Our take on the Seiko 5 Automatic 21 Jewels SNKA05K1

The Seiko 5 SNKA05K1 is a compact automatic watch with a blue dial, stainless steel case and bracelet, and a day-date window. It runs Seiko's 21-jewel 7S26 automatic movement, which winds itself from wrist motion and has no hand-winding or hacking. It suits buyers who want a small, simple mechanical watch for everyday wear. Against its rivals it trades features for durability: no sapphire crystal and only 30 m water resistance, but the in-house automatic movement and metal bracelet are rare at this level.

Questions and answers

Does the Seiko 5 SNKA05K1 wind by hand?
No. The 7S26 movement winds only through wrist motion, so it stops if left unworn for about a day or two.
Can I swim with it?
No. Its 30 m rating covers splashes and rain, not swimming or showering.
Does it have a sapphire crystal?
No, it uses mineral glass. It resists light knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire.
What is the case size?
It is a small case, roughly 37 mm across, which suits wrists that find larger watches bulky.
Does it show the day as well as the date?
Yes. The window at 3 o'clock shows both the day of the week and the date.
Is it a good first automatic watch?
Yes, if you accept no hand-winding and modest water resistance. The in-house movement and steel bracelet are strong for an entry-level mechanical watch.
