First Seiko

This is my second automatic watch purchased online. I didn't know much about it, but I knew Seiko by reputation. I wanted an automatic watch with a blue dial and a steel bracelet, and I came across this little Seiko, purchased for just under €120 (today, summer 2025, it's closer to €180/200). The watch is small with a 37mm dial, but I find it fits even on my large wrist of almost 20cm. So, adjusting the bracelet was easy; no links had to be removed! I find it really elegant, and the lume is perfect. I love the date and day, black writing from Monday to Friday, blue for Saturday, and red for Sunday. I love it. You can choose between English and Japanese. The finishing is really good (except for the bracelet, which looks a bit cheap). The glass is fragile; I have a small scratch, even though I take care of it. The caliber itself... it drifts quite a bit, between 20 and 30 seconds per day. And there is no stop second on this 7S26 caliber. Furthermore, there is no manual winding, only automatic. It's one of my rare watches that I leave on the winder.
