On January 12, 2014 I Published My Review of the Seiko SNK809

Bought on a whim, and the subject of the first watch giveaway I ever ran on WYCA, the SNK809 is a special watch. Over the last 2.5 years it’s become the single most popular review on WYCA, generating thousands of page views every month.

The SNK809 was one of the first watches that I photographed using my then-new Nikon D3200 DSLR camera. Some shots aren’t bad, but I find myself often wishing I had a done a better job. Not just of the photography, mind you, but of the review in general.

As of today WYCA has over 70 reviews on it, with all but two being penned by myself. With more experience in the world of watches, and with considerably more experience with watch photography, I decided to rebuy the SNK809 and reassess my review.
