Seiko SNK809
Disappointingly poor in every way
Asides from the winder mech, what did you think was poor about it? I keep wanting to pick one up, so be curious to know.

I think even if the crown had been ok, it still would have been weak in that area. The finish of the case, the strap, the face, hands. Everything looked cheap and cheerful and not usual seiko quality.
Of course, £60 is cheap and cheerful but for £30-40 more there are some stonking 5s available. Not sure what I'll do once I get my money back - maybe Jdm SNZG15

Bought a Seiko SNK809 after seeing reviews and it being a 'proper' auto for £60
Small and simple with a nato strap for using at work and on the motorcycle (helping not to slice the wrist in the event of an off like my metal starps could).
Long story short: it's going back. Disappointingly poor in every way, plus the one I got has a faulty winder mechanism. Not the Seiko quality I'm used to.
Back to the virtual drawing board innit fam
