Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit. I bought a watch as a gift for my son and Kiran was really helpful in taking links out of the strap so it was the right size and including a gift tag written out with my message to my son. First class service. Ultimately, this is more a matter of design preference, as the SRPH and SRPG series is built to nearly identical specifications, even down to the movement.

Nice review Anthony. I like the comparison to the SNK. I love the look of these Seiko pilot watches, both the SNK and SRPH, but was particularly excited to see the SRPH recently, since I was hoping for a larger pilot watch than the SNK. I didn’t even realize it was out until last week. Elegant but sturdy feel and look, with a very clear dial. It was a present for my father and he says it runs fast by about 30 secs every couple of days which I don't know whether it's normal. Fast and efficient processing and delivery. Item arrived in excellent condition. The price was very competitive. I would use again. I’d love to see – and was hoping this was it – Seiko come out with a fuller size pilot, like this SRPH setup in an SNZG case.

The SRPG27K1 and the SRPG29K1 are the only two models to include stainless steel oyster bracelets. While I haven’t handled either of this firsthand, the included bracelets on Seiko 5 models in the past have never wowed me, so I’m expecting to have to replace these bracelets with a higher quality bracelet or strap also. An automatic watch, the Seiko 5 Sports has a 4R36 automatic caliber functioning at 21,600 vibrations per hour. With a power reserve of 41 hours, there are 24 jewels in the movement and so this is one reliable automatic watch.

We also now see the addition of the new Seiko 5 Sports logo, and the polarizing “Automatic” text, written in script at 6:00. Some feel that the font is a bit too dressy for such a rugged-looking field watch, but that’s up to personal preference. The dial is a dark olive/forest green that has slight hues of a lighter, almost dull lime-green, under direct sunlight. This is a color shift I was not expecting, although it is not unappealing, and makes the watch dynamic in different lighting conditions.

The larger dimensions of the SRPH29 are one of the biggest (pun intended) visual differences of the watch itself. The Seiko 5 SNK809 is one of the first mechanical watches I’ve owned and have loved it since day one. To this day, the combination of its sandblasted case and smaller sizing that disappears on the wrist really made it feel unlike any other watch I’ve owned. This insurance is optional and will meet the demands and needs of a UK resident requiring insurance for jewellery or watches in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man plus up to 30 consecutive days elsewhere in the world any one trip. Like all new Seiko 5 Sports watches, this watch features the Seiko 5 Sports logo at 12 and ‘Automatic’ denoted at 6. This is the same script font they use to denote ‘Automatic’ on all of the new Seiko 5 Sports watches. While I think the font works well on certain, dressier models, the SRPH29 is not one of them. The script font looks a bit too fancy for a tool watch like this, and this is a combination that doesn’t gel well for me. Because the text is small, this is a detail that you may easily overlook. But as the saying goes “beauty is in the details”. New Domed Crystal

These changes make the SRPH29 look a bit more traditional, like any other watch you’d find in a department store. For the watch collectors with many other watches, this may mean the SRPH29 is overlooked. For the Seiko fanboys – this may not be the SNK809 alternative we’ve all been waiting for. For someone just looking for a great-looking and affordable pilot watch, however, this may be just the watch for you! We understand the importance of sizing the length of your watch bracelet or strap to provide the perfect fit. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home. Class watch, the face is big and easy to read, looks great and has a decent weight. Really great, fast delivery and watch is classThe most obvious alternatives to the Seiko 5 Sports SRPH29 are the previously released SNK lineup, including the Seiko 5 SNK809, SNK807, SNK805 & SNK803. It’s not often that a watch you’ve owned and loved for years gets a facelift with a brand new model. It features a satin finish more true to traditional pilot watches, and maybe most importantly, housed inside is a Hamilton Calibre H-50 movement with an extremely impressive 80-hour power reserve.
