I'm not a Seiko fanboy but...
The SNK381K1 needs some attention.
It combines field watch aesthetics with a day date complication for an easy, no nonsense, everyday wear.
Don't need to list the specs but the usual apply, including incredible lume and water resistance. And as with most the bracelet belongs in the bin. Even so, the cost / value ratio is ridiculous.
Think I need more Seikos. What's next?

I agree the SNK381K1 is a no nonsense kinda watch… you need the time? here !! Legible dial with big numerals So you can read it!
it’s dark? Boom!! Lume baby!!
oh yeah what date/day is it you ask! Viola! Clear big legible day-date window!!

Funny enough this is the watch I chose for my 1WC challenge. It does it all, and it's subtle. The straps that come with it are a bit lacking, just put a RSM strap on mine.
Just a question do you find that the time reserve is considerably lower then what is predicted? I have an issue with mine being completely drained in the mornings.
Solar?

I'm not sure what the stated reserve is but it lasts at least until the morning if I take it off. But tend to wear it maybe once a week so always need to re-set it and don't pay attention to when it runs out.

Erm. The sun grows most of what I eat, I power the watch, so in a way...
So you gents will appreciate even more the heritage of the time piece you have. 😉 Cheers! 🍻

You might need to have it regulated or demagnetized? If it still has a valid warranty, best to make use of it.

Yes have seen that since I bought it. Great video. So have the backstory! Just didn't go into it. 😊
This is the watch that ended my 1WC entry of 4 straight days...
