Thanks to the contest on watchesyoucanafford.com, I am now the owner of a Seiko 5 automatic watch. Specifically the SNK809 model. This is my first automatic timepiece, so consider this review as coming from the newbie point of view. I've been wearing this daily now for about a week.

The excellent photos Cam posted show the look of this watch very well. It's fairly plain, but handsome to my eye. A black fabric strap, matte silver finish on the case, and black face with white numerals. The 37mm case is pretty small. I'm not a fan of the current fashion of having huge wrist-clocks strapped to your arm, but I think most men will agree this baby could use a few more mm.

I will admit I'm not crazy about the strap. It's nicely finished with no lose threads, but I'm really used to a metal strap. After a while I'm sure I'll change out the strap.

There's not a lot I can say about this watch that wasn't covered in the extensive original review. However, so far I've found this a handsome and easy to love watch that I can see getting a lot of wear from me. Thanks Cam and watchesyoucanafford.com for running this contest!

Hey Cam, I have a few nice watches under $400 that you should do reviews on. I think their all around the $150-300 range, and would be good choices for your site. As their quite nice watches, but not bank breakers either.
Let me know if you want pics or any info on them. You're 100% welcome to borrow them for a month and do a full detailed review on them.

Not much to add this morning other than the fact that I'm wearing my Seiko 5 this morning like I do most days now, and the strap is growing on me. I may not replace it.

Thanks again Cam!
