Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports Automatic Blue Dial Black NATO Strap Watch for Men - SBSA098

The Seiko 5 Sports SBSA098 is a men's automatic field watch with a blue dial, gold-plated hard-coated bezel, and black nylon NATO strap. It runs on the 4R36 caliber with day-date at 3 o'clock, a 4 o'clock crown, and about 41 hours of power reserve. At 42 mm wide and 14 mm thick, it wears large and chunky, so it suits casual and outdoor wear more than a dress shirt cuff. Against the standard Seiko 5 Sports line it stands out for the gold bezel and NATO strap rather than for specs; the Hardlex crystal and 10 ATM rating are typical of its rivals, while its accuracy spec of roughly -35 to +45 seconds a day is looser than a quartz watch.

Questions and answers

Is the SBSA098 a good first automatic watch?
Yes, if you accept its size. The 4R36 is a proven, serviceable movement with hacking and manual winding, and the day-date is useful daily. It is thick and large, so try the case size on your wrist first.
How accurate is the 4R36 movement?
Seiko rates it at roughly -35 to +45 seconds a day. Real-world examples often run tighter, but expect it to drift more than a quartz watch and to vary with wear and position.
Can I swim with it?
It is rated 10 ATM, which covers swimming and snorkeling. The NATO strap is nylon and dries slowly, and the crown at 4 o'clock should be pushed in before water contact.
Does it have a screw-down crown?
No, the 4R36 in this case uses a push-pull crown at 4 o'clock. That is part of why the watch is rated 10 ATM rather than a diver's 200 m.
What is in the box?
The watch on its black NATO strap, with Seiko paperwork and the standard presentation box. No extra strap is included.
How does it compare with other Seiko 5 Sports models?
It shares the 4R36 movement, Hardlex glass and 10 ATM rating with the rest of the line. The differences are the gold-plated bezel, blue dial and NATO strap, plus the 42 mm case that is larger than the 38 mm SRPK models.
