Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports GMT SKX Automatic Blueberry Dial Silver Steel Strap Watch For Men SSK003K1

The Seiko 5 Sports GMT SKX SSK003 is an automatic GMT sports watch with a blue dial, a two-tone 24-hour bezel and a five-piece-link 'beads of rice' steel bracelet. It carries the SKX lineage: 100 m water resistance, a Hardlex crystal, LumiBrite hands and markers, and a recessed crown. The GMT hand and 24-hour bezel let you read a second time zone at a glance, which is the main thing it adds over a plain Seiko 5 diver. It suits buyers who want a mechanical travel watch with real heritage without moving up to Seiko's more expensive GMT lines. Owners rate it highly for looks and value, and the usual complaints are about the bracelet and the lack of a sapphire crystal.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the SSK003 highly, mostly for its dial, bezel colors and the GMT function at this level. Complaints center on the bracelet and the Hardlex crystal rather than the movement.

About the Seiko 5 Sports GMT SKX Automatic Blueberry Dial Silver Steel Strap Watch For Men SSK003K1

The Seiko 5 Sports GMT SKX is an automatic watch with a blue dial, a round stainless steel case and a silver stainless steel bracelet. It follows the SKX models first released in the 1990s, which updated the 1960s originals with better water resistance, strengthened crystals and luminous hands and hour markers.

A GMT hand and a bi-colour 24-hour bezel are made for tracking multiple time zones at a glance. The bezel is coated in Hardlex. The hands and indices are coated in LumiBrite, a luminous paint that absorbs light and glows in the dark, then fades slowly.

The "beads of rice" bracelet uses a five-piece link design that forms a series of small X-shaped patterns. It closes with a three-fold clasp with a secure lock and push-button release.

Questions and answers

Is the SSK003 a true GMT or an office GMT?
It is an office GMT: the GMT hand is set independently, while the local hour hand is not quick-set on its own. That is fine for tracking a home time zone, but travelers who reset the local hour often will notice the difference from traveler GMTs.
How does it compare with the SKX007?
It keeps the SKX case shape, dial layout and beads-of-rice bracelet but adds a GMT hand and 24-hour bezel. It uses a newer 4R34 movement with hacking and hand-winding, which the old SKX007 lacked.
Can I swim with it?
It is rated to 100 m with a recessed, non-screw-down crown. That covers swimming and snorkeling, but it is not a dive watch rating, so leave it off for diving.
Does the movement hack and hand-wind?
Yes. The 4R34 automatic movement stops when you pull the crown to set the time and can be wound by hand, unlike older Seiko 5 movements.
What is in the box?
The watch on its steel bracelet, with the box and paperwork. Straps are not included, so plan on buying a spare if you want to swap.
Is the bracelet easy to resize?
It uses pin-and-collar links, which need a small tool and some care. Many owners swap to a strap or have a jeweler size it.
