Underrated Seiko 5 Watches ($60-$150)

If I had to sum up the best first mechanical wristwatches with one category of watch from one brand, I would simply say Seiko 5. They have something for everyone, especially with those affordable prices. However, today, let's look at some more obscure models to choose.

I'm going to put this here as there is no where better to put it. Teddy, I want to say thank you. At 41 years old I finally decided to buy a nice watch, actually my first watch. I knew I wanted something well made, automatic, smaller case and 200 was about my limit. I settled on the Seiko 5 SNKC55J1 and ended up at half my spending limit. To be honest I probably would have ended up having purchased " the wrong one" or having a bit of buyers remorse if not for your videos and information you have put out. THANK YOU !!!

Seiko 5 = the most affordable time pieces with a great value inside and as long term watches.

Yes! Please continue this series, Teddy!
These are the kinds of videos I’m interested in. Affordable watches and also, I love your vids on micro-brands.
You’ve introduced some great micro brands.
For me the price range of $50 - $350 is the best, when it comes to being a collector on a budget.
So thanks for another great video 👍

Damn Teddy you’re about to rise the price on all these damn Seiko 5’s

Absolutely chuffed to bits by this review!

I thought this was Sekiro: Shadows die twice

Not Seiko: Watches for the right price

Finally a review of watches I’m able to afford 😁

Looks like the SNKA01 and SNK603 both have specialized (integrated?) bracelets that look like you wouldn't really be able to change out. Being stuck with a Seiko 5 bracelet (probably folded links? Maybe the kind that rip the hair off your arm?) and no option to put it on a leather strap is really a deal breaker for me. I like the dials and cases though.

Holy shit dude I've been googling Seiko 5 for the past week or so and it's like you knew ! 🤔🤔
As always great content keep up the good work !!

I bought 2nd hand Seiko SNK 369 and Seiko SNKL 47 all for $70. It has been 2 months and its working great! I'm looking to buy more 5s and increase my small collection.

Picked up a vintage Seiko 5 for 40€ not too long ago. It sports the 7009 movement with a Grey dial and gold accents. I rarely take it off, that's how much I enjoy wearing it.
Great watch to get in to watch collecting

SNXS79 . This is one of the best looking sport / dress Seiko 5 offering today. Bought mine at $100.

Hell yeah, my prayers have been heard!
For a non American watch fan its truly hard to find bargains because of the shipping and taxes, just for an example, I live in Chile and my first watch that I bought with my own money was a blue/tan timex expedition scout from Amazon, it was 40 dollars, I've ended paying 53 dollars for everything. Yes, is a lot for that watch but in retail stores it's sold for about 90.000 chilean pesos that roughly translates to 140 dollars!!!
I can't thank you enough because whenever it's one of this videos I know I'm getting the best deal for my hard earned money :)

I just scooped up a Seiko 5 SNK361 with the Seiko 5 logo pattern across the dial (a baby Grand Seiko SBGH267). The dial (mine is black and there is a navy blue option #357) is very subtle and most people wouldn't even notice it unless I told them. Surprisingly the watch has a nice weight to it even without that lackluster bracelet, and it hugs the wrist really well.

Hi Teddy! Just wanted to show my appreciation! I bought my first and second watch just a little while ago and I’m getting so much joy from them! Thank you for getting me in to this hobby! Hope you see this... great videos!

I bought the snk 793 new in 2018 for $69.99. Even though I have several watches, I still wear it often. Nice looking watch!! Especially now that smaller dials seem to be coming back into style.

[vinosmanuel]

Oh man, this video is just on point! I just ordered a SNKK25 as my first Seiko 5, it should be a fun watch to wear with a red-white NATO. Congrats on the content, btw.

[rafaelmorales]

Please, continue with this Seiko 5 videos. Great!

[greywolf]

My first automatic was the Seiko SNKK27. Glad to see you have it in the list. Love to see more of these Seiko videos, thank you

5:43 ahh the SNK793, I bought this one and it's just amazing.
The bracelet is better than i had expected, and the rattle isn't as bad as people were saying.
