Seiko Sumo Solar GMT

I'm increasingly becoming drawn to quartz & solar quartz. I'll never ditch my Omegas but the convenience and value for money can be extraordinary!

Waiting for a new bracelet that will do the case finish justice, but I'm more than happy with the new Solar Sumo.

What do you think??

I purchased my first light-powered watch a couple weeks ago. I enjoy the convenience, simplicity in use and am in awe of the science behind it. However I’m equally in awe of mechanical watches so I own and enjoy both now 🙂

I have a Solar Sumo Padi Chronograph and just swapped the metal bracelet with a Veloci black rubber strap. Made it look sleeker for me. 😎

Looks great on your wrist! What’s your wrist size by the way? Thinking of buying one for myself!

Thanks for the prompt reply! Damn I might be sized out, my wrist is 6.5 inches..

The Sumo is somewhat of an optical illusion. The case sits well on many wrists, wears smaller than you think. I'd try one on before ruling it out👍

Closing the loop here! I pulled the trigger and bought this beauty! It’s the Black JDM version. Wrote a little review on it too:

Just wanted to say thanks as your post led me to buying this watch :)
