The Seiko 5 SNK-809 $50 Mechanical Wristwatch: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

The Seiko 5 SNK-809 is a $50 automatic, mechanical wristwatch. Although it's impressive that they can make a mechanical watch at that price, the end result is wholly terrible for EDC, and results in a watch which is so full of compromises that it winds up fully in the "junk" pile. We can only hope that this represents the last plaintive cry of a dying species of cheap, crappy mechanical watches.
