Seiko SNK805 Watch Review Summary
My rating: 9/10. Excellent watch, automatic movement.
Today I’m doing a Seiko SNK805 review. This watch is part of Seiko’s 5 series which were introduced back in 1963, they offer a selection of affordably priced watches with a combination of 3 bar water resistance, automatic movement and day & date display in a single window.
Due to their affordability the Seiko 5 series have been extremely popular, offering a great blend of design and quality. This SNK805 has a traditionally built mechanical movement which winds itself as it’s worn, thus never needing batteries. The dial is in a similar khaki green to the nylon strap and uses silver luminous hands with a red sweeping second hand to tell the time. The glass used is ‘hardlex crystal’ which is Seiko’s own take on a type of mineral glass that gives you a good level of protection from scratches.
