5, even though they cost about the same. It’s just a different style. Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB vs. Seiko 5 SNXS79

The Seiko SNXS79K's case is waterproof for up to 30 meters. While not adequate for scuba diving, its 30m water resistance should withstand splashes and light precipitation. However, since its crown doesn’t screw down, swimming with the watch isn’t recommended. Seiko usually understates its cases' water resistance, so even if you forget to remove it when going for a swim, the watch should be fine, so long as you aren’t scuba diving or doing laps. Solar-powered watches have several advantages, such as eliminating the need for regular battery replacements or charging through external power sources and reducing environmental impact by minimizing the disposal of batteries.

I respond to every comment! – Anthony The brilliant and rich sunburst grey dial looks really dynamic and with the all polished stainless steel case, the look really comes together to create the appearance almost of that of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual homage, but with enough unique design elements to stand on its own in terms of originality.As far as I know, you can get cotter pin, solid link bracelets to fit many 5s on AliExpress. Some of them can be used with the original end links. Some will need a little filing down here and there on their end links.
