I am not a watch enthusiast. A year ago, while randomly browsing youtube videos, I was introduced to Grand Seiko's Spring Drive technology. I was instantly captivated (I am an engineering sort of guy). I told myself I must have a Spring Drive watch because of it's unique engineering (and also its sublime beauty). A few weeks later, I became the proud owner of a GS SBGA373G - champagne dial, blued second hand, Spring Drive. Today it frequently adorns my wrist, even just going to the supermarket.

When I initially saw the notification, I thought you’d got another G-Shock and realised what you’d gone for when I played it. Marc Goldberg got a Diver in the summer and it was ugly and cheap. The watches have been primarily promoted by who you later reveal invited you; who are highly commercial and by their employee for whom the brand must be his pension plan. You redeemed yourself when you highlighted the shoddy packaging and cheap clasp. You gave what must be a good explanation being some type of engineer of what Spring Drive is. I have the impression you initially had about what they are. I get the impression the gimmicky pseudo Samurai sword polishing is just that. You got the invitation as a top watch channel with a large following from what should be a neutral major watch authority but is actually highly commercial. It is good your channel having it for diversity, but from watching the Diver on the other channel and this: I would never get one. I would have put the money towards a Blancpain or Breguet or a Hublot which are a budget Richard Mille, which I like the look of and hope they are well made now; better than they once were.

This is false. The quality of a Lange far surpasses Patek Philippe, especially as it relates to finishing. Besides, A. Lange & Söhne is one of the most welcoming and enthusiastic of brands - some of the nicest people I have had the privilege to meet. Give me a qualitative reason to believe that they’re “shit” and maybe I’ll believe you.

Points of order: The seconds hand sweep is as smooth as it is due to the glide wheel braking mechanism. The hand is not being stopped and released multiple times per second, as per a typical escapement, so there’s no frequency for you to imagine at 8:25 - although you seem to understand this by the time you’re explaining the way Spring Drive operates. High Intensity Titanium is Seiko’s proprietary version of Grade 5 Titanium Alloy - such that it has an appearance similar to steel, rather than the more usual darker hue associated with the material. The hardness is unchanged, so it’s no more harder to scratch than “generic” Grade 5 Ti6Al4V used by Omega, etc. Point to note… there are Swiss patents for such a technology back in the very early 70’s, but needless to say, it never went anywhere, and it was Seiko who persisted for 21 years, before finally making it a commercially viable reality. Piaget released their version a few years back, in the shape of the Emperador Coussin XL 700P - a snip at £65K, iirc, although limited to 118 pieces in total.

icalexander No, SpringDrive does NOT have a beat, at all. It is completely continuous. Do your research first. It is NOT a quartz watch in the common sense in that there is no motor. All the quartz oscillator does is measure the rate at which the drive occurs, and applies a magnetic brake to the system to slow it down to the perfect rate. It’s as though you’ve missed the whole point of SpringDrive design. Please stop making assumptions.

Saying the Swiss are the only ones who make good watches is like saying, only Ferrari makes good sports cars. Just because they have been in the game longer does not mean they are the best.

vincenzo V owning a Snowflake for a year now, I find lume pretty much unnecessary. If there is any ambient light, the hands and markers really stand out against the dial. It’s not an issue in complete darkness, but forgivable for a dressier style watch.

It’s a great watch and I have got a few seiko’s love the grands the most that said they don’t hold any value once you step outside the store I’ve had Rollie’s that when I got tired of them I sold them and made a good profit it’s an investment I love Japanese watches high quality last a long time

Believe me I appreciate the Grand Seiko line especially the incredible spring drive movement . But I guess this watch must look a lot better in hand because on video it comes across as a plain looking especially the dial . Just my opinion .

My GS came covered in a Seiko branded yellow cleaning cover. I understand that you’re disappointed with the box materials, but I’m not. I’d rather that the watch be of higher detail and quality, than the one time use box.

Great review and explanation of their spring drive. I have one of their sport watch models in blue which has a stunning blue dial that I have never seen in any other watch. Combine spring drive with a unique dial and you have a watch like no other. Like many others, as I learn more about watches, I want quality and value for money, which Grand Seiko certainly delivers but I still keep a look out for other quality offerings and some micro brands. Many thanks!

GS Spring Drive is extremely impressive in my opinion. It combines the best of mechanical and quartz to create something truly unique (that second hand omg!!!). I adore my automatic mechanical watches, but i will get a Seiko Spring Drive at some point, that is for sure!

Has Seiko beat the Swiss? Their watches are more accurate, better finished and more affordable. They not only beat them, they scored a Hattrick while doing so.

Depends what you aim at - if you speak horlogery they beat ROLEX for sure (obviously if you consider Rolex is Swiss), if you think "+/- seconds/day" probably too. Now if you look at masterpieces they all came from France and Germany, historically, the Swiss started to reign after these two countries lost shine and business in horlogery - now when you look at the Holy Trinity, this is no longer only horlogery it's art but it's overpriced over-everthing, over-technical, beyond reason and "unafforable" - affordable Swiss manufacturers are key and the most impressive one is probably JLC but there are so many other excellent manufacturers here, like IWC, Glashutte, and less afforable like A. Lange Sohne, FP Journe - interestingly Japan has its own (different) way to measure time before they open to the rest of the world, and this is very interesting to see from where Seiko (in particular) comes and how they became leaders in less that half a century...

I have the exact same watch except chose to buy the midnight blue face. It’s a stunner in every respect and sometimes passes of as a Rolex DateJust to some. The Zuratshu polishing is unbelievable and truly brings out the beauty. I agree with you 100% - the spring drive movement is the eye catcher of all features. The sweep is hypnotic and calming to the eyes. Thank you for a super review.
