Is my purchase history not good enough?
Great for the office, great for an afternoon hike.
Get ready for the future, boys! 😁
This might be my new daily. 36mm is so comfy.

Check out the SBGY007 at 10.2mm - a real stunner in person

Yes
It's the main reason I have not bought one
Power reserves don't bother me... I wouldn't mind a JLC MUT Reserve de marche, for example

Part of their design language. They have a lot of angles to their cases which really need a bit of thickness to work. Think most of the movements are on the thicker side too.
Dimensions aren’t everything. A GS GMT on the 44GS case at 14mm wears far thinner than a Diet Pepsi with the same thickness.

Isn’t the 56KS a 36mm though? To get the same angles on a 41mm case it will need to thicker, otherwise it would end up looking flat. Either way GS has been trending to smaller cases and thinner watches with recent releases.

The white birch (11.7) is thinner than the BB58 (11.9). There are some thicker and some thinner. To say everything is thick is just ignoring the size of the collection.
They do wear smaller than the numbers suggest, and outside of the divers and chrono’s they are very wearable.

While I won’t discount that the paper thickness of GS watches can seem thick, they wear thinner if you try them on in person. For example, the 62GS case watches (eg Sbga413 shunbun) include the box sapphire crystal in their thickness so the wearing experience is thinner. My SBGJ235 GMT is 14mm but because of the midcase, it wears thinner as well
The new movement is slimmer. So the SLGH range could be very interesting to check out
