I've admired this particularly watch for a long time convincing myself that I'm more of a " tool watch" guy. Then I purchased a Grand Seiko quartz 37mm heritage model and was amazed by the quality of the finishing. This is certainly on my radar now as its still relatively affordable.
Great video, thanks for the review

That grand Seiko is way nicer than the Rolex

[AliasEveWatches]

Great job with the narration! You really stepped it up in this video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[trebm]

you sir are a strap master. I've never seen a review on a single watch with so much variety

Great review! This was the first grand seiko that really spoke to me. And when I was able to put one in wrist at an AD it looked even more amazing! Haven't pulled the trigger yet but evey time I see it, it's back to top of the list. My experience with the AD probably stopped me from buying it back then as she was a bit of a snob and said the watch didn't suit me. And tried to push other models that didn't grab my attention and were more expensive. I'll go to a different AD at some point and revisit it. Thanks for the great video and reminder of a awesome timepiece!
Cheers

I have the 10th anniversary edition of this watch, SBGM031, and I agree with everything you said. It's an easy watch to connect with. It really grows on you.

Stunning piece! Like you, I love that beautiful blue GMT hand. Hope to own a GS someday…I gravitate towards the spring drive….😎

[BrandonMenancio]

Haha the affordable housing comment and funny voiceover! Thanks for the shout out too. Please enjoy the GS as I much I still do! 👍👍👍

Never considered Seiko. A couple of days ago (12-14-23) Shohei Ohtani wore this watch at the press conference with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They just signed him to a 10 year, $700M contract. He already makes roughly $50M per year in endorsements and I believe Seiko is one company he endorses. So this global mega susperstar chose to wear this watch. It caught my attention.

This Grand Seiko GMT has always drawn me in, something about the dial just catches my interest! Great video mate, this one is on my radar after watching your video, but I've got a growing list of pickups! This hobby of ours is something else huh?!

Congrats on the explorer bud! And personally I love GS they're just at another level.

[engineer_wannabe]

My heart sank a bit when I saw the title, but I'm glad you still love the watch haha :)
Great review Miguel!

[MyAffordableWatchCollection]

Great video Miguel, love this piece and can't wait for your review of the Explorer!

[AlastairMcDonnell]

Recently bought this, partly on the back of your review. I was not disappointed, a beautiful watch, great proportions and fantastic finishing.

[kevinranders]

I Just picked it up yesterday. I was kind of the same boat. When I knew I was going to buy my first GS, I ultimately end up going with the Cherry Blossom. I could not put it out of my mind though so yesterday, 2 months after my cherry blossom, I picked this one up. Now ordering some custom straps.

I love this Grand Seiko and thought long and hard about it. In the end I went with the SBGE271. Which has a generally similar aesthetic as a GMT in the elegance collection. But it has 100m water resistance, spring drive, comes on a bracelet, and has a more versatile style that can be either sporty or more of a dress watch.

That said, that ivory dial is still amazing. And I would love to have the SBGM221 as an alternative. But you can't have everything.

[mracekproductions]

Nice review my friend. Glad you’re enjoying it after our chats and massive congrats on the Explorer!

[shawnlavigne]

Kinda what I'm looking for, not a dress watch, not a sports watch, something in between that is well made and gorgeous to look at.

[RossWristWatchLove]

Great looking watch bro and dope video! One ☝️ love ❤️

[frankmirandosr]

It’s absolutely a stunner of a Watch, last few years I have been Collecting some GMT Watch’s. This watch would be a great addition to my collection. 30 meter WR is good enough for me. I jump in a pool or go for dip at the beach. I’m not Deep Sea Diving LOL!! Very nice video. I love a blue strap on this watch, thanks for Sharing
