About this deal

I happen to like the metal bracelet. But if you don’t, pop it on a blue Nato strap or Cordura strap with contrasting stitching, and it will completely change the look of this already great looking timepiece!

Then, SNZH55 is not “just another cheap quality” watch. In fact, Seiko deserves a massive shutout for the impressive material choice. There are only a handful of watches in the market that comes with automatic movement.But the playful dial is balanced with a subdued set of hands and hour markers, which makes it suitable as an everyday watch. And you get the best looking 01V0 case from the Seiko 5 line, which is comfortable being only 37 mm in size. Introducing the Seiko SNK393 – a great everyday watch with a very sensible, enjoyable design that has a bit of a Rolex Explorer vibe. The next alternative is the Orient Ray II. If you’re into the watch industry, you should know that Seiko is the Orient’s parent company.

On the other hand, this bracelet is something I could have really done without. Sure, it was secure and perfectly appropriate for the price, but it just felt so chunky. It doesn’t taper much, is a bit rattly, and honestly just doesn’t elevate the way in anyway. Thankfully, this is a Seiko and the 22mm lug width means you’re going to have plenty of strap options. Personally, I think these look best on a sailcloth strap, which really completes the whole Fifty Fathoms look if that’s what you’re going for. But if you’re not into modding, it’s just as good as it gets out of the box. And with a shortish lug to lug distance, it still can work on smaller wrists. What about the Blanc Pan? Well, it’s also automatic. It comes with the Caliber 1315 movement. You’re getting an impressive 150-hour power reserve and 35 jewelson its gears.

Are Seiko 5 watches any good? Seiko 5 watches don’t have the best movements and can have sub-par bracelets. But they offer tremendous value for money: these are great affordable automatic watches with a great design, loved by many enthusiasts. Its gun-metal body is stainless steel. It’s quality steel, so it can withstand all kinds of drops. It’s also resistant to corrosion and rusting. The SNZH60 isn’t that big. It’s the same size as its brother. It weighs as muchtoo. Yes, its body is stainless steel. We’re happy that it’s great quality.

And the 37 mm size makes it an instant favorite among small-wristed watch enthusiasts. And for because it’s affordable, you can join the party, too! First comes the issue of price as a proper mod-friendly watch has to be budget-friendly. Otherwise, there’s no point in giving it a premium upgrade.The timepiece can handle the same amount of water as its counterpart. This unfortunately means that it’s not as water-resistant as the Fifty Fathoms. As if it wasn’t enough, it features the best Seiko 5 case out there, with a great shape and bezel – not to mention it’s comfortable on the wrist all day long. Also, it’s not another Rolex homage. At this point, I think the Rolex homage market is almost saturated. We really need some breath of fresh air now. And you can get that from the SNZH55. And with 100 m of water resistance, you don’t have to fear about splashes or even surface swimming: it’s good to go. But the real star of the show is the bezel insert: the Arabic numerals peak through a transparent layer, which immediately gives this watch a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms look.

There is lume on its dial. You’re met with LumiBrite again. The pigment is on its markers as well as watch hands. But these are not the only reasons why watch enthusiasts love this one so much. Not only does this watch look great in and of itself, but it makes for a perfectly fine Rolex Submariner alternative. This watch is that. It’s a people’s watch. It goes out every Saturday night and is always down to hang out but it’s also there if you’re feeling down and need someone to talk to. Yes, it has its faults and can be mistaken for a “Chad” but it’s just a good watch that likes to hang out and be there for people. Wait where was I going with this? Excuse the rambling.Then, I would replace the proprietary Hardlex crystal. Yes, it’s good and offers somewhat good scratch resistance, but it doesn’t stand against the sapphire crystal’s superior quality.
