The dad who has only ever worn quartz or a smartwatch, and the one who would appreciate something his kids could still wear. Not the runner tracking splits.
What it is
A Seiko 5 Sports automatic on the 4R36 movement, orange and black dial, 41 hour power reserve and 100m water resistance. Automatic means it winds from the movement of the wrist, with no battery. New with box, from an Australian watch seller.
Why we picked it
An automatic has no battery, which is the whole romance of it: it runs on him wearing it and stops when he does not. The Seiko 5 is the watch enthusiasts recommend to everyone for the same reason it has been recommended for fifty years, which is that the movement inside it is the one Seiko puts in watches costing four times as much. See-through case back on most of the range, so the mechanism is part of the gift.
