About this deal

The Seiko SNXS79K is exceptionally light, weighing only 3.04 oz, or 86 grams. What are the advantages of a solar watch? But if the SNXS79 is your only watch, you might as well get the exact size strap to fit it, which is 19mm. Solar-powered watches have several advantages, such as eliminating the need for regular battery replacements or charging through external power sources and reducing environmental impact by minimizing the disposal of batteries. What is the difference between the Seiko SNXS79K and the Seiko SNXS79K1?

On the applied hour marker indices and steel hands, you’ll find Seiko’s LumiBrite, which is Seiko’s new luminous material that is said to be brighter and longer lasting than conventional luminous paints. This helps you tell the time even when no light is available. Movement The Seiko SNXS79’s bracelet is made from stainless steel and features a satin finish. What is the weight of the watch? Between this model alone, there’s the SNXS79K1 and SNXS79J1. A Malaysian and Japanese version, respectively. The Malaysian version (K1) has a Spanish day wheel, and the J1 has a Kanji date wheel. The differences end there (aside from the price). SNK355 vs SNXS79KI’ve heard claims that it’s made from a different steel alloy than the case. Sure, the brushed finish plus a lightweight folded link structure can give you that impression. However, without any evidence, the claim can’t be confirmed. While the case is all polished, it certainly doesn’t fall short on finishing. The rather subtle chamfer between the top surface and the flanks, narrowing down to the lug tips, gives the watch a sleek and streamlined appearance. While the bracelet feels rather light and cheap, I must admit, it’s rather comfortable on the wrist.

If there’s one problem I could point at here, it’s the action of the day-date display. It’s slow. Very slow. The date mechanism engages at 9 PM, starts switching some time past 11, and completes the switch by just after midnight. The weekday wheel, however, takes longer. It engages before midnight and ends the switch sometime before 4 AM. The bit of extra height does help to add a touch of extra wrist presence, though not by much. 7S26 Movement It doesn’t have any screws, or even pushpins, like most bracelets, so sizing it can be extremely difficult. In this review, we’ll be talking about the Seiko SNXS79K’s design, features, movement, price, and its pros and cons to help you decide if it deserves a place on your wrist.There are also some similar Seiko 5 variants you may want to consider if you’re already looking at the SNXS79. As far as I know, you can get cotter pin, solid link bracelets to fit many 5s on AliExpress. Some of them can be used with the original end links. Some will need a little filing down here and there on their end links.
