  • Met all expectations
Far better quality and appearance than I was expecting for the price. The feel and function of the crown is smooth with distinct clicks at B & C positions. Not even a slight movement to the minute hand when returning the crown to the A position after setting the time. Love the inclusion/option of Arabic names for days of week. Even the bracelet, which I've replaced with a NATO strap, feels and looks good. (To me, looks even better with the black NATO.) Accuracy is typical Seiko - excellent. The best part, of course, is the watch face with the Eastern Arabic numerals - very unique, interesting conversation starter. ... show more

  • Wow, what a watch!
Seiko has always been one of my favorite watchmakers, of course. The crystal face is super clear, and very scratch resistant. This is an automatic watch with no manual winding, so make sure you shake it up a bit every day to keep it on time. When it is kept charged up the time is kept fairly accurately. I do notice from time to time after a few days it will lose about 3 minutes and will need to be readjusted to correct it. Fits my wrist perfectly after adjusting the bracelet. It does seem very durable and shock resistant, there have been a few times I have smacked it against hard objects by mistake, and it keeps on going without issue! The Arabic numerals on the dial are really cool looking as well. The bracelet it comes with is also really nice looking and the clasp is nice as well, doesn't feel like a cheap bracelet the usual Seiko comes with. All in all, fantastic watch, great conversation starter with a timeless look. Definitely a solid add to any collection! ... show more

  • Excellent timepiece
The size of the Seiko modding community speaks volumes about the brand’s value at this price point. The SNKP21J1, with its distinctive Arabic dial, stands out both in style and uniqueness. While the movement is somewhat outdated (hand-winding would be a welcome feature), the piece performs perfectly for everyday use. For this price. I don’t know of another brand producing automatics of this caliber. The bracelet is the only notable downside—its rattly, inexpensive feel is major detractor (I returned the SNK063J5 on these grounds. The lug width prevented easily swapping the bracelet. I would have had to swap the case as well). I replaced the bracelet with a black cordura strap, and I’m very pleased with the improvement. I think the watch fits my wrist perfectly. In the future, I might consider upgrading the hardlex to a double dome sapphire (if the CT078 is compatible) and swapping the 7S26 movement for an NH36, but for now, I’m thoroughly satisfied. ... show more

  • Solid daily driver
Was looking for a watch that I could wear every day, that has some personality, for a cheap price. The quality of the case and movement are good, the metal bracelet that came on it felt cheap and rattled quite a bit. I recommend swapping it out for a nato or leather strap.

  • Nice watch but plan on getting a new strap
Very nice watch with a unique dial. Keeps good time. No hacking seconds. Made in Japan. Day of the week can be set to Arabic or English, but not the date number. As some others mentioned there is slight rattle with in the watch, and this is after removing the not so great bracelet (it looks great on a leather or nylon strap). The rattle can be heard when lightly tapping the watch case. This is due to the automatic rotor having too much play, even after being completely tightened down. This seems to be common in the 7S26 movement. I’ve read it shouldn’t be a performance issue, but this is my first watch with this discontinued movement. There is conflicting size info on the product description so here is what I measured with my caliper in mm: case diameter 42.4, lug to lug 50.7, thickness 11.6, lug width 22. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and though it fits ok, I definitely wouldn’t go any larger diameter than this watch. Normally I wear 38 mm, sometimes 36 or 40 depending on the style so this watch is pushing the limits on what looks proportionate on my wrist, though that is a matter of taste. I still give it 5 stars because overall I am happy with this watch. ... show more

  • Great value for an Arabic automatic watch with a day/date complication
The media could not be loaded. I'm a big fan of this watch and it's great that it can be had for such a reasonable price. I think that this watch is tough to beat for the price. A fairly accurate automatic watch with Arabic dial and day/date complication for about $150. I do wish the numbers for the date were in Arabic without the need to mod the watch but that's nitpicking. I'm grateful the days on the dial are in Arabic. The bracelet is very low quality. I bought the watch planning to replace it. I like having this on a leather band with a deployment clasp. It gives the watch a bit of a field watch feel with the uniqueness of the Arabic. I'd happily buy a higher quality Arabic dial watch for more but there's very few quality options out there. Rolex makes some for tens of thousands of dollars. Other than that the only watches I've found that were good quality and not insanely expensive were made by independent watchmaker Farer but those are still $1000+. That makes this timepiece hard to beat at its price point or any price point in the same ballpark. Seiko, if you're reading this, please put out a nicer Arabic dial watch with an upgraded movement, more water resistance, Arabic dates and a screw down crown. ... show more

  • Classic Look but Strap Feels Cheap
The watch looks sharp and keeps time well, but the strap feels a bit flimsy compared to the case. Overall, good value for an automatic watch. lasts 2 days after a full day wear

  • Great watch but...
Just received my watch today. Everything looks good. Aftwr setting time amd day I noticed the watch is running about 16 seconds too fast a minute. Is this a mechanical problem or is it a magnetic problem as some videos are saying.
