What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is the Seiko 5 Sports a good first automatic watch?

Yes. It has an in-house automatic movement with hacking and hand-winding, a day-date and 100 m water resistance, which is more than most entry autos offer. Expect to adjust it occasionally for accuracy.

Does it have hacking and hand-winding?

Yes. The 4R36 movement lets you stop the seconds hand to set the time precisely and wind the watch by hand. Cheaper Seiko 5 models with the older 7S26 lack both.

Can I swim with it?

It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and snorkeling but not diving. The push-pull crown means you should keep it out of hot showers and deep water.

How accurate is it?

Seiko rates the movement within about -35 to +45 seconds a day, and most owners see better than that. It is not a chronometer, so expect small daily drift.

Can I change the bracelet?

Yes. It uses standard 20 mm or 22 mm spring bars depending on the case, so aftermarket straps and bracelets fit. Many owners swap the stock bracelet for a NATO or leather strap.

Is it the same as the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD?

The SRPD line is the current Seiko 5 Sports generation with the 4R36 movement and 100 m rating. Older Seiko 5 models use the 7S26 and are rated to 30 m or 50 m.
