Grand Seiko Sport Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 GMT 44.2mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 44.2 mm case size

Grand Seiko Sport Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 GMT 44.2mm measures 50.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 44.2 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 89% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 87% of the 232 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50.6 mm (1.99 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 14.4 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 87% of the watches with a listed thickness.
