Now, without further adieu, here’s the point of this post…a gallery of my two Seiko 5 SNKs. The price of the snk809 has risen to a whopping $63, still making it an immensely affordable watch and a great value. ![]() I love it, and I love having two SNKs to alternate. That being said, the 809 is a total success. It looks great on the watch though, which makes the unfortunate quality all the more disappointing. ![]() Honestly, I don’t think the strap would last through a week of continuous use. I wouldn’t even want to know what would happen if it got wet. After wearing it for one day, the sizing hole I put it on has distorted and stretched to twice its original size. It is paper-thin and frail, so thin in fact that it slips right out of the metal loops you weave it through to contain the extra strap. Unfortunately, it is also a piece of junk (sorry J, got to be honest). Inspired by the good price, I decided to spend a little more and pick up a J.Crew suede NATO, as I felt the light beige/sand color would make the black dial and bead blasted finish just sing…and, it does. It is hard to find a mediocre looking quartz for that price, let alone a good automatic watch. So, I toyed around with that idea for sometime, and then one day I was browsing Amazon and I noticed that price of the 809 was down to an astonishing $55 dollars…. What really matters is that ever since getting the 803 I’ve wanted to get the SNK in another color, namely the snk809 black dial model. I wrote a review of the SNK803 several months ago, so I will defer to that for the various details about the watch. Their military looks are timeless, they are designed to be functional but manage to be fashionable and they are very versatile. For me, the Seiko 5 SNK series are ideal for this purpose. Think of it is your default or go-to watch that watch that when you wake up in the morning and don’t have time to fuss about, you just grab, because you know that it is reliable, speaks to your style and is just a pleasure to wear. Everyone who wears watches knows the value of a good tool watch a watch that you feel comfortable wearing no matter the circumstance, a watch that you feel confident will endure.
