Not a fan of quartz, but I would totally own a Grand Seiko quartz. I mean they literally grow their own crystals!

I love my 9F. I would honestly prefer it over the spring drive I own. Something about having a watch that is always spot on is very appealing to me.

Thanks for this video. A GS quartz isn't just another typical quartz watch you can buy for a tenner. They even grow their own synthetic quartz crystals in-house. There's a lot more going on with them than you might initially realize.

So is this the reason Casio uses an automatic hand correction on some of their watches? I think it's called tough movement. I have a couple cheaper Casio Edifice that have a manual hand correction if the hands should become off centered.

Spending luxury money on a quartz watch makes absolutely zero sense to me.

@werdsup 4 ай бұрын

Spending luxury money on a mechanical watch that drifts terribly compared to even the cheapest quartz movement epitomizes pointlessness though. This is a smart person's watch. Luxury watches can hold value, etc but at the end of the day they're just jewellery or retro nostalgia.

What do I think? When I hear people like yourself talking straight, I learn something. I wear a Pulsar 100m chronograph with the second hand at the nine o'clock sub dial, bought used for thirty dollars, three years ago. It has a large second hand for the stopwatch that counts fifths of a second, plus sub dials for minutes in stopwatch mode and an alarm. I also think that a second hand is mostly useless except to show that the watch is still ticking, because sometimes when I look at the time, I think "it's been hours, my watch has failed". Then I see the tiny second hand move, and am reassured that it's not new battery time yet, just a long day.

@MinuteMon 4 ай бұрын

Ok then what brand would make a heavier hand set to reduce battery life without solving the battery life issue

@michaellu8879 6 ай бұрын

This is not completely true and may have miss the biggest point. Quartz movement can move big second hand, it just needs more torque, thus requires a bigger coil assembly, and you guessed it, consumes more power. This is not an issue on modern quartz watches like casio that can get power from onboard solar panel. The problem is 9f is a *thin* movement, with some watch under 10mm, minus case and dial space, leaves little vertical space for the movement, so the coil has to be small and compact. By utilizing the double ticking trick and backslash control it prolonged battery life for quite a bit.

@marc4143 5 ай бұрын

@@wanderer1125 tbh I thought you’re a troll at first but you’ve given fair points so far, props to you. Though Arnold owned the seiko prior using it in the Predator movie, so it’s his own collection. I think the people that you refer who thinks seiko is a joke is mainly because Seiko caters from top to bottom, and people of course mainly know the cheap and mass produced ones like the seiko 5s. Because of that, Seiko and its brands (GS, Credor, Orient, etc) doesn’t have the “exclusivity” that some people want. The wealthy people you refer to maybe wants to have something that not everyone has, even though something like a credor eichi ii costs 53K. Perhaps they think “why would I want to wear a 53K watch under the same brand that sells 200 eur watches?” But I personally think that’s a weird view since you shouldn’t buy something that is only good for everyone else to see. Anyways my point is seiko has a long history beating Rolex but caters for everyone with their price range. This makes it less desirable for people who want exclusivity by brand. But I suggest you go to a GS boutique and see their watches irl, it’s amazing what you get for the price they’re offering.
