The Seiko 5 Sports is the easiest way to your first automatic watch: in our range you can choose from several lines of the series, from the brand's entry level to special editions. All are automatic, and the vast majority are 10 atm, so you can go swimming with them. We sell it as an official Seiko dealer, with a manufacturer warranty and home delivery – and if you later want a new strap on it, our service will fit it.
Why has the Seiko 5 Sports become so popular?
The formula is simple: a real automatic movement, a tough steel case and a price you do not have to save up months for. With us most people start the world of mechanical watches with this one, and many keep it later as their "everyday workhorse". The automatic movement is wound by the motion of your wrist, so you never need to put a battery in it.
Which Seiko 5 Sports model should you choose?
- Metal bracelet version – if you want to wear the same watch to the office and at the weekend.
- Textile or silicone strap – lighter, more comfortable in summer, with a sportier feel.
- 10 atm water resistance – most of the series is like this, so you need not take it off at the beach or the pool. A few models are 3–5 atm; do not jump into water with those.
What to look for with your first automatic watch
If it sits on the bedside table for a day or two it may stop – that is not a fault, you just need to wind and set it again. Its accuracy does not match quartz watches either: a few seconds of deviation a day is completely normal for a mechanical movement. If that would bother you, look around among the other Seiko watches, where you will also find quartz and solar models.
When buying online, pay attention to the case diameter: the 5 Sports is typically around 40–43 mm, which is proportionate on an average man's wrist. If your wrist is slimmer, look for the smaller-case versions, and our service shortens the metal bracelet free of charge.
Seiko 5 Sports – what customers ask most often
What does the price of a Seiko 5 Sports depend on?
The price depends mainly on the strap, the dial and special editions. The series is the entry level of Seiko's automatic watches, and the limited and collaboration models represent the higher price range.
Do you need to change the battery in a Seiko 5 Sports?
No, the Seiko 5 Sports is an automatic watch, wound by the motion of your wrist. If you do not wear it for days it stops, and then it is enough to set it and put it on.
Can you swim with a Seiko 5 Sports?
With the 10 atm Seiko 5 Sports models, yes, they are suitable for swimming. With the few 3–5 atm pieces only hand washing and rain are fine.
Is there a women's Seiko 5 Sports?
The vast majority of the series is men's watches, but the smaller-case 5 Sports pieces suit women too. If you are looking for a specific model, ask and we will check whether it can be ordered.
