I have a 8.5 inch wrist so this Seiko is just right for me. I have had my eyes on GS for the last year. Thanks for the review.

It's certainly distinctive, no chance of mistaking it for anything else....and you know its going to be solid and reliable. I agree, I like the power reserve indicator & wish more watches featured it (more useful than a date imho) Good choice as a Brave Beater. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

Really cool dial with that PR indicator, but the rest of the dial I consider it, still, too empty. Yup, definitely a BB :) Cheers, Steve!

Seeing the four of them lined up (skx, marian, gs sd and the darth) made me realize (once again) that Seiko manages - starting the the same starting point/origin (more or less) - to create such unique and full of personality individual pieces that can individually stand alone as icons. Amazing brand!

And I do follow your lead on this one, I think they are all niched and loved by different audiences because they have different personalities and purposes in a way. Still I will make a video on how to cheat a seiko collection by getting directly the marine master :D

I hate you,,, this is actually the only watch in the world, that I'd rather have, than my Omega smp 300,, I really wish, you hadn't shown me this,,,, I'm such a fan of the spring drive, and literally didn't know, they did a diver like this,,,... OMG, that sweeping seconds hand, is sheer perfection,, This is the number one brave beater, imho.. All the best Andrei,, (now I'm fed up, !!! Lol )

:)))))))) good one John, I almost agree, I still think the SMP is the better one. judging from the size perspective. from the finish perspective, a fresh / new GS can beat any watch.

The most amazing thing is that all these watch manufacturers can’t get it through their heads that the 40mm sizing used in the 60’s was spot on then, and now.
