  • The Seiko 5 GMT might look like another SKX clone but in the metal, it's so much more than that! Every little detail has been worked over and that's what makes this release so sweet, especially at the price offered. Proving again, that Seiko is still good value in 2022.

    (Dang it, I was almost ready to pass it by and now you've talked me into one again.) Thanks for the best Traveler vs Caller explanation so far. If YOU are travelling, you need to bump the local hour hand without losing accuracy, but if you are calling someone you need to bump the "other" hand to keep track of their zone. No one else has explained it that well so far.

    This Seiko gmt is a good deal more useful for actually traveling than most all of the so-called true gmts, for the simple fact that it’s not a dual-timer; you get a 24 scale on the chapter ring, and the same on the bezel insert.
    Set the gmt hand to utc, and leave it there. You’re going to be referencing it if you’re using this gmt watch as a… gmt watch, and that 24 scale means you’re going to be able to correctly read utc at a glance.
    Use the bezel insert to set local destination time. Leave the hour hand on home time.
    It’s a good deal easier to simply adjust the bezel insert for a new destination time than to constantly be pulling the crown out - particularly when this one doesn’t screw down.
    In short, this Seiko is a triple-timer, or Zulu + 2.
    If you don’t actually use utc when you travel, get a ‘true’ gmt, as most of them are essentially dual-timers anyway.
    Being able to jump the hour hand, as opposed to the gmt hand, is a cool complication, but one who’s significance is mostly as a fidget spinner for collectors who don’t use them to a practical purpose.

      It is amazing how this so often gets missed. I never understood the rotating bezel on GMTs until I saw Seiko (and Grand Seiko) usefully also put the fixed 24 hour scale in the rehaut. Otherwise you're stuck doing the mental timezone gymnastics that GMTs are meant to prevent.

      This is how I use my Glycine Airman. There’s one shortcoming to this method. If you’re traveling on the other side of the world, there are times when it can be difficult to figure if home time is am or pm if it is in the 12 hour scale. It’s workable but just takes an extra mental calculation.

    Whether you should prefer a caller or a traveler GMT function depends on how you use the GMT hand when you travel. I travel quite a bit, and I set it so the hour/minute hands are always my local time. I adjust the GMT hand to the time back home, and the 24-hour bezel to my preferred third time zone. That’s just me. When I was in the military and all our plans were referenced to Zulu or Greenwich Mean Time, a traveler would have worked better because Zulu never changes no matter where I am. Or, if I were an airline pilot. I’m retired now and was never a pilot, so the traveler GMT function has no appeal for me. Buy and wear what you like and what works for you, not what someone says you should buy out of some sense of doctrinal purity.

    It's a terrific value. I got one for 25 percent off during a July 4th sale. At $355, it's a steal; even at regular price it's a good value. The "new" Seiko 5 series is really a great entryway to automatic watches for newbies. The SPRD diver-style watches come in so many color ways and dial designs--with tie ins to video games, anime series, and other popular culture touch points. The SRPE DressKx offers more of an everyday sports watch similar to a Black Bay 36/41. And then there are the new field watches replacing the beloved SNK800 series. Something for everyone, and affordable, once you factor in that they eventually they can be found for 25% off MSRP. Also, the new 4R34 movement will make it way to microbrands as the NH34.

    Good review. I recently purchased a 5KX and while many reviewers would give it a lot of flack, saying it's not an SKX, it was never intended to be. When I got it I also did not want an SKX due to the many shortcomings of the watch. The attention to detail and workmanship, like in the GMT in your review, as well as many improvements makes the 5KX a much more desirable watch for me. Not ISO 200m? It really means nothing to me. I am not a SCUBA diver, and even if I decided to take up this sport, I would definitely use a modern dive computer, not that I don't trust my 5KS at 15m deep, lol! The whole "screw down" crown thing is somewhat of a myth. Yes, there are some watch models that rely on the screw down crown O-ring for the main seal, but a properly designed and applied captive stem O-ring will seal to pretty well any depts until the forces rupture the O-ring, well beyond human capabilities, lol! I am retired from a career in the field of Oceanography and have designed, fabricated and deployed many deep sea sub sea equipment. They all relied on one captive O-ring for sealing at depths of up to 2km. There are a lot of so-called "experts" simply barking up a tree on that matter. So, I digress. I simply love the beauty and real world functionality of the 5KX.

      As the watch ages could the O-ring dry out? Intuitively it feels like screw down is such an easy and low cost way to provide near 100% protection/keep it fresh and sealed in all conditions and time frames etc.

An acrylic is fit under constant tension, so it is able to maintain a good seal on its own. The sapphire won't flex obviously, it's a straight press fit, so the gasket is what maintains the seal.

    There is nothing better than a MIDO Ocean Star GMT Special Edition (blue and red). Ok, it's twice this price but it gives you a lot of watch at that price. A true GMT with a screw down crown and 200M of water resistance, a true divers watch, with an extendible bracelet which needs no tools, the ceramic bezel, the sapphire crystal... with 80 hours of power reserve!!! Twice that of other watches at 10 times its price!!! gosh the sheer quality of this watch makes it look like a million dollars. I feel so proud showing it off and noticing people staring at it, trying to decipher what exactly it is!!

    The SKX style is as iconic as the Submariner. I hope they make it forever. I am completely with you about the crown. It is a complete deal breaker for me. Even if it is NOT dive certified, it just seems negligent to me to make this watch, give the upgraded movement, desperately needed, but discard the screw down crown. Why Seiko. It was already there. No development costs. Just use what you have.

As far as other GMTs near this price range - I have had very good luck with Revue Thommen. Plenty of colors to choose from, Swiss made, run great. Usually these can be found for 699 to 900+ USD.

    I've also modded a lot of skxs in my time, so yeah I understand being burnt out on the general look of an skx and not being super excited with this release to be honest. I don't think it changes the game rather it adds to it. Cuz admittedly The general GMT functionality of the movement is stuff that we've seen many many years already in other Caller GMT from Swiss ETA and their equivalent counterparts. Still I agree that this is a pretty damn good value.
    For not much more, if you know where to look, and you've mentioned the brand, I think Glycine is maybe one of the best value GMTs on the market outside of this new Seiko GMT.
    You could take your chances on a Chinese GMT mevhanical movement, but for maybe under S200, San Martin has quite the offerings.. but, there's that homage territory which not all are down for.
