The 17mm lug width is a concrete spec, and some owners find the stock strap potentially poor, with manual winding and hacking absent. Overall, owners rate the Seiko 5 Automatic Black Dial Steel Strap Men's Watch SNK361K1 highly for its comfortable wear and impressive accuracy at its price point.

One owner found the bracelet acceptable among Seiko 5 models, while another noted the watch's reliability. Some owners wish for greater water resistance and have observed dust under the crystal. One owner finds the lugs too pointy, and another found the 38mm case size appealing after previously finding a 44mm watch too large for a 15cm wrist.
