Is the Seiko SSB409 good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated to 10 ATM, or 100 meters, which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.

Does the SSB409 have a sapphire crystal?

No. It uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal. That resists everyday knocks but can pick up fine scratches over years, unlike sapphire.

What movement does this watch use?

It is a battery-powered quartz chronograph. It keeps good time but needs a battery replacement every few years.

Is the strap comfortable for daily wear?

The nylon strap is light and breathes better than leather in hot weather. It does absorb sweat and dries slowly after swimming.

Is this watch too big for a small wrist?

It is a full-size men's chronograph, so it wears large on narrow wrists. Try it on if you prefer a smaller case.

Our take on the Seiko Men's Chronograph Blue Dial Watch - SSB409P1

The Seiko SSB409 is a quartz chronograph with a blue dial on a black nylon strap, set in a stainless steel case. It runs on a battery quartz movement, uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal and is rated to 100 meters of water resistance. That combination makes it a durable everyday sports watch rather than a dress piece. Against rivals at the same level, the nylon strap and 100 m rating give it more of a field-watch feel than leather-strapped chronographs, while the mineral crystal is a step below sapphire.
