[@davidceloski6498]

Regardless,still sweeps nice visually and CRAZY accurate at the end of the day it’s a time keeper, and keeling time accurately should be the main priority

[@keesketsers5866]

@@davidceloski6498: Springdrive is impressive but useless. WAY better accuracy than the springdrive can be had with a cheapo plastic Casio atomic, or any other watch that syncs the time with the atomic clocks of the world. Springdrive defeats the purpose, the beauty of watchmaking is getting a mechanical "machine" to tell time extremely accurate. Using quartz or anything else but mechanical methods is useless in this pursuit. Might as well go for a Quartz watch (nothing wrong with that, I own several myself).

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

I really like the aggressive coin edge grooves on the bezel. Much needed, especially for a relatively firm action bezel like Seiko uses.

As a GS SBGA228 owner, I love it. Only down side is the clasp but it is still a great watch and you can get it at a good price with a bit of negotiating. No regrets

This is a such a stunning watch! I also want to take this time to send prayers out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers in this horrific crash that has happened some hours ago! As a watch enthusiast I value time in all aspects. From my watch collection to spending time with family. It is all precious and is valued greatly! We as a community should make sure our loved ones know how much we care for them while they are here and not just when they are gone...🙏🏾 #familyandtimepieces

[@cowboyswami2017]

I love that Grand Seiko & love the size too. The hands on that GS is Crazy big which Suit my taste. Only problem is you have to send it to Japan for servicing. Rolex vs GS- u need both. Great Video !

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you!

[@adlanhaziq]

It almost feels like cockfighting sometimes. Love both brands, they have excellent quality and history.

[@brianmason744]

Great video as always. I will say that , most of the you tube channels review the same grand seiko models. The good thing about grand seiko is that there are a plethora of models that give even the datejust a run for their money.

[@jonandresen1483]

Interesting look at the GS. The GS clearly blows the other watches out of the water on case, dial, hands, and indices finishing, especially under macro (that is the stuff you look at and feel). I can see how you dig on the BB bezel, but it seems you have never been diving. I own the BB and when wet the bezel is hard to grip and turn. Much prefer my Rolex bezel, Seiko, Omega, and GS bezels. The GS diver has an excellent bezel in grip, feel, and use and like all Seiko bezels need to be used underwater to be truly be appreciated. The GS clasp is bulky, and I can dig not liking that, but it is adjustable without having to take off the watch. Can't do that with my Rolex and Omega watches. On a dive that is a godsend. The GS is more about understanding their design choices more than anything they do "wrong".

[@BruceWilliams]

Despite how nice it is, the macro shows me Tudor and Rolex actually did a nicer job on all the dial details. While diving, the BB would be difficult to turn on a bracelet but not on rubber where there is ample room for gloved hands on the north and south sides. If I were to dive and wanted on the wrist adjust-ability I would probably for for a deep sea I like that system and its not as difficult to operate.

[@cubex68]

I think they are destroying the exclusivity by offering Spring Drive in Seiko watches

[@zxz5555]

GS spring drive is insanely beautiful, respect.👍👏

[@BernardManansala]

I have the 231 Titanium version and glad I opted for the titanium. Seiko's proprietary titanium alloy is more scratch resistant that steal.

[@brianbuchert6382]

Um .... yeah lol

[@johnkennedy9078]

How is that possible lol. Titanium is way softer than steel that's why it scratches easier

[@almoscola8684]

I have the 229 and simply love it. Great content and micro shots as always!!!!

[@watchroll3310]

Great point of view!! Btw the bezel is ADLC supposed to be very scratch resistant. Not as ceramic but doesn't shatters where ceramic does.

[@MegaLucifer1981]

The beveled edges on the bracelet says it all🥰

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Bruce, I am on the hunt for a Sub alternative and this video really helped. Tudor BB, Omega, Brietling etc. Great vid

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

Awesome watches...I wish I had the money to buy them, there are so many incredible time peaces out there.

[@excellentlistner5925]

I enjoy Marc’s videos and like him too. Thanks for another great video, Please compare the 229 Spring drive to a Seiko Marine Master. I am curious your thoughts. Thanks again

[@craigobrien4505]

Great video. This was the first one I’ve watched and I look forward to seeing more.

[@entroheat]

i diagree, i have both and also marinemaster the grand seiko/marinemaster bezel action is alot smoother than bb 41 i have and i like all of them.

[@sdean4816]

I like the Grand Seiko BUT it’s too big for my wrist. Wish they could shrink it down a bit....I would go with the Tudor for it’s smaller size.

[@shaagaknowsyou5295]

In London, the Grand Seiko boutique does not offer any discounts on the higher end models. The buying service and the hands on experience is great however. It's basically take it or leave it but you don't walk in there wanting to buy something unprepared to pay the price either I suppose. If you want a Grand Seiko, you'll pay for it and they're so worth it.

[@jefferyneu3915]

This is my ultimate grail watch. If someone offered me any watch I want, price no issue, this would be the one!❤️

[@rousseau327]

Come on.. the heritage collection Grand Seikos are great, but their sports watches are nothing special

[@brianbuchert6382]

Jeffery Neu I agree everyone has their grail watch ignore all the negative nellies and their over inflated opinions!

[@theguardian3431]

So we're not going to talk about the Waffle Turtle at all? I sense a subtle set up for the next video. 😉

[@BruceWilliams]

I'm working on that one 🙂

[@MidAtlanticTV]

A better option is the titanium version (SBGA231). Better looking with the touch of gold on the dial and much more comfortable on wrist. A real game changer for everyday comfort.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

@Tom The Fish Usually about $500 to $1,000 more USD on the used market. Well worth it.

Spring drive movement from another world and can't any watch compared to this movement and also finishing🙏

[@Therollingpanda]

Love seeing the turtle I own next to the GS I aspire to own! Awesome video mate!!

[@Teachering]

I own a Grand Seiko, the SBGH267G. I bought the watch soon after its release and I paid retail. LOL The fact of the matter is, I'm lousy at negotiating prices at a jewelers. I get uncomfortable. I've had my sights on this Spring Drive Diver for several years. I'd love to own it. I think, however, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono will probably be my next watch.

[@BruceWilliams]

The chrono is a great offering!

[@randallhill7979]

Beautiful watch, Awesome review Bruce

[@MM-bg7in]

Love the green pop of the GMT and unique identity of the Tudor. GS dress watch is on the list someday. Really prefer the sleekness of the Rolex and my wrist is over 8. Just a personal preference.

[@spacejockey9223]

I've worn the SBGA231 for a few weeks and it is quite a bit more wearable than the Hi-Beat GS Diver (the 600m one). "Visually dynamic" is the exact phrase I'd use to describe it. In real life use the power reserve indicator is not distracting or visually unbalanced at all. The bezel is serviceable in my opinion, nothing special but the insert is very pretty. However the bracelet is kind of a let down for its price, when Tudor of all people make better diver specific bracelets for watches that can easily be bought for half the price of the 231. Still, if you have the cash and don't want to get yet another Sub, this GS is a good choice.

[@wortex36]

I get lost in this GMT master Rolex hahaha That is by far best looking watch of these 4 on my opinion, omg 😱

[@tgemz3376]

Had a Tudor BB - bezel action blows seiko out of the water. Was a thing of beauty.

[@jasonbevan9115]

All comes down to one’s taste I own a GS SBGA461G and I prefer this watch to my Omega Seamaster…and Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 it’s way more comfortable on the wrist plus I think the bracelet is awesome and prefer it to the Omega as you don’t have to take it off to adjust it…My wrist is 7.5 inches and it sits beautifully don’t be put off by the size until you try it on the wrist you may be surprised…And the accuracy on this just blind’s everything else I’ve had to date by a mile it’s insane…Plus look at the sweep of the seconds hand on its own mesmerising…

[@floofycatz]

I like your blue MM300 over this. Or your Dad's Omega Seamaster 300M and the Breitling SOH II you showed off last fall.

[@BruceWilliams]

If I got to choose a diver freebie it would probably be a black bay at this price

[@floofycatz]

@@BruceWilliams Nice choice :)

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

The Grand Seiko is undoubtedly a gorgeous watch, but it is massive. I love the Spring Drive system, but I hate that gauge. I wish GS would move it to the back side of the watch, and showcase that movement while you're at it. Omega is capable of doing it, so GS should be able to as well. While 200m water resistance is more than enough for a recreational dive watch, 300m is the standard for divers, and I'm sure GS can manage that as well. The lumed pip on the second hand is only to verify the watch is running, I dislike it being on the wrong side of the hand. It shouldn't matter, but it rubs me the wrong way. And that clasp. All other dive watch manufacturers have far more elegant solutions for this. I'm sure it works well, but it's unsightly. For a watch of that price I'd expect more. All in all, it is a beautiful watch, but it's got too many quirks that I can't get on board with. Every dive watch has things about it that I wish were different, but the most perfect dive watch for me is the Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600. It's 40mm, doesn't have a cyclops lens, looks elegant on the wrist (though a bit tall), has a massive overkill water resistance of 1220m, an unobtrusive gas escape valve, and full 60min gradations on the ceramic bezel. If I were going for something a little more vintage looking, the Rolex Submariner 14060M with 2 lines of text would be my choice. It's probably the most elegant dive watch out there, though the bracelet is a bit rattly because of the hollow center links, and the clasp is less than ideal not having a quick adjust. If I had money coming out the wazoo, the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 Comex is the ultimate of the ultimate, but only because they never made a 116600 Comex version.

[@InChristJesus87]

We just went interstellar on this one 😂

[@BruceWilliams]

I felt it was appropriate haha

[@ForeverUnknowing]

There's a solid 4-watch collection on the table. Interesting that the Turtle is by far the least expensive of the bunch and yet somehow doesn't look out of place from this side of the screen. That said, I love the Grand Seiko Spring Drive divers. I've seen a few models up close and the level of detail is quite astounding. I'd buy one of these over the Rolex in a heartbeat, even considering the drop off in value by comparison. I would buy pre-owned anyways so for me not a huge deal.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

With a watch that big you wont have any problems seeing the details thats for sure

[@picanha694]

i saw it in person and it looks better finished than a rolex gmt side by side.

[@nightstalker824]

Crazy to think I had that same clasp on my $500 velatura diver back in 2007. It's seiko though, they know the fanboys will put this watch on a pedestal

[@PT111111]

No offended Bruce, but Rolex being far more expensive than GS is a reflection of their brand equity, how desirable their watches are. It doesn't speak to the quality that GS is able to produce at their price point. I've said it many times. After a certain price point, you're paying mostly for the brand name, and Rolex is the proof of that.

[@BruceWilliams]

Definitely can't see eye to eye here brotha

[@PT111111]

@@BruceWilliams I'd appreciate it if you can share your theory on why you don't think Rolex pricing is related to their brand equity. These GS are made in Japan and Japan ain't no sweatshop. Their cost of living is even higher than the USA. Sure the stainless steel grade that Rolex uses might be more expensive, but not thousands more expensive.

[@Peter-tc3ep]

PT111111 can’t compare, the GS in person is matt or dull, bulky and not very tool or versatile looking. While the Rolex has a timeless look with a mix of polished metals and brushed. The Rolex is versatile and thin enough to wear under a jacket. Even the adjusting of the two watches gives notice to the better craftsmanship in the Rolex. Then move onto the bracelets for the final blow, not even a comparison, the GS feels loose and cheaper with a large uncomfortable buckle. For cost of manufacturing remember Switzerland is one of the most expensive places to live and highest incomes in the world above the US and well above Japan. Rolex uses gold accents even on their steel models and rhodium verse GS mostly more basic steel. GS does a good job polishing off their cases but if you look deeply they are not the same.

[@serendipitous6]

It will always be subjective... If paying more for "brand equity" is someone's preference, then that's their gig... There's always an element of satisfaction in either owning that excellent timepiece with "brand equity" or going for another excellent timepiece and having more left over for other pursuits. Trading timepieces isn't my thing, so what I buy, I intend to own or pass along... Resale doesn't figure prominently for all enthusiasts, so I say buy what you like...

[@PT111111]

@Tom The Fish Lol spoken by someone who has never lived there. People work 12 hour day there. 2 weeks annual holiday. Beer cost twice as much as the USA, same with movie tickets. An apple can cost about $2.

[@1517the_year]

I’m a huge fan of GS. I own 3 but I don’t know about this. Something’s off putting. As if the impeccable finishing doesn’t fit on a great tool watch. Need to try it on my wrist first.

[@BruceWilliams]

Definitely needs to be handled in person

[@hersheysquirt6526]

I agree man. There's something about the bezel that I don't like; almost makes the watch too "showy." Not a fan of PR indicators on tool watches either, just doesn't work. And after handling in person I found that I just don't like the clasp.

[@sajidafridi5951]

This is what I did...I picked the same GS @ 3850usd...little used and still under 2.5 yrs warranty

[@e36boy]

If only they were 40mm then I'm sold.

[@marks7217]

I thought the bezel is titanium nitride (ceramic)?

[@vukotabrajovic5988]

Grand Seiko SBGA229 is a masterpiece. But, unfortunately, it is too large and with a bracelet that needs to be improved. IMHO, the case build and polish quality beats Rolex with ease, as well as the movement (love it or not, Spring Drive is currently the most interesting thing on the market, and its smoothness is simply enchanting) but on the other hand - Rolex simply wears better and it has an upper hand when it comes to the bracelet. Anyway, great watch and a great review as well!

[@keesketsers5866]

@@zman8340: I found out the hard way why they don't : can't read it in bad lighting. My Sumo has a black background with white lettering and is impossible to see in anything but bright light. This is still a tool (divewatch) so probably they went for legibility over appearance, which I kind of agree with.

[@monsterous289]

Needs to be smaller, open back, and less gaudy (something that could fit in a semi-formal setting) like Rolex or Omega.

[@BruceWilliams]

That is contrary to the essence of GS imo haha

[@nicks8026]

Agree about the size but I'm not sure how this is any gaudier than a Sub. It's certainly far less gaudy than the current Seamaster.

[@raksh9]

Smaller, yes, open back, maybe. But the gleam and glisten of this watch helps set it apart from others in its category. If you would wear a Rolex Sub in a semi formal setting, you can wear this, too.

[@raksh9]

@120 Clicks Yes and no. Physically, it wears like a 42mm, and feels heavier in the head than a classic Sub Date or Sea-Dweller. Visually it definitely looks larger than the 40mm Sub/SD. Still gorgeous, though.

[@rousseau327]

@120 Clicks It wears smaller because of the lug shape, the diameter of the dial is still what is on paper. It's too damn big for a 200m diver

[@chawenhalo0089]

Not sure the way the ceramic bezel marker sticks out from the bezel itself is very good. Makes it a bit crude IMO, but then I find it quite hard to appreciate a GS diver vs other types of GS.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

The clasp and the minute hand is the deal breaker on the GS for me, like the tudor who has a horrible hour hand which is again a deal breaker for me. Very good review as per normal Bruce, thanks man.

@@PK-mx7nf Oh i guess you're right. It is the same scheme as the BB 58 though..

Nice video. That GS is a better watch than the Tudor, methinks. It should sell for more than the Tudor's as well. You are right about style, etc. It is different. Saying it should sell for $3,500 to $4,000 is a bit crazy, imho. It is a far better watch than that -- in every regard.

[@BruceWilliams]

I'm just speaking from my experience with watches at this price. I don't think its a 6k watch

[@Hoppetakeyama]

I love GS. They are so unique and superbly made. Rolex are also nice but too boring. Tudor would be better. BTW, I read somewhere that Seiko is coming up with a steel better than Rolex 904. They will be out in July.

[@rousseau327]

I would be looking forward to that. But for now, Grand Seikos makes nothing that is more exciting than Rolex, in terms of sports watches

[@redzuan6425]

I can't get pass the lume on the wrong end of the seconds hand. That may not bother most, but that is the one thing that stopped me from getting a GS diver.

@@dicklarge1901 Even though SBGA229 isn't one of my favorite GS models, it still has a lot of handmade craftsmanship and it isn't that expensive. On other hand the Rolex gmt master 2 that we see next to it (although aesthetically looks nice) is machine made and costs around $12k . At that price point i'd expect a lot more from Rolex.

[@jacc88888]

Nice, objective review. Despite the fantastic zaratsu polishing i feel that GS divers lack character compared to the big Swiss brand divers . Also in this video the Rolex GMT looks nicer in natural light. The design is more interesting, their is more reflectivity due to the better balance of brushes to polished surfaces and the bracelet looks way more expensive. Just my opinion though!

[@BruceWilliams]

I think the GS would have more character if they did a polished or Sunday dial. The matte doesn't quite do it

[@jacc88888]

Bruce Williams Yeah good point! Wish GS would put a bit more of the flair that they put into their dress watch dials into their divers’ dials too.

[@Gladiatorthugswagx]

Important to note the GS has a brushed center link whereas the Rolex is polished.

[@mt24Carson]

If it were smaller (40-42mm), had greater WR (>200m), it would be amazing. Have seen this one and the titanium version in person, those are my thoughts. ⌚👍

[@magic2103]

Hi Bruce ! How can you explain that this Watch has no Ceramic bezel ???? A Seiko King Turtle has a ceramic bezel but not a Grand Seiko ??? It’s a 8-9k watch !! ... does it really matter or is it a negative ??? Thanks !!!

[@theoverlord1925]

Beautiful , tried this and the titanium version on at the Seiko boutique. The titanium is light but it felt flimsy for the money. This looked better and felt well built, but too heavy so if you are ok to wear it on a rubber strap or NATO it’s fine, on the bracelet for me it was not comfortable, too heavy like a brick on your wrist .This should be a 41- 42 mm tops and lighter weight. Anything over 130 to 140 grams is not going to be comfortable for me.

[@970diego]

It bothers me that the lume isn't deep filled, and it's lopsided on certain markers. They really need to make these smaller too.

I would buy this watch in a heart beat and risk a month in the dog house if 3 of the deal breakers were changed. 1) That clasp is way too chunky 2)The crown needs to be 30% shorter 3) Switch out the hands for the ones in the Prospex SLA037. Then it would be IMHO the perfect watch!
