They need to stop putting this energy (or is it because it’s so easy there’s not much energy needed) into releasing LE, and work on the same complaints everyone has about their watches.
1. Make it thinner. 14mm is too thick, it needs to be in the 12mm range.
2. Improve the bracelet and clasp. Taper the bracelet and get better clasps.
I really appreciate the craftsmanship of GS watches, and they make beautiful timepieces. I’ve been waiting to buy my next GS when they do the two things above, and I keep hoping the next release that comes out it these will be addressed. Sadly it’s the same thing every time.

I agree with this observation and because I am such a big fan of the brand and with the availability situation of Rolex/PP/AP I have looked past it. For awhile I have felt awash in a sea of models and options. I now have the Panerai feel where the brand introduces a LE/SE and create a lot of hype only to have a slight modification to the dial or other area and make it a regular production model undercutting the original piece. Don't even mention the crossover of pricing between GS/Seiko LX/Seiko and you have what can best be described as a mess and at worst an uncoordinated marketing effort and money grab. While I still appreciate the GS brand I have nothing on the radar for a purchase.
