Seiko 5 GMT is pretty cool :) Mechanical GMT UNDER $500! 

Oh no! James told me I sound snobby in some parts. IM SO SORRY!!!! I never meant to sound snobby if I do at all in his! 😭😭😭 he said when I said “it’s a $500 what do you expect?” RE: the movement and not expecting as much from the movement. I didn’t mean to sound like “PFFT! Only $500!!” But just in case anyone tried to slag off the movement, I was trying to be like “cmon! For the money! This is great! What do you expect for $500?!” BUT IM SO SORRY IF THIS READ WRONG!!!! 😭💕💕💕💕✨✨✨😂💕💕💕💕 sometimes I sound snobby and I don’t mean to. I think it’s my stupid accent!

Seiko is more important to many more people than Patek Phillipe in terms of how millions upon millions of people experience horology. The more you learn about the Seiko narrative, the more admiration one develops for the brand. The point is to consider how useful and endearing many even moderately priced Seiko references are. As far as the OEM bracelets are concerned, they are over maligned. However, any OEM strap and bracelet issues are readily remedied by a host of specialty suppliers like Uncle Seiko who offer straps and bracelets which elevate the Seiko watch experience to an amazingly high level of satisfaction.

Hi Britt, FYI the original 5 elements that made up the original Seiko 5 watches are as follows: an automatic movement, day-date display at the three o'clock position, water resistance, a recessed crown , and a case and bracelet built for durability. I hope that helps 😀

You always crack me up. That’s why I have to watch everything you do , plus you do a spectacular job! Thank you

Seiko is the glock of the mechanical watch world

Even though Seiko tends to get a lot of flack I would say they are my overall favorite watch brand. So many great watches in their line up. The Turtle, the Alpinist, the SNK, etc. etc. Yeah, they make sacrifices in some areas in order to keep the costs down, but that is also part of their charm for sure. But hey, that's me!

I picked up one of these a few weeks ago, and I've loved wearing it! The fact a mechanical GMT movement from a reliable company is available for sub $500 is definitely going to open the door to some cool stuff from microbrands who also use this movement.

The Seiko SKX was my gateway drug into the whole watch world. So I am extra fond of these entry level pieces. And a GMT sub 500usd is a great offer. I reviewed all three of them recently and I must say I like em, great pieces for what they are. Thanks for the video, interesting to hear your opinion as well and we shared a lot of the same impressions and thoughts! 🙏🏼

Great show WG! Well balanced review!!

I just got the Blueberry version. It’ll be my travel companion where I won’t sweat it if I damage, or even lose it. Yet, it’s stylish, reliable, and most of all, it makes me feel good which is what it’s all about.

I found your channel through the teddy video. Glad I did! I just ordered this watch can’t wait to get. It’s giving me the vibes I got when I first started collecting :)

Love this watch, you get exactly what you pay for and it works great and looks good specially the blue one. Thank you Ms. Pearce for another great video.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so much with a RU-vid video presentation - great fun, just brilliant! (I've subscribed).

This review cracked me up! Well done Britt! From TO with love!

OMG slurping on the coffee "not copying Adrian" killed me 🤣🤣

My NH34/4R34 runs -1s a Day when face up and -3s on average during 5/7 daily wear. When regulated and well oiled, it clearly performs really well

Excellent Stuff as usual Britt! Thanks for making my watch look so beautiful! :D

Thanks for the video, which dial color do you think looks better blue or black?

The mug made my day 😂 The watch looks stunning 😍

I recently got one of these new Seiko 5's (SRPD71) but not the GMT. I was actually surprised that I liked it but it is a good watch. I think the non clicking bezel would be a big turn off for me on this one, other that that, looks really solid. Thanks for sharing, have a great week. -David

Great video. You always crack me up! Where can you get the nato you featured from as I thought it looked good with this watch?

Banished to the garage, heh? Your temporary studio is the bomb, looks very nice! Seiko was my first good watch, received one when I graduated law school ages ago from my parents. Still have it for sentimental purposes. I like the looks of this GMT, but since I plan to actually travel, I will wait for a true GMT. Caller GMTs are great if you stay in one place. Love seeing how popular you have become - wish you nothing but continued success (I've been with you since the start of your channel). Cheers!

Your bright personality really set you apart fm other watch reviews. Really entertaining...

Congrats on 30k!!! 🙌🏼

They are gorgeous in person. I got the Blueberry version yesterday. I also ordered an Oyster bracelet for it and I have a blue rubber strap for it too.

Hi Britt....just discovered your site...love it...I am wondering how I got to do without you all these watches ago?!?! Keep them coming girl...good job

thanks for the vid, lots of great shots of the watch! convinced me to buy one :) do you by chance have the link to the nato strap? looks great

Hey Britt, Just found your channel, the video's amazing!!! This or Tissot seastar? What would you choose & why? I'd really like to know.

My watch box has some luxury and professional watches. One time I ordered my first Seiko, later I bough another one, and recently I managed to buy me a long time sought after SKX007. Believe it or not, when opening the box in the mornings at home when not working, I am more often pulling out one of the seikos than the Swiss ones. They are great watches when fitted with the right straps/bracelets.

Never apologise for loving Seiko, the most manufacture manufacturer ever. BTW, what makes a Seiko 5 a 5 is adherence to the five principles: (from Hodinkee) There were 5 traits every Seiko 5 had: an automatic movement, a day/date window, significant water resistance for sporting activities, a crown at 4 o'clock, and durable case and bracelet(or strap).

This is driving me crazy youtube is hiding your videos from me and I seem to always be late to the videos, I love Seiko it's for sure my fav watch brand hands down, glad to see you make a video on the Seiko5 G.M.T.. You didn't come off snobby, I don't think you did anyway don't over think Britt good video again see you next time.

5.9” and rocking the blueberry, this watch is a must get in my opinion 😍

Nice watch although I’ve never been a fan of the cyclops lens. I’m probably going to add an SPB143 to my collection. I encourage you to look up on it as I’m convinced the proportions would also be better for your wrist. Going for a Seiko bong hit next week to check it out at AD 🥴

I find that the placement of the winder, thickness of the case, and the "coin style " bezel can pretty much tell you it's a Seiko. (Or a copy) And the comparison to mac and cheese to be very cute.

Great content, thank you Britt 🖐

I like it, and I liked your video as usual ! Thx for sharing your opinion! :)

Seiko & citizen been stepping it up lately

Looks great Britt. Very tempting

Beautiful watch and great value from Seiko. Great video, thanks 😊

The hardlex bezel insert is a game changer

As usual, you outdid yourself Gringa, fantastic video!

The greatest thing about Seiko is that it is not a Swiss wannabe. In every watch category they have exceptional and unique design. In so far as quality is concerned match the price of a Seiko with any Swiss counterpart and it would be equal or better.

Great review. Enjoyed it.

I’ve always appreciated that the metric system has buttload as the building block unit of measurement Buttloads of seconds is inception level measurement within a measurement!

I have one, the blue one :) I looooove your watch videos, so funy and adorable, thank you for lighting up my day :)

Hi Britt - how did you guys make the money that you needed to buy some of the pieces in your collection? (If that's not too personal a question to ask).

Love love love ya, great humor and video. My wife has watched this real twice. Cheers

“Sorry moon phase“ What a line 😂

Watching this video, Britt, I still can´t believe how people can pay 260$ or more for a Plasticswatchgarbage.

The Seiko Jubilee style bracelet happens to be very comfortable, as long as it's adjusted properly

It's not a sbge275 for sure, BUT I picked this watch up 2 weeks ago and I have been wearing it every day since. It's really nice and I don't feel like I am going to get killed for it in the city. You know it's pretty sad when I wish the watch market prices would keep going down so I can feel comfortable wearing my Pepsi without feeling like a target or worrying that every ding is going to knock 5k off the price. We need this watch right now more than ever:). Thanks for the amazing content!

Your innuendos made me laugh. I'm in( to see and hear what's next). You had fun making your presentation and I was intertained. Subscribed.

Your review made me buy one. And im loving it. Just hope it can handle the everyday abuses.🤞🏼

Seiko is just such an endearing watch brand for me

Very good 😊 I like your sense of humour. That mug 😂

Aware of the faults but there will always be a special place in my heart for Seiko and their rich history. Believe it or not, that bracelet is actually a BIG improvement over the SKX and 5KX bracelets, which have hollow links and end links 😂😂

Every time you make a Seiko video you sound closer and closer to getting one so I'm keeping some champagne on hand so I can pop it when you make a video announcing you've pulled the trigger on one. I personally prefer Seiko/Grand Seiko but understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. However, having one in your collection certainly won't hurt!

What do you think the batter between 001 vs 003 to wearable?

Nice and fun review, greetings from México

were can i buy this watch?? i dont see it in usa seiko website?

I like the flaccid bracelet on my Grand Seiko. When you put it on, it just disappears. It's very comfortable, very invisible

Long, hard, or flaccid…bracelets that is. You just convinced me that this might be my perfect travel watch.

Wow! That’s a really nice watch! Especially on that nato strap, great review, thank you

San Martin SN015 GMT has entered the chat LOL. Higher specs, and around $100 + dollars less in cost. It has a 4hz (ETA clone) movement, sapphire crystal, screw down crown, 200M water resistance, better overall finish of case and jubilee bracelet (with screws not pins), bi-direction bezel with click, anti reflective coating, super bright lume on dial AND bezel... I feel like there is more, but you get the idea.

Nice one! I like my orange seiko5 gmt too👍🏼

There are so many fantastic watches for under 2000. I’m done paying big for one, when I can buy and support the up and coming micro brands with real people behind them. Love the Seiko ,William Wood, Weiss, Studio Underdogs of the world. Thanks Gringa

Can I know the brand of that nato? Lovely style with the black gmt

I own a Seiko king Samurai and I am not super impressed. Misaligned bezel that is too stiff to turn although the action is good. I will probably sell it... I might consider the GMT if the price drops a little. I am also a Canadian and it is a little expensive here... Great video. Your channel is really looking professional now...

I too only wear Swiss made but do like this Seiko watch. I have a 43 mm Tag Hauer Batman GMT Aquaracer.

I have a blue GMT shaped hole in my collection that is just waiting for these to become more readily available here in the states. I'm also curious if the new bracelet is as nice as the one I got from Uncle Seiko and put on my dressKX. I doubt it, but it'll be fun to find out.

I literally LOL’d when I saw your “merch” 😂

I didn't think you were being snobby; just funny and irreverent. I'm interested in checking out the Seiko 5 GMT and I was happy to see you do a video on them. I'm also interested in seeing what other watches come out with that 4R34 movement. It's got to be better than the Mingzhu DG5833. While I have no practical use for a GMT, I think it's a cool feature. Thanks again for another great video.

I have the orange version. It’s been a fun summer watch. Also, I’m ready for the Britt & Pearce Merch.

The bezel works with the GMT hand as your second time zone, day / night.

love the Seiko GMT and the W.Papi's clapperboard setups lol

I love you show. I love you for doing it ! :)

I have the SSK005 (the orange one) and I am really enjoying it. it has also gotten me a few compliments and I like the way it looks. It's a lot of bang for your buck.

Great looking watch, with gorgeous bezel insert that keeps you Looking at it at different angles. As silent as a Rolex GMT, BUT with the more pronounced GMT hand. I usually stick with the proprietary bracelet or a strap, but that nato swap out looks amazing. The 4R engine is good enough and dependable. I'd like to see it with a less Sekio rounded case and with a fully brushed Samurai style set up.

I feel like we need a whole video of watch brands and their restaurant equivalents.

Love mine. Great review

That’s actually a really cool watch & distinctly Seiko. It’s not trying to be a GMT Master & I like that!

I haven’t even watched the video just yet, but I know is gonna be awesome! (I’m about to get this piece btw 😍) Hey Gringa, you rule! 👊✨ EDIT: I would totally buy a “BRITT & PEARCE” handmade sticker for my coffee mug ☕️ 🤣

an idea for future content, what watch to buy as a present for a non watch partner, male and female version..

Love this model on NATO strap love you so much WG. Love Seiko

It's such tempting Seiko to buy. The name says it all. The Seiko 5 GMT (Got your Money Taken)!

Oh my god Britt… 1- you actually made me almost want a normal Seiko and 2- the script was awesome 😂👏👏👏

The intro was hiarious! :D

Hey Brit, just wondering if you could do review on quartz seiko watches? I think it would be cool.

Dang Gringa, I was just looking at GMT 5…have to get one

Seiko 5 is my gateway into watch

Hi good morning Britt thanks for the video about the gmt I’m going to buy the black one 👍

Picking one up tomorrow

yeah..I've been hitting that Seiko bong pretty hard myself. Not this GMT, but an older SUN023 was my 1st hit.

Looks cool, love Seiko I have the sbbn015 tuna in my collection 🔥.

I've had the blueberry about a year or so. I haven't worn it much until just recently and am really beginning to enjoy it. Imo the bracelet is a step above the usual Seiko offerings and the half blue bezel looks great.

The Ivy is to food as Hublot is to watches!🤣

Loving my orange dial Seiko 5 GMT 🍊

Please your opinion on the Rado skeleton ceramic and is it worth the coin .

I was going to say I thought it would be too big for my 6.25" wrist, but it actually looked great on your smaller wrist!

i like the jingly jangly bracelets bc they comfy on wrist.
