Seiko Recraft Series Automatic Watch
A visible automatic movement under $250. The cheapest honest way to become a watch person.
Our rating
4.7 out of 5
Seiko's movement is robust, serviceable and visible through the caseback, which is the cheapest honest route into mechanical watches. It runs to about fifteen seconds a day — that is how automatics work, not a fault.
