Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports SKX Sports Style GMT Model SBSC017 Men's Automatic Watch with Silver Dial

The SBSC017 is a Seiko 5 Sports SKX-style GMT with a silver dial, a 24-hour bezel and a fourth 24-hour hand for tracking a second time zone. It runs the 4R34 automatic movement with 41 hours of power reserve, hacking and a date window, in a 42.5mm stainless steel case rated to 10 bar. It suits buyers who want an affordable mechanical travel watch with SKX looks; against the standard SKX it adds the GMT function and a sapphire-like Hardlex lens with a magnifier, while it is thicker and heavier than a three-hand diver. Owners of the SKX GMT line praise the case shape and legibility but note the movement's wide accuracy tolerance and the modest bracelet.

What reviewers say

Owners of the SKX GMT series like the case shape, the legible dial and the useful 24-hour hand. Common complaints are the wide accuracy spread of the 4R34 and the watch's thickness and weight.

What people mention
  • AccuracyCriticisedOwners report the 4R34 can run fast or slow within its wide rated tolerance.
  • Case sizeMixedThe 42.5mm case wears well for many, but the 13.6mm thickness and 161g weight feel heavy to some.
  • LegibilityPraisedThe silver dial, bold indexes and Lumibrite are easy to read day or night.
  • GMT functionPraisedThe 24-hour hand and rotating bezel make a second time zone simple to track.
  • BraceletCriticisedThe steel bracelet is seen as serviceable but not a highlight.

About the Seiko 5 Sports SKX Sports Style GMT Model SBSC017 Men's Automatic Watch with Silver Dial

The Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT model SBSC017 is a men's automatic watch with a silver dial. It belongs to the SKX series and is a new colorway of the SKX GMT line.

Questions and answers

Is the SBSC017 a true GMT?
It has a 24-hour hand and a 24-hour rotating bezel, so it displays a second time zone. The 4R34 is not a traveler GMT with an independently set hour hand.
How accurate is the 4R34 movement?
Seiko rates it at +45 to -35 seconds per day. Real-world examples often do better, but expect variation between watches.
Can I wear it swimming?
It is rated to 10 bar, which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not a dive watch and should not be used for saturation diving.
What is in the box?
The watch on its steel bracelet, with Seiko's three-year manufacturer's warranty. A manual and presentation box are included.
How does it compare with the standard SKX?
It keeps the SKX case shape and adds a GMT hand, a 24-hour bezel and a magnified date. It is thicker and heavier than the three-hand SKX.
Does it have sapphire crystal?
No. It uses Hardlex with a magnifying lens over the date, which resists scratches but less than sapphire.
