- Is the Seiko 5 Sports SNZG11J1 good for swimming?
- It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering. The leather strap is the weak point in water, so a nylon or rubber strap is a better match for regular pool use.
- Does the SNZG11J1 have a hacking movement?
- No. The 7S36 movement does not stop the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out, and it cannot be wound by hand. You set the time and shake it to start.
- How does it compare with the Seiko SNK809?
- The SNZG11J1 is larger, at about 42 mm against roughly 37 mm, and has 100 m water resistance instead of 30 m. Both use non-hacking Seiko 5 automatics and mineral glass.
- What size is the case?
- The case is about 42 mm across and roughly 12 mm thick, with a 22 mm lug width. It wears large on slim wrists.
- Is the glass sapphire?
- No, it is mineral glass. It resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire; a polywatch polish or a sapphire swap are common fixes.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its leather strap, a Seiko presentation box and paperwork. No extra strap or tool is included.
