Face Color: -Black. Face Color: -Blue. Face Color: -Green. Product Type: -Analog. Shape: -Round/Oval. Calendar: -Yes. Lifestage: -Adult. Lifestage: -Teen. Generic Specifications: -Movement: Japan automatic, Caliber 7S26B, 21 jewels. Generic Dimensions: -Case thickness: 12 mm. The Seiko Men's Automatic Green Dial Green Strap Watch is ready to accompany you on your next outdoor adventure or casual evening on the town. It features a stylish and durable green fabric strap that closes with a traditional buckle. The watch's green dial matches its strap and boasts easy-to-read Arabic hour and minute markers. The dial also features silver-toned hands and a date window at the three o'clock position. Hidden behind this watch's dial is precise 21-jewel automatic movement keeps this watch functioning without a battery: It is powered automatically with the movement of your arm. Other features include a stainless steel case, a mineral crystal window, and water-resistance to 99 feet (30 meters). This is an automatic mechanical watch. Automatic watches do not operate on batteries, instead, they are powered automatically by the movement of the wearer’s arm. If the main spring in your automatic watch is not wound sufficiently, timekeeping may become less accurate. In order to maintain accuracy, wear the watch for 8 hours or more per day, or manually wind the main spring by turning the crown. When not in use, automatic watches may be kept charged with an automatic watch winder – a watch storage unit which may be purchased separately.

Review: Love It! Buy It! - This is my first automatic watch. I was looking for a military-style watch and was drawn to the green dial. It looks better in person than on the computer (and it does look good on the computer). Reading some of the other reviews about the accuracy had me a little concerned, but most discrepancies were in a range that I could deal with. After one week of observation, my watch loses about 6 seconds per 24 hours. I check it each day against the Naval Observatory Clock in Colorado. It would seem from reading the other reviews that mine is the only one that runs slow as opposed to fast. As for the odd one or two reviews about watches that stopped altogether... that's puzzling since my experience (so far), and that of most other buyers is very positive. One review mentioned the audible sound of the autowind mechanism. Mine is totally inaudible. If that mechanism is touching the case at all, the watch should be returned immediately. Which brings up the point of the clear, see-through back. A gimmick? Not so. The inner workings are beautiful, and it's a great way to confirm whether or not the autowind mechanism is working properly. As for water resistance? Dude, give me a break! If you want to go swimming with a watch, buy a diver's watch! And would someone please tell me why in the heck anyone would want to take a shower with a watch on? I have a clock in my bathroom, I check the time when I get in the shower, I know about how long it takes me... is there a need to wear a watch in the shower? Anyway, as far as resistance to water, it should be able to take the occasional splashing from hand washing, and maybe the occasional getting caught in the rain, but that's it. I love this watch. It's got a nice weight to it, and the size is perfect. It's a little smaller than my Seiko Chronograph that I bought in 1997 (which I still wear) but it's not small, as some reviews seemed to indicate. If you have a big wrist and favour big watches, it might seem small. Get out a metric ruler, put it on your wrist and see what 38mm looks like, and then make the call. The strap, for me is fine also, not small or thin. It matches the watch. If you want Quartz accuracy, uhh... buy a quartz watch. If you like watching a sweep second hand move gracefully around the dial... buy this watch. If you like looking at your watch more than you need to... buy this watch. I'm trying to think of an excuse to buy the blue or black version of this watch. All in all, I find it a very nice watch to look at, not obnoxious or tacky, and very legible. Less than a hundred bucks, it's a steal! I have 3 other running watches, and they're all sitting in a drawer right now feeling betrayed!
Review: Keeps great time! - Just wanted to give my quick input on the timekeeping ability of this automatic/self-winding watch. It's my first Seiko 5, but I've been wanting one for a while now. The bottom line is it's been keeping great time for me in the short time I've had it so far. I wear it about 15 hours a day and I'm quite active, so I'm sure that helps keep it wound properly. If you like how it looks GET IT. It won't disappoint. Mine is the less expensive version made in Malaysia, and seems solid. Someday, when I'm feeling a bit more wealthy, I might get one of the Japanese-made models. But I think this one is just fine. Now some background, if you care. I spent a good part of my early working life in live television production, meaning things happened TO THE SECOND ... and if not, there was trouble. Directing our live, local newscasts, we had to hit commercials on time and, most importantly, we had to finish our show and get back to network programming EXACTLY on the hour. (You can set your watch by when network TV shows begin or end. In fact, your VCR clock gets its time updates from the central clock via the PBS signal.) Needless to say, this adherence to accurate clock time bled over into the rest of my life. For example, it would drive me crazy when I visited the in-laws and every clock in their house gave a different time of day. I'd spend the first 10 minutes of my visit getting the microwave clock to match the wall clock, and the VCR clock, and the bedroom clocks ... It was annoying, but thankfully I've outgrown that chronic disorder. In fact, once I got out of TV I didn't wear a watch for years, and it took me a while to let go of things being exactly on time. But now here I am, a 50+ year old watch-wearing adult. I don't need my watch to be accurate to the second anymore (now I produce video for the internet where no one cares how long a video is or what time it starts), but I also don't want a timepiece that will drift so far as to make me late for an appointment. Some of the reviews of the Seiko 5 or other automatic models complain about the time drifting drastically, or the need for a watch winder to keep it going. Well, I'm here to tell you that my version is doing just fine, thank you. I bought the SNK805 because I liked the smaller size (I have a habit of smashing watch crystals into walls and handrails as I move around the world, so smaller is better), the color, the nylon band so I'm not buying a new leather band once a year, and the lack of need for a battery. TIME: So far, four days after taking it out of the box, strapping it to my wrist the first afternoon and setting it to my iPhone clock, the watch has lost less than one second. That means that once every 8 MONTHS, I can move the hands forward one minute if the slight inaccuracy is bothering me. I know it's only been a few days for me, but I just wanted to give an opposing viewpoint to others who claim these watches don't keep accurate time. Maybe I got lucky and got a "good" one, or maybe the accuracy will start to drift after the mechanism tires out eventually. But for now I'm extremely happy not to be buying batteries and trying to figure out how to dispose of or recycle the toxic chemicals. Here's to good old fashioned mechanical engineering ... for the win!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you set the second hand? I can't seem to find a way to do that.**
A: The movement this watch is equipped with is called the 7S26. It is the least expensive version of the 4R family of movements. As such it lacks the ability to hack or handwind. Hacking is the ability for a movement to stop its second hand. With a quartz watch this is easy, but a mechanical watch needs a spring or a clutch to stop the second wheel. Seiko watches with the 4R35 and 6R series of movements have hacking and hand winding along with other upgrades and accuracy improvements.

**Q: Got this a week ago, and I've been wearing it everyday, but it stops every couple of days. Does it have to left faced up, flat when not being worn?**
A: I know the original question is from 3.5 years ago; but, for the benefit of new people researching this watch:  This movement has a maximum of about 36 to 40 hours of reserve when fully wound (advertised ~41 hours).  To expect an automatic watch at this price point to go longer than that is just ludicrous.  If you have worn it all day, that should get you through at least overnight.  Give it the "Seiko shake" (hold face up and shake it back and forth) for about a minute to ensure it lasts through the night...I don't think you need to, but it adds a bit of tension to your mainspring and can't hurt.  If you take it off Friday and not move it until Monday morning, it would be an unrealistic expectation that it will still be running.

**Q: Are hands visible in the dark?**
A: There are two common way to make 'glow-in-the-dark' things: radioluminescence and phosphorescence.

Radioluminescence is when a material lets off light on its own because it's slightly radioactive. High-end watches use radioluminescence for their features.

Phosphorescence is the much cheaper alternative that's commonly used in glow-in-the-dark plastic, toys, and paint. The key difference is that it doesn't generate its own light--it's charged by sunlight like a battery and releases at night.

This watch uses phosphorescence for its features. If you wear it outside, uncovered, and in the bright sunlight all day, it should stay glowing all night long. If you work indoors or cover your watch with your sleeve during use, it may not make it all the way through the night. This effect will also weaken over time--but rest assured it should still glow for a few years at the very least.

**Q: Are the canvas bands that come with the watch replaceable? If so, where can I find them?**
A: Hello John, you can certainly replace the band and there are many beautiful bands on amazon. I am not sure about the specific canvas band but you should be able to find a nice one for your watch. Just look at the technical details for the band size and happy hunting. PS: You might not want to spend too much time and money buying a new band as the watch is prone to failure after a couple of months. Mine is caputt and in the trash already and even with the warranty, you will spend more time and money sending it back and forth than the $60 you paid for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hmmm, Idk...
*by M***3 on July 31, 2020*

I've had it for 1 day and it came in a box inside a box, the only papers that came with it was that instructions manual, no guarantee certificate, when I received the watch it looked like they threw it into the box, I measured the watch and posted pictures of the sizes, I got as close as possible to the Seiko logo and the dial code and I can't tell if it's fake because I'm not a watch expert, I took a picture of the lume the one on the right is a watch I painted with Aurora glow in the dark paint about two layers thick and I blasted my phones light on them for 1 minute I also used the watch check app to try to see the deviation and I posted a screenshot I changed the time before 1:40 p.m. and I don't know if that affected the measurement it could also be that I didn't push the button at the exact moment it reached 00 I don't know, I don't have time grapher , the watch came with a Seiko tag and a protective plastic on the display case but not on the dial Crystal, if it is a fake then it might be a clone but it's keeping good time and it hasn't stopped yet and the quality looks good and the wristband is thicker then the one I bought at Walmart for $5 (probably 3x thicker), the day/date doesn't change at midnight it's more around 3 or 4 a.m. , it's not hackable but you can put pressure on the hands like if you're turning the time backwards but not enough to move it backwards and it will stop the seconds hand as long as you hold it idk if its bad for the watch so it's up to you if you wanna do it, mineral crystal, crown at 4 o clock one click out sets the day/date and second click out sets the hour and minutes, the languages seem to be English and French, what makes me think is real is that the number on the display matches the movement, the quality of the watch band, it's accuracy so far, the detail on the dial code (it's super tiny but still clear to read), the winding weight spins freely even after doing the Seiko shuffle for 3 min and how the crystal is fitted to the case (very little space between the case and the crystal and it's not higher than the case), it's my first Seiko so I'm not really sure what to look for to know if it's a fake but I hope some of the information I tried to post will help you in deciding if you should buy it, I think I'm going to keep it because I like it, the quality looks good and it seems to be keeping time quite well, I'll post an update in a month or so on how it's doing.
