Seiko 5
Seiko 5
Got myself Seiko 5 field watch as a starter, the cheapest automatic. Thought I would be ok with minute numbers being bigger than hour numbers but no. Everytime I looked, had to do some mental gymnastics for a second. After a month of this decided to switch it to no numbers at all. Today received the dial, switched it over. Omg, this is so much easier to read.
I like the original, but I'm more of a digital watch person 😅- I love that you've personalized it! The snk is lovely and some of the mods that people do are super cool
To me it did look kinda cool at first, I agree, kinda complex, almost like a large detailed chronograph. But then, one of the reasons to buy a wristwatch was to avoid looking at the cellphone to see the time. So eventually, the reality hit and it turned out I am so used to large numbers to be hours(from childhood apparently), it's a habit, an expectation. And those are hard to change. In a way, I gave up coolness for utility :) Thank you for the kind words!
Totally understandable! I have very similar reasons for trading my smart watches for digital casios, and avoiding analog (cause I suck at reading analog watches/clocks lol, it takes me way longer to read than it should)
