Thought I would give a quick update. My Seiko 5 SNK809 arrived about two weeks ago and I really like it. At first it felt quite heavy given I've had a very light Casio Illuminator on my watch the last few years, but now I hardly notice it.
I went with the metal band which has worked out well but at some point I might replace it with a black leather strap. The metal band doesn't grip my arm hair like I thought it would so that's good. The watch seems to keep the time well and I haven't had to adjust it yet.
The one thing I need to remind myself though is to put it on once in a while on the weekends so that it keeps itself wound. Typically I wouldn't wear a watch on evenings and weekends but have been throwing it on for an hour or so on the weekend and it hasn't stopped yet.
