Is the Seiko 5 Sports GMT worth it?

Yes, if you want a mechanical GMT at a modest price. The 4R34 movement, 100 m rating and rotating bezel give real travel utility. At $444 it is at the high end of its recent range, so waiting for a dip could save money.

How does it compare to the standard Seiko 5 Sports?

The GMT adds a 24-hour hand and a 24-hour bezel scale for tracking a second time zone. It is also slightly larger and thicker than the three-hand Seiko 5 Sports models.

What is the power reserve?

About 41 hours on a full wind. That means it will stop if left off the wrist for two days, so a watch winder or a quick reset is needed.

Is 42.5 mm too big for small wrists?

It wears large. The 46 mm lug-to-lug and 13.6 mm thickness suit wrists of roughly 6.5 inches and up; smaller wrists may find it top-heavy.

Is the crystal sapphire?

No. It uses Hardlex, Seiko's hardened mineral glass. It resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire.

What comes in the box?

The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, plus paperwork and a warranty card. Buyers report receiving the warranty card with the watch.

Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports GMT

The Seiko 5 Sports GMT is an automatic sports watch with a true GMT complication: the caliber 4R34 drives a 24-hour hand so you can track a second time zone. The 42.5 mm stainless steel case, bi-directional rotating bezel and 100 m water resistance make it a daily-wear piece with travel utility. At $444 at Juwelier Steiner as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, with four stores listing it new.

Cons

Hardlex crystal picks up scratches

Bezel action feels less refined than premium GMTs
