Thoughts?
I found these nice Seiko 5’s, struggling to decide which one is better for everyday use, love the simplisticness of the SNK793 (left) but the pop of colour of the SNK371 (right) thought these where both great options for my budget (150) and my small wrist… tell me what you think! If there are any better option that you think are better than these, please let me know, Im open to any (most haha)

I am actually thinking of buying the one on the right because I also like the pop of color. The biggest difference I see for me is the strap/bracelet. I think you can’t go wrong with either one but I vote the SNK371. Good luck!
As much as I like the dial on the left one, but I t having an integrated bracelet is a negative for m e. They aren’t kind to long term ownership, because if the bracelet brakes, replacing it with a strap won’t be easy. But if you love it, I won’t stop you. I have a gold version of the right’s bracelet and love it. Overall I think the one on the right looks a little better, will be better if you want to dabble with straps or need a replacement, and is more interesting
These aren’t “better”, but I just wanted to show you some more options: SNK357, SNXS77, SNKL51, SNKL55, SNKK17, SNKK29

Didn’t realize that the one on the left had an integrated braclet, I am definitely set on the SNK371 now, thanks a lot @CdeFmrlyCasual
There are more Seiko 5 designs if you can find them.
For me, the 793 would be preferrable, but I don't like rhe hands and the integrated bracelet. Having a strap option is so nice when the bracelet becomes unfomfortable or boring.
Preferrable alternatives:
SNXS77 (114$ on Jomashop)
SNKK11 (158$ on Amazon)
I love the 371 (& other color variations).
Not a fan of integrated bracelets.
If I was buying, I would get the 371 as it is the more versatile watch. A simple strap change would get you a completely different watch; you can dress it up or dress it down.
If you’re leaning towards the 371, go for that one!
