Miyota
Miyota's no-date variant of the 9015 platform, eliminating the date complication for a cleaner dial design. At 4.0mm thick it is notably slimmer than the 9015, making it attractive for watches where case thickness matters. The absence of a date mechanism also means one fewer point of mechanical complexity, and many watchmakers consider it the most refined movement in Miyota's lineup.

The community take
Smiths TRANS-GLOBAL owners widely praise its appearance, with one calling it the best-looking current Smiths and another highlighting the stunning, starry-sky aventurine dial that shifts with light. The beads-of-rice bracelet is considered exceptionally comfortable, even compared to luxury brands, and the case finishing is noted as good with polished surfaces and rolled lugs. However, some owners report sharp edges and a clasp that could be improved, and one owner noted the Miyota 9039 movement running at +12 seconds per day, suggesting regulation is needed. A "ghost movement" of the seconds hand when setting the time was also mentioned, though this is suggested to be common across many brands. One owner wished for a smaller, period-correct 34-36mm case size, finding the 39mm slightly too large.
