In today's review we take a closer look at a really unique yet stunningly elegant and sophisticated Grand Seiko 9F-quartz-watch. This watch features 200 meters of water resistance, a beautifully finished and designed case together with a legible, yet stunning to look at dial. Powering the watch is the highly revered 9F82-quartz movement. Which features a whole plethora of design and engineering innovations that make it one of the best quartz movements in the world.

It’s amazing. I bought the SBGN005 blue dial and was debating for a while if I wanted one quartz watch. By the time i got done thinking he limited yellow sold out!!!! Amazing piece. It’s accurate as hell. I love watching the second hand land on the markers. In slow motion you can see the twin synchro regulator at work also! Great watches

The ultimate GS quartz is the SBGF021 (or 019, 017) with the 8J56 movement, independent hour adjust with 5 year battery life. It´s the movement Seiko doesn´t want you to know about because it is way better than the 9F but more expensive to produce

I think you laboured the point about the crown positions, said “fantastic” or “great” a hundred times or more, spoke fleetingly about its accuracy... There are so many specifics (and descriptors) like the Zaratsu polishing, metal hardness / need to polish, battery replacement requirements, history of Grand Seiko, other Sports line pieces from GS, other competitors like the Explorer 1 (?)... ...I just didn’t learn anything at all, and I think this watch in particular could do with a better write up. Hope this is taken as constructive, with no offence intended.

How ever that may be, which sources you direct yourself too to learn about a criteria of a item you are interested in. He did a good review. Im satified. Good quality camera. You can hear his voice just fine. An he showed the watch perfectly, an gave a bonus on showing the drilled lugs an different watch straps that can be worn, on the watch itself. Give positivity instead of negativity because he will improve with postivity an grow an be more defined with his future videos because of it.......

While I somewhat agree, the 9F is a different animal. 50 year service intervals, serviceable/repairable so it will last multiple lifetimes, more hand finishing and regulation than most mechanical movements, it's really in a class of it's own. I would have no problem wearing a 9F based watch and be happy to explain my decision to anyone who brought it up.

Similarly they both offer function and reliability in the modern age. I have a montblanc rollerball and it makes much more sense than having a fountain pen. If I saw a man take out a fountain pen in my profession I would think he was a pretentious knob! I don’t own a high end quartz but I like the idea of having a grab and go watch in the collection and could see a Gs serving that purpose well.
