Eh..I don’t know about that. The problem I have with these watches is that they look so plain. It looks like something out of a Walmart display case (yes very nicely finished) but plain. I looked at several of these last week and found none of them the least bit exciting.

While Rolex was focused on marketing, Seiko was focused on innovation, engineering and the laws of physics. Let's just say that Seiko wasn't sleeping and their genuine concept of making it better by R&D would bring their admirers to their doorsteps. Seiko definitely had their Mission Statement refined over the years.

For me as a watch AND tech nerd, the spring drive is the absolute pinnacle of practical watch technology. While other brands try to overcomplicate with useless design or movement features or full gem dials, Seiko pushes the limits of watchmaking beyond all boundaries by using best of both worlds. Yes it's Seiko. It's like the Godzilla Nissan kicking established supercars's asses on a budget... MY CHOICE

How much do they cost

Checking back in to the channel that made me fall in love with watches just to say I am now the proud owner of a Grand Seiko. Thanks for everything you guys do

I recently added an Omega Seamaster 41mm to my collection, but in the next case was the GS line and I was very... tempted. In the end I really had my heart set on a diver so I went with the Omega, but if they'd had that green dial SBGV245 I might have come home with two watches. Until you see a GS close-up you have no idea just how amazing the fit and finish is. It almost doesn't look real. The quartz is simply the best of its kind and the spring drive just glides. World-class.

I would absolutely consider it. Aside from the movements being absolutely top notch, the finish on cases and dials equals or exceeds most of the Swiss brands. As for quartz, there's a limited edition green dial GMT that uses a special aniversary version of the 9F movement that's accurate to 5 seconds a year which I'd happily own and wear. GS watches are incredibly underrated and given the level of watch you get, absolute bargains. At some point, more watch collectors are going to realise that. I hope to have a couple of my own before that happens.

10 seconds a year, that is some insane accuracy, only the Japanese are mad to imagine....

@Whiteboy14 I think you are conflating a mechanical/spring drive to an actual quartz (and battery) watch from GS.

I have considered it and when I had a choice between a Swiss watch and a Seiko, I ended up with a Seiko. And for the price, dollar for dollar, I ended up with a limited edition piece instead of a basic model swiss. I also believe that my Automatic Seiko movement is (like it was in the past) more if not just as accurate as Swiss movements today. It would be nice to get a nice Swiss watch, but I appreciate the accuracy of my quartz and automatic watch - now to save for a spring movement. Loved the video and you explained exactly how I feel about this brand - even when I own two of their pieces

That continuous sweep on the spring drives is so gorgeous. The Spring Drive Snowflake (SBGA211) is the one watch I want the most... someday I'll be able to get one, hopefully!

Even with ticking quartz, the hand lining up PERFECTLY with each tick is a thing to behold.

Having owned a number of rolex, tudor, JLC, sinn, omega and others, I can confidently say that, for me, the GS is the best of the lot. Best value - for the hand finishing and accuracy you get. Best looking - the 44 GS design is just gorgeous from all angles and makes you think just how lazy some Swiss producers are. How many rolex are cased identically? Best dials - come on, there's nobody like them, just look at he new white birch. If they ever manage to shave a couple of mm from the height and add a micro adjustment to the bracelet, then they really will rule the world. The new high beat and spring drive movements are unbelievable. More accurate than anything else, finished to ALS standards. Just next level stuff. I've now got three GS watches and I feel very lucky to have them.

@@pyeclam Thank you for your interest. The short answer to your question would be "Both, and then some." Disclaimer: The cause given to the decline of the British motorcycle industry depends a lot on who you ask, and my opinion is worth no more than the next guy's. It certainly can't be blamed on any one single event, but it is undeniable that the appearance around the beginning of the 1970s of inexpensive Japanese bikes that didn't leak oil, had better electrical systems and brakes, and benefited from advances in engine technology had a lot to do with that decline. (At the time, Triumph's flagship Bonneville was still powered by an engine largely unchanged from the engine Edward Turner developed in the '30s.) Add on Japan's development of mass production techniques, throw in labor problems in the UK manufacturers at the time... You see where this is going. The Japanese basically upped the game and the old guard, which really hadn't made significant improvements in decades, struggled to catch up. Don't get me wrong - I love Brit Bikes from that era and have owned several. Also, Triumph in particular has recovered well under the leadership of John Bloor and currently makes outstanding motorcycles. But for quite a while back then, when I really needed to go a long distance in a hurry I grabbed the keys to the Honda and left the Triumph in the garage.

In terms of perception, I see value in both the Swiss's and Japanese's approach to product creation....even if the discussion would be Omega vs Grand Seiko, and I'm glad that the two have differences while competing in the same space. It keeps things interesting and alive. It keeps both on their toes, and keeps them honest. Excellent review of the Brand here, and I do believe GS to be devastatingly heavy hitter in this realm, and I believe the general consensus is that people love and respect the brand.

Thanks for a very informative video on the Grand Seiko!! It is at the top of my Grail list......Rolex is not even on my list. Not that there is anything wrong with Rolex. They are awesome watches in their own right, and people buy them for their own personal reasons. I just feel like a "Follower" if I were to buy a Rolex. The technology, ingenuity, and horological history behind the Grand Seiko really speaks to me for some reason.

I've been buying them for 10 years, and they are exceptional. I've owned a mechanical one, currently own a springdrive, and starting to get really interested in getting a quartz, perhaps one of the SBGN GMT line.

The Japanese are simply some of the most organized and “competitive” culture to have existed. Once introduced to capitalism, they had some catching up to do. Their existing culture and values catapulted them forward in that economic system very quickly! They take the successful ideas of the world and somehow manage to make them BETTER and cost LESS

Tf r u talking about Japans population is overworked and their economy has been in stall for the last 2 decades w/ zero % interest rates and over 200% debt to GDP. USA is heading in the same direction.

The Japanese are definitely organized and detail oriented much like the Germans, which is why both countries make the best cars and have the best engineering. However, both countries have also invaded other countries and stole so much from them, which is why they were able to advance while the rest of the world was catching up from poverty and civil wars. Japan like the Europeans in general are too conservative, which is why they are not doing very good in next generation technologies like computers and AI. In that regard, the USA and China will dominate the world. I believe South Korea will come in close third even ahead of Japan because South Korea is very competitive and does not regard for the obsolete traditions unlike the Japanese or the Europeans. With everything that’s said, the future of the economy belongs to whoever adapts the fastest. There’s simply no room for traditions anymore. Tesla has already overtaken both the Japanese and the European automobile market. Apple Watch has already sold more than both Japan and Europe. The future is in the binary. No more samurai showdown or Rolex market that exists solely for the appearances sake.

Beautiful poetry is what you quoted. And that watch finishing is impeccable

This video is downright amazing, makes me wanna sell everything and go get a Grand Seiko. Its THAT convincing.

Grand Seiko is for me as an owner of a 4520-8000 is simply the best Watch Brand/ Watches in the World. I would everytime prefer a Grand Seiko against a Rolex. Except the Work of the Independents like Smith/Daniels/Prescher/AHCI members and others like Mbf etc.

A good video and accurately portrays things. I consider Lange, Seiko ahead of the rest with Casio leading from behind.

Thanks for the macroshots that truly show us the beauty of the beast.

Thank you so much for your videos . They are so informative . I love the history of watch making . I only have a Hamilton field automatic made in Switzerland . I do love it . Also love my Seiko presage and even my Sieko 5 . Thanks again .

GS reminds me of Lexus

I did considered and I bought it. The level of detail perfectly reflects the honesty and commitment Seiko has with his customers. It is difficult to express better that this video the level that GS is offering in comparison with the big Swiss brands.

The way that second hand just glides around the dial is orgasmic

Watching videos, reading, and looking at pictures had me considering Grand Seiko. Until I went to to the trouble of tracking down a dealer. They are not common. From the first one I saw it was clear no video, no picture, no review can do justice to the incredible sense of quality that exudes from a Grand Seiko. Not only the look, not just the incredible attention to detail, but even the feel and sound is exceptional, to the point it makes something as mundane as clasping one on an experience. First time ever when I tried a watch on and felt a genuine sense of loss when it was gone from my wrist. My Diver's 200M Spring Drive is at over 5 years still a pleasure. Best of all, you don't feel ostentatious wearing one, only the knowledgeable know, and you can always fly under the radar with, "Its just a Seiko." The perfect watch? Won't get no argument here.

The Only reason I would accept a Vacheron or AP instead of Grand Seiko would be to sell them immediately and buy 20 GSs instead. Wonderful watches, chuffed.

My own choice if I were willing and able to spend the premium for some high end mechanical bling (which is all a tourbillon is), would be the JLC Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon.

You KNOW the Swiss we’re talking all kinds of crazy shit, too. Then Seiko came around and mopped the floor with me lol.

I don't know if it's my fever or the quality of your cam, but the picture is so incredibly sharp that it feels like the watch is right there :o

These hi-def close-ups are mesmerizing! let alone those GSs

They were fantastic value about 10 years ago but, then again, so were A Lange & Sohne. Both brands I wish I'd bought more of a few years back to add to the collection. Have A GS SD GMT and I love it. The sapphire bezel is a particular delight.

Large and sohne are absolutely wild prices now eh? I've never lost money on a seiko. They practically were my bread and butter a few years ago. Spent days and nights on ebay, scouring joblots. Once a day I'd score a joblot with a seiko or casio that was worth flipping.

This video sealed it for me. You have the best watch channel on KZread

Every collection needs a Grand Seiko or two in it. Spring Drive. Brilliant work they're doing at Grand Seiko.

That second hand running without increments is hypnotic... I so want one!

Yes, I’d have the GMT automatic in the middle.

I hope you're enjoying that GS, Cool Hands LUC! I watched another video where you said you were able to pick one up for a steal. Congrats!

By far, this is one of the best video about grand seiko and its quartz movement. 👍👍👍
