Hi guys. Today I???m writing about the Seiko SNZG15 review.
I???m sure most of you guys know about the Seiko SNK809, the very affordable and lovable automatic watch from the Japanese.
Well, this SNZG15 is a sort of an upgrade over the SNK809 with bigger size and better overall build quality in my opinion.
Not to mention the better water resistance rating in this watch (100 m vs 30 m) compared to the SNK809 makes it a great choice for adventure type of activities.
No worries, we will get into the detail comparison of both watches later on.
SNZG15K1 VS SNZG15J1
I believe I should write a bit about one of the common questions regarding the Seiko SNZG15 ??? What???s the difference between SNZG15K1 vs SNZG15J1?
To put it simply, the J version is made in Japan while the K version is made elsewhere in Asia (China, Southeast Asia, etc).
That???s why you guys will frequently encounter the J version to has command higher price than the K version.
Fans associate the Made In Japan SNZG15J1 having a higher quality than the SNZG15K1 and are willing to pay a higher price for that.
Now, I???m pretty sure Seiko has the same quality standards for their factories but it???s quite hard to not say the Made in Japan version to be better.
Either way, it depends on how much you want that Made In Japan badge.
Just know that the Japan version typically costs more ??? the SNZG15J1 can be about $30-$40 more expensive than the SNZG15K1.
With that out of the line, let???s get into the in-depth Seiko SNZG15 review shall we.
