- Is the SSK005 a true GMT?
- Yes. The 4R34 movement has an independent 24-hour hand, so you can track a second time zone alongside local time.
- Can I swim with it?
- It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. The crown is push-pull, so avoid diving and make sure it is fully pushed in.
- How does it compare with the Seiko 5 field watches?
- It adds a GMT hand, a rotating 24-hour bezel and a larger case. The field models are simpler, lighter and more understated.
- Does it have a sapphire crystal?
- No. It uses mineral glass, which is more prone to scratches than sapphire.
- What is the case size?
- The case is about 40.5 mm across with a 20 mm lug width, so it wears similar to other Seiko 5 Sports models.
- How long does the power reserve last?
- About 41 hours when fully wound, so it keeps running overnight and through a day off the wrist.
- Where is the Seiko 5 SSK005 cheapest?
- At Designer Optics, for $495.00, as of our latest check.
