5 Sports Automatic Watch for Men

I always wanted an orange watch to wear on the days I don't have to dress up. Now, the COVID pandemic makes everyday such an occasion as we work from home most of the time. I checked online. First, I saw an orange Omega, which costs a fortune. Then, I checked Seiko Orange Monster, but it is also expensive since it has been discontinued in production (besides, I am not that crazed about the metal bezel of the Orange Monster). Finally, I found this new Seiko 5, which is an orange version of the famous Seiko SKX with black bezel and sunburst dial. I pulled the trigger right away. Compared to SKX, this new Seiko 5 has a number of improvements (hackable, hand-winding, etc.). And also, it has lug drills that make change of strap so easy. I already played with three straps: Nato, jubilee and the original oyster bracelet. Nato is the coolest looking one, but least comfortable. Jubilee is the most comfortable (resembling the old SKX), but looks a little dressy. The original bracelet is good, too, and seems to sit in between Nato and Jubilee. I really like this orange sunburst dial. It brightens up my day when I feel overwhelmed by work.

I have owned lot's of automatic watches in my life. Rolex and Seiko's mostly. It didn't take me long to realize that buying a Rolex is just throwing money away after I got my first Seiko SKX. Having collected a few watches I was excited to see the Seiko 5 line come out. I bought the SRPD59 because I have always loved the Orange face! Well, I have had this a week and I can tell you that this is the absolute best value in a watch I have ever seen. The Bracelet is VERY comfortable. Much more comfortable than my Rolex Explorer bracelet which pulls the hair on my arms! This one does not pull hair. Also, and maybe I got lucky, which is often the case when buying automatic watches. This watch only gains 1.5 seconds a day which is awesome. But my main thing is, I love the looks. I love the way it feels on my wrist as it is 42.5mm instead of 44mm which is just too big! And I sleep with my watch on and the Lume on this watch is still readable 10 hours after turning the lights! I can not recommend a better watch for the money.

Fantastic timepiece, keeps perfect time. The orange dial is “Happy” while it doesn’t take itself as seriously as my Rolex, Panerai, Cartier and Jaeger it is a solid workhorse performer. Fantastic value. Highly recommended

The SEIKO 5 Sports exudes a timeless appeal with its durable stainless-steel case and classic design. The watch measures a comfortable size that suits most wrist sizes without being too bulky. This automatic watch operates smoothly with a reliable automatic movement, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring consistent timekeeping as long as it's worn regularly. The SEIKO 5 Sports Automatic Watch is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable, stylish, and practical timepiece. Its combination of automatic movement, day/date functionality, and Lumi Brite features makes it a versatile addition to any watch collection. Whether you’re a seasoned watch enthusiast or simply in need of a dependable everyday watch, the SEIKO 5 Sports delivers on all fronts.

This series of Seikos has turned out to be a fairly impressive line of watches for the money. The "36" movement inside is a nice movement, isn't too loud, and keeps excellent time. It's not a Swiss Luxury Diver, but it's also approximately 1/10th the price and still nearly as good (from a time-keeping perspective). On this one, the Orange dial is really very nice in the sun. It has a very nice brushed sunray patterned finish which gives it a really nice glow without being obnoxious. It changes with the light is is quite attractive. Another big bonus - drilled lugs! Makes changing out the bracelet for various straps a cinch. You can change up the look of this thing in minutes. The bracelet is nothing special, and it along with it's clasp are probably the low points of this particular watch. It's not a horrible bracelet, but the stamped clasp and hollow links make for somewhat of an underwhelming feel to the bracelet. That said, buy a few straps in rubber, leather or nylon from Amazon and you can have a different strap (and higher quality) anytime you like! Overall, a very good watch for it's price and punches above it's price point for sure. Overall the quality is good (it's a Seiko after all). The packaging is appropriate for the price (just a simple small cardboard box/case with a small vinyl pillow inside), but not something you'd consider a display box or even "fancy". The entire proposition of this series of watches is just quite good. Looks good, wears well, keeps very good time, is an automatic mechanical watch with day/date, easy to change bracelet....all from a reputable brand. Don't expect it to directly compete with a $2K-$5K diver, but do expect it to come closer than you'd think based on it's price!

Seiko has built another amazing watch this time around. I have two new ones and two vintage ones, and looking to expand my collection more. The orange looks great and is definitely attention getting. It keeps nearly as good of time as my quartz watches too. My Recraft Seiko gains 20 seconds or so a day. The fit is very comfortable. I had more of an issue getting a good fit on my Recraft. The watch case is a bit thick - not a comfort issue, but be careful when going through doorways and such. I think a careless person could beat this up pretty quickly. This, and the fear of getting it magnetized on my work laptop, are the reasons I don't wear it much, but only break it out occasionally. Same with my Recraft. If you're looking for a solid mechanical watch in this price range I don't think you'll do much better though.

This is a really amazing value. Yes, it is not an actual dive watch. It does offer a heck of a lot for $200 though. It might run a tiny bit fast, but I'm getting something like +5 seconds a day or less, which is excellent. The orange face is fantastic, and has a very attractive sheen or chatoyance in natural light. Finishing is very well done, bracelet is nothing to write home about, lume is excellent. You can't go wrong with anything in the Seiko 5 collection. Shipped fast and well packaged.

This is a great watch and compared to buying it local was a really great price.

El reloj es increíble , es mi primer Seiko y mi primer reloj automático y vaya que no puedo estar más satisfecho, los acabados son muy buenos , el material muy premium. Estuve algo indeciso al inicio entre el orient kamasu, citizen fugu o este Seiko SRDP59 de la línea Seiko 5. Las fotos no le hacen justicia, este Seiko es increíble.

Nice sunburst Seiko watch

Beautiful orange dial, great sunburst effect, crisp lumed hands and embassy's. I removed the bracelet and replaced it with a black silicone and stitched orange threading. I gotta say looks much better than that stainless steel strap it came with. This is my first intro into the mechanical watch hobby, and I love this Seiko 5 sports watch with the Orange dial. Such a beautiful design!

Excelente. Produto original de alta qualidade. Muito bonito

Genuine and well rounded watch which wears well on the wrist. Looks a treat in the dial style and vibrant colour. Just can't go past the 5 series for quality and wearability.
