First Proper Watch

[jimmy156]

My brilliant fiance got me this for christmas, haven't worn a watch since i was a kid but thought it would be useful to be able to keep time in my new job.
Its a seiko 5 SNXS79. It needs a few links out before i can wear it, so i thought i would take a few snaps while it was still brand new!

Looks nice I've just purchased a very similar model (looking at your pics not sure if I've made the right choice ;-) )

How does it look and feel in the flesh?

Which model did you go for? I looked at a few and the price of seiko 5's seemed to vary from about £49.00 to £149.00 with not much discernible difference in the quality.

I am really impressed by it, looks really nice and is a good weight. It has a relatively small diameter so it doesn't look too big on my girly wrists. It belies its relatively inexpensive price.

Fantastic watch, great pictures. These are fantastic are value for money watches. I have a couple of these.

Sounds great.

I've ordered the snk809 which is the military style one.

They are excellent value, having worn it for a few days now i am finding it really comfortable to wear, feels more natural wearing a watch then i had imagined.

Just googles the snk809, nice looking thing! Would be too big for my girly wrists though!

Lovely watch but... Those are really good pictures!!

Just a quick snap or with all proper gear? On my phone they look like manufacturers shots!
