I got one of those 5s, Its alright but I brought it to just wear biking and whatnot. Then someone on here tells me they cant cope with the vibration on the bike, but if you don’t wear it for a couple of days cos you’re riding the damn thing stops,
Should have bought that bloody al quaida casio.
Whoever told you about them not being able to cope with vibration is talking poo. Sure, they’re not unbreakable but they are as robust as the vast majority of auto movements out there. This is from Seikos website –
Shock resistance was assured with two Seiko inventions. First, the mainspring was made from “Diaflex,”
an unbreakable alloy, and the “Diashock,” system was created to protect the movement from shock within the case.
As for the water resistance, the SNK’s are rated to 30m yet some people insist that this means that it is only splashproof. I have tested one to 60m so rest assured that you can safely go swimming with one, or even pop it in the washing machine if you wish.
And for the OP, check out strapcode.com. They are Hong Kong based but any time I have bought from them they have shipped from the UK.
