  • imtahir7 on 13/04/2018 - 20:02

    How often would a watch like this need to be serviced due to the automatic movement

    Don't want to fork out a lot of money on servicing for a 100 dollar watch.

    • WatchNerd on 13/04/2018 - 20:04
      +6

      Seiko movements like this are known to last 20 to 25 years before needing a service.

      • imtahir7 on 13/04/2018 - 20:09
        +1

        Well that's good to know. I've always been turned off automatics for the assumption that the service costs will eventually exceed the cost of watch fairly quickly.

        Now to try and justify the purchase in my head…..

        • D3m3ntia on 13/04/2018 - 22:45

          You're thinking about Auto winding mechanical… Those are a different ballgame

        • garage sale on 14/04/2018 - 07:53

          @D3m3ntia: auto winding different , how ?

          you wear an auto, your movevent makes a weight swing, and that weight winds the spring ?

        • D3m3ntia on 14/04/2018 - 09:22

          @garage sale:

          The difference is whether the movement just creating kinetic energy to store in a battery, or if it Auto winds a mechanical watch.

          Nevermind. Actually clicked on the link, this is mechanical

    I know that Seiko automatic 5 21 jewls are highly renowned for bad time keeping. How do these compare?

    • tebbybabes on 14/04/2018 - 00:33

      Strange. I've been under the impression that they're pretty damn good mechanical movements, especially considering their price range. What are you comparing them to?

      • Winston100s on 14/04/2018 - 00:55

        all cheap Seiko automatic are no good. They don't keep the time. I have had one, starts losing time after day 2. Also the internet is flooded with how bad these watches are

          +1

          @Winston100s:
          I think if you want good time keeping you can just buy a quartz movement watch. I think to have an automatic watch you have to be prepared to do a weekly set. It suits some folks better than others. I for one do not enjoy it.

        • xoom on 14/04/2018 - 16:11
          +2

          @sillyhead: agree. Got a seiko 5 automatic. But since getting a sattelite eco drive my seiko 5 automatic has sat in the drawer.

        • dpp04 on 14/04/2018 - 21:18
          +1

          I know where you are coming from, I wouldn't go as far as saying they're no good.

          Expectations should be tapered for the cheaper automatic Seikos. No one should be expecting COSC certified accuracy out of these watches. With most Seiko 5 watches, anything between -30/+30 seconds a day is considered normal. However in practice it's reported to be less. I'm just ball parking that figure, I assume it depends on what Seiko automatic movement you're dealing with.

          I have a J model turtle that gains anywhere between 10-15 seconds a day. Considering I only paid $288 for the Turtle i'm pretty happy with its performance.

          But the guys above are right. If accuracy is key, nothing wrong with going with a quartz or EcoDrive.

        • macrocephalic on 17/04/2018 - 16:19
          +2

          @sillyhead: I have to set the time pretty much every time I wear my automatic. I don't wear it every day, and it only has about 40 hours reserve, so if I leave it off for more than a day it stops. It takes all of 10 seconds to set the time. I admit, a quartz is more simple, and my ecodrive is never any trouble - but there's something I like about the mechanical.

        • garage sale on 18/04/2018 - 10:21
          +2

          @macrocephalic: I have a selection, quartz, auto and ecodrive so there is always "a" watch ready to go if I'm in a hurry and can't be bothered setting the auto ….. eco drive is great, over 15 years old and still going strong.

    Since I cannot afford an Omega (yet), thinking of putting this Seiko on a nato strap for a bit of Omega Seamaster Professional homagery and James Bond flair. See: https://omegaforums.net/attachments/image-jpeg.234994/

    Yay or nay?

    • Fullhalter on 13/04/2018 - 21:50

    • Raheen on 13/04/2018 - 22:00

      Well have two omegas, speedmaster and seamaster but day to day prefer my seiko skx007. If you want to play with the Cheapies and punch above your weight then these are the ones you want seiko skx007, citizen ny0040, orient mako, cheap but look/feel a lot more expensive. And they rock a nato very well

    • marklar on 14/04/2018 - 08:39
      +1

      Yay. The bracelet it comes on is awful, it's heavy with cheap folded links and makes the whole watch feel horrid. A nice nato makes a massive difference to it's wearability.

      • WatchNerd on 14/04/2018 - 08:48

        Do you own this watch? The end links are folded but I'm not sure about the rest. Trying to find that info now.

        • marklar on 20/04/2018 - 17:54

          Yes. If you want I'll send you the bracelet I took off it.

    • LSGH on 14/04/2018 - 13:31

      • garage sale on 18/04/2018 - 10:29
        +1

        they seem to now say get serviced if it's longer keeping time to spec rather than to reduce wear , the lubricants they have now are better then they were 30 years ago.
        being a chronometer I think its -1 to +6 secs a day (sure someone here will know better so don't neg me) so until it's out of spec I just wear them ……

          +1

          Same here, I don’t plan to do a routine service until it is way off… with the $700 I would rather get a 007 and a Sarb 033

    • dpp04 on 14/04/2018 - 21:23

      Yay. Bond NATOs are great. Or if you want to be a bit different, go the Vinage Bond NATO with the red and green.

      I recommend NATOS from Blushark if you make plunge on this watch. :)

        He doles out absolutions willy nilly - their value is limited. He gave me one to show my partner, she went online to check his credentials and he was already giving out another one. In the end I resolved the problem by buying my girlfriend another watch. There, see, he's just given out another one below, AND he's included some sort of weird made up word - horological - WTF is that? Very unprofessional.

    Nice watch but can someone explain why all these "dive" watches don't have lume pip on the bezel. Seems like they'd be completely useless as an actual dive watch as you can't use it as intended, i.e. at depths requiring illumination …

    • WatchNerd on 13/04/2018 - 22:56

      This is not a dive watch as it's only 100m with a push down crown.

        Dive style then? So it's for those of us who like the appearance of going diving without actually having to? Not paying anyone out, I've got a fifty five fathoms as a beater. And I always wondered why the bezel was so useless in the dark…

          Do you really think AreaTrend is going to risk their well-respected reputation on a $150 watch? These watches are entry level.

          There is zero incentive for a replica factory to rep such a low cost, affordable watch. Why? Because the original is so obtainable in the first place. Very, very few affordables are repped.

          Your comment is without basis.

    Hi Watchnerd

    I'm after one watch that has Saffire glass, titanium belt, automatic and less than $200. Do you know any such watch or think that's achievable.

    • ilikeit on 14/04/2018 - 09:55
      +2

      He's dreamin'

    • ilikeit on 14/04/2018 - 09:57

      There are many options without sapphire under $200. But they're pretty all a homage, which isn't a bad thing IMO.

      • garage sale on 18/04/2018 - 10:33

        yeah, invicta titanium, but it's not sapphire but it was under $200 last year when I bought it.

        great watch, keeps good time, but it depends if you are happy with a homage watch or want something more original ……

        me I now need a few Seiko divers.

        • ilikeit on 18/04/2018 - 17:57

          There just aren't many options for that price since titanium is still considered 'premium.' Even for that price, it would probably be a lower grade titanium.
