Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Seiko SRPK17, trying to get a feel for it. It’s a pretty neat watch, and I wanted to jot down my experience with it, start to finish.
Getting Started
First thing I did was, obviously, get the watch. I unboxed it and, man, that initial feeling is always great. Took off all those little plastic protective bits – you know, the ones that are oddly satisfying to peel off.
Playing Around
Then, I spent a good amount of time just wearing it. I wanted to see how it felt on my wrist, how the weight was distributed, and if it was comfortable for all-day use. I adjusted the bracelet – had to take out a couple of links to get it to fit just right. That was a bit fiddly, but I managed.
- Winding it up was my next to-do thing. This watch is an automatic. I gave it a good shake to get things going.
- I set the time and date. Pretty standard stuff, pulling out the crown to the different positions and twisting. Nothing complicated there.
- I also checked out the lume. Charged it up under a lamp and then went into a dark room. It glowed pretty well, which is always a plus.
Everyday Use
I’ve been wearing this watch for everything now, running every day.
Overall, I just used the thing! I tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who’s just bought this watch and is going through the motions of setting it up and getting acquainted with it. It’s a solid, good-looking watch.
