personally, I find the power gauge on some of those Seiko spring drives unsightly and distracting. I believe they’ve moved it to the back of the case on newer models? That newly announced cloud blue one is quite attractive, but none of the GS line has lume, right?
Many have lume.

gtk! I always thought GS was all about polished indexes, but admit I’ve never taken a deep exploration dive into the brand

Grand Seiko sports models all have lume in hands and indices

I'm a bit of a luddite. If I need to track a second timezone (which is all I've ever needed) I'll use a simple three hander with a moveable bezel/rehaut. I own two - A Magrette Dual Time which does the job on a 12 hour cycle and a Glycine Airman which supplies 24 hour tracking. Faffing about with a 4th hand to track two timezones just seems like an unnecessary complication.

With regard to tracking a third timezone via 4 hands and a moveable bezel/rehaut, if that floats your boat, by all means go for it - I'll rely on mental arithmetic or my phone.
