I never realised that these now used a 4R36. The biggest bugbear with my SKX009 is no hand winding with the 7S26. If I hadn't got mine, I'd probably go for one of these.

If the extra water resistance and lume of the SKX aren’t a concern, the new 5 is arguably a better watch.
Right on time, real chunky boi of a review just went up on Hoodwinkee, with video.

I like the gunmetal case one a lot as well, easier to read than the blackout one: https://www.watchnation.com/product/seiko-5-sports-black-dial-grey-steel-automatic-watch-srpd65k1/
Easy to switch the bracelet for a strap if that’s what you prefer.
