The Grand Seiko SLGC009's rumored discontinuation is speculated to potentially aid in value retention. On balance, owners are divided on the Grand Seiko SLGC009's polarizing design, with its movement and wearability being points of discussion.

Zelos Nova 37

Owners widely praise the Zelos Nova 37's spectacular 37mm dimensions and extremely light, thin wearability.
