Seiko SBSA009 Review (SRPD59): Breaking Down The Orange 5KX, Made In Japan

Of the seemingly-endless options available within the Seiko 5 Sports range, the SBSA009 is one of those that most directly recalls its now-discontinued ancestor, the SKX011.

Yet, the SBSA009 is more than just a copy of its predecessor; the watch received some significant upgrades that make it a modernized sports watch and, considering its price, a serious value proposition. I review these upgrades and more in this review through the following categories:
