Great review, I currently don’t have a GMT in my collection. I moved out of my country and sold off most of my collection. I am beginning to get my collection going again here in Taiwan. I have been looking at the Monta GMT. You are really getting good at these watch reviews really fast I think it’s your calling in life you are a natural.

I own this watch and absolutely love this watch . I changed the clasp out for the Marine Master clasp and it’s perfect 👍🏻 I also own the SKX009 and that’s a Seiko legend and icon . This new SSK003 blueberry will be a legendary and iconic watch in the future as well.

I’ve been thinking of buying one for a while now, I just can’t decide between the black or blue version, I need to see both in the store together. I refuse to pay the silly amount for the SKX so this will fit nice in my collection. I have only found your channel today and a great little channel you have. Look forward to seeing the channel grow 👍😀

This is my holiday watch. Works well on a Nato too (especially in cities like London.) I also have the Strapcode Super O-boyer "Oyster" bracelet for that extra tool versatility. The good thing is that you won't fear being robbed of your Seiko whilst on your travels. Rolex GMTs are awesome, but not safe to wear during global travels. This watch is not too expensive, 100m water resistant, very versatile (beach and going out somewhere nice). It is the ultimate travel watch.

Hi, thx for the video, I brought this SSK003 in June 2023, just after the Longines Zulu time brought in May 2023. Hence, 4 weeks ago, I also brought the Longines HydroConquest GMT , I am crazy about GMT. As you said, this SSK003 or else SSKXXX series is a must have watch. Funny, I have the SKX011 brought 10 years ago, still work fine. The Seiko toughness is unbelievable. Even in their low price series.

After watching your earlier review of the SNK803, I decided to get one. Since it was discontinued, it cost a lot more than what is was 1-2 years ago. I ended up getting the SRPJ87K1F, which is the replacement of the SNK803. Although it no longer has a sand blasted finish on the case and the red tip second hand, it does seem to be a more refine watch. As for this Seiko GMT, its an affordable GMT from a brand that has the history. Sure, other micro brands may give better bang for the buck, but it won't have the heritage of the SKX of which it is based on. If you don't value that, than for sure, get a micro brand GMT instead.
@ashleytee
@ashleytee 11 месяцев назад
I absolutely agree with you about the SRPJ87K1F. It's a fantastic upgrade, especially given the price increase for the SNK803. I probably would have done the same. Also, your point about micro brands is spot on. While they offer compelling options, I also see the value in the heritage that comes with established brands like Seiko. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing review Ashley! I am waiting for the very same blueberry one (aka Batman). Just a comment: I think that the lack of steps or "clicks" in the bezel is due to the necessity in GMT to have bidirectional movement (for + or - time zone switch), rather than unidirectional as for diving watches. People complaining are probably too much addicted to SKX?

Seiko makes excellent and reliable movements. Which is why I buy, at a FRACTION of Seiko's price, watches from San Martin, Cronos, SteelDive, or Addiesdive. Each with a Seiko instruments (SI) movement (e.g. NH35, NH36, etc). As for the Seiko 5 Sports GMT, a great watch by the way...consider the STEELDIVE SD1994 V2 GMT for ~$150. OK, the SteelDive is a bit heavier that the Seiko, by about 20 grams. Why, might you ask? Well, the SteelDive uses a solid case back (as opposed to an exhibition caseback), thicker sapphire crystal, and a MILLED clasp (as opposed to Seiko's stamped metal clasp). Oh...and that solid caseback on the SteelDive is probably is related to its 200M-rated depth resistance, as opposed to Seiko's 100M. Of course, the lumed bezel on the SteelDive is also practical for a GMT. There is that. I do prefer the dial markers and hi polished hands on the Seiko.
@brianmsahin
@brianmsahin 11 месяцев назад
Nice video. Just subscribed! I'm a Seiko fan myself and the problem for me is similar. Hardlex for the price and I would worry that the friction bezel will get loose over time. There is another con for the price. Yes, the bracelet is better than older Seiko 5's BUT a pressed clasp isn't really acceptable for the price. I have many Seiko's and one of the new ones, the blue dial SRPD51 I got on a Nato, but changed to a matching hand made blue leather, it looks great!. I'm more tempted by some of the microbrands using the NH34. Similar price but with sapphire, clicky bi-directional bezels and better bracelets. As for travel and office GMT, I travel a lot between Istanbul and Jakarta for business and really there is absolutely no practical difference between the two. You're not getting a better GMT if you pay big bucks for the travel. They both do exactly the same thing, the only difference is the set up. It's not a con at all.

Nice overview (among lots of overviews) of the 5 Sports GMT. (I have the blue 003 version.) My only minor quibble is over the "true" GMT designation: both "traveler" and "office/caller? GMTs are "true" in that they allow the wearer to easily track a second time zone, the only difference being in which hand (hour hand or GMT hand) gets changed by the wearer. Which type is "better" depends on whether you're an itinerant traveler, or someone who doesn't hop across time zones frequently but still has a need or desire to keep track of a second time zone with minimum fuss. Keep up the great work!

Handlex crystal, the rattle in the bracelet and quality quirks. These are the charms of Seiko. It gives it character. Kinda of like a handsome guy who is disheveled, effortlessly cool not trying too hard and walks around with a fuck-you attitude. These Seiko’s are for those in the know; kinda of like if-you-know-you-know type of attitude. I love a cheap Seiko. This GMT is a gem. Discovering this is what makes watch collecting fun. Because anyone can appreciate a high-end expensive watch.

I agree it continues to baffle me why they won’t put sapphire in a watch in this price range. I’d even pay a bit more. Unfortunately it’s a dealbreaker for many Seiko watches.

I suppose for in house reasons they want to continue production and innovation by using their own glass. It is a bit expensive to not have the industry standard but I don't mind since hardlex is more naturally clear than Sapphire If you want to pay more you could maybe buy it and have the crystal changed to a sapphire one for 50-100$

Because they have Grand Seiko and in between premium watches that they want you to move up to instead. Purely tiered product offerings for more $$$$!

I had no use for a second time zone in the 80's and for me nothing's changed. All these 4 hand watches show us how the few movement manufacturers that exist control the wristwatch industry!

Longines was the first that came with a GMT watch in 1908... My best watch complication is a date followed by a chronograph.... If you look at micro brands and don't care about history, there are a few with way better specs than the Seiko. Interesting review😀

I have this exact watch. It looks way better in person. The hardlex bezel makes the watch look more luxurious than the price indicates. Right now here in the US this watch is discounted closer to $350. That is a bargain for a GMT.
