Seiko 62MAS

Some owners report accuracy issues with the 6R movement, while others find it runs within specifications, and opinions are split on whether the 40mm size is too large for smaller wrists, with some noting it can wear top-heavy. The price point is considered high by some, though others deem it fair for a new watch. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko 62MAS highly for its faithful recreation of the original design and refined modern interpretation.
