I like how the 7s26 has Seiko etched under the balance wheel and on one of the bridges. It's just cool. Never had a 4r36, but I have an nh35. From looking at pictures I can't see Seiko etched on the 4r36. Just kind of a neat detail that I enjoy.
Great overview of these two movements! I believe the stated accuracy for the 4r36 is pretty close to the same as the 7s26 (aka terrible), however I think that's Seiko just being kind of lazy. Their movements almost always run far more accurately than the stated accuracy, and f you want you can regulate them to within a few seconds per a day (Nodus does this with all their watches that use Seiko movements). So basically the terrible numbers are just so Seiko can get away with a few really inaccurate movements without taking them back.
K so what watch should I get for like £200 max that’s still good coz I’m thinking of getting one (4r36) because it’s quite affordable what else is better for around the same price . Maybe a Tissot watch ?
Hi! I just bought my Seiko srpe with de 4r36 movement and I noticed that the rotor makes a subtle rattle zippery sound when it spins, is it normal? Thanks!
Is it safe to change the time of the NR36 by moving the hands counterclockwise? I was told that you should only change the time clockwise so as not to damage the movement. Wonder if this applies to NR36. Good video by the way!
I regulated my 7S26 fitted SNK793 to around +4-5 sec/day. That was back when it was new, so I'm sure it would need lubrication to perform the same now.

Normal same with my 4r36-P0 just bought last week

Adjusting a few minutes won't hurt the daydate mechanism, however I would always advance clockwise for more than a couple of hours, just to be safe
You should be setting the date, after setting the time to 6:30 my guy.
Seiko has added a hacking function to the newer 7s26 movements a few years ago
Well, hacking function is useless nowadays tho
@@stewie4956 not hardly
Hlo frnd...can you please tell me which country do you belong?
Why would you buy a watch with such a bad time keeping movement? It's totally useless.
Have ever owned a mech watch? that's just the range of possible inaccuracy. IRL the 4R36 is a very good moment.
It usually can be regulated to be +-10s/day.
These are Seiko’s most popular budget movements and can last forever. Do your homework. 😂

@@smokincooks7661 Does it maintain that rate over time? I'm looking at regulating too.
