44GS Midsize 36.5mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 36.5 mm case size

Grand Seiko 44GS Midsize 36.5mm measures 42.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 36.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.17 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 85% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 86% of the 202 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 57 mm (2.24 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42.7 mm (1.68 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 11.6 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 37% of the watches with a listed thickness.
