Special review: Seiko SNK805K1

[Johan-Mani]

a special review of the SEIKO SNK805K1:



My grandson (13 years) received from me a Seiko5 (SNK805K1) due to his entrance into the gymnasium, 1 year ago.
He was very happy and careful about the watch.
Last week... he dropped it on the floor ...
The watch stopped working and the rotor didn't move anymore.



My only advice (in distance !) was to bring it to a watchmaker to open it and to see what he can do.
If the calibre was broken, i would send him a new 7S26 calibre.
Some days ago, my daughter called me and the watch was not yet been at the watchmaker .. but it worked again !

What happened:

The boy forgot the broken watch in the pocket of his trousers and ... went in the laundry machine ...
And after the "threatment" they found the watch ...   
 ...the watch worked with no issues !!
So: The calibre 7S26 is realy strong and the case SNK is with "30m waterproof" resistant to survive in a washingmachine !!!

SEIKO RULES !   (most of the time)

And he had a realy nice Christmas 2020!   ... and the watch is clean ...

....he droped it, put it in the pocket, the winding was exhausted, it stopped !

In the washing machine, it spined enough to wind up and ..............restarted. 

I spin mine at 1200 RPM
