Is the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD51 a good first automatic watch?

Yes. It has a reliable 24-jewel automatic movement, day-date, Lumibrite lume and 100m water resistance, and it is simpler and tougher than a dress automatic. The trade-offs are a heavy feel and a Hardlex crystal instead of sapphire.

What is the case size of the SRPD51?

The SRPD51 uses a 42.5mm stainless steel case that is 13.4mm thick with a 46mm lug-to-lug. Some listings show 39.4mm, so confirm the size on the page you buy from.

Does the Seiko 5 Sports have a sapphire crystal?

No. It uses Seiko's Hardlex mineral crystal, which resists scratches but not as well as sapphire.

Can you wind and hack the Seiko 5 Sports movement?

Yes. The 24-jewel automatic movement supports hand-winding and hacking, so the seconds hand stops when you set the time.

What comes in the box with the SRPD51?

The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, the manual and a Seiko box.

How does the Seiko 5 Sports compare with its rivals?

It matches pricier dive watches on movement, lume and 100m water resistance. It gives up sapphire crystal, a slimmer case and a more refined bracelet, which is where the step-up models spend their money.

About the Seiko 5 Sports

The Seiko 5 Sports SRPD51 is an entry-level automatic dive-style watch with a blue dial, day-date at 3 o'clock, Lumibrite hands and markers, a unidirectional rotating bezel and a 42.5mm stainless steel case on a steel bracelet. It runs Seiko's 24-jewel automatic movement, which also hand-winds and hacks, and it is rated to 100 meters. Against pricier dive watches it gives up sapphire crystal and a refined bracelet, but it keeps the mechanical movement, lume and water resistance that matter most. Reviewers call it a good entry-level automatic that looks great and wears comfortably every day; the main complaint is weight.
