Seiko Men's SNK607 Automatic Black Dial Stainless Steel Watch

 (9 customer reviews)

So I was looking for a good/decent automatic watch since I have too many quarts to begin with. When I thought of automatic watches, all the exotic brand names came up (Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Movado, Breitling, Tag Heuer, etc.) and I realistically just said no. So then I looked toward more affordable Japanese watches which have improved significantly over time and Seiko crossed my mind (especially since I've owned two Seiko watches before) and then... The Seiko SNK607/SNK607K1 caught my attention. After looking at most of the models in my price range, I chose this watch simply because it looks more modern and sleeker than the rest of the other Seiko 5 series.

Pros:

This is my first Seiko and my first automatic watch. I had no clue what an automatic was before I owned this but as long as you keep moving your arm, you will never need a battery. It's a great looking watch and I'm almost hesitant to wear it everyday because I don't want to get it scratched. The quality is excellent. The metal strap was a bit too large for my wrist and had to get a jeweler to adjust it. Other than that I have no complaints and am very satisfied with my purchase.

So your first thought looking at this product is probably "the price is too low for an automatic, probably not a good one" Well I was skeptical but similar automatics of this build quality are easily $250 or so.

The sweeping red second hand is awesome. Now don't expect Rolex type sweeping. That costs money, like 1000 dollars minimum for BPH of that rate to sweep like a Rolex. It Still Sweeps nicely though. The hands IMO are what sold me on this watch. Nice sleek design. The hands blend nicely with the chrome Roman numerals. The glow after lights are off is pretty sensitive and easy to read but remember it's not a back-lit watch.

Now for the band. I like the band, it fits nicely once you size it down and it's not too flashy but nice enough to wear out. Now for shortening the band if you google it there are plenty of guides. IT's very simple unlike what the other poster had explained. Heck I did it with my pocket knife and fingers without making a single scratch...Read more
