Now that the dust has settled since its much-hyped release over the summer, I wanted to provide my in-depth take on the Seiko 5 Sports GMT collection. As a spoiler alert, these watches are incredible for the price. What do you think of the Seiko 5 GMT?

I was gifted the orange variant by my wife, and while I have more expensive pieces in my collection, I find myself turning to this piece frequently. It wears well, looks great, and is frankly exciting to be able to have a GMT function at this-ride point. The micro adjustments on the bracelet have allowed for a very good fit, and the color contrasts are superb. Bravo, Seiko!
Please help. I bought the orange color, but on the back there was no written “Made in Japan.” Does this mean it is not original?
@@abuleen7299Seiko is a Japanese company
@@abuleen7299It is OK, do not worry. You probably have a "K1" version as mine. It means it was assembled in the Seiko factory in Malaysia. The "made in Japan" written on the back case glass is only in "J1" models, assembled in the factory in Japan. They are identical. Maybe the color tones may slightly differ (e.g. slightly darker red of the GMT hand in J1), but it is impossible to note unless you have the two versions one close to the other. My SSK003K1 "Batman" is absolutely stunning.
This was the watch that got me into the hobby and the first watch I had ever bought.
You are off to a great start.
Congrats! You have started down the watch collecting rabbit hole!
@@TeddyBaldassarreThis was my first watch with the black and grey. And now I have purchased a Orient gambino for dress watch. Now looking for something for work/gym that I will be very active with, any recommendations?
@Ralph Reilly maybe in the future, for now I'm just a student.
@@zGraeme first of all, I think you mean Bambino (great watch btw) Secondly, you can never go wrong with a G Shock 😊
After the first time I saw one of these watches and I knew I had to have it…Here’s a really helpful tip for people on a budget like me. Macy’s is the absolute best place to buy watches at this price point. I don’t have that much money to spend on watches so I need to get creative. It took me four weeks of watching Macy’s website and occasionally going into the store but I just bought a black Seiko GMT for $200 a combination of an online coupon they email me and an in-store coupon they discounted the watch from the $475 to $200
That is a fantastic price. Cheapest I found is $255.
I just checked this watch's price at Macy's, they are selling for $475.00 ..... ouch. No sales yet.
I got myself the black and gray model, and absolutely love it! I travel a lot for work, and sometimes not to the best places where I can take my most expensive pieces, so this is a permanent staple in my rotation.
I love this watch! I’ve owned mine for about 5 months and it’s my favorite watch in my collection. It looks more expensive than it is, and the bracelet looks amazing. It’s not the most comfortable bracelet, occasionally pulls on hairs, but it looks fantastic. This very well could be a future classic with a strong resell value like the SKX in the future.
Hi Teddy! In 2021, I bought my first “real” watch. A Seiko 5 srpd51. A couple of months later, after watching your review, I fell in love with the 1959 Alpinist (spb243) and bought it. Sold the Seiko 5, then, bought a 36mm Omega Seamaster 300. I’m still in love with the looks of the Alpinist and with all the design and story behind the Seamaster, but I can’t deny that the Seiko 5 was the real deal, considering it’s price tag. I mean, it only costs a fraction of what I paid on my two current watches, but it holds up pretty well when compared to them.
Thank you Teddy! As usual your reviews involve topics and watches we all are excited about. I own this watch since day 1 it was introduced. Got it shipped from Japan. It is an exceptional value and keeps a good time. I am loving it!
Just bought this watch today mostly on attractiveness and the first thing I did was research reviews. I'm glad I came across your review as I am now confident I got a great watch. Thanks. Stationed in Japan and just started my collection. Bought a Presage, Prospex, and now this one for my everyday wear!
Bought mine for my60th birthday a month ago, best watch I have to date, courtesy of your comments and recommendations Teddy, I love it.
I ended up choosing this for my first watch last month, and i absolutely love it! I went for the blueberry. Its got me hook line and sinker into the world of watches.
I just bought the SSK003 in blue for a graduation gift to myself. I love it. Starting a new job on Monday and wanted to get away from smart/fitness watches and have a real time piece.
For the price definitely a win. I got the black version this month and it was running +1.5 seconds per day consistently when i wore it 5 days in a row.
It is resting in the watch box now until it is again his turn in the rotation.
Absolute great buy!❤
I got the ssk005 for Christmas and absolutely love it! Photos never do the orange dial justice. It’s a pleasure to look at in any lighting conditions. And the Lume is insanely good.
Agree, I have the orange dial SRPD Seiko 5. I wear it regularly from last 1 year but everytime I see the dial, it just makes me fall in love with it again.
@@dhruvalbhansali3632 Hi Dhruval, I am a recent watch collector and wanted to know if the GMT's can be used in Asian countries which have time difference of +/- 30mins? As I understand these come with an additional hour hand but minutes cant be changed
@@dhruvalbhansali3632 same with the blueberry for me sometimes I just stare at it falling in love again
Soooo glad I found you and your website confidence in buying is priceless. Just ordered the ssk003 "Batman" from you. Keep up the good work and honest reviews.
Very happy with mine. I was expecting it to feel to big on my wrist, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it wears and feels smaller than the size might suggest. I usually wear maximum 40mm watches, but this is now my favourite daily driver.
Nice watch. Added this to my list that I made based on watching your videos for over a month. Finally yesterday bought it from Amazon. Can’t wait for its arrival.
Thnx for your videos, very useful.
Thanks for the review Teddy! I watched another review you did of this watch and bought the SSK005. It’s great value !
I’ve added one of these to my small, growing collection, too. Thank you for a great review (as usual)!
I own one and it's great. But I'd be happy to pay a little bit more if it had:
- A click bezel
- A sapphire crystal
- A screw down crown
- A machined clasp rather than pressed steel
(and a nice touch would be a pepsi version).
With those changes it would be truly outstanding. Right now it's just very good.
Pepsi with white dial would have also been great
at this price point they should be able to give us all these without having to pay more, chinese micro brands are giving all these features for half the price and a Seiko movement already, just doesnt have the history and status that Seiko does, I guess thats what we're really paying for
@@kidcxspr-xw6kg what brands/where can I get them?
@@MertKabakcicheck suguess and seagull for chinese and also check certina their quartz watches have way better quality than this seiko also check christopher wards
@@MertKabakcipagani design and even invicta
I got the ssk003 for myself a Christmas and I absolutely love this watch. Perfect alignment wears so well it has dominated all my wrist time I find my self gravitating towards every time I go to my watch box. Absolutely scratched the gmt itch for me
Bought the orange one a month ago, and bought a orange/black/grey/white nato strap with golden buckles, it matches the watch perfectly. Also caught the attention of some people at my work place. I’m very happy with this addition, definitely recommend 👌🏼
Thanks for sharing your ownership story!
Can you put the link of the strap you bought? Thank you
P.S. How many +/- seconds per day does your specimen do?
Did ppl compliment you???
@@evolution8662 What kind of question is that hahah
@@cupofmozzarella He daud he caught the attention of some pl... So am asking did anyone compliment him......
Own the orange version, and 'do it all' is a great description.
I cannot think of a better holiday watch. Keeping track of home time zone - check. At home in the pool, beach, and even in the evening - check. Affordable, so (drunken) accidental damage is no big deal - check.
So far it shows minimal signs of wear, keeps great time, and gets nothing but great comments from friends.
Literally just bought one. It wears super well and is easy to pair with most outfits/contexts. It's literally the best beater/all rounder you can get at this price range, and it looks good enough for anything short of your own wedding day.
My brother gifted me the blue version just recently. I have to say that I absolutely love this watch. It looks fantastic. Wears so great I hardly remember I have it on my wrist. This is a fantastic watch!
I got the blue/black version when it was made available again. I was so glad that the Seiko representative at Macy’s brought it to my attention. With a great price point, and Macy’s store discount. I had to pull the trigger on this. Making this the first GMT in my collection. Very satisfied with this watch. Appreciate the review, love the channel.
yes the blue black dial color so pretty also grey too so nice i think i will get one
Bought one during my overseas trip and as my first mechanical watch, been super happy with.
Heres to a long marathon of watch collecting.
I bought the black model and after more than 3 months I do not have any complaint about it. I am very happy with and honestly I selected after checking a video where you talked very nice about these new models of seiko 5 gmt. Thanks Teddy
SSK001 owner here. Love this watch. It's in my daily rotation. Initially had some issues as I was losing ~2-3 minutes a day, and one day, it just stopped. Had to send for repair, but Seiko warranty rocks, and got it back in 2 weeks. Pleased to say the +/- is now in spec. The biggest downside to me is the mineral crystal as with daily wear, one day it's going to scratch, but the bezel is slightly raised, which I think helps, and at sub $500, you really can't have everything, and at sub $500, you are really getting a lot.
Hi Teddy: I have the SSK005 and it is a compliment magnet, I think it a great watch. Though maybe not a " True GMT' it is a great compilation to have. Seiko hit it out of the park with these. I also can say that the bracelet is very comfortable and a step up from many others. It also looks great and elevates the watch from simply sporty to a dressier sport watch. It looks great with a tee shirt and jeans as well as under the cuff of a sports jacket.
This watch is amazing, the ability to track 3 TZ is great, as a pilot i wear it every flight, plus if i scratch it it doesn’t hurt as much as scratching my Breitling.
Thanks to Teddy’s suggestion this is my first mechanical watch. I got the blueberry version and I absolutely love it. I have a small wrist yet it fits perfectly. I also bought a casio duro kermit as a daily beater. Cheers to Teddy🍻
After watching this video and doing some research, I got the Blue version. It's a great watch and I love it. This is my first mechanical watch and the crystal is much better than other lower budget watches I had.
I only had Seiko in mind and bought it at a pretty good deal.
I got the 003 when it was released. Love it. I had it on the day I went to buy a new JLC at the AD and the staff seemed more excited at looking at my new GMT than selling me my Master Control!!
Been a fan of Seiko for a while now. I bought the 003 (blue dial) recently. Fantastic watch, looks beautiful and feels great on the wrist. Plus, getting a GMT at this price point is a steal. Highly recommend it.
I got the SSK003. My first automatic watch. Have been wearing it since. It’s great. I never actually thought I would ever replace my Apple Watch but it did. At first I thought the non click y bezel would annoy me but nope! Wasn’t an issue at all. In fact I can align it at the 12 hour mark perfectly!
I been waiting for this watch since September , thanks for all the great content you create …👏🏻😊
Literally was looking at this exact watch, idk how this video was so perfectly timed
Nice view Teddy! Lovely macro camera work - speaking of home runs . . .
I bought a blue SSK003 a couple of months back. I'd wanted one ever since they were released, but getting it in my hands for the first time, it's every bit as good as in the photos, possibly better - something you certainly can't say for all watches! Very comfortable wearing watch, great legibility, superb lume as you mentioned, and the functionality of the GMT hand to track another time zone . . . yup, Seiko nailed it. I wear mine a lot!
I purchased the SSK001 back in January to celebrate a promotion at work, and as an early birthday present to myself. I love it's versatility as I've worn it professionally and casually. It was the only watch that I wore during a recent trip to London, UK and Dublin, IRL. I paired it with a green/red/ black NATO strap from Nick Mankey Designs.
i have one too with the batman/blueberry color. i love the watch but since i'm new to watch especially automatic one, is it ok if i take it regularly when i'm riding a motorcycle? since that's how i travel from day to day and i don't want to ruin my first automatic watch hahaha.
If you love it than wear it, and riding a motorcycle probably helps it. Automatic watches use a freely rotating metal weight called a "rotor" to coil the mainspring which makes the watch tick. The rotor converts a wearer's kinetic energy into the power needed to move the rotor.

This is my first automatic watch I've bought for myself. I love the look of it, wish it had a crystal in the front, but never the less love it. Switch my bracelet to a strapcode bracelet that just looks amazing on the watch. Thank you Teddy for educating me and helping me choose my first watch, I plan to buy more eventually but will be checking your channel before I do so!!
This was my first automatic too! I love the cyclops date magnifier and the lume is insanely good. I agree with you about the sapphire crystal as opposed to the Hardlex. It scratches WAY easier so I’ll have to be careful. Glad you are happy with the watch- cheers!
Good quality info and content. Thankyou. G
Bought the blueberry one or sometimes called the Batman in January, my second Seiko in my collection, and it turn out to be the one I wear everytime! I love it!
Very good Lume compare to my other watches. Thank you for a great honest review.
I got the SSK001 last month and I absolutely love it! I switched the bracelet with a Seiko rubber strap. I have several watches in my collection and I reach for this one everyday. Awesome to hear this review from you Teddy! Well done!
Where did you pick up the rubber strap?
could you put the price and the link of the Seiko rubber strap? Thank you.
P.S. How many +/- seconds per day does your specimen do?
Uncle seiko makes the best alternative for straps. Whatever you do, don’t buy from strapsco… absolute garbage rubber.
Hi, are the SSK collection watches automatic watches or mechanical?
@@hallvardfoh they are mechanical automatic.
Got my Seiko Blueberry SKK and it is a start of my journey in the watch world!! Love the watch, the absolute best and worth every penny.
I own this watch from last two months... It is one of the best things I ever bought... It is a beautiful piece of jewelery...still puts a smile on my face everytime I wear it before I go out...
As you mentioned, a few microbrands use the movement - I picked up a Nodus Sector GMT which uses it because I preferred the aesthetics and its marginally narrower case. It sacrifies the 3rd timezone but I only need to track 2.
Wowww I literally went to teddy’s website YESTERDAY and put myself on notification so I can buy one of these watches when they come back in stock. 😮
Just got the blue one yesterday along with an Orient Kamasu. Very nice review thanks!
Bought the SSK003 earlier this month after waiting for several weeks from different AD. My first GMT watch that became a daily beater since I’m working with clients from 2 other timezones. Was lucky to get a piece that does not have the usual misalignments. Thinking of buying the SSK001 soon. 😂😅
Fell in love with the SSK001K1 Black GMT 5 when walking past a seiko boutique last year. Saw it again at the airport and was obsessed with it ever since. Went to an AD and got the SSK003K1 Blueberry instead from the recommendation of the salesman and my gf. So glad I got the blue version as it’s special and unique even though I wanted the black initially. It’s my 1st automatic watch too as I got myself the Tissot Tradition Chronograph 4 years ago when I got out of the army and went to university
This will be my next watch. I just got a Lunar Pilot and love it and I'd like to continue adding higher value watches to my Casio/Seiko/Orient collection. It was your review that pushed me over the edge on the Bulova though, thanks for the great content and keep up the good work.
Got this watch 3 weeks ago as a gift to myself. saw it on display in a watch store and once i wore it i fell in love with it. fits great my 6.75 inch wrist
I bought all three for me and my sons. Great watches. Really like what seiko has done. I also own an skx and love it
got this as a gift for my birthday a few months ago, definitely a fantastic watch!
Just bought the all black one today and I absolutely love it!!! Hard to believe you’re getting that kind of accuracy from that price point
This channel got me into watches. Thanx
I just bought the ssk003 model today. It definitely looks amazing, I didn't realize out of the 3 of them this one is out the most in time. I'm still going to keep it. I did manage to get one heck of a great deal on it, so even though I was only planning on spending 200 today I ended up spending 450 and bought this beautiful piece and that's in canadian dollars lol. This was suppose to be the watch that replaced my daily watch but I don't want to have to worry about it. So maybe it might just go in my collection instead of a day to day watch. Great video Ted thank you for the information.
Amazing watch! Thanks for sharing
Hi Teddy, after hearing your recommendation regarding the Seiko GMT I decided to purchase one. I always look forward to your video's.
I have the blue/black one and love it! It’s a fun and comfortable watch to wear! I bought it as a daily and travel watch!
I had the Blueberry one for my birthday, never owned a Seiko watch before and was very surprised how nice they are. The bezel is awesome, in some light it looks black and other angles it’s a bright electric blue colour. It is a shame about the Hesalite crystal but it is harder than mineral....so they say
The lume brightens is second to none
Great review covering everything 👍
Brilliant review.
I think this year the Traska Venturer GMT with the new Miyota 9075 true GMT movement is also a great contender! And even though it was released more than a month ago two colours are still available.
This is my first automatic watch. Purchased later year in September. Selected the orange color and absolutely love it.
I watched your video yesterday, and bought the SSK001 today 🎊 My first watch! I enjoy your videos so much Teddy. You really got me rooting for *timepieces*
Much love and respect from India ❤️
These fly out of Macy's displays at a steady rate. Very good. Fantastic watch from Seiko. Sure, it's probably a fraction of the numbers Apple is selling with their computer watches (a.k.a. Apple Watch), but hey, I don't think automatic watches have ever been selling at this rate since the introduction of the Seiko 5 GMT.
Love your videos and listen to your recommendations. I bought the blue Seiko GMT when it first came out. Had to return it to Seiko twice when it stopped running. Disappointed that it runs about 15 seconds a day slow. Other than that, it's great. Love the GMT functions. My doctor asked me if it was a Rolex.
I have had the SSK001 for a month now, and it is fantastic! It has become the watch I wear most.
Appreciate your videos. So which color variation are you thinking about Teddy ? Do you sell rubber wristband as an alternative?
I purchased the orange one and think it's an amazing watch. I think the bracelet that comes with it is just fine, but I switched it out with an orange silicon strap and I think it just looks amazing.
Just purchased one yesterday looking forward to having in the collection.
I am a new watch collector. I just ordered the zelos blacktip meteorite gmt using this movement. Can't wait for it to arrive!
Been waiting for your review of this for MONTHSSSSS!
Holy smokes Teddy liked my comment!
Love you, man! Keep doing what you do! You inspired me to start collecting watches!
I own (black) this watch and love its looks. It pairs nicely with black rally type straps too. Teddy has amazing insight, he accurately describes the watch to an impressive level of detail. My two biggest criticisms are the legibility and non-click bevel. For some reason, its more difficult to read than my other Seiko 5 watch. Maybe it’s the shiny bezel, maybe the cyclops, or even maybe poor AR treatment. But is really hard to read unless you look at sit straight on. Still a great watch for the price and I got good comments from people about it.
I just bought the 019 version and I love it. Accuracy on this is very good much better than spec. Also power reserve is very good. As Teddy says this watch is not perfect but it is a great first GMT watch to your collection. Highly recommend.
I own the blue black one myself and I absolutely recommend buying it. The fit is perfect, the bracelet even if everyone says it’s bad for me it’s not bad at all, the clasp is stamped but the quality of the bracelet itself is good enough for the price. Cheers.
Why does he wear like a 40mm if it’s a 42.5?
@@007therealjamesbond Hi. I think it’s because of the short lug to lug distance. Cheers.
@@Rodolfoguerra12 interesting. Thank you 👍🏻
@@007therealjamesbond you are welcome.
Same here. i love the watch but since i'm new to watch especially automatic one, is it ok if i take it regularly when i'm riding a motorcycle? since that's how i travel from day to day and i don't want to ruin my first automatic watch hahaha
Just got my 005 today. Very pleased to say the least. My collection includes several seiko 5, and this went straight to the top. A change of band for me because this metal band is a little too noisy for my plans. Strapcode has really good options for most seiko 5 and the SSK.
fabulous news! my recent Seiko buy is an LX GMT spring drive. I love it. it's main purpose is to show me the time in my home country of Poland when I'm not there. that's why I chose the white-on-red GMT hand version. although the general purpose of a GMT is to ease keeping various times as you travel, I hesitate to actually travel with my new fav as I'd rather make sure everything on me is disposable when I travel. I really like the idea that this S5 can be my travel GMT, while I keep the LX as my home GMT. there's enough style and quality in this S5 to serve the purpose. I can have little concern about dumb loss, theft, damage. it may even be a good enough barter item to get out of a travel "situation." that's a fantasy of course. still, I like to think that a more likely scenario would be for it to be a shirt-off-your-back give opportunity to a friend or family ❤😎
I was initially put off by the polished center links, but found out the JDM black version has an all brushed bracelet. I picked one up from Japan for well under retail, and I love it. Great watch!
Where did you get that? I'll be going later in the year and plan to do some watch shopping. Thank you in advance.
@@bevtsen I ordered mine online from Sakura watches. Their prices fluctuate a bit with exchange rate, but they often have great prices on JDM only stuff. I’ve never been to Japan though.
I have one and I love it. My other main watches are a Prospex LX SNR-033 and a Speedmaster (2022). The Seiko 5 does not pale. It’s on my wrist right now.
I got the SSk003 about 3 weeks ago and I haven’t stopped wearing it. I have a modest watch collection and I was wearing a different watch almost daily but now… I haven’t taken the SSK003 off of my wrist. Absolutely in love with it.
Same here, exact same watch, we have great taste! haha
Jumped on the SSK005 immediately, great addition to the collection. Great beater watch, looks great, wears great.
Bought this watch several months ago. I haven't regretted it at all. Really nice pick up.
Love this watch! Can’t get enough of it. This is my first true watch purchase. Thank you Teddy for the info on it. Now on to the next. PRX here I come !
Extremely beautiful.
Thank you...
I just bought the ssk003 for my 33th birthday. Very happy with this beautiful watch
Got the ssk003 as the japanese domestic model (sbsc-003) whilst I was in Japan in an end of year sale for 320 USD last December!
Great value watch!
The jubilee style bracelet is fantastic ! Makes the watch looks really classy.
Completely unplanned splurge (tomorrow is my birthday). Went to get two watches battery changed and left with this bad boy! I did eventually want to get a GMT but didn’t know much about this watch. I knew I loved the watch but I left feeling a bit of buyers remorse but couldn’t turn down the discount I received and got it for around $389 USD here in Singapore. THEN I watched so many videos about how great this watch is and felt completely justified! I personally love the smooth rotating bezel without the clicks. I bought the SSK003 and it’s beautiful, comfortable, and with frequent international travel the GMT function will be indispensable. One of the few times I’m glad I was an impulsive shopper!
Couldn't wait to get my hands on the blue variant
Absolutely love it and its pretty damn comfortable considering it's a a chunker
I own the SSK005 - the satsuma orange dial variant and I'd recommend it to any collector. Possibly not the colour to go for if it's your first or only watch but I've always wanted that SKX011 look and have it now. For me, summer is travel and I have a travel watch that's going to be so summery. I also think too much has been made of the friction bezel. It's fine and I'd prefer this to a unidirectional bezel that you see on other affordable GMTs - a GMT bezel isn't meant to be unidirectional.
The negatives are few but obvious. Hardlex crystal, unsigned crown and a pressed clasp. A bit disappointing at just under €500 retail, but you kinda pay it for a big brand and Seiko are one of the biggest.
I wear mine every day for work! We operate in 3 times zones so it makes life so easy. It’s comfy, I ware mine 12 hours a day or more! I’ve even convinced friends to get into it as well!
I bought one as an impulse purchase the day they were available. (not a good idea!) It's been a regular addition to my rotation ever since. Good form and function. It's a keeper.
Got the 001 and 005 when they came out from my AD. I fully agree with Teddy on his excellent review, the Mikan(001) gets almost daily wear, very comfortable size for my 7.5 wrist, very comfortable bracelet, getting the same anecdotal accuracy, and excellent lume. I like the friction bezel on this GMT watch, it functions perfectly for its intended use, no QC issues on both of mine that have the “Made in Japan” at 630. I would look for versions that have that “Made in Japan” script.
Mine is at +20 per day 😢
@@AlecGrinage I’m sorry to hear that my friend. Maybe it has been magnetized? That can be fixed by a watchmaker, or they could regulate it to improve the accuracy.
I am glad that SEIKO offers 3 new GMT watches. The design is nice and it seems that it is good quality. I have forgotten SEIKO during 10 years. It is time to go back and get a GMT. For an engineer it is difficult tu understand how SEIKO is able to offer nice watches for less than 500 $. I bought 2 cheap SEIKO in my life and i was never desappointed b the performances. Thank you TEDDY.
I have the black and grey variant and I love it. The bracelet is a big con for me but I switched it for a black, white and red nato strap and it really changed everything
Just purchased the SSK017 (Yellow dial) for less than $350.00 . It looks great on my pretty small wrists (Had to take out most of the adjustable links.). Absolutely love this watch, it's going to see a lot of use! Way to go, Seiko!!!
I got one of these discounted 20% in the January sales and I really like it. It was a bit confusing to set the GMT to begin with but I got used to it over the first couple of days. It does keep time better than my Cocktail Time. I swapped the bracelet for the grey and blue NATO from the Seiko shop and I think it improved how it looks quite a bit.
After watching this video, I made my decision on getting one as well for the collection. Thanks Teddy ❤
Im getting myself an ssk005 coming this month!!! So excited 😊
