One owner specifically notes it felt the best on their wrist after trying multiple options.

Grand Seiko SBGR261

Grand Seiko SBGR261 owners praise its perfect 39.5mm dimensions, beautiful cream lacquered dial with a silver date disc, and blued second hand, noting the excellent finishing for its price point and its suitability for formal events. Some find the design too safe and the cream dial with leather strap less appealing, while others flag its over 13mm thickness as too tall for a dress watch. The movement finishing is described as rudimentary, though the 9S65 automatic is considered well-made and a terrific value. Overall, owners rate the Grand Seiko SBGR261 highly for its classic design and excellent finishing at its price.
