Does the SSK023 have a GMT function?

Yes. The 4R34 movement drives a fourth 24-hour hand, so you can read a second time zone on the bezel-free chapter ring.

Yes. It is rated to 10 ATM (100 m), which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.

Is the crystal sapphire?

No. It uses mineral glass, which is more prone to scratching than sapphire. A screen protector or careful wear helps.

How does it differ from the standard Seiko 5 Sports?

The SSK023 adds the GMT hand and 24-hour scale. The standard models are three-hand watches without the second time zone.

Does it have a screw-down crown?

No. The crown pulls out and pushes in, so check it is seated before getting the watch wet.

The watch on its steel bracelet, a Seiko presentation box and paperwork. No extra strap is included.

Our take on the Seiko 5 Sports (SSK023)

The Seiko 5 Sports SSK023 is a steel automatic field watch with a black dial, Arabic and baton markers, a date window and 100 m water resistance. Its standout feature is the 4R34 movement with a 24-hour GMT hand, which sets it apart from the simpler three-hand Seiko 5 Sports models at a similar level. It suits people who want a rugged everyday watch with a second time zone and don't mind setting the date and time by hand. Against pricier GMT watches it gives up sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown, but the automatic movement, steel bracelet and 100 m rating cover daily wear well.
