Japan-Made Automatic Movement
The Seiko 5 Sports SNZB26J1 runs on the 7S36 calibre with 23 jewels, delivering mechanical timekeeping without a battery. Its gold-tone stainless steel case measures 40.00 mm thick and pairs with a matching bracelet secured by a deployment clasp. A unidirectional bezel and 100 m water resistance support daily wear and recreational swimming. The Hardlex crystal protects the gold dial with index markers and a day-date window.
Suited for Daily Mechanical Wear
Buyers who want a self-winding watch built in Japan with a metal bracelet and day-date complication will find this model fits the brief. The 100 m rating handles splashes, showers and surface swimming but is not rated for scuba diving. Shoppers who need a screw-down crown, ISO dive certification or a sapphire crystal should look elsewhere. The gold-tone finish also means it is not a precious-metal investment piece.
Simple Strap Adjustment Required
The watch arrives ready to run; a few wrist shakes start the automatic rotor if it has stopped. Sizing the stainless steel bracelet needs a pin-pusher or a watchmaker, as the deployment clasp does not offer micro-adjustment. The pull-push crown sets time and date in two positions — pull once for the date, twice for the time — but has no screw-down thread, so ensure it is fully pushed in before water exposure. Hardlex resists scratches better than mineral glass yet can still mark under hard impact.

Questions about this item
What wrist size does the 40.00 mm case and gold-tone stainless steel bracelet with deployment clasp fit out of the box?
The 40.00 mm case and integrated bracelet are sized for average adult wrists; the deployment clasp allows micro-adjustment, and a watchmaker can remove links for smaller wrists.
Can the 7S36 automatic movement with 23 jewels be hand-wound or hacked when I switch from a quartz watch?
The 7S36 caliber does not support manual winding or hacking seconds; it winds solely via rotor motion and runs continuously once worn.
How do I verify the Hardlex crystal and 100 m water resistance are intact after setting the day-date via the pull-push crown?
Screw the crown fully in, confirm the day and date advance correctly at midnight, and check for condensation under the crystal after a temperature change.
