Product Information

Full details

The Seiko 5 Automatic SNXS80K1 is an ideal timepiece for enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics and mechanical reliability in a compact form factor. Its standout feature is the vibrant sunburst gold dial and polished gold-tone finish, which offers a striking appearance suitable for professional and formal wear. While it delivers excellent value as an entry-level automatic watch, users should note its modest 30-meter water resistance, which is best suited for daily wear rather than swimming or diving.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, it uses an automatic mechanical movement powered by the motion of your wrist.

Can I swim with this watch?

No. The 30-meter water resistance is only suitable for light splashes or rain, not for swimming or submerging.

Does it have a hacking feature?

The Seiko 7S26 movement does not support hacking, meaning the second hand will continue to run while you set the time.

How do I change the size of the bracelet?

The bracelet uses a link-removal system. It is recommended to have a professional jeweler adjust it to ensure the pins are seated correctly.

How often should I service the movement?

It is generally recommended to have an automatic watch serviced by a qualified professional every 3 to 5 years.

Troubleshooting

The watch stopped running

The watch is automatic and relies on movement. Wear it for at least 8 hours a day or gently shake it to build the power reserve.

Date is changing at noon instead of midnight

The watch is 12 hours out of sync. Pull the crown to the second position and advance the time by 12 hours.

Watch is running fast or slow

Mechanical watches can fluctuate. If the gain or loss is significant, visit a watchmaker to have the movement regulated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the watch is straightforward: pull the crown to the first click to adjust the date and day, and pull to the second click to set the time. Because this movement does not feature hacking (stopping the second hand) or manual winding, simply shake the watch gently for 30 seconds to initiate the pendulum and set the time. To maintain the watch, avoid exposing it to strong magnetic fields, such as those found near heavy speakers or industrial equipment, which can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements. Clean the bracelet and case periodically using a soft, dry cloth; if a deep clean is necessary, use only a damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring the crown is pushed fully against the case to protect the water resistance seal.
