Seiko 5 SNK601<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019m a watch guy. You\u2019ll 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\u2019s anything wrong with Apple or Samsung watches. You do you, baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seiko Five are some of the best bang for you buck watches you can get. That is Seiko\u2019s entry level watches brand. Nothing wrong with them. I have several Seiko Fives and all of them cost me less than $500 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I read this article<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seiko Five SNK601, features the 7S26 entry level movement. Search google. You\u2019ll find many stores selling them between $100-150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
