The Seiko SSK001, black face, is listed at MSRP of $475.
Never buy at this ridiculous price.
If you are smart you will do a good research and be able to buy it for just $250 with free delivery and no tax.
I did and of course bought it…..brand new.
It’s so nice
I’ll be adding this watch to my watch collection eventually
In my watch collection I’ve got Maserati, Citizen,Seiko, G Shock, Tommy Hilfiger, and many more great watches in my collection eventually I’m going to get myself a tudor Black by 41 mm black dial on the oyster bracelet and then for my 30th birthday in 5 years potentially hopefully a Rolex OP 36 silver
I absolutely love my watch on the big electro watches got my first seiko And it’s an my first automatic watch Because most of my watches in my collections have been Quartz or solar
Ive brought 2 of these and both chapeter rings were out
I see your chapter ring is also miss aligned 😭 goddam it Seiko
Just received mine in the post today. love it! just wish is tick was a little louder.
As for the misalignment, it only affects cheap, entry-level Seikos. These Seiko 5s are what Swatch is for Omega. Get a Seiko Prospex and I assure you there won’t be any misalignment.
Nice series. Too small sadly.
Anyone have links to the sapphire crystal that can be used to replace the hardlex?
Let's be honest – it's a fashion watch masquerading as a tool watch. Et tu, Seiko?

You contradict yourself. At the start you say it is a traveller's GMT. Later you say it is an office GMT.
at the start of the video you made a mistake by saying it's not an office gmt
What do you mean by travelers GMT?
I Just bought mine, but does anyone knows why mine doesn't say "made in Japan" (apart from the obvious reason)
Nice looking watch, would be perfect if it had a Pepsi bezel.
omg, that dust on the seconds hand 😲
Thinking twice if Im getting this watch but I have an 8 inches wrist, imagine it looks small for me. Hope they will make at least 44mm or 45mm
Wearing this GMT daily. Love it!
Is caratco an authorized dealer? I’ve been searching for links to buy this but wasn’t sure if the dust speck on this one’s hand meant the website wasn’t legit? Not sure if people make seiko counterfeits but wanted to be sure
Would you prefer this watch or the Baltic aquascathe?
Cheap version of SNR033
The blue color is really really growing on me… In person the blue didn't really appeal as blue. If you don't get the blue right I can really look tacky or not much of your wardrobe. Where as black is look more grey.. much grey than what you see on computer screen. Please please check it out yourself before you decide color and purchase online!
Did it have protective film on the crystal?
Did anybody else notice the bit of fluff on the second hand?
I have the orange one and I absolutely love it. I’m looking to get the Samurai next
Thank you for the nice video.
It's not a traveller's GMT (video time 1.00), it's an office GMT. Still a nice watch for the price.
Wait a minute how comes your one sais made in Japan at the bottom of number 6 and mine don't is the a difference
There is dust on the second hand. It's unnerving…
I was sceptical at first but popped into a local dealer who ordered it in for me to look at with no deposit or obligation to buy. I knew within 60 seconds I wasn't leaving the shop without it. Not only is it a great looking thing, but from a collectors point of view, it is a significantly important piece, being Seikos first ever budget automatic GMT. Definitely a future desirable classic.
too big
340ft
I got this watch a few months ago ..i played $330 out the door
Is there no problem if I touch the gmt function in the dead zone?
How is it with water? Can you shower or jump in a pool and be good with the push down crown?
Ssk003 or Srpd51k2?
At 2:29, Is there a tiny speck of dust on the seconds hand? Watch just as it crosses the red GMT arrow, between the tip of the arrow & the tip of the hand. I'm watching on a 55" TV and it's obvious from across the room. I think QC missed something😁
Nice review, good photography. I get that this is a GMT and not a dive watch but the 100 m water resistance and the non-screwdown crown render this particular watch's water resistance useless.
Many reviews fail to mention 100m of water resistance DOES NOT mean your watch can be used for swimming – in a pool, in a river or at the beach. Even 200m does NOT guarantee this.
It can and might be able to withstand a five-minute swim and you may get away with it several times – but only a 200m ISO certified watch, such as a Seiko PADI or Citizen Promaster dive watch, guarantees true water resistance while swimming and diving.
Hamilton and Certina produce watches with 300m of water resistance, stated on both the dial and the caseback but they are not ISO certified and prone to compromise – if you notice a tiny water droplet on the inside of the dial do not place the watch in the sun or under a light – take it directly to a watch repair shop who will remove the sapphire crystal to deal with the humidity in the watch and make sure it dries thoroughly.
What would make it a true GMT?
Thank you for the review. Nice looking watch.
2:34 whats on the second hand looks like dust or somthing
This reviewers Keep saying affordable boy it is still expensive.
