I own a 9F GS. It recently started jumping 2 seconds at a time. Before changing the battery, I checked its accuracy. Over the last 365 days it gained 1.3 seconds…amazing. I need a spring drive in my life.

[@brownmcpherson5724]

I use another 9F, SBGX339, to set my mechanical watches. Amazing accuracy. BTW, these quartz GMT are available all day long for less than $3k on Chrono24 from Japanese dealers. Great deal at that price.

[@gregs.8895]

spring drives are absolutely mesmerizing.

[@beck4218]

I have the SGLA001and a 9F model. I love the sweep of the SD.

[@K.J.H_]

Those watches were weighed in the most ridiculous units I've ever seen used for the purpose 😂 Might as well give the time keeping in slugs!

[@blethook]

Quartz has the additional advantage of being low maintenance.

[@efenli]

👍👍👍 Nice Watch and Elegant Watch Review by WatchChris 👍👍👍

[@brownmcpherson5724]

Your IWC is fantastic!

[@douglascohen2521]

The spring drive looks better due to the curved case. Both great watches.

[@phildo864]

@watchchris, how does the thicker clasp with the micro adjust wear compared to the thinner clasp? Is the thinner clasp more comfortable with a correct fit? Or do you not even notice the thicker clasp?

[@chrisj854]

I wouldn’t call the spring drive a quartz I would call it a hybrid no battery

[@ge48421]

The quartz crystal is not involved in moving the hands in either type of watch (spring driven or stepper motor driven), it purely provides an accurate time basis. I consider both forms of quartz watches. Neither is inherently superior over the other.

[@randallhill7979]

Very nice

[@asamisato876]

when the other loresum vids coming out? you've only reviewed one of the three given to you, really looking forward to it

[@WatchChris]

Actually the Loresum LS02 review will be up will be up tomorrow! Great watch!!

[@charlyvanbuuren2947]

Both are great. But although the springdrive will run forever a 15 second a month is so so for an expensive hybrid watch. If i want a quartz watch which runs forever and has some sort of mechanical component in it kinetic is an option and much cheaper. So 9f is the one i prefer...

[@Iexpedite1]

So so? Hybrid watch? Who else makes a hybrid watch and who’s hybrid is better than 15 seconds?

[@user-fj6cl4qo9i]

Good

[@briansonner7682]

9F looks way better

[@clo2715]

What ruins spring drive for me is that there is a wall clock in every room at my dogs veterinary office and they all have a smooth sweep.

[@Joe-yi8xj]

9f quartz dream drummer watch. Look slick swing arms leave watch on

[@karlfranz7434]

Learn and understand what you're talking about before making a video. Spring Drive is not a Quartz movement ! Spring Drive is a mechanical movement that uses a quartz crystal.

[@jaskiniamestwa]

Ok, 9f quartz movement is absolutely fenomenal…however it’s still $3000 for a quartz watch - mixed feelings.

[@NoizeTank]

That’s why you go for a used SBGN001/003/005 for around $2000

[@oes2546]

It’s the holy grail of quartz movements though. And for some that appreciate quartz, that’s much cooler than the mechanical movement you get in a more expensive Tudor for example. Including me. But not for others, and that’s okay too Edit: I guess the cal.0100 is also the Holly grail of quartz. But out it’s not comparable to a mechanical in the same way as far as I know. A 9F is about longevity and serviceability ina way that makes it a proper alternative to a mechanical piece. The cal.0.100 is more a demonstration of the cutting edge of movement technology

[@edwardcatt2399]

Why? Because you think that quartz is less ‘artisanal’ than auto? 🤣

[@jaskiniamestwa]

@@edwardcatt2399 No. But it is :)

[@SampleTracks2224]

​@@jaskiniamestwaBoth watches made on robots that were lovingly built by hand, lol.
