- Is this watch automatic or quartz?
- It is automatic, so it winds itself as you move your wrist and has no battery. If you leave it off for a day or two it will stop and need a shake or a few turns of the crown to restart.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. Its 30 m rating covers splashes, rain and handwashing, not swimming or showering. Take it off before pools, hot tubs and diving.
- Does it have a date?
- Yes, there is a date window at 3 o'clock. It shows the day of the month only, not the day of the week.
- How does it compare with a standard Seiko 5?
- The movement and case layout are the same idea; the difference is the gold-tone case, bracelet and dial. You get the same mineral glass and 30 m rating, so pick it for the look rather than extra specs.
- What size is the case and bracelet?
- It is a men's-size stainless steel case on a matching bracelet with a clasp. Check the listed case diameter before buying if you have a small wrist, since Seiko 5 cases vary by model.
- Is the gold solid or plated?
- It is gold-tone plating over stainless steel, not solid gold. That keeps it affordable but means the finish can wear at edges over years of use.
