The Seiko 5 Sports 7S36 belongs to the older, straightforward school of Seiko automatics: day-date convenience and a movement that gets going on the wrist, not through the crown. The designation covers more than one design, so the pleasure of choosing one is finding the dial and case that suit you—not chasing a single definitive version.

The 7S36 adds two jewels to the closely related 7S26, but neither offers hand-winding or hacking; those extra jewels aren’t a reason to favor one watch over another. If you like setting to the second, the later 4R36-powered 5 Sports generation is the more accommodating choice. On a 7S36, pay particular attention to the day-date change and quickset operation. Make calendar adjustments with the hands well away from midnight, when the changeover mechanism may be engaged.
