Is the Grand Seiko SBGN027 the Ultimate Quartz Watch?

The Grand Seiko SBGN027 is a near perfect watch and possibly the best everyday wear high accuracy quartz GMT you can buy in 2024. Aside from the lack of micro adjust on the bracelet and none colour matched date wheel, there is not really much to dislike about this watch (and even those are just small niggles).

    Do you prefer the high accuracy quartz or spring drive options from GS? Let me know in the comments below!

    GS have three compelling movements, you have to include the high beat as well. If they are able to put the tentagraph into a smaller package that would be good. Hopefully 2024 will be the year of the braclet! If they fix that I will have a 9F GMT in my collection, I like it on the Artem strap, really works.

    Great review. There is a compelling argument that all traveler’s GMT’s should be quartz and make a great pick up and go

    Thanks Mark! I definitely think both the 9F series and spring drive are game changers especially for GMT’s 😎

    Picked this up today, your review really helped and for me it’s perfect as I exclusively wear my watches on straps and was lucky enough to get a very unique grand Seiko strap / buckle thrown in as part of the deal

    I just Bought the SBGN029 and Love the Quartz movement by GS, I also am waiting for The limited edition Spring Drive SBGE305 GMT. SO I am very much looking forward to acquiring that piece. I’m sure I will love it equally.

    Love a GS GMT I prefer the spring drive but the High Accuracy quartz is just as good in my opinion!

    Micro adjust aside do you find the bracelet as good a quality as the watch overall, i know some people have been critical of the bracelet.

    Good question, to be honest I don’t mind it as a whole. It’s definitely not setting the world on fire and I can see why some people really don’t like it (some would say the bracelet maybe at odds with the case), but I like the finishing.

    I had the 003 and the bracelet was pretty good. Maybe the best of the 15 or so GS I have owned. Yes, it would be better with micro adjust on the fly, but it is the only GS that I did wear on the bracelet. That said, the Artem and this swatch were made for each other and I am shortly to push the button on the 027 after seeing them matched on this video.

    I picked this up and was torn between my local UK AD or a Japanese grey dealer to save a bit. However having been screwed by the grey market previously I went to my local AD. Paying 200 / 300 pounds more to get that piece of mind is worth it to me.
