Our take on the Seiko Series Casual waterproof Mechanical Black SRPE17J1

The Seiko SRPE17J1 is a 40.5 mm stainless steel automatic watch with a black dial, box-shaped Hardlex crystal and a 4R35 movement. It winds by hand and by wrist, holds about 41 hours of reserve and has a date at 3 o'clock. It suits people who want a simple everyday mechanical watch from a brand with a long automatic history, and it sits close to Seiko's own Presage and Seiko 5 lines at a lower level of finishing. Owners like the clean dial and the weight; the Hardlex crystal and the modest water resistance are the usual compromises at this level.

Questions and answers

Is the SRPE17J1 a good first automatic watch?
Yes. The 4R35 winds by hand, hacks and has a date, so it is easy to live with. The case size suits most wrists and the dial is simple to read.
Can you swim with it?
Treat it as splash-resistant, not a dive watch. It has no screw-down crown, so swimming and showering are risky.
How does it compare with a Seiko 5 Sports?
Both use Seiko automatics, but the SRPE17J1 is a dressier casual watch with a cleaner dial. The 5 Sports line offers more water resistance and sportier cases.
Does it have sapphire crystal?
No. It uses box-shaped Hardlex, which is durable but scratches more easily than sapphire.
What is the lug width for straps?
The lugs are 20 mm, so most aftermarket leather, nylon and steel straps will fit.
How long does it run when taken off?
About 41 hours on a full wind, so it will still be running the next morning after a night off the wrist.
Where is the Seiko Series Casual waterproof Mechanical Black SRPE17J1 cheapest?
At CONTRA20CTOR, for $79.41, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Seiko Series Casual waterproof Mechanical Black SRPE17J1?
