Smaller than most sport watches, but just as sleek, the Seiko 5 SNK615K1 looks good with a suit or a vintage leather jacket. The stainless steel case measures just 38 millimeters and houses a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal Read More

Hard to get excited about this one. I’m sure it tells time okay, but I would point out that it has no screw-down crown or rotating bezel, so you may find yourself 600 feet under water without enough air left in your tanks to reach the surface again—meaning this watch could actually KILL YOU! But other than that, the price seems reasonable enough.

Wow, this is a slam dunk. I'd be all over it, but my collection is big enough already. But man, if it wasn't...

Price reduced from $295?! On what planet? SNK615K1 is ~$90 on Amazon and easy to find under $75. It is a nice entry level Seiko 5, with a very pretty face and a clear back so you can look at the mechanism. The recessed 2-position pin is accessible via a small cut-away on the back of the watch. $70 is fair but not a super deal. Newcomers should note that this is an automatic watch - it recharges itself as you move. You never need to replace a battery but there is only 24-36 hours of reserve. If you wear it every day there is no problem, but if you alternate several watches or leave if off for a weekend the SNK615K1 will stop and need a reset. The only unmitigated negative is that the band is cheap, "rattle-y", and alternatives are scarce.

You’ve owned a specific Seiko for 30 years? Holly cow—you must be ancient!

Is it possible to use a different strap? bracelet style looks like it can't be changed? Anyone have experience?

sc926I have the SNK621, which has basically the same case and bracelet, and there are basically no aftermarket options that look good on it, give the weird lug length and pseudo-integrated bracelet style. The only thing I've seen people do is swap the case of another same size Seiko 5 but keep the dial. But that's far too much work for me, plus I'm fine with the way it looks now.

sc926Best way is to get another Seiko 5 of the same case number but without the integrated strap. Then open them both with a case back remover tool and swap movements. There's a guy on YouTube who shows you how to do it with this exact same watch. Search for "Seiko 5 Bird of Paradise" and you'll see it at the top of the list.

Too bad it has an integrated bracelet. Nice dial and handset though.

Thedonn007Yeah. He's a bit cavalier in how he reassembles watches. For example: ALWAYS replace the crystal gasket - it works like a crush washer, so not replacing it means it doesn't re-conform to the new crystal, and so moisture will get in there and fog up the watch. He often re-uses the original crystal gasket, which is a big no-no. This is why vendors like crystaltimes ask you if you need a crystal gasket replacement when you go to check out. Anyway, probably not an issue for people who are plopping sapphire on dress watches, but if you're re-applying sapphire on a watch you'll wear for strenuous activities, it's best to replace the crystal gasket entirely. I learned this the hard way.

What is the warranty on Seiko watches - is 30 days MD and that's it?
