HestraCZone Pointer Glove - Waterproof, Durable Glove for Skiing, Snowboarding, and Mountaineering

Great watch. It is the most accurate automatic that I own. I swapped out the band for a more comfortable , if not stylish, velcro strap. I also changed the dial to one that is easier to read at a glance. I paid $89 in 2021. It's gone way up in price since then, but I still think it's one of the best watches for the price.

i love this watch..really amazing for the $$$

Very durable everyday watch. Keeps great time. If not worn it will run down in bout 2 days. I was lucky enough to get this watch for $39 during Prime days, was a bargain. Would recommend if you’re looking for an everyday self winding watch. The band is extra strong with the belt straps (not sure what they’re called) made of same material as buckle and not leather that breaks in a few years.

I purchased this watch for about $55, it was a really good deal at the time. Nowadays, for $100 you're starting to get into orient level territory and for $20 more you can get a proper dive watch with a much better movement and overall quality as well. Seiko makes really good watches and I definitely loved this piece however, it makes it hard to consider if youre purchasing it for $100+.

First and foremost - I am astounded by this watch.Secondly - I don't wear "dress to impress" watches with 4 inch dials and 24 complications I'll never have a use for. I'm generally more of a function over form kind of guy. I've got some classy looking watches, but they are still pretty simple tell the time kind of watches. In that regard this watch excels.I bought this watch to wear while riding the ambulance as an EMT. I needed a functional watch, simple, easy to read, with a clear second hand for use when taking vitals. My prior watch was a quarts movement Casio that died for unknown reasons maybe a year after buying it. I had plenty of mechanical watches that have served me faithfully for years, but none were chronographs (too expensive). I was saving up for a low end Hamilton watch ($600) when I stumbled across this Seiko 5. $60 for an automatic movement Seiko?? that got my attention. I read the reviews, was won over, and decided to give it a shot.Pro's- Price - This is a hell of a nice watch for $60, it would be a hell of a nice watch for $120.- Dial - clear, easily marked, easy to read.- Size - As i said, I'm not trying to overcompensate with a giant frying pan sized watch. The watch could be easily viewed as "unisex" being on the smaller side for men, or larger side for women. I have small wrists, and so it suits me just fine. The watch itself is surprisingly thin for an automatic movement, which is nice for avoiding being obtrusive.- Crown location - I LOVE the 4 oclock position of the crown. I am very active and use my hands for work and play, moving the crown from the 3 oclock to the 4 oclock is like magic on the back of my hand.- strap "loops" - The small loops around the watch band to retain the leftover strap end and keep it from flopping around are METAL!!! this is a delightful touch on a rugged and functional watch. I often sweat through, or snag and break, all the flimsy and cheesy leather loops that are often stitched or glued. These metal bands are fantastic.- durability - I am a dog walker and EMT, I am known for my mantra "I broke it, can I have another?" I've been wearing this watch for a week strait, I have no scratches, abrasions, snags, or damage of any kind.- accuracy - I set this watch a week ago, And it is within seconds of where I set it (checked by looking at when my iphone kicks over. It may be Malaysian built, but its definitely still a Seiko.- color - Just a nerd thing, but I think its really cool to have bought this to use on the ambulance, and its the same blue color as much of my gear.Con's- The luminous indicators for the hours are all identical. It is common in most watches to make the 12 o'clock position a different color, or shape, to make it easier to orient the watch to tell the time in the dark.- Date indicator - I don't really see this as a "con" but I'm including it as an observation. Because the date window includes English and Spanish dates, it has an odd characteristic that most wont ever see, but anyone wearing this watch for a night shift will want to keep in mind. The numerical date ticks over right around midnight (1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, etc.) but the day of the week indicator lags a touch behind. If you have the watch set in English, On a sunday night, the English sunday (SUN) will tick over to the spanish sunday (DOM) around 1:15 am on monday morning. Then will tick over to the English Monday (MON) around 3 am.- The strap - this is one place where I deviate from my function over form view. The watch band is the only thing about this watch that makes it "feel" like a $60 watch. Its a quality band, and will likely hold up to me for quite a while, but it just looks and feels cheap and cheesy. But then again its no big deal to buy a lovely steel or leather strap to install on the watch body. So I'm ok with it.Conclusion - Thi

You don't want a smart watch, you want a traditional watch. If you have never owned a mechanical watch, try this Seiko 5.This Seiko 5 doesn't try to push alerts and notifications in your face, so you can turn your phone off or put it out of sight and out of mind if you wish; It will have more power by the evening than it had in the morning; It should work the same in five or ten years as it does today; It will hold a respectable value in five or ten years compared to its purchase price; Its hands move; It can be serviced to prolong its life into the decades range; It is compatible with a vast assortment of widely available bands; It is on the small side but no less functional for it; It does not make any particular statement about you simply for wearing it.I had already known I wanted a traditional watch, but let me tell you why I like this one so much more than the quartz watch I had before. I didn't start out so positive. After purchasing this watch I immediately realized two things: First, 37mm really is on the small side by today's standards and 2) Because it is non-hacking, you cannot usually set it so that the minute and second hands synchronize perfectly. Mainly because of #1, I had resigned myself to let my wife have this watch and I would look for a larger one.However, because she never got around to putting it on, I grabbed it and wore it for a couple more days so it would stay wound. During this time, I realized that 1) The more I wore it, the more my perception of the watch shifted from strictly "small" toward "sleek and efficient," and 2) It kept really good time. Based on what I've read, this watch is quite accurate, especially at this price. I set it on Friday morning to be 35 seconds fast and by the same time Monday morning, it was... about 22 seconds fast. It was losing about four seconds a day.That means that over the course of two weeks it will drift from 30 seconds fast to about 30 seconds slow, at which time I can set it again. The other option is to set it more often so the minute hand is accurate, and simply deal with the second hand not coinciding with the 60/0 marker when the minute hand reaches the next marker. In either case, I get the satisfaction of feeling like I'm using an instrument rather than subscribing to a service.I don't know what else to say. It's a very respectable timepiece that is an extraordinary value. You can easily find a better watch twice its price, but it would not be twice as functional or twice as nice looking.UPDATE:After the first month of wearing it almost daily, I have some observations on the accuracy. It seems to keep slightly different time based on how wound it is. The more regularly I wear it, without skipping a day, the closer it keeps to my initial estimate of about four seconds lost per day. If I skip a day or attempt to keep it more fully wound by gently shaking it to spin the rotor, the timekeeping changes predictably but not dramatically. If anything I am even more impressed with, and attached to, this watch. I bought a medium brown strap and a silver deployment clasp, and it just looks respectable. It doesn't look showy. It doesn't look cheap. It just looks efficient and respectable.

Classic design , compact size ( < 1 1/2" Diam) . This is a first impressions review, This watch is a classic and compact design, I think is a good option as a daily use automatic watch. I valore the fact of having both hours as minutes arabic numbers in such compact dial, this without mention day/date also are displayed.

Good watch for the price.
