What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT's bracelet, noting its fantastic build with screw links and a bezel that exhibits no play. However, the Pearl DG5833A movement requires approximately 50 crown winds to start, and the rotor is described as noisy. The 60-click unidirectional bezel is criticized for not aligning precisely with 24 time zones, and some owners find the red crown ring unappealing. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT highly for its bracelet quality and bezel action, despite some noted movement and aesthetic quirks.

Seiko 5 Sports Field series

The Seiko 5 Sports Field series offers an accessible explorer-style watch with a 41mm stainless steel case, 100m water resistance, and a Hardlex crystal. The Field GMT model features a caller GMT complication powered by the 4R34 movement, while the standard Field models use the 4R36 with a 41-hour power reserve. Both models include Arabic numerals coated in LumiBrite and a lumed pearl on the bezel. On balance, the Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT is a well-regarded entry-level explorer watch for its price point, despite its office-style GMT function.

From video reviewers

The prominent five-sided GMT hand enhances legibility and adds a sophisticated aesthetic to the watch. The Seiko 5 Sports Field series offers similar functionality to the Explorer 2 at a lower price, making it a valuable option. Reviewers disagree on whether it's a missed opportunity for Seiko to release this model first, with one reviewer implying it would have been a more logical addition to their lineup.
