I wear my GS on Saturday evenings. The kid has gone to bed, my pregnant wifey and I make a nice dinner and we open a bottle of wine. That I drink.

Your B roll is off the charts! Excellent video as always!

Subbed for the retro 80's bike ride. Stayed for the great review.

i did not expect such effort on bike montage on a watch video lmaooooo

Amazing video! “I heard that” 😂 and that bike ride 😂 !! Not to mention your reflection on the watch case 😂! Please don’t ever stop producing videos!

This channel is going to blow up. In a market where there was relatively low quality people like you are going to make it. This is what is happening to Bark & Jack and Jenni Elle too. Keep up the good work and stay consistent!

Just have to say that I enjoyed hearing about your views about this lovely watch. Thank you for taking the time to post it and for doing such a professional looking job. You come across really well and are easy to listen to.

Accidentally came across your channel, but I quite like this review 👍 I am a dress watches lover and I wear them most of the time, even with casual outfits, because wearing them always makes me happy.

Brandon, another incredible video. And man you had me with the "kick Ass Bike Rides" lol

One of the best fun and unique watch review videos out there. From the completely random bike sequence to the thumbs up in the zaratsu polishing. Awesome work. Greetings from Australia. Keep up the great work 👍

Another amazing review! Love the bike ride sequence lol! Grand Seiko is definitely a grail for me :)

Great video, thank you for your effort and passion. Also 4:29 was an absolute delight, I usually worry about capturing myself as a reflection in my photography and I couldn't stop laughing at this. Fantastic haha.

This was very entertaining! Visually stunning too. Really great job!

I'm so glad I'm not the only watch/bike nerd on earth.

Your review during Covid influenced me to buy this watch a few years back. Still got it, still love it. I recently fell in love with some of the GS quartz offerings. Addictions.

I love your edits - this was so entertaining! Big shoutout for the music choice aswell!

I have an SBGV225 Quartz that I wear with sweats, in my pajamas and with jeans and a tee-shirt. It's like wearing my own personal, portable work of art. Going out to the curb to get the mail? Wear the watch . . . it's f'ing gorgeous!

I just love how they kept beating the Swiss so hard that they shut down 2 accuracy trials to save face, GS for the win

Wow, your quality is incredible! I love all of your videos so far, and you are one of the best new watch channels! I am so glad I discovered your channel- coming from a total watch fanatic!

Coming from Crown and Caliber due to a raffle. Watched this video first. I will definitely come back and watch all the other vids on your channel.

Amazing video. I’m Japanese and so grateful that you love Grand Seiko.

Great video! Bike riding intermission was awesome! I had a SGBM221 but sold it for the very reason you talked about. Great video work in capturing the amazing level of finish on this watch.

I love the tone, puts the stoic self importance of the urban gentry to shame, smashed it bro

“Kick ass bike ride” sequence alone had me looking for your patreon!! Freaking brilliantly fresh take on how to do a watch review. Creative A-game brought across the whole set. KZfaq Watch reviewers... watchout!!

You need to post more videos, man. This is entertaining as hell.

The watch got me to click on the video but the bike ride segment got me to subscribe. Love it

I own a Grand Seiko and wear it everyday - even with sweats. You should do the same thing.

Very nice. I honestly think Grand Seiko makes sone of the best GMTs in the business. Very clear and clean designs that don’t make it look like a sport watch.

Love your videos, the humour and light hearted nature make them so easy and fun to watch. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another great video!!! Loved the bike ride. I have the same problem with my dress watches. While staying inside I rotate them every other day - my lovely wife thinks I'm crazy wearing my Rolexs in sweats pants and t shirt LOL.

I was thinking the same thing with my SPB085 when the stay at home orders started. After a certain point though, I stopped caring. I threw caution to the wind and started to wear that dress watch with my gym clothes while lounging at home. I've turned into a madman.

Great video, fantastic watch and a very relaxed and refreshing approach to a watch review, though unlike some other comments, I also enjoy TGV. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.

You are a skilled artist, please keep on doing what you’re doing! Loving it! 👍🏼

You've really upped your production game! Great video!

Awesome Vid!! This quality of vid will blow up in no time!

Thanks. I'll never be able to afford a Grand Seiko but I can enjoy your take on the watch and that someday we'll all be able to wear that special watch, whatever it is, in public. With real people. Thanks for the reminder that this will end.

You're right - GS's are even better in person! I took a gamble ordering an SBGN003 without seeing it in person...but my god is it amazing in every way! One thing I would say is, because the finishing is SO good, it shows scratches easily.

A year later and still one of favorites dials.

Thanks for the awesome message , you have no idea how much it resonates with me. Aaaaand I’ve added this to my futre buy list because of this video. Keep it up!!

Looking good there John Oates

Working from home I found myself wearing less expensive easy to read watches but my favorite are GMTs. The GMT function provides an added bonus of tracking two time zones, true, but can work just as a regular 3-handed would. I have friends and vendors I deal with in other countries so I can use my gmt to track their time too, even if I’m not traveling. Also owning a GMT somehow makes me want to plan a trip, go exploring and see the world so while it might be hard to travel it’s still possible. Anyway, while this is a dressy watch it wearable with a t-shirt and jeans, so no reason why you couldn’t keep it in the cycle even if it’s worn once a week, especially given it’s significance. I wish my wife would buy me a GS, but she’s not that attuned to my preferences. The plus side of that for me however is I can buy whatever I want and she doesn’t notice lol! Enjoy your watch, gotta love Grand Seiko!

Thank You for such a great review of this watch. I am pleased to say I have just ordered one, can’t wait 👍

Music and b roll so on point!

Everything in this video is so crisp and well done. Nice editing! most especially, lovely watch

Love your editing man! Beautiful piece!!

Great transitions and graphics. Really fun video!!

I love your solid reviews w. a bit of casual madness sprinkled here and there. Subscribed...🖖

I too own a Grand Seiko and enjoy kick ass bike rides

Nice strap. Awesome video! Thanks for the content. Finally something different, thanks!

Great video mate. Really enjoyed your perspective on it!

One word for GS: RESPECT

Man this video was really entertaining definitely enjoyed it. 👍

I tried this watch in the store yesterday. Im gonna own it one day. Great review.

Awesome review, Great music and cutscenes!

Amazing video Brandon! I loved the quality of video, editing, and sense of humor! I hope to see more videos soon

I wear my sbga211g everyday! even Sundays while I'm in pajamas at home watching TV (my gf doesn't understand this) everytime I look at it, it puts a smile on my face 😀 no extra reasons needed to wear this watch!

Your grand seiko brought me to your channel. Cool vids my man keep it up. They'll go viral soon!

One of very few genuinely funny and honest reviewers! 10/10 on the effort level too, keep it up!

this is exactly what I expect someone who own a grandseiko to be like

That bike ride montage was a thing of beauty. Haha well done sir!

Production value: A+

Came for the SBGM221 and subscribed for the kick-ass bike rides.

debating between this and the black bay 58 for my first watch. Luckily you have video reviews on both! instant sub

I think the only thing holding this presentation back is that the slow mo could have been a tad slower. Just sayin. But nah man great video, love the vibe! New sub, and let's hope you're rockin that beautiful piece sooner rather than later

Cool channel, I just bought the SBGJ217 last week, similar looking. These are great for daily use typing away on a laptop since its a smaller watch and since its on strap it doesnt get in the way. I tried wearing my 2 tone submariner while typing, the clasp rubs against the edge of the keyboard and adds one micro scratch after another which plays on your mind - the harder I work, the more scratches I add to my Rolex making it depreciate in value ! ha! So GS makes for a cool watch to own for sure. The limited editions keeps the value a bit better but if you keep the watch for many years..who really cares. Im a digital nomad and work from home but just bought the watch to impress myself (and the lady in 7 Eleven), its a bit like fine art me thinks.

3 years later and Grand Seiko still isn't offering their 9SA5 in a watch half as beautiful as that one.

Love your fun way of video editing, a break from uptight watch reviews. Great work! Hope your channel grows!

had to subscribe. Dude, you are a natural. great video...

My two favourite things in the world are Grand Seiko and Drugs!!

Fantastic review, your production quality really does the Grand Seiko justice! I share the exact sentiment about my SARB033. Can't wait for the day I get to wear it again.

I subscribed even tho I am not into seiko watch. I like your sense of humor in the video. Cheers.

Last month I bought a 1990's 18k gold Zenith Chronomaster Moonphase, a very dressy watch which I wear while my outfit is jeans and a t-shirt, sitting in front of my PC at home (except I had to send the watch to the watchmaker for some issues). It doesn't matter how sloppy you dress, you can always wear a dress watch!

Beautiful watch! Great gift!

Great video, keep'em coming

This video, nearly the most fun you can have on your own. Enjoyed kick ass, love the watch.

I have this watch and I love it. Wish it had the spring drive movement and the number in the date window looks to sit a little high. I that just me?

Cool editing my dude and this is why I prefer sporty-dress watches that work with everything. I'd definitely keep a GS though. Especially a gift. But I have to say, you made me jump and stop the video a second with that transition on the kick-ass bike scene and it's high sound volume, please man, have mercy ;)

Nice job; very informative. I especially liked finding out the meaning of "Zaratsu". I always thought it was the name of some Japanese Master performing metal work in their 100,000 year traditional manner. Not so much. Thanks again.

I've watched this video a few times already. Each time to convince myself (even more) that this will be my next GS hahaha

Bought a sbga229 2 months ago Awesome watch

great channel bud 👍🏼 great content, stylistically well made videos, humorous, and gotta admit: pleasant voice to listen to! ... keep it up. got yourself a new subscriber 👋🏼

0:45 into the video and I subbed. Love the intro vibe.

Just discovered your channel. Bike scene = instant subscribe. Please keep the vids coming!

Spring Drive technology is analogous to Prius (hybrid)?

used to own an SBGA373 but sold it to get another GS that ended up being a phony listing. Currently waiting for my birthday to get this SBGM221 and god dang the quality of your video made me even more excited! Though I do think your shots missed a lot of the blue. That's normal though because zaratsu is KNOWN to show up as black often on cameras

Definitely a special watch!

How is your content so good! I'm here before you blow up! Keep it up! Btw, one of my grails. Cheers!!

Great take on GS, on it strengths, and also on the cons such as the movement finishing here- Just, please, balance the volume of the music talking better. If I have to decrease volume by 50% for a music bit, it detracts from the otherwise well made video.

What a beautiful watch, an amazing gift indeed

Don't sweat the 221's movement aesthetic. Over time, with their beautiful new movements will continue to popularize their brand, and these early pre-hi-beat movements will become exceedingly desirable for their glimpse into the earlier days of the brand's modern rebirth.

Instant sub. Great video, mate!

What are you using to get such great macro shots and video of that beautiful GS? Nice work!

Great video man!

Do grand Seiko hold value? I'm looking at buying this watch but want to know if it's a good investment

Who needs a Rolex when you have this beauty. For now he is my choice for "high tier Japanese luxury watch."

Thanks for this video.... Great help in comparing

Thank you for the great content! I love drilled lugs too. What are the minor issues tho?

Lionel Richie.. is that you..? Hello... haha Nice vid mate! GS is always a bit of a difficult watch to me, they are technical superior and the details are astonishing, but they always look a kind of boring to me.. ps. i dont agree on the lug holes, instead all the straps should have a quick release ;)

Love the Soul Glo lol great vid and review

Love your ending remarks, here's to normalcy
