SEIKO Men’s Automatic Sports Watch – Blue Dial

Beautiful watch. Has stayed within 1 single minute of drift since I’ve purchased. Worn it everyday. If you’re considering, definitely buy

I wanted to wear this watch for my wedding, and I did not think I would receive it in time if I ordered it directly from Seiko, so I ordered it with Prime shipping. I received it quickly, but upon opening it, I noticed it did not have the “Made in Japan” stamp on the lower face. In addition, no matter how many times I wound the crown, the watch did not start up. So it was defective out of the box. Luckily, I was able to return it to Amazon for a refund.

I did end up ordering this watch directly from Seiko, and it came with a warranty card with the date of purchase and my name! Also, after winding it 20 times, the second hand started moving, and it does have the “Made in Japan” stamp.

In the future, order from Seiko directly.

This was my first Seiko watch and not my original choice, but opportunity happened to land it into my cart and I have to say that I am not at all disappointed in this watch purchase. The dial has a unique almost art deco vibe to it and the strap while being leather is surprisingly soft and goes well with the style. The day window is bilingual and may be set to English or Spanish and the +/- on mine is about 25 to 35 seconds per day. The automatic movement is smooth and manual winding is smooth as well. I am currently using it as my daily wear for traveling.

Watch works great. Stays wound well if you take a day or so off from wearing it. Illumination is good. It’s a little less blue than expected but I’m satisfied.

Sold By: Watches Gala (Authorized Dealer)

SEIKO 5 Sports, Field Specialist Style, SRPG39, MSRP: $295.00 but I got it for $206.05!
Thickness: 13.2mm, Diameter: 39.4mm, Lug-to-lug: 48.1mm, Band is 20mm tapering to 18mm.
Stainless Steel Casing, Calf Skin Black Leather Band, Curved Hardlex Crystal, and rear display case back.
Driven by SEIKO’s 4R36 Automatic movement with the Day and Date. Mine came with English and Spanish day options with Sunday displayed as RED.

This SPRG39 came in the standard packaging consisting of Amazon Box, Black SEIKO Packaging Box, SEIKO Grey and White marbled cardboard display box. The watch was strapped around a very cushy black pillow, had the original SEIKO product tag attached and had the protective tape on the dial and back of the case.
THESE ARE ORIGINAL PRODUCTS.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that was a true SRPG39 as indicated by the “Made in Japan” label just on the left of the dial’s 6 o’clock position. The Japan made SRPG39 tend to have a higher build quality and are highly sought after compared to the similar SRPG39K1 or SRPG39J1 which are the same watch parts but made in Malaysia and lack the “Made in Japan” inscription on the dial. These tend to sell for a discount compared to the Japan models.

The watch is gorgeous! At this price point just BUY IT! You will not be disappointed.

The 39.4mm Case wears well for all wrists types. As pictured, I have an 8-inch wrist and it wears just fine. Not overwhelming on smaller wrists but it will not get lost on larger ones.

The deep blue dial has applied gold color metal Arabic numbers for the hours and accompanying gold-colored hour and minute hands. The second hand is black with a red tip which does well for precision. The blue and gold colors complement in a STRIKING fashion. It’s GORGEOUS! As the photo shows, the illumination on the hands is quite adequate for this style of watch.

The black Calf Skinned strap has a nice semi-gloss to matte finish with almost a lizard textured pattern. It has white stitching accents near the lugs and at the tip of the band. The band is subtle and does not deter from the beautiful dial but helps to enhance the brushed stainless steel case and bezel. The strap size is the popular 20mm which means strap options will be plentiful. You can change the strap and change the attitude of the watch for any occasion.

The watch is powered by SEIKO’s famous 4R36 automatic movement which you can see from the display case back. It has a day and date complication along with a Hacking feature (The second hand stops as you are setting the watch. This aids in accuracy and is a MUST for classic Military Field Watches). Mine came with English and Spanish options for the day and Sunday displays in RED.

The watch did not come with the warranty card from the seller, Watches Gala. It came with instructions on how to request one from the seller. This made me a bit nervous.

I followed the instructions, which were to contact the seller through AMAZON to make the request. SAM replied within 24 hours and assured me that he can send it out to me via USPS within a few days. SEIKO requires their Authorized online vendors to fill out the warranty card and send it directly to the purchaser to prevent fraud. This made sense and SAM was a man of his word. I received my filled-out warranty card and all was right in the world.

I absolutely trust Watches Gala as a seller and will buy future watches from them.
They offer a genuine product, in new condition, at great prices with the assurance of timely and friendly customer service!

The SEIKO SRPG39 gets 5 stars!
Buy this for that special someone in your life!

Watches Gala gets 5 stars!

I hope this review helps you make a decision on this watch and the vendor.

-Be blessed in your travel through life.
