The ultimate GS quartz is the SBGF021 (or 019, 017) with the 8J56 movement, independent hour adjust with 5 year battery life. It´s the movement Seiko doesn´t want you to know about because it is way better than the 9F but more expensive to produce
@@phillippugh2161 I own a sbgn005, movement and crown action needs to be improved at this price point of 3k, now they want 3.5k and up for a 9f. Ss bracelet as usual GS below standard in terms of feel against Tudor, Omega, Rolex.
@@jaime3465 and yet you came to this post anyway .......go figure. My opinion nobody has better fit and finish then grand Seiko dollar for dollar an I own both Rolex and omega fyi my GS GMt quartz is perfect blue dial
Beautiful. I have two dozens of gs, including the vintage. Gives me great pleasure. The new LX line is also amazing, with the kind of innovations, you expect of a good watch maker. Now, even the Seiko puts my rolex to shame. Have just sold my daytona. The hulk and batman are going next. I am replacing them with ken okuyama collection.
It’s amazing. I bought the SBGN005 blue dial and was debating for a while if I wanted one quartz watch. By the time i got done thinking he limited yellow sold out!!!! Amazing piece. It’s accurate as hell. I love watching the second hand land on the markers. In slow motion you can see the twin synchro regulator at work also! Great watches
Great review but that strap change at the end had me holding my breath. 😅 I know how those ejecting springbars can like to leave a scratch on their way out! Thanks for review! 👍🏼
I love how simple it looks. I know people will complain about the price you pay for quartz watch but coming from GS, you know it is top quality quartz watch.
I think you laboured the point about the crown positions, said “fantastic” or “great” a hundred times or more, spoke fleetingly about its accuracy... There are so many specifics (and descriptors) like the Zaratsu polishing, metal hardness / need to polish, battery replacement requirements, history of Grand Seiko, other Sports line pieces from GS, other competitors like the Explorer 1 (?)... ...I just didn’t learn anything at all, and I think this watch in particular could do with a better write up. Hope this is taken as constructive, with no offence intended.
Its a review.... Its not suppose to be math class.. " I did not learn anything ".... Were your words. The learning is your part of it. How ever that may be, which sources you direct yourself too to learn about a criteria of a item you are interested in. He did a good review. Im satified. Good quality camera. You can hear his voice just fine. An he showed the watch perfectly, an gave a bonus on showing the drilled lugs an different watch straps that can be worn, on the watch itself. Give positivity instead of negativity because he will improve with postivity an grow an be more defined with his future videos because of it.......
You'd be wrong to assume this is a typical quartz movement. Yes is is indeed a quartz movement, but if you look into it you'll be impressed with the engineering and performance of it. Don't take this for walmart quartz movement
It takes time, I guess. I used to feel that way, but when I held one in my hands, and saw the finishing plus the engineering that went into it, and suddenly it made sense. Just my two cents, cheers!
While I somewhat agree, the 9F is a different animal. 50 year service intervals, serviceable/repairable so it will last multiple lifetimes, more hand finishing and regulation than most mechanical movements, it's really in a class of it's own. I would have no problem wearing a 9F based watch and be happy to explain my decision to anyone who brought it up.
Similarly they both offer function and reliability in the modern age. I have a montblanc rollerball and it makes much more sense than having a fountain pen. If I saw a man take out a fountain pen in my profession I would think he was a pretentious knob! I don’t own a high end quartz but I like the idea of having a grab and go watch in the collection and could see a Gs serving that purpose well.
