One of the Best Valued “True” GMT Watches on the Market - Seiko Presage Sharp Edge GMT Review

[@swanbrookstudio]

My Fiance saw me looking at the seiko 140 th sharpe edge videos… and arrived home with it today. It’s a stunning time piece I’m an extremely happy man today ❤️

And yet this watch is absolute crap. Too thick, power reserve indicator is an afterthought, date dial?! Text on 3 o’clock is a terrible looking print. After initial wow because of the dial is a huge letdown.

[@scottscarpato6025]

Purchased both the black dial and the limited edition white dial when this watched was first release. As someone who collects true GMT watches I was egger to get my hands on these Sharp Edge models as I felt the price was too good to pass up. After a year of ownership I have found these watches to be one of the best price to value propositions you can find in the watch world. The GMT movement is reliable and accurate and the watch looks much more expensive then it is, and as an earlier post mentioned this is a watch that will not be stolen off your wrist in LA or London. Due the targeting of tourists wear expensive watches I typically now travel with the black dial Sharp Edge GMT and the Seiko Willard. Both look great, tell time well, are a very good value and do not attract the attention of would be thieves. I would highly recommend the Sharp Edge GMT. One final comment I also own the Mido Ocean Star GMT and it should be noted that it is a very large watch even for my 7.25” wrist. Nice watch but the bracelet I feel is lacking and legibility is just ok. It does have a great power reserve and I is an accurate watch.

[@krispybowgod9656]

Up until I started watched you, I only ever bought fashion brands. It’s night and day, the difference in quality of material, finishing, precision of movement and overall look/feel. Thanks so much for putting out content at this level.

It’s a great watch. I bought the blue dial version as soon as it came out and love it. Well worth the cost. Only down side: bracelet doesn’t have enough micro-adjustments. But the quality and feel of the bracelet is very good. And the watch is very flexible; can be worn in work environments or casual situations. Perfect travel watch.

[@finejustgivemeaname]

i ordered one (blue) off ebay july 17 and just received it today july 20. i paid $761, plus tax and $12.50 shipping. i don't know about it at ~$1500, but for around $850, i love this thing! i think it's beautiful and don't get teddy's issue with the bracelet. i think the bracelet is great. i've never seen a GS spring drive in real life, but i think the 6r64's sweep crushes my tudor black bay 58's, and, of course, all of my other automatics. it's almost like the sweep i imagined on a rolex, back when i was a kid. very very smooth.

[@Anonymous-wt4lx]

Did you buy it new or used? How is the accuracy on it?

[@scotthayes2652]

I absolutely love Seiko watches and own quite a lot of them. I recently bought a Cronos GMT for £280 and I have say that its a fantastic watch regardless of the price. The quality of the assembly, polishing, movement and appearance is amazing. It only lost 20 seconds a week of wearing.

[@seayak]

GMT movements such as the Sellita 330-2 can be configured either way - if the manufacturer opts for the jumping hour hand, then this is done at the expense of a quick-set date, whereas with the "office" type the quick-set date function is preserved at the cost of the jumping hour hand. As a sailor moving at 6 knots I don’t cross time zones very frequently, so I prefer the "office" configuration. In solar navigation, setting the GMT hand to "true" GMT can be used to calculate longitude, and in the modern age it can be used to configure navigational devices where you need to set the GMT offset. I suppose we could call the jumping-hour versions “airplane” GMT’s, and rename the jumping-GMT hand variety “sailor” GMT’s for the same reasons. I do get weary of the term “true GMT”, because it seem to imply that moving from an "office" to a "traveller's" GMT is an "upgrade" that requires a more expensive or elaborate movement. People who rotate between different watches in their collection need to be aware of this tradeoff in functionality. If you don’t wear your "Traveller" GMT watch every day, you will need to get used to the laborious process of winding the time set until the date clicks over to the current one. This is a nuisance as far as I am concerned, but my point is there are tradeoffs either way - you just have to decide which suits your needs best.

[@gstuart0770]

I bought the blue dial, a year ago, when they were first released. After seeing all of them in person, I would recommend buying the blue dial first, then the black second. The black dial is beautiful, but you lose some of the 3-dimension look of the dial, because of the darker color. Overall, a great watch. This was my first watch, before I fell into the watch collecting rabbit-hole. It is a solid choice, and still gets 50% of my wrist time at work, even though it is my cheapest watch (great value). Also, it is a great travel watch. It is nice enough to look impressive, without causing the threat of being stolen. It strikes a really good balance in my collection, and gets a lot of wrist time.

[@zhicaofang2354]

I only tried this one on without buying it, but as long as you could take the larger and thicker dial that would make you feel the watch all the time, as well as the unorthodox 6 o'clock date dial, this is a great everyday watch especially for someone managing cross-time-zone business or travel a lot for a very affordable price. I am also of the opinion that this is more or less targeted at the GMT line of Grand Seiko as an alternative for about 1/5 to 1/6 of the price.

As someone who is actively looking into purchasing a GMT watch, this one has been near the top of my list for a while, among Monta Atlas GMT and Tudor BB GMT. Even though they are all in different price ranges, this Seiko still has some advantages in few areas. Probably the nicest dial of 3 but very underwhelming bracelet, clasp and movement. I do enjoy see through case back in general, but in this case, not much to show off.

[@amgolfer3591]

I found this video because I have been looking at a lot of watches. Some much more expensive and then this one caught my eye. I like that is a gmt that doesn’t have a bulky outer dial. It seems sleek. The dual itself is beautiful I have given thought to jumping up to a grand seiko but it’s 4 times as much. And j don’t see the value. This js a great everyday watch.

[@shonen84]

Very happy with my SPB167. To my surprise, it also wore well when my girlfriend put it on. Very classy. The bracelet is rattly though - at least it’s light and secure. But this really is an oversight for their entire Sharp Edge collection, as you correctly pointed out.

[@vodkawhiskeyrum]

Seiko killing it again. This is expensive for them but it’s pretty clearly worth the price. The dial is insane as it is for all the sharp edge pieces.

[@mikesomerset6338]

Interesting. When considering "true" GMT (independently adjustable hour hand) this is certainly useful for travel. I had one for a good 10yrs+. However, for the last ten years or so I have had dual time for travel which I find to be far better. The GMT hand really comes into it's own when monitoring other time zones from home or office particularly when combined with a rotating 24hr bezel. For this purpose operating the 24hr hand on the first pull is very convenient. Just my opinion.

[@bobmclennan1727]

I've been in the market for a sub-$2k GMT watch recently (the Mido is on my list of Possibles) and the Seiko GMT caught my eye very early on in my search. I love almost everything about it: the case design, the dial texture, the unobtrusive bezel, the hands, the overall value for the price, etc. It's slightly larger than I'd like, but it's still smaller than my Samurai, which never feels like a "big" watch while I'm wearing it. But I cannot stand that date dial. I hate it. And I'm not someone who minds busy dials; the power reserve doesn't bother me, and a date window would be just fine. But I just can't get over the date wheel, and I know if I bought this watch I'd see that damned thing every time I looked at my wrist, and no amount of case finishing or dial texture would be enough to look past it. It's a real shame, but so it goes. I'm sure there are collectors out there who love that look, and more power to them.

[@toddsmith8608]

If this was 39-41 mm I'd be all over it.

[@ericmontgomery7339]

It surprises me that nobody ever talks about the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles GMT. It has the same movement as the Mido Ocean Star GMT, and you can pick one up new for well under $500. It's a dressier watch, but no matter. It's an ETA based jump hour GMT that's dirt cheap. I got mine new on sale for around $350. Bare in mind that Tissot and Mido are both under Swatch. I had to really dig to find that it is, in fact, the same movement. I guess it makes since that they wouldn't be keen to let the world know they are putting the same movement in a MUCH more affordable piece. I must say the quality and finishing on the Tissot is quite good too. If you travel for business, and will be wearing the watch with business casual, it's a great option. It could have been near perfect, but it's 42mm and wears more like 44mm. It won't work well on a small wrist. It just blows my mind that the watch world went crazy when the Ocean Star GMT was introduced because it was a true GMT neat a thousand bucks. Same movement for $300? Crickets!!

[@marcusa3177]

FINALLY a review on the Sharp Edge GMT. The way I see it, the Mido Ocean Star GMT is the sportier, more tool-y side of the coin called the True GMT GADA under USD1500 with this Sharp Edge as the way dressier, a bit sporty side with this really gorgeous dial*. I have the 140th anniversary variant (SPB223J1); despite the rather strange decision on the rehout color** I believe this is the variant to get, then the SPB303 that was just released. If anything the 140th anniversary edition converted me into a white dial person - the Sharp Edge dial is *that* good. Now to find a gorgeous leather strap for this... * apparently the Sharp Edge series has MORE colors in line. All of them beautiful in their own way. ** the dark blue should have been on top IMO, but Seiko is rational, they have Reasons™ why they put the white on top, the blue at the bottom

I was able to put the green dial SEIKO GMT on my wrist about a week ago. I really liked the attention to detail on the indexes. The brushed face and polished sides of the indexes made me want to keep looking at it! I wasn't in LOVE with the green dial but I liked what the watch was going for. I would really love to see the other colors in person as I wanted to see the black and knowing there is a white dial I'd be curious to know if those would look better on my wrist. I am not a guru of watches by any means but I have been thinking more about getting a stylish watch I can travel with and this ticked a few boxes for me in being beautiful to look at and easy to read.

[@cjblazer385]

I don’t know, it is a stunning watch but I have a hard time trusting Seiko these days. I bought a Seiko from the prospex line and had QC issues. Yes there is an alignment issue, but mainly there is a noticeable spec of dust or damage on the actual dial. This can be seen with the naked eye with the right lighting. I first noticed it when I took a picture and went to wipe what I thought was dust on the crystal. The watch was about $650 CAD which for me is not insignificant. Seiko offered to remove the dust or fix whatever was damaged on the face, which involves shipping it across Canada and would take several months. Still undecided if I am going to do all that. Point is this leaves two scenarios for $1000+ watches from Seiko in my opinion. either a watch at this price point has the same QC issue potential with assembly as mine. Or these watches have better QC procedures which then means they could have done better but don’t care about the QC of the $650 watch they sold me. I am not sure which is worse. None of my other less expensive watches have issues like this, not my Orient Ray 2 for less than 1/3 the price, or my $50 Casio Duro. Even my older $100 Seiko SNK which is great. Don’t get me wrong I love this Seiko, it is a very cool watch and probably my favourite I have so far. I also love the variety and history with Seiko, but when I wear my Ray II with no noticeable QC issues, a more accurate movement, same crystal, same steel, is it worth paying 3 times the price for what? What part of that "prospex" price increase was premium? I Just don’t trust Seiko now in the next purchase of my watch as I move up the price point. Which I intend to be around that $1500 point.

[@ludwigheisters8105]

And I don't trust Orient. I have bought a Orient Triton diver, while normal use the crown coming out and I can't put it in again. This was made in Japan... I saw many damaged Triton for sale on ebay, so the quality isn't good... Never a Orient Triton again... But with the Bambino I had no issues...

I got the anniversary white dial. I went online and saw the bracelet is $200. I sometimes immediately buy a second bracelet to beat up daily. Or I remove the bracelet altogether and swap on an elastic paratrooper band, a navy blue one in this case. The watch now feels paper light and looks factory.

How about a micro-brand GMT Venezianico with a blue dial with a Seiko move in 39 MM?

The watch is absolutely beautiful and the movement is quite accurate. As a true GMT, not too much competition in the space. Obviously, the dial is the belle of the ball which differentiates it from the competition. Why wouldn’t they put a screw down crown on this one? normally, one would expect to swim or sit in the hot tub with 100 m of water resistance. However, I simply would never bring a watch without a screw down crown into the water. If the watch had a screw down crown, it would almost be the perfect one watch collection.

It's nearly impossible to read at a glance and also hard to set. However, one of the most crazy things are that I absolutely cannot find extension links. Seiko and seiko dealers have told me I can't get them. How could this be? It's not the greatest bracelet but I really don't want to just walk away from it either. I wonder if anybody here can help me.?

[@MrTKsDaddy]

I feel like I'm the only person who actually LIKES the date sub-dial. I mean, how many times a day do you need to actually look at the date on your wrist anyway? Once and done, surely? Otherwise, I like the way it balances the dial overall.

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

I absolutely love mine! I have the blue one… i wish there was more micro adjust on bracelet and thats it… love everything else. Cool to see your perspective on this model! The limited ones of these are really stunning as well.

[@TheIdk32]

bought one of these as my first watch on chrono24 a couple months ago for $750, couldn't pass up such a beautiful dial for 50% off retail

[@alphamarshan]

Thanks, Teddy! I have that MIDO Ocean Star GMT, unbelievably underrated watch.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Agreed! Mido in general is overlooked. They make a great watch.

[@jakeblargh]

@@TeddyBaldassarre Does this mean Mido video very soon? 👀

[@marielarias550]

Hey Teddy, thanks for the content as always! Better value in your opinion - Mido Oceanstar 200 or Seiko Presage Sharp Edge GMT?

[@andrewlau6299]

brought the white limited version. best value

[@sylinmino]

Interesting that some consider the True GMT complication overrated! For me it's an absolute MUST with a GMT. The quality of life improvements are staggering--reverse date change (also not having to worry about the danger date change zone), instant adjustment for DST and time zone changes without timekeeping hiccups, etc.

[@Wonky-Donkey]

I agree. I have a Certina Action GMT with a jumping hour hand and I love the function. A jumping hour hand would be nice on just a plain 3 hander.

[@999NINE99]

Unsure of the date dial. I think a window would have been cleaner. Just an opinion. Overall a nice offering for the price.

[@MonsieurGlace]

Definitely an entry level front runner. GMT for around £1300 brand new, SEIKO completely diluting the big players with this one.

[@collarsncolours]

I'd be all over this, but the dial is a bit too busy for my tastes

[@hakim12091]

Does the bezel rotate? How many time zones you can set?

[@davidcouzens6287]

I really like the look of these,the bracelet isn't a problem for me,42.2mm is big though......

[@sanastela]

I like the music at the start.

[@luisperona8400]

I own the blue version and I love it! What a beautiful dial!

[@Robert-vw3od]

My final comment on this would be that there is a big hole in the market between £2000 and £3500 (pounds euros or dollars) going forward things are going to be tight for people and this price range is very aspirational.

[@davidmccammon1766]

I really like the GMT they made with the black and blue bezel. Can’t remember which model it was

[@fillo1969]

Love the look! Might need to give a serious look!

[@anandanil8158]

i just got an ad for the mbandf lm sequencial chronoi in this vid and holy hell what are they doin over there

[@erolgermannemmanuel5637]

I am going to give a chance to this opportunity Seiko offers,with their true GMT !

[@entroheat]

I am not aware of above 1500 dollars seikos that are almost 95% of the cheaper offerings, once you go 3000 and up you get into marinemaster then the LX line which is very identical to seikos. Overall seiko delivers a lot of value at that price point.

[@murph8411]

I bought the black one a little while back but I wish the green had been available at the time and for the same price. I would grudge paying the 1600 plus usd price that the retail for here at a lot of stores. Even 1000 pounds or 1250 usd is still a little costly.

[@gen2-x364]

Like the watch. Recently viewed a Seiko SBDC159 and that too has a very nice dial. If a watch is going to have a date complication I’d rather have the placement between the 4-5 position. Or no date at all.

[@Gaaaaaaaaaaad]

Love the blue dial

[@VMIyanks04]

Can’t wait for your review of the new SKX GMT!

[@abraaogomes4866]

Amazing dial, looks like a Grand Seiko!

[@GearedTowardGear1]

The Sharp Edged GMT was my first watch over $1k. I have an 8.25” wrist and this is a great size. A bit smaller than I generally wear, but it really looks great on a larger wrist.

[@amgolfer3591]

I have a small wrist and it looks great on mine as well. All could get away with sporting this GMT.
