Some Seiko Five Bullshit
I’m a watch guy. You’ll never catch an Apple Watch on me. Or Samsung. I take pride in mechanical/automatic watches. And a few quartz models as well. Not that there’s anything wrong with Apple or Samsung watches. You do you, baby!
Seiko Five are some of the best bang for you buck watches you can get. That is Seiko’s entry level watches brand. Nothing wrong with them. I have several Seiko Fives and all of them cost me less than $500 each.
So when I read this article claiming that Walmart was having a sale on a Seiko Five watch that normally retails for over $1000? My bullshit alarms were clamoring like a red alert on the bridge of the USS Defiant.
The Seiko Five SNK601, features the 7S26 entry level movement. Search google. You’ll find many stores selling them between $100-150.
Whoever wrote this article on The Street is high as fuck. Is this a great watch? Hell yeah it is. Has anyone ever paid $1000 for it? Na. Slow news day.
