8:40 is why I watch these videos. It's like Top Gear. I'm not a huge car guy, but I'll watch it for the trio. Just like these, I don't have money for cool watches, but I watch it because you're awesome and there's guaranteed to be a good laugh :)
Great review. Wearing mine right now. A great, versatile watch that looks like it cost a lot more than it actually did. I usually swap out the bracelet of a Seiko 5 for a strap, but for this one I left it on the bracelet. The watch looks better (to me) on the bracelet, and the bracelet itself is a notch up in quality than that a lot of the Seiko 5 bracelets - it looks like it's made of real metal, and it doesn't strip the hairs off my wrist!
Turned out charming! I don't know how you do it, but every time you come up with a brand new strap, the combo strikes 10/10. Cool watch too... I'm thinking of getting it but I got my SNKL41 aka poor man's SARB035 on a red Hircsh strap... It'll suffice for the time being.. Don't know how long though hahaha. Thanks for the vid
+onLYbyMoon I took a really nice picture of it last night too. I posted it on my facebook page :p Thanks! I've been lucky with the ones I put on video but I do have ziploc bag of straps that I call "The Bag of Failures". :p haha! Ah! I've had your watch's black dial sister (SNKL45) it was quite nice but I gave it to my brother for his birthday.
I've told you before and I still think your watch photography skills is beyond excellence! I wasn't thinking of buy this Seiko5 but you're pushing me off my limits with that photo. That's a warning for you man :0 cheers
Nice one mate as usual...! Got the SNKM73 version and really like this watch... I think I'll just go at some point for a dial and hands swap, but to be honest still wondering...!
+minitwatch I prefer the white dial too on this watch. I couldn't find it in Italy so I've ordered it on creationwatches after I saw your video, hope it will arrive soon... You can't have too many seiko 5! I also am a biker, I subscribed to your other channel too. You and 555gear are my favorites channels for watch reviews. Keep up the good work!
The overall face and dial is nice for the price. However I don't agree with your opinion of the bracelet, it feels really cheap. I've had better bracelets within this budget from Seiko. I'd highly recommend replacing it with a leather strap.
Having had over 40 Seiko 5's and handling many more, I fully disagree with you there but I'd love to be proven wrong. Give me one example of a Seiko 5 with a better bracelet in the same price range (55-80 USD). I would love to check it out if I haven't already. As far as putting this on a leather strap, you mean like the one I put on at 8:50? :p
Maybe the bracelet that came with mine was manufactured with cheaper parts. The SNKK47's bracelet is pretty nice for that budget price. Not sure if you reviewed it but that's one of my favorite watches for an entry level Seiko.
I just bought a new Seiko 5. I am not very active in my 70s now. It stops if I take it off my wrist at night. Also the hardlex is scratched already. I have bought a Seagull Ocean Star and it never stops and also has Sapphire and solid link bracelet. I will never buy another cheap and crap Seiko. Spend more and get Seagull quality. The Seagull screams class.
I bought the same watch after watching your video!
My first Seiko
Thanks

A little late on the commenting here but I think that strap color with the white dial looks really really nice. A super clean, classic look!
+mrceltics It does! I just put a blue strap on in and I love it! If you wanna see, check it out via facebook.com/minit2watch
Nice quick review! I still love my SARB035 though, it is my favourite daily ticker.
+weeliano Oh yes. The 035 is much, much better piece :p But for those who like to spend less, this is a great one! Thanks! :)
I like it in the brown strap! In the metal bracelet looks good too!
Great watch
I'm all about the sparkly sparkly.
Sharp looking watch for sure
+Steve Allen Yes yes. And so very affordable!
Would you consider putting a generic solid link bracelet on this piece as the original one is so crappy???

+onLYbyMoon Thanks man! lol.
great and entertaining review!
+KidWeazel Thanks!
Nice one mate as usual...!
Got the SNKM73 version and really like this watch...
I think I'll just go at some point for a dial and hands swap, but to be honest still wondering...!
thanks for the video. it was funny watching you suffer trying to get the strap off. Black or blue like you said could also look nice with the watch.
+juxti24 :p I think I might look for a decent blue strap!
+juxti24 I just put a blue strap on it. Holy cow! Check it out at facebook.com/minit2watch (gratuitous spam lmao)
+minitwatch looks sick, thanks for the update
Nice video! Do you prefer the white or black version?
+Zapparock95 I really like both but the white version is slightly nicer to me. Thanks!

Zapparock95 Yeah I really, really like this combo! Awesome, man! Thanks!
Nice video quality man...good job
this might me weird but are you bengali?
+Sasha Borges Thanks! Uh, no I'm from Hawai'i :p
+Sasha Borges oops wrong account. Every time. lol
Do you know what size crystal fits this case? I’m wanting to upgrade to sapphire? Is it the CT063?
Yes, case code is 7S26-03X0; same case used for the "Paradise 2" mod.
Hey there!
what's your everyday watch? is it this one? Good video btw!
+Benedict San Diego I don't really have an every day watch. I wear different ones all the time. I do wear this one quite often, though. Thank you!
Excellent funny review. Keep it up yo
+kenshin81x Thanks bro!

Heart attacked!!! especially when you changed bracelet to leather strap
Do you think this would work on a nylon nato strap or is it too dressy for that?
It’s nice but those hands look cheap. They should of put the sword type hands on it.
I am going to stop watching your videos. lol. you are going to let me buy every watch you review. nice work bro keep it up.

Getting the strap out of the box was disaster
Get those puppets on!😀😀😀😀😀😀
