What's up everybody George here from GP lifestyle and in today's video guys
I'll be showing you my first automatic watch now run this time last year
I did a video where I showed off my current watch collection. I didn't think it was too bad
You know, I had some watches that I liked wearing and that I think goes with a lot of outfits
But people let me know that my watches were god-awful quartz movement fashion watches
Which at the time I didn't know what the hell quartz movement fashion watches even worse
so I decided to take a lot of time and
educate myself more on
virology the history of watches and
Perhaps actually get my first automatic watch because that was a wake up call because I realized how little I actually knew about watches
I just want to say that uh
Thank you guys for being very blunt and honest with me and I appreciate it. Now. I have learned something
You actually developed a little bit more appreciation for watches other than them just looking pretty and going with a lot of outfits
So without further ado, let's get into the unboxing. Alrighty guys the brand that I went with my first automatic watch
It was Seiko because I was looking for something
affordable and time for the grand reveal
Buying it's a little off-center. I do apologize for that and that is
the Seiko s
NK 3 8 5 k
2
Long reference number and this watch right here was a hundred and sixty two dollars
Canadian going over some general information about the watch. First of all with the band it sits on a 21 millimeter jubilee band
stainless steel, I'm not personally a fan of Jubilee bands because of the clanging noises that they make but then again,
Bands are always replaceable. So that's not a big deal. Now when it comes now, we have a 38
Told we have a 38 millimeter case with a 33 millimeter dial. This is the smallest
Watch I own so for me, this is a big change, but I wanted to get something
Discreet something smaller something that I can wear was like a turtleneck a blazer and still be something that is
reliable durable
Well-constructed and yet still stylish
That's what my goal was when getting into watches now was to look at something that is durable reliable
Have a history to it thing stylish. So when you put it on it's not just
Soulless that it has some substance and background to it anyway a little more general information. We have a crown at 4 o'clock
Which for me is completely?
different gun which use that crowns at 3 o'clock
But something new it is a day date and there you have three language settings on the day have English
French and Spanish
When to select it as you pull out the first two first gear
I think it's called first gear or the first election you scroll down to adjust the day of the week and you scroll up to
Adjust the number it has an automatic movement sweeping hand will get into the automatic movement
Later, it has luminescence on both the hour and minute hand and as well as on
The tics and it only has a Roman numerals on the 12 and 6 o'clock
and this is part of the Seco 5 series now onto some of the
Specifications it has 30 meters of water resistance
I'm not gonna use this for swimming so that for me doesn't that rating doesn't really matter too much and Plus
This is not a dive watch. So the water resistance doesn't really matter now. What are some of the specifications?
about the watch it has a scratch resistance hard lex crystal the
Transparent back casing which I notice a lot of Seiko watches
Have now the movement here is sake is the Seiko caliber
7s to 6 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve I
Don't I don't know watch movements or what even power reserve means, but I think that's cool
I really don't know any specifications about
Watchmaking or power reserves and gentle maybe somebody in the comments can help answer dead
But then again, I'm still fairly new to Washington
This is my first automatic watch and I'm still learning about them
But I think from all that information that this still for like a hundred and sixty dollars
It's not bad now
we're gonna go on to the fit and I what I personally notice is this is the smallest watch I own a
38 millimeters as small as a lot of my watches are all over 41 millimeters and for me
This is weird. It doesn't feel natural to me. But then again I'm not used to it and
Overall, I think this is a great little discreet watch
I wanted something that I can wear with a turtleneck
With a sport coat and have it be again durable have some history to it
Have a good automatic movement, but then again also be stylish be elegant and look amazing
And I honestly think this watch is not too bad
I think I I don't know like I'm so iffy because like I really thought I oh I was really
overthinking when buying this watch, but when I know when I was watching a lot of videos from watch
Channels, there is a lot of back-and-forth. Oh this watch sucks this watch great this brand sucks. This watch is great
I don't know
so I just said
You know what? Fuck it i'ma take the risk i'ma buy something that I like and that is not a fashion watch. That was literally
What I was going for and there you guys have it my first automatic watch
This video was not really planned for me to do
I just thought it'd be a fun thing for me to share because
I'm always trying to learn and improve whether it's in genuinely life my style or now trying to get into
Watches so I want to know from you. What do you guys think? What are your some of your recommendations?
