Let me know in the comments below what you think of this Seiko SBSA005 or the 5 Sports collection as a whole. First Class Watches Limited acts an authorised credit broker and not a lender who offers credit from different providers, including PayPal Credit, Klarna and Secure Trust Bank PLC trading as V12 Retail Finance.I’d argue that, when devising the 5 Sports collection, Seiko began with a subtly-colored piece such as this SBSA005 and then expanded into other bracelets, dial/bezel colors, case coatings and more. We aim for you to be absolutely delighted with your purchase and therefore offer you 30 days to change your mind on your purchase (excludes pre-owned watches).

years later, the Seiko 5 Sport has been reborn, each model showcasing the key traits of the original models as well as new, updated features. Additional details of note on the dial are the new Seiko 5 Sports logo at 12 and the italicized Automatic text at 6, both of which are in silver. If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost. One can see that the bridges have a detailed brushed finish and other components, including geartrain wheels, have been polished.The full bracelet does a great job of balancing the watch head, not only in weight but in proportion, so that it does not wear like a 42mm+ timepiece. Like the case, the bracelet also has a brushed finish on its top side and high polish on the sides of the bracelet. If you have been declined for PayPal Credit, PayPal will send you more information about why your application was unsuccessful. Matching the finish of the hour indices are the center hands which themselves are quite large and therefore make it very easy to read the time.

And lastly, as a project watch that you may use to learn how to customize (“mod”) Seiko sports models, the SBSA005 is also irreplaceable. While it’s stamped steel and perhaps a bit “jangly”, the clasp will not open unless the two buttons are depressed so there are no concerns of this watch flying off your wrist if you’re engaging in some sort of extreme activity. Additionally, these Japanese-market models will have English and Japanese as the two languages for the day.I had been trying to make my mind up about which one of the 27 different versions of the new Seiko 5 Sport watches I would pick. The mechanism within the watch is 4R36 automatic movement which is built in house and the calibre is comprised of 24 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve.
