[Amazon.ca] Seiko 5 SNK809 (Black Dial) - $64.87

Pretty close to the lowest price on Amazon according to 3C. Personally not a fan of the black dial (I have the beige and red already), but posting for those who may be interested. Overall I think these are pretty good casual watches, but look much better with leather strap.

I just wish they weren't 36mm. My new Bulova automatic is 40mm and I actually find it a bit on the small side.

It's 37mm just to be clear, but I suppose that won't make a difference in your case lol.

I bought this watch a while back

It's run time after you remove it from your wrist is lower than I expected

About 8-10 hrs

Has anyone else experienced this

It has about 30 hours of reserve power but if you're not active it's difficult to wind it up for that long, especially because it doesn't has have a winding stem. Not recommended for someone who's sitting around all day.

Yeah these Seikos with the 7S26 movements rarely if ever remain running the morning after. Since I don't wear the same watch every day it doesn't really matter to me though. Setting the time and date takes a negligible amount of time each morning.

Great deal for a beginner watch. Good for teenagers, too. As others have said - the dial is really small.

Dial size is relative.

I use a winder with mine. Keeps it wound. Remember to get one that is upright and not on an angle.

I picked up this watch for my wife, who does lots of hiking. She loves the clear, easy to read face and the tiny dial size, perfect case size for her tiny wrists.
Great price.

Deal breaker for me (apart from the tiny case size), the last thing I want to do is set my watch every morning. (That is over 3 hours a year of negligible time spent setting the time)
Compare this to a citizen eco-drive where you only have to change the time for daylight savings (probably 30 seconds per year spent changing the time), and never have to change the battery.

You can do a lot better for a mechanical (including other Seikos), if you're willing to spend the a bit more money. You can't really go as cheap with these as you can with quartz and expect to get decent accuracy.

Most likely you got a dud, or you barely wear your watch hoping it will work the next day. The power reserve is rated at 40 hours. I can easily wear my SKX013 (same movement) every other day without having to set the time.

I agree with you that eco-drives/solars are much better but they are at very different price points. The watch I posted (in my opinion of course) is a decent occasionally worn, casual watch.

Well then I have four duds as I have four different Seikos with the same movement and they all behave the same way. As I said though it doesn't matter to me since I wear a different watch each day.
