I have a seiko sarb033 for about a year now, I love the watch but my only problem is with it is it gets smudges and dust
particles on the glass way too easily and cleaning it with a cloth can leave more smudges depending on what type you
use. has anyone experience this with this watch and what methods you use to clean the glass to make it clear I am very ocd lol

If you have a watchmaker remove the crystal, that won't be an issue any longer.

Welcome to the world of flat mineral crystal.

You can try rubbing it down with a USED dryer sheet. It will put a fine wax layer that should stop dust from clinging by static.

you could paint the crystal white, that doesn't show marks as readily.

Try an anti-static gun to remove the static charge that's attracting the dust
