Is the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD worth it at $315?

At $315 it sits near the top of its usual street range, so it is fair rather than a bargain. You get a real automatic movement, 100 m water resistance, and a rotating bezel, which is a lot for the money.

How does the SRPD compare to the older SKX007?

The SRPD adds hand-winding and hacking, which the SKX lacked, and uses the 4R36 instead of the 7S26. The SKX had a screw-down crown and 200 m rating; the SRPD drops to 100 m and a push-pull crown.

How accurate is the 4R36 movement?

Seiko rates it around -35 to +45 seconds a day, and most examples run closer than that. Expect to reset the time every week or two.

What is the power reserve?

About 41 hours fully wound. If you wear it daily it stays running; leave it off for two days and it will stop.

Yes, 100 m water resistance covers swimming and snorkeling. Skip diving and hot showers, since the crown does not screw down.

What comes in the box?

The watch, a Seiko presentation box, and paperwork. The listing shows a silicone strap; check whether a steel bracelet is included before ordering.
