Seiko 5 SNZG09K1

I bought this watch 9 years ago, and it still rocks. Before that, I was using an inexpensive Timex camper which got crushed in a cycling accident. I have used this watch on multiple long-distance bike rides, hiking trips, paddling, beach days, and most of my outdoor activities. Yeah, I know a majority of people use a Garmin, an Apple, a Coros, or a Gshock for keeping fitness stats. I still like timing things while looking at a second hand. I am not a huge competitive “into analytics” type dude and all my distances and speeds are recorded through Strava. When it comes to watches I keep them analog and this Seiko 5 works great. Easy to read face with 12hr and 24hr mil time, date window, and a gorgeous green color. The original canvas strap got sweaty and frayed, so I replaced it with a buttery soft green silicon band from Barton. Just a beast of a watch and I cannot recommend it enough.
