00:00 Introduction
In this video, we cover the majority of band styles you'll find within the Seiko 5 Sports watch family.
00:51 Silicone "Mesh" Strap
Within the Suits subcollection, Seiko has paired mesh or Milanese-style bands with the watches. This is the silicone mesh band that imparts a unique look compared to traditional rubber straps. Most importantly, it remains a very comfortable strap to wear.
01:37 Steel Milanese Bracelet
Also within the Suits collection is a more traditional steel Milanese or mesh bracelet that is not only flashy but also comfortable.
01:57 Fused "alligator-Silicone Strap
Here, Seiko uses the same flexible silicone component with a faux alligator insert that helps to give the watch a classier look. The base of the strap being silicone, it remains very comfortable to wear. The tang buckle has also been coated to match the tone of the case.
02:30 Black PVD Bracelet
Seiko's new bracelet option is a full-steel 3-link bracelet that is similar to the Rolex Oyster bracelet. The black PVD "Hard coating" covers all facets of the bracelet and clasp, though there are still contrasting brushed/polished finishes on the top and sides of the bracelet, respectively.
03:35 Steel Bracelet
This steel bracelet is more common within the Seiko 5 Sports model line than the coated style though the finish on the bracelet and clasp are the same.
04:00 Brown, Black, & Blue NATO Straps
The NATO strap can be found throughout the Seiko 5 Sports subfamilies, though naturally they are in different colors. Seiko has also matched the metal components used in the strap with the metal/coating of the cases which is a nice detail.
All of the cases have lug holes which will aid in changing the straps/bracelet, though Seiko has evidently designed the watch head & strap as a package.
Let me know in the comments below what you think of Seiko's latest band options!
