SEIKO 5 SYMG42 Automatic Watch
Overview
The Seiko SYMG42 (4207-01W0) is a 25mm women's automatic watch with a stainless steel case and a white analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 4207 caliber self-winding mechanical movement that can be manually wound but cannot be hacked (the second hand does not stop when the crown is pulled out). It ticks 6 times per second which gives the second hand a smoother movement than quartz watches which tick once per second. The watch should run for up to 24 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.
The SYMG42 is currently ranked #33 in popularity out of 2,613 watches in this catalog. Check availability on Amazon.com.

The case of the SYMG42 measures approximately 25mm wide (not including the crown) by 10mm thick and is water resistant to 50 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths & showers but is not recommended for swimming or diving. The crown does not screw down which increases the risk that it could be pulled out accidentally while under water. The stainless steel bezel shows minute numbering and is fixed (cannot be rotated). The gap between the lugs is 12mm and the bracelet band can be adjusted to fit using a link removal tool or removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.
