My first automatic (Malaysian),

This review is from: Seiko Automatic Sports SNZG15 Mens Watch (Watch)
I bought mine on Feb 8, 2012, sold by A2ZWatches, fulfilled by Amazon. I did a ton of research into Seiko 5s, and specifically this watch. I liked the SNK809, but the size seemed small, so I went with the SNZG15. On my 7.5" wrist, next to my awfully large paws, this watch appears just about right; stylishly on the large size, but not by any means massive.
If you look closely at the picture in the Amazon listing as I did, between the 8 and 7, and between the 7 and the 6, there is white text that should read "MADE IN" and "JAPAN" respectively. The watch I received does not have this. Between the 7 and the 6 it reads "7S36-" (the caliber) because it is not made in Japan, but rather Malaysia. It's also labeled as such on the Hardlex backing. This was a little disappointing to me, and I almost returned it. But ultimately decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I like the watch, and am fully satisfied with it's authenticity and quality.
It arrived in the expected...Read more

Upside Surprise,

Was really very pleasently surprised when I received my new watch. The photo on Amazon really doesn't do this watch justice. The watch has some heft to it and feels fairly substantial on my wrist. The simple black face is beautiful and its very easy to spot the time even with a quick glance at your wrist. Was a little suspect of the "hardilex" face going into the purchase - its definitely not sapphire but it isn't a cheap plastic either as one would find on lower end watches. My only complaint (hardly one given the inexpensive price) is the relatively poor quality of the canvas band. A problem easily fixed at any local mall. Went into this purchase looking for an everyday "beater" watch. Ended up with that and a bit more at a very reasonable price point. Good job Seiko.

Received two days ago. Very nice looking sports watch. The case measures 42mm and band is 22mm. Band appears heavy enough that it may last a while as it has a sewn in vinyl insert for buckle pin. Appearance looks very sporty with easy to read dial, sub scale has 24 hr markings.
Has a red pointer on second hand. loses about 20 seconds a day so far, case is bead blasted satin finish which looks good with black face with white markers and black nylon band.
23 jewel movement is marked Malaysia, which I presume is a Seiko manufacturing facility, so I am guessing that the watch was also assembled and shipped from there?
Date and day are a little difficult to read without reading glasses but are legible in outdoor light.
Movement doesn't Hack, so you can't stop second hand where you want to,
Slept with watch to test lume, it was still very bright with lights out at 5:30am when I woke.
Overall very satisfied so far, a good...Read more
