This arrived today. First impressions - wrist fit is very good. Shape of case makes it hug my wrist. Lightness, titanium case and bracelet increases wearability. Design - unicorn crown, distinctive, usable and no wrist intrusion, dial is big clear and bold, slim bezel the clearest crystal I've experienced and AR is totally effective. Then there's the sweep of the second hand ..................... nothing like anything I've seen.
Lovely to look at and wear.
More to come as relationship develops.

I was thinking about purchasing the land master as well. It has many great features for a good price. However, I am concerned about case thickness. Any thoughts? Enjoy! It looks great!
It's an awesome watch. Tried one on in Japan when i was trying to decide between it and a SD Tuna.
A rather lovely watch and not a million miles away from the Seiko Spring Drive Spacewalk which I'd love to own as I worked with Richard Garriott in the early 90's however at $80k and up for the spacewalk, if you can find one, the Landmaster is slightly more attainable...

Good choice, always wanted to try one those Landmasters.
Height in proportion for me. Case shape keeps watch close to wrist. The GMT hand is lumed around its edge so easy to differentiate in dark. I’m trying a Perlon with it today. Haven’t yet timed it but suspect it’ll “hold its head up”.

That looks awesome!
Very cool indeed, I’m sure you’ll enjoy that one for some time to come.

Beautiful - I’ll be sure to get another Spring Drive soon, wonderful engineering fusing the best of mechanical & electronics.

initially I like the simplicity of the SD dial but now I do enjoy the boldness of the auto
for those who have reservation for the SD movement, they should try to have a piece and enjoy

Nice SD.
I had 2 and very foolishly let them go
Major massive regret.
Enjoy.

Yes I've heard that comment. It works fine for me-not intrusive.

What's annoying about the power reserve is that it's not needed; the spring-drive mechanism is highly efficient and normal use will keep the watch fully wound. You don't need a special indicator.
Maybe. It does seem to be a Spring Drive movement feature on many models with this movement. So enjoy the movement and compromise. Although my Landmaster has not left my wrist since buying it I can see the advantage of seeing it’s state of charge when picking it up after a period of non use.

The PR feature is great, it allows me to wear my GS in a small rotation and know how charged it is. If you're the kind of who likes simplicity and baulks at a date feature then a PR might not be something you want.
I sold my first Spring Drive and have quickly replaced it as there’s nothing quite like it. Once you’ve had one traditional mechanical movements just seem so clunky.

I have few SD..SD 600M, SD tuna LE008, GS diver, GD Landmaster and Ananta SD Chrono 007 and the only concern would be the future maintenance costs so I use them sparely.
