One of them reads the minutes while the other reads the hours – in a 12-hour standard. You probably noticed the rings on its face. Speaking of its dial, there’s a calendar on it. We think its dark blue dial and white markers contrast better than the SNK805’s colourway. Considering how wet its strap will get, dunking the watch may not be a good idea. The SNK807 can only handle 100 feet (30 meters) underwater. You’re not getting the most water-resistant timepiece. As you know, the material is durable but not very waterproof.
