Grand Seiko 62GS Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 38mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38 mm case size

Grand Seiko 62GS Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 38mm measures 44.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 74% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 69% of the 232 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 50 mm (1.97 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 60 mm (2.36 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44.7 mm (1.76 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 12.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 62% of the watches with a listed thickness.
