Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I bought these automatic Seiko's several years ago. Great watches, although I don't wear them too often.

Do they keep their time well?

No where near as accurate as a quartz watch. They average 10 to 15 seconds a day fast. Although they can be adjusted for better accuracy.

Yes and no. They are technically less accurate than quartz movements but usually more consistent, which some people say is better. Mine usually loses about a minute a month on the dot. But I change watches like socks so I have to set my autos every time I go back to them. That’s why I’ve been looking at the Seiko solar versions, though I don’t mind setting a watch I like. This is one I like. I’m also a big fan of Citizen Eco Drive.

Here’s mine, and I plan to get more Seiko 5’s:

If you guys interested this is a diver’s watch to buy without breaking the bank. Citizen NY2300 with Miyota 8200 inside. Unlike most Seiko watches with 7S26/36 inside this has hand-winding feature which can only be found in medium/high end Seiko(s).

Ooh nice. I didn’t know Citizen made automatics.

Yes they are but their movements (Miyota) also being supplied to other companies like Invicta, Laco and others.

A watch thread here too?
My watch problem is was could be worse than my flashlight addiction. I have so many watches. I haven’t bought one in a while though… hopefully this thread doesn’t stir that up!
I don’t currently even wear a watch daily, I didn’t want to destroy one at work, so I have gotten used to not having one on.
I have a couple Citizens, a Seiko, a few Disel, a couple Swatches, and a bunch of other random ones most of them are dead and need new batteries.

I have a great home for them! :wink:

Ordered this one on ebay for $25.18. It a Timex Weekender #T2N757. I really like the style, and it's cheap enough not to worry about scratches, etc. It's small at 36mm. Has an 18mm navy blue leather band which I plan to replace with a khaki nylon band..

Very “clean” looking. What’s the advertised battery life? Wonder how long it’s been in storage/shelf. Is it easy to change/replace the wrist band? How much is the nylon band? Can the battery be easily replaced, that is, is the cover open easily, not requiring a special tool?

One ebay ad:
All Watches sold by Watchgrabber have a 1 year limited warranty.
This warranty does not cover batteries, leather straps, or crystals,

From what I've read, the battery is supposed to last 10 years. The back snaps on which isn't hard to remove. The band is easily replaced. I ordered one from here for 12.99. I already bought one for another watch I have. It's nice quality.

If battery lasts 10 years, why it’s excluded from even the 1 year warranty?

What’s the indicator whether snap on or screw on?

That put the watch price to $38. How does the new price compare with others?

Seiko Solar SNE095_P2. I replaced the green strap with a black.

I have had it since 2011 and I don't have to switch batteries, just have let it catch some sun now and then. And I don't have to take it off in the shower, swimming or washing hands. Just about perfect for me.

That looks interesting!
Could you post some real life photos of it?

Pics from today. Clickable...


Thanks a lot! :beer:
It looks nice but the case is a bit too shiny for my taste.

I’ve never owned a watch before in my life bt for Father’s Day this year my buddy gave me this same watch (but in green) and I’ve wore it every day since. I ordered a kaki 18mm NATO band for it from amazon and after 11 days a black one came Thursday so who know how long its gonna take to get to a replacement.

Both him and his dad own nothing but seiko’s.
