  • The Seiko 5 Sports GMTs are fantastic affordable automatic GMTs that sets a new standard for a complication previously unattainable around $500.

    Took a nice little break and a great vacation - the SSK003 was on my wrist the entire time. Feeling rejuvinated and ready to get back to making content! Have some exciting stuff prepared, stay tuned for more.
    What do you think about the Seiko 5 GMTs?

      Could you make a review about the Steinhart GMT watches? They are super well-made for the price, swiss movements with 28,000 VPH and have a 300m water resistance rating

    Just purchased this watch this past Friday and I’m loving it . I own the SKX009 as well. It’s cool having both the old school and this new SSK003 👍🏻

    GMT movement, new and improved jubilee bracelet, hardlex on bezel and applied indices. This makes me want to run to my seiko AD.

    Very nice video, thanks!
    I love GMT watches, and I heard a lot about the new Seiko. The hands are a bit stubby for such a large watch, but it's very nice.
    I wish I could have seen a bit more of turning the bezel - I was surprised you said it was a friction bezel with no click stops. So that means you have to align the hour yourself, correct?

    • @ChronometerCheck
      @ChronometerCheck  Год назад

      Thanks Frank. Hm, interesting point on the hands. Think they're so similar, if not identical, to that of the SKX that I've had for years that I didn't notice.
      You are correct, the bezel has no click stops. The feel is nice and smooth but I did notice in my use the bezel would get pushed out of place throughout the day, which is frustrating.

    When I was Army, and traveling a whole lot, a GMT would have come in pretty handy (but at the time I was more of a chronometer guy) Now that I don't travel as much a GMT seems impractical. However, I do like this Seiko.
    I came in late to the "collection" game and missed out on the SKX (not gonna buy one on the secondary though). Really bummed about that because it seems every watch collector loves the SKX. 😢

      That's just how the watch game goes, good watches come and go. I joined the hobby too late to get a Seiko alpinist with the Ginza dial. But new watches are always coming out so you never know when the next SKX is gonna be released.

      You're good man. The SKX is nothing special you'd be better off with a seiko turtle or a samurai and it's even cheaper than the SKX on the secondary

    To play devil’s advocate, the Swiss Made, smoother highbeat (28.8k) movement, Glycine GMT are available online in the same price range (even lower for careful shoppers). They are thinner (11mm) and also available in a variety of colors and in steel or bronze cases and 200m WR with a sapphire crystal and a screwdown crown. 7 strikes and you’re out.

    • @ChronometerCheck
      @ChronometerCheck  Год назад +4

      Wasn't aware of this - sounds like an absolutely awesome value. 11mm for a GMT is impressive! Plus all of the other features you've mentioned.

      Glycine equivalents (Airman) are 4 to 5 or even more times the price of the Seiko. They are not in the same price range.

      Imo, the Tissot Seastar 1000 chrono is too big. Whereas this is a bit more wearable. So I'd say go with this one.
