Grand Seiko 44GS Limited SBGW289 Is a True 36.5mm Stunner

How it wears

Wears true to its 36.5 mm case size

Grand Seiko 44GS Limited SBGW289 Is a True 36.5mm Stunner measures 42.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 36.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.17 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 85% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 84% of the 232 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 57 mm (2.24 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42.7 mm (1.68 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
