Seiko Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Bracelet – SNZF17K1

Product Information

But then again, what’s the deal about this watch? Here, I’m going to share with you what I think about the SNZF17. If so, there’s a good chance that you’re opting for an automatic watch after hearing all the praises about the automatic movement! Fortunately, Seiko produces all sorts of case/dial/strap designs and color combinations, so there’ll definitely be one that will suit your individual tastes. Frankly speaking, I’m also not sure why this is so. But from what I can gather, the watch is called as such because of its resemblance (somewhat) to the sea urchin. Dial Easy to read, high quality luminous hands and markers. Day and date display. Hardlex crystal, a specially hardened mineral glass for protection against scratches.

Durability is one of the most important parameters of the Seiko Series 5 collection. They want to maintain a tough image. An automatic movement doesn’t draw power from any battery or solar energy. Rather, it uses a rotor that moves along with your wrist movement. The rotor then winds the movement. Because Seiko watches are automatic, they’re powered by constant kinetic movement. If you know you’ll be leaving your watch idle from time to time, it’s best to buy a model that has a bigger power reserve. Common for watches in this price range is that the bezel does not line up perfectly with the markers, but the SNZF17 does.

Which is why if you ask me, it’s quite impossible to make a good diver’s watch without making it look similar to the Submariner.

That’s why you don’t have to wind the movement manually for usage. The automatic movement also has a power reserve tool that keeps the watch moving for a certain time. I never see any Seiko 5 with this placement design, so I guess Seiko did do it in purpose to mimic the Rolex LOL! Sense Style’ Seiko 5 watches are all about creativity and detail. All of the models are bright, casual, and fun, featuring different color combinations, patterns, textures, and marker designs. Again, Seiko has disappointed me here. Seiko SNZF17 is a basic watch that doesn’t have anything out of the box.The Seiko 5 Sea Urchin SNZF17 is powered by Seiko’s 7S36 movement. This is an automatic mechanical movement that has proven to be sturdy, durable, and reliable. It is powered via the rotor inside which spins and charges the movement. The movement displays hours, minutes, seconds, day, and date. The movement is equipped with 23 jewels. Seiko Sea Urchin SNZF17 dial

Usually, a SMALLER SIZE (around 35-37mm) will look more elegant, so this is perfect if you need something to complement your formal wear. Ultimately, the brand aims to continuously offer durable and high-quality timepieces that anyone can afford through its Seiko 5 models. How Come I Can’t Find a Specific Seiko 5 Model? This makes it easier for us to keep the watch running especially during those times when you just can’t wear it such as wearing your more expensive watch to a formal event. Conversely, these have since changed into a more general rule of thumb to follow. At the 50th anniversary of the collection, they released new standards. Among those include an automatic winding movement. It should also have a day/date window and a recessed crown. With this, the watch must also have impeccable water resistance. And of course, a trait Seiko never failed to deliver, it must have a durable bracelet and case as well.Build Quality – Which materials are used to build the watch? Is the finishing quality decent enough? Seiko Monster, Sumo, Tuna, and Turtle — ask any collector about these very familiar names and almost always they would tell you they owned one or even all of them at some point. All of which are Seiko’s affordable divers that are greatly adored by enthusiasts all around the world. These ‘beater watches’ exhibit the true value of the Seiko line. With the solid construction and gorgeous looks of these watches, they sure are worth every single penny.

We will get into these different types in the next paragraphs. The Japan-made variants tend to perform better as users have complained against the Malaysian plant’s QC process.

The good news is, the Seiko 5 watches are ALL relatively affordable, so you can choose the one you like best based on its specifications, features, and aesthetics! If you really need to stay within a strict budget, though, some of the lower-priced offerings listed above are great options. It’s also widely known as poor man’s Rolex Submariner for its Submariner-inspired design – and no, I’m not talking about the Invicta 8926 here. The Seiko SNZF17 has a more traditional size of 41 mm made from stainless steel case which I found to be the best size for an average guy’s wrist. The dial has 60 individual second/minute markers around the dial for easy reading of the time. The hours have round and rectangular markers. All of the markers have plenty of lume to allow for great legibility even in low-lit conditions. The watch has a large hour and minute hands as well as a straight seconds hand with a luminous dot at the counterweight. The hour and minute hands are shaped as broad spears that allow for plenty of lume. Seiko Sea Urchin SNZF17 bracelet

Or the other option is to use watch winder which can actually has the same cost as the watch itself LOL. Problem To Keep It Accurate?
