I've had the SSK005 orange dial for a few months and I love it. Functionally sufficient, time, GMT hand, and date all very easy to read, wear is OK, and of course the price is quite affordable for a stylish GMT watch. Also the bezel undercuts the 42.5mm dial size quite a bit so it wears more like a 40-41mm watch. My only complaint is the frictionless bezel not having the typical "clicks" to tell that a specific time spot has been set in place, which could make reading a 3rd time zone a bit tricky.

I picked up two of these...one blue and one orange. I like them a lot. Not expensive, and fine to travel with such that if you are robbed, it's not a huge loss like a multi-thousand dollar timepiece would be. I'm an airline pilot, the GMT feature is awesome. You can ALWAYS read GMT on the permanent inner ring, keep your home time-zone on the regular hour/minute hands, and rotate the bezel so the GMT pointer is at local time, and BOOM, you have your local (3rd) time-zone. No need to even touch the crown. Both of mine keep GREAT time so far...my blue one as I type this is only off by two seconds (slow) after 48 hours. I agree that I wish the bezel was a click-bezel, and a screw-down crown would be awesome. I don't care about the caller vs. traveller GMT, as with the permanent GMT ring inside the watch and three time-zones (most GMT watches can only track two) it meets my needs as a world traveller.

I am sure these take a lot of effort, but I would love to see one or two of these week on the wrist videos every month. They're always the perfect length too. As for the Seiko SSK GMT, this is a great release by Seiko. I personally love the blue/black, but this one is so great as well. For the bold among us, the orange/gold is an option. I have even seen these at solid discounts/on sale recently, which makes these an even better value. "Office" GMTs have their place, and I can certainly use one with my job.

I just bought the Seiko SSK001 black face GMT. It is a good watch with one terrible weakness which I hated. Its bezel is very poorly designed as it turns very easily which makes this GMT watch useless. Seiko made a huge mistake by NOT making the bezel a ratcheted design so it will not move (turn) so easily and mess you up. I returned this poor and useless Seiko after just owning for one day. Seiko must fix this terrible mistake as its bezel friction is light and turns very easily. What was Seiko thinking when they designed this promising watch? Just terrible and stupid.

I've never understood why the GMT watch function works on a 24 hour basis. Yes, I know that the concept of GMT itself is a 24-hour one, amd mechanically it's very clever, but if you're overseas and you have a 12-hour secondary reading, you pretty much know whether you're AM or PM so you don't need to be thinking in 24 hours scale and rememberingthat every halfhour on the dial is really an hour . Looking at a second ring which is essentially running on a different scale to the way you read your normal time is harder than just adding or subtracting the time difference. What I think DOES work better is a 12-hour rotatable bezel which can show you the local time at a glance. Having said all that, I will also say that I love Seiko and it's a goodlooking watch.

I just don't get the GMT function. Even if I were a airline pilot I'd not seen in more usable than a timer. your phone with timezones much better for tracking time at home, it even tells you the time at home if you just press the power button. And the bezzle is just a useless gimmick most the time, or if you staying somewhere for a longer period that is a different zone you just do the most basic addition or subtraction in a second and it makes the GMT obsolete. I travel a few times a year and I'd always pick a normal diver bezzle over a GMT. So can someone enlighten me, if I am missing something?

I have multiple time zones displayed with atomic accuracy on the home screen of my phone, along with day, date and weather. So with everyone owning a smartphone, traditional watches today are little more than functional jewelry. divers tend to strap on a dive computer unless they're in for some Cousteau-era nostalgia. I'd say go with whatever design rocks your world, as long as it keeps good time anything else is just a fidget spinner distraction.
