Do you agree with my assessment? Not only are they going to sell a bucket load of these, but the movement is going to be in EVERYTHING, literally everything, assuming they pump them out of the Malaysian factory fast enough. The price is optimistic, but I actually really like the bezel insert and the jubilee. Now, roll on the Helm Vanuatu Titanium GMT..... Cheers, Jody

Go for the flat sapphire, Jody. That's where I think 90% of modders go wrong. Double-domed doesn't suit the profile of the skx and family, and it just makes the watch even thicker. You can thank me later 🙏😉

I think you're right about the fallout for the microbrand market more than this watch's own appeal. I find it an example of Seiko flaunting cheapness and can think of better ways to spend my money. Now, a Samurai or Monster GMT? That's a different story! Cheers!

I’m tempted to buy it and mod it but I might wait to see what the micro brands come out with. I’m thinking Marc at Long Island Watch would make a lot of varieties and one of them would probably be what I would mod it into anyway. The biggest thing I want is a red and black bezel a la the Tudor Black Bay.

Love my Blueberry! Running really accurately too… +20s over a week… pretty good I’d say. Not a lover of the bezel insert though. The daylight half is either black or a garish blue depending on angle, and I’ve never been a lover of the prominent polished bevel on the crystal. A matched pair of no-bevel domed sapphire and Batman ceramic bezel insert are on the way from DLW as we speak!

I do not have any issues with Hardlex, my Sumo is from May 2014 and when I 1st got the watch I immediately purchased a double dome sapphire for it. Fast forward years later and the Sumo's hardlex still looks great and I ended up using the sapphire on an Urchin mod. I do not yet own a 5KX, I tried to pull the trigger on an SRPG47 and thought that with an LE of 11,000 watches I had some time, and the clock ran out in a matter of months. Late to the party again. My older son is a US Merchant Marine officer and I am very much looking forward to one of these watches. The really cool aspect is that if I want a screw crown, no problem, sapphire? no problem, signed crown? no problem and i will wager it uses a standard 4r winding stem. My hat is off to Seiko again! Thanks Jodi, as always, great review. Batman for me please and I am going to be patient, lol.

Great looking watch, but with some features that had shortcuts, like the friction bezel rather than a full clicking bi- directional bezel. But again, for the price, this is an action packed watch. Definitely worth the value for the price range...it's a welcomed entry.

While I'm definitely waiting for microbrands to get this and put out better/more affordable offerings, this is definitely a very nice looking piece. For those willing to pay extra to mod it, why not replace the gmt bezel with a timing/dive style one? You already have the 24 hour chapter ring.... That would give you loads of functionality! That's what I'm hoping someone does (Long Island Watch? Zelos??) when Seiko starts selling the movement.

I’ve never really liked Seiko styling and couldn’t justify the price vs. a high spec micro or even a highly modded Orient mako/ray II. Thanks in part to your reviews, my collection of affordable watches has grown considerably in the last few months. I have a couple Steeldives, 4 or 5 different Pagani homages that I genuinely enjoy and I went on an Orient kick a while back and ended up with 5 of those, all with crystal, bezel/insert and bracelet/strap mods that kept me occupied while recovering from an injury. My latest horological itch has come in the form of type-B fliegers after getting beaten on an eBay auction on a San Martin SN030. I know I should have waited for the sale but I had to scratch the itch so I ended up buying a Steeldive SD1940 on the upgraded bracelet that was on sale right then that still has not arrived. After doing a little more research I decided that one wouldn’t be enough and I needed ‘just one more flieger’ so I have an Escapement Time PT5000 (last one available on AliExpress Black Friday sale) on the way and I can’t wait to get it on wrist to see if I like it as much in real life as I did in pictures and video reviews. I may gift or return the Steeldive but I have a really hard time letting go of watches, even ones I don’t wear because I MIGHT want to wear it one day. It’s a sickness, Dr. Jody, do you know a cure? 😂 Thanks for the great reviews!

Many 5kx mods were GMT mods. Some okay-ish with 12h bezel. That is usable, but most were with 24h bezels and there were no gmt hand. So, Seiko saw the opportunity, and I know this model will sell like hot cakes! And the best of all, there is so many 24h bezel inserts in the mod market. Hit the ceramics, and you have a winner, right there!

Great review! That's the first Seiko that's made me want to get my credit card out of my wallet for at least 5 years, maybe longer. Even spending $100 more to get it "perfect" it's still a bargain and will still say Seiko on the dial. And I don't have an orange watch at the moment either.

Good after market jubilee bracelets are not easy to find. I currently wear my Champagne Alpinist (SPB123J) on a jubie from Parnis, not because it is good and not because it is cheap. But because its 'okay'; at ~ 3.2mm depth it suits the case perfectly asnd isn't overly weighty - pkus it tapers to just under 16mm. There's probably something better available but after settling on jubilee #3, throwing more $ at a sub $1k watch is...inefficient.

Sure but as you pointed out Jody it's a caller (office) GMT ...if you are using this to track on OS time zone at home it's next to useless in rotation if the watch winds down... that's why I bought the other one you reviewed.. the Timex Quartz for half the price, so this will all just depend what you are buying it for (travel vs second time zone tracking)

The Long Island Watch GMTs that Marc has foreshadowed are very appealing. It will be interesting to see what they will look like. I also think that a Phoibos Eagle Ray GMT containing the NH 34 movement would have great appeal to affordable watch collectors - the question is will the current Eagle Ray GMT / Eagle Ray cases be easily adaptable to the NH34? If so, I very much look forward to seeing those offerings from Phoibos.

I'm an admitted Seiko fanboi. I have other watches, 2 Tag Heuers, a Tudor and an Omega, but I usually wear one of my Seikos. I'm on the waitlist at my local Seiko AD for one of these, he says I should have it at the end of the month. I never thought I would be on the waitlist for a Seiko 5. I also plan on buying an NH34 movement and building a GMT with it. It's only a matter of time before the modding community starts producing 24h chapter rings, they already produce everything else needed to build a good looking GMT. I'm thrilled that there will be budget GMTs with a solid movements for under $500. I know there are already budget GMTs on Aliexpress, but I haven't had a lot of luck with Chinese movements. Seiko movements are not the most accurate, but from my experience, they are robust. I have a 7002 diver that I bought in 1990 that is still plugging along.

I myself think that the reason why seiko only has hardlex crystals on their watches is that they know that a sapphire crystal will shatter if it gets a big impact against a hard object. The hardlex crystal is a lot more durable than a sapphire one and could end up with scratches and not much else. However having said all that if the Chinese microbrand companies can supply us with sapphire crystals on their watches then why can't seiko?.

A Great review Jody, had mine for a few months now and I love it for it's classic design and 'usability', but I do think that Seiko missed a Very BIG trick by not having something that'd be effectively an 'SKX Diver' with a GMT complication/function to sit between the Seiko 5 and ProSpex range with an appropriate price?

Think your comments about the movement getting into other brands might in the end be the really exciting outcome for us watch nerds. Because I’m certainly not sellling my skx to get this one becaue the GMT hand isn’t enough reason to as there is no other real advantage or progress made with the rest of the watch.

I'm chomping at the bit to get the black and blue one, but I'm going to try my best and wait a year or so when prices have settled down.

I would replace the bezel insert to a aluminium pepsi timing bezel and the crystal to sapphire, the this would be a perfect everyday watch for under 500+mods, since I do use the GMT complication

The Seikos I have most experience of 7S26 and NH36 both have similarly loose specs and it's easy to get them to +5s area, no excuse for Seiko to fob you off with those numbers at the price they are charging, with hardlex!

I can't see seiko discarding hardlex any time soon unfortunately. If they bit the bullet and dumped hardlex for sapphire they'd never look back! But none of us are holding our breath about that one!.

@@robertlindo8058 Its bizarre, I picked up a slightly domed sapphire crystal for my snk805 and it's transformed it. Looking at it next to the 809 and 803, I'm looking for more crystals at a good price. Seiko could do that for very little money considering the economy of scale they would have

if the Chinese microbrand companies can supply us with homage watches fitted with sapphire crystals it's high time that seiko got its finger out and dumped hardlex for sapphire.!

As has been said, the GMT complication is as important as it's ever been - and for different reasons than it was initially important. The prospect of boutique brands using this movement in exciting and affordable watches is a good thing for the global village we all inhabit.

I had a feeling when you said to stay tuned for the weekend! Finally, a budget auto Seiko GMT movement! This will be a game changer for the budget and micro brand scene and I reckon Seiko will win big from this.

At close to 900 AUD, you could almost get a Steinhart GMT with an ETA or Sellita movement.

The specs are actually impressive for the price. And like.you said, the implications are very tantalizing!

There are already a few sites that are selling these for around 350 usd. I'm very excited to finally be able to get a quality gmt at an affordable price.

Of course these movements are unregulated hence the wide accuracy margins but I've had massive success self regulating two 4r36 movements and both are now running to within a few sends per 24 hours.
