Is the Seiko SSK021 a true GMT?

Yes. It has a separate 24-hour hand and a 24-hour bezel, so you can track a second time zone alongside local time.

Yes. It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not a dive watch, so skip deep diving.

Does it need a battery?

No. It runs on Seiko's automatic movement, wound by wrist motion, with a power reserve of roughly 41 hours.

How thick and heavy is it?

The case is 13.6 mm thick and the watch weighs about 180 g on the steel bracelet, so it wears large.

Can I change the bracelet?

The listing says the band is not interchangeable, so plan on wearing the stock steel bracelet.

Is it good for a first automatic watch?

Yes. It is affordable, durable and easy to live with, and the GMT hand adds usefulness for travel.

About the Seiko Men's 5 Sports Watch SSK021

The Seiko 5 Sports SSK021 is a men's automatic GMT sports watch with a stainless steel case and bracelet, a Hardlex crystal and 100 m water resistance. Its calling card is the fourth hand for tracking a second time zone, backed by Seiko's in-house 4R34 automatic movement with a 24-jewel, roughly 41-hour power reserve. Luminous hands and markers and a magnified date window keep it legible day to day. It is a chunky 13.6 mm thick and about 180 g on the bracelet, so it wears heavier than a dress watch.

Best forFrequent international travelers who want a second time zone on the wristFirst-time automatic watch buyersEveryday sport and casual wearSwimmers and lake-goers who want 100 m water resistance

Pros

True GMT hand for tracking a home time zone while traveling
