New GS GMT Sport Hi Beat Green
I am new to GS and purchased this Green GMT Sport Hi Beat SBGJ239. Wearing it now for three days it will be a keeper.The watch is big at 44mm but after adjusting the bracelet with the 1/2 link it wears very comfortable on my 7.25 wrist. The green face changes color depending on the lighting and can look black but the dial is easy to read and the red index of the second hour hand stands out for a quick read. The lume is very good and wearing the watch outside and stepping inside really stands out.
I liked the idea that this was a SS watch that was rated for 20 ATM and can be worn when traveling for telling time in a second time zone or to swim in the water. It is a sport watch so I don't need to baby it. I am still checking the accuracy but it has been very accurate these first three days. |

Congrats and wear it in great health, OP! This is a very sharp piece, especially in the particular colorway. I'd love to see some wrist shots whenever you feel like sharing.

Very nice watch. I should know, I own one.
As for accuracy, it is my most accurate watch. Consistently so. It's such a well made watch. It is big, so not for everyone, but for me....perfect. A perfect traveling companion too. The lume is out of this world. You got yours on a bracelet! HOW! I've been looking for a bracelet with contouring endlinks for ages, like the one on the SBGJ237, but haven't found a solution. I called GS about it, and they said the bracelet is $900. Ugh. Not sure I can justify that. But congrats!!! |

My GS GMT came on the bracelet and had a leather strap included. It is a big watch but as one can see on my 7.25 wrist it sets comfortably. It is very hard to capture the Green face in a iPhone shot but I am enjoying the changing color checking during the day what color I will see Green or Black.

Looking very nice Didn't know the 239 was offered on bracelet as well. My wrist is the same size and your comment about the half link is spot on. I've done the same with my SBGE245 and fits perfectly so the two watches should be wearing identical. Thanks, this was very helpful!
