My first seiko
Hi guys, I’m new community. I bought couple of months ago. TBH it’s fantastic watch for my 6.3” inch wrist. But I somewhat feel it’s little thick and unfortunately when swing my hand unknowingly while I walk I gets hit and chances getting scratches on the glass is high due to its thickness is there way to protect the glass? For sure I should be cautious not to swing my hand. But eventually I’m worried it might tend to get more scratches due to thickness. Is there solution to it?

A couple options come to mind:
Take it to a local watchmaker and have a sapphire crystal installed
Take it to a local watchmaker and have a thinner crystal installed so it sits below the bezel (some seiko landmasters have this feature)
Yes. Let it get beat up. It will show more character💥😉 But I’m sure you will also build a natural awareness when you move around now. Nice watch though💯

Hello new Cruncher and welcome!
That's an unfortunate consequence of this watch and it's sister the 5KX. It's a tall piece to begin with and then there's the added height from the strap. Is it single or double pass? I had my 5KX on a double pass (Nato) and it was VERY tall. Since I didn't like the look of it on the Natos, it's back to the OE bracelet. Maybe a Marine National strap would make it slimmer without sacrificing the look(if it's a double). My two Canadian cents
Hello and welcome to WC!
I like the look of the strap you have it on.
It’s a tool , tools get used , it’s only a Seiko 5 it’s not a Patek. Wear it out 🥁🎳

It will have beat down in the years to come and for now I prefer scratch free
