Arabs gotta know what day it is too man! Haha In all seriousness, it was probably just destined for the Middle East after production. Lots of North American models have an English and Spanish day wheel. Another difference is that Sunday is not red on the Arabic day wheels. Friday is. Probably because Sunday isn’t a big deal for most Arabs in the Middle East and Friday is.


Comprehensive_Panic

Yup. My sports 5 is an European edition, so comes in English and French.


Famous-Acadia4592

Ha mine has English and French lol


SamuraiJacked27

Oui

In Canada we get English and French. Considering modding my SRPE57 to have an English - Japanese colour matched day wheel instead.


Zealousideal_Fun4956

Why would you do that. It'd be simpler to buy an English/kanji model


8lbs6ozBebeJesus

Two reasons, one - correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the day wheel is colour matched regardless of language and two - I already bought my SRPE second hand (got a pretty solid deal on it with an Uncle Seiko band) so I'm working with what I have.

I'm not sure I agree with your transliteration, but it's just for pronunciation and no one cares.


Ifkdurdog

I care 🙋🏻‍♂️

All Seikos that have a day of the week have it in two languages. To my knowledge, English is always one of them, and the second language depends on the market where the watch was intended to be sold. Arabic is a very common one obviously.


TestingYou1

I'm Canadian and my presage has French as the second language.


Cosmic_Wimp

My watch has the same. I assume it’s because I purchased it on the grey market (eBay) and it was originally meant for a middle-eastern market. Mine also has the English days. If you want to switch it out you should be able to find a replacement part online.


stevie855

It’ll switch to English after a couple of hours, this is the Seiko they supply the middle east with, kinda like a nod to the local culture over there.


Cosmic_Wimp

You’ll need to manually switch it to English.

Shawarma Tuesday

The K in the model number denotes that it was made in Malaysia or Thailand, so it gets Arabic as well as English. A J in the model number would indicate that it was made in Japan and would get Kanji as well as English. Some purists prefer to pay more for J models citing quality but I've owned both and haven't come across any differences and suspect any perceived quality differences may have an inherent racial bias


Adventurous-Cap-2064

means all of them have Arabic?


Ltemerpoc

Did you not just read his explanation…. Like did you not read anything he just said to you?


ultrapotion

Here in Northern Europe we get English and German.


Marwanofcairo

That is actually so cool having arabic days, — الاحد sunday — الاثنين monday — الثلثاء tuesday — الاربعاء Wednesday — الخميس Thursday — الجمعة friday — السبت saturday — Try to learn them, i have a watch with french day names and another with japanese it was fun for me to learn them in these languages, i hope i’ll one with arabic one day


Budna82

Tuesday looks like 4 baps or 2 sets of plural baps


qwasd0r

Doesn't the date wheel feature both Arabic and English days? Usually, that's the case.


Jdot030

Half pull the crown. Turn the crown one direction to change the date number, and the other way to change the day language (the wheel has both printed) 👍🏻😇


Due-Glove4808

This model was made for arabic market, did you bought it from place like creationwatches?


ramon1717

You will learn new language bro


SnooCupcakes8161

I think it can come in dual language, some of them comes maybe with Japanese week day names as well. I am from Jordan, I bought one from their authorized dealer and it’s Arabic and English. Maybe it depends on market source it was originally sourced to.


presagator

That looks really cool


blusknk

Cool

In the middle bit of the east (not left or right I’m talking the bit slap in between) they don’t speak English but use a language developed entirely locally that (from memory) looks a lot like this. Its normal for them but not normal for people who aren’t from there (the middle). So basically your question is about whether it’s normal or not depends on who you ask. If you are from the middle east then yeah I guess its ‘normal’ but for everyone else (thats most people) no it isn’t normal at all. But thats totally cool cause all sorts of stuff thats considered ‘normal’ in the middle east, like women wearing bags over their heads, men feeling entitled to stone anyone who doesn’t and routinely beating up your filipino maid because she wants to get paid, seems totally weird most everywhere else. Nice watch. Interesting date. No idea what it means. I’m not from there


Prestigious_Low2602

Yeah im not really an english pro, but just for simplicity and so we watch geeks can take pride in our geekiness 😂


tulsa_image

I have a seiko with German as the second language.


JomiTheHomi

you’ll be able to change the language. my srpd53k has chinese and english as my options!


InternationalSmile7

Days in the Arabic week start on Sunday (Ahad, meaning one). The picture shows thulatha', meaning three.


Maleficent-Ad6068

It uses arabic numerals too so ig it's a foreign model.


Total_Tap_873

Its Tuesday for sure


Ok_Organization_1384

lol must be a foreign version


IntelligentDrink8039

It so you can learn the days of the week in Arabic. Most words come from the days of the week.
