SEIKO Diver SMA237 Kinetic Watch
Overview
The Seiko SMA237 (5J22-0AG0) is a 38mm men's kinetic watch with a stainless steel case and a black analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a 5J22 caliber quartz movement that cannot be manually wound but can be hacked (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out). The watch should run for up to 6 months when fully charged and will recharge when moved.
The SMA237 is currently ranked #650 in popularity out of 751 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown.

The case of the SMA237 measures approximately 38mm wide (not including the crown) by 10mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving) but is not recommended for scuba 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 can be rotated. The gap between the lugs is 18mm 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.
The SMA237 provides the following features and complications:
- Second hand
- Minute hand
- Hour hand
- Date window to show the day of the month. Note that some watches may be damaged if you attempt to change the date between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM, in which case you should change the time to be outside that range first then reset the time after adjusting the date. Check your watch manual for details.
- Rotatable bezel
