If you're after a dependable automatic watch at an attainable price, the Seiko 5 series is hard to beat, and I think this new 36mm model is particularly special. Really excellent quality and finishing, I don't think you will find better for the price, and the 4R36 movement is reliable and keeps good time on my example. Very nice smooth sandblasted finish on the case, better than that I've seen on much more expensive watches. The tan NATO strap is a lovely colour and very comfortable, but combined with the thickness of the watch (quite tall for the case diameter), it does stand quite far off your wrist. Shame it doesn't have a sapphire crystal, but that and the thickness are the only downsides I can think of. Highly recommended, great bargain everyday watch! Read more
