4 years ago or so I purchased the SBGA375 Spring Drive timepiece for $4,500 from Feldmar Watch in LA. That was $700 below MSRP. It's a stunner. Sometimes I just sit down and look at the dial through a loupe and admire its beautiful details. Nothing quite like the smooth seconds hand sweep.
It's baffling to me how the Grand Seiko line flies under the radar as one of the top tier watches considering that they are technically one of the most innovative watchmakers and crafting's that rivals the Holy Trinity of watches and yes Rolex. Just my opinion though.
@@LagerPetrol409 It's been a while since I've worn mine and I've forgotten that I wasn't crazy about the bracelet. I wasn't a fan of the lightweight titanium too, but I grew into it.
At the price, the bracelets are less techy. And I still have one because their dials/finishing matter more to me. It’s Japanese. Traditional horology has no association to Japan. Seiko of the past may be akin to electric vehicles now - a generally better product with a couple faults, but very anti-tradition.
I've owned this watch for almost 2 years now. It did not disappoint especially when it comes to accuracy. The drilled lugs are a dream when I have to replace the bracelet with a strap. This is my first GS spring drive purchase and am quite happy with it.
I would, and did, go with one of their 9F models. The quartz is super practical and wears thin and light, and you still get all the finishing etc of GS without paying 5x more for a bigger chunkier watch
Because of Teddy, and my 60th bday and the blue bezel and all I have had a SBGP015 for the last 3 years. My daily wearer. Unbelievable. It has not lost a second of time! If I have to change the battery every three years -- so be it, this watch is a part of me. The other features like the Dual Pulse Control Motor and independent hour hand and backlash Auto-Adjust Mechanism are just magnificent. However, I plan to get a spring drive for retirement next year -- for Respect.
@@thenotanclan yeah I would say it is. It’s the safest most practical watch to get. Most of them work in any situation, never need maintenance outside of a battery and gasket swap every few years. What’s not to love, just a solid reliable watch
I've always loved Seiko's. All of the watches in my collection that weren't received as gifts are all Seiko, Orient, and now Grand Seiko. I recently bought a Spring Drive GMT sports watch from Teddy's website after having been a fan of his content for a long time. I had a great customer service experience that is atypical for web or internet sales. A representative personally reached out to me via email and introduced himself, thanked me for my order, and offered to help if anything wasn't to my liking. What a class act! I love my new watch and I know where I'll be going for my next one. I almost bought a Snowflake, but I wanted to add a GMT watch to my collection.
There is also the Seiko Kinetic movement, also a hybrid mechanical-quartz movement, but much more simple and less expensive than the Spring drive. I love the feel of the rotor in a quartz watch.
I've recently gotten into Seiko's automatic watch (been using Seiko quartz before) and after watching this video, now I want to get my hands on Spring Drive watches from Seiko!
After looking at all the pieces on Grand Seikos website I came across this piece. For the money it’s an incredible value with that Spring Drive. After I recover from buying my Oris Aquis I think I will go for this piece.
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
This is another beautiful watch from the 9R65 collection. It doesn’t have a blue seconds hand, it doesn’t have a titanium bracelet (the stainless steel bracelet looks a lot better), it has a closed case back with the GS lion, it has a different dial design, and the power reserve is not recessed into the dial; IT STILL IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY! It is an easy alternative to the Snowflake without any compromises and at a better price point.
I *love* the spring drive concept. The silky smooth sweep is so captivating to watch. As others have mentioned, GS is really underrated in what they deliver. That said, I hope they don't suddenly become so popular they lose their value position ;-)
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Spring drive, fully brushed bracelet with screw pins, and a beautiful textured dial for under 5k is incredible. Value aside this is one of the better looking GS dials I’ve seen especially with the painted power reserve indicator rather than the version cut into the dial. GS bracelets while they don’t have micro adjustment are very comfortable on wrist.
I got mine about 2 years ago. I tracked its accuracy, wore it for straight 9 months and it only deviated 35 seconds from my phone's time. on average 1 second a week. it is incredible.
Got a snowflake two years ago. Terrific watch - my weekday work choice. Bracelet sizing was a bit fiddy until I settled on a setting - not an issue after a few weeks. Looks nice on a dark blue leather strap too. Dead accurate - about minus 1-2 seconds a month.
I own the 467 (inky black dial variant) and it is easily one of my favorites. A GS that ticks so many boxes while maintaining class leading quality and a crazy good price. Hard to beat. Highly recommended. And yes….the bracelet is super comfortable and high quality (milled not stamped) only drawback is no micro-adjust.
I have a spring drive GS. My watch is +/- one second per month. It's incredible how accurate it is. It's what got me into watches. That being said I don't see the point of a watch that's not accurate so my watch buying started and ended with the spring drive 🤣
I love the blue Snowflake and I'm going to purchase one when I have a little money to play with. It's a beautiful shade of snow blue and I love the blue accent on the power reserve. God Bless.
What are the service requirements of a spring drive watch? Since you’ve removed the pallet fork and escape wheel that doesn’t necessarily decrease the need to lubricate the jewels on the train of wheels and their associated pivots.
Call the dealer see if you can actually get parts or service for seiko- I found service or parts impossible, but my experience my be different than yours.
Although discontinued, I own a SBGA 285 with 9R65 spring drive. I believe it's now replaced with SBGA 467. I like mine since it's 39mm in diameter as opposed to the new 40mm. It's still keeping perfect time, and I even don't mind the bracelet. I know it's somewhat contentious with no micro adjustment for a luxury watch but it's very comfortable and fits my wrist perfectly.
I bought a SBGA083 which is 95% identical to this apart from the 083 having single bigger indices at 12, 6 & 9. The dial has Seiko at 12 and GS Grand Seiko at 6, before Grand Seiko became independent from Seiko. Beautiful sunburst dial with the same 9R65 movement for way under 2K if you haven't got 5K to buy this one.
A gorgeous watch (as usual from Grand Seiko). But the power complication location often makes the hands look like hooks. It’s annoying like a fly crawling across film (showing my age). But thanks for the clear explanation on drives. It helps a lot when pricing watches. Though it’s a crime we can see Grand Seiko’s beautiful drives on the back (and I usually hate Skeleton watches). I can’t imagine how it work but I would like some jewels on the front.
Look at the Seiko Astron. Yes it is quartz watch, but has a solar cell in the watch face AND a GPS receiver. A timepiece by which you can set all others....
Ive always wanted to have a Gs. But the price was not attainable for me. It gave me hope when i saw the video but once Teddy mentioned the price. I stopped the video and cried.
My friend. You can have a GS of your choice, but it will take a tremendous amount of discipline in dealing with your financial expenses. When I was around 14 years young, I saved my nickels & pennies so to speak and by the time I reached 16, I was able to buy my first Rolex Submariner which were $2,000. Now this was in the 80s although this now sounds insanely inexpensive but for those days? they were ridiculously expensive. You can buy a GS but are you willing to save up for it is the question. I believe you can.
Teddy, I discovered your videos recently and I really like them. I have a question: I know you aren't a big fan of Citizen, but I really like them. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on their Carson series. I don't own one but have been considering it for a while. I'd love to know what you think. Thank You
Having years with Seiko, I"m ready to make the jump to GS, but not straight to spring drive models. I would really like to see some content on the entry level quartz 9F models. I'm just not seeing much discussion on the web for those models. Why is that? Are they any good?
Grand Seiko SBGA467, is around 3500 it's the same as this watch that you're showing Teddy but it has a black dial I think I like the black dial better sbga 463 is also pretty sweet really cool dive watch but that's over 5,000 I wish Grand Seiko had a dive watch that had Spring Drive and was under $5,000
Para mi, el mecanismo Spring Drive de Seiko es el mejor de todos, sobrepasando a cualquier mecanismo suizo, no por lo complejo, si no por lo hermoso del movimento
Spring drive is brilliant, and as a mechanical engineer in an electronics world I very much appreciate what’s going on inside. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find anything on their horribly slow website, and it seems if I want Spring Drive, three hands, no date, and no power reserve distraction on the dial I need to turn to a life of crime.
well if you looked at there website 1 off the first thing they show is the upcoming watch with your requirements SBGY0035 and if you just look at springdrive i counted like 11 other watches but sure
It is a beautiful watch but can we mention the accuracy again ? I have VH31 movement pieces from Aliexpress bought for less than £80 apiece which all manage to run within 1.5 seconds per week. This spring drive watch does not appear to bring anything extra to the table despite costing almost 50x as much...
Just looked into the GS website and realized they increased the price. I love GS but 10k is a bit too much as I was planning to buy the new manual movement white birch.
I bought the black dial variant the 467 and it is my substitute for the date just. The only thing this lacks is lume which would make it 10/10 for me. But then again, lume would distract from the elegance of the design
I was looking at Spring Drives a couple of years ago (I already had the SBGA413), and the cheapest ones were under $4000 ($3800 IIRC). Then overnight they discontinued them and release near identical "new" models (they were 1mm bigger, which is a downgrade in my book), which cost $1000 more.
Hear me out. I love Seikos. My whole collection is Seikos, apart from a few watches. I even love the look of the Grand Seiko but because I dont have lots of money to purchase lots of $4-5k watches, it will have to be one good watch in the future. With that said, I could never dream of spending that much on a Grand Seiko. It would have to be a Breitling or a Longines instead. I feel my SARB033 is a decent ode to the GS. I just couldnt pass over a Breitling Navitimer for a Grand Seiko.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the MAMACOO has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
2:20 you’ve used that animation many times. But why is the pallet fork not rotating at the pivot of the pallet fork? It looks like the animator didn’t know that there is a pivot.
I know, not the same clientele but I like my SNXS79 more: 1st more beautiful dial, 2nd you can see the movement. Actually I would not buy a mechanical watch if you can't even see the movement, except for divers watches. Also, purchasing a watch for over 5K and not having micro adjustments on the bracelet is...bad. Just my 2 cents.
I bought this watch on a whim 2 years ago. The dial is absolutely beautiful in person
Same colour?
@@leithraymant8007 Yeah the same exact one
How can you buy something this price on a whim😭

I have the SBGA413 Shunbun. I frequently watch the silky smooth sweep of the second hand. GS dials are mesmerizing, too.

Their bracelets let down, especially clasp.

It’s Japanese. Traditional horology has no association to Japan.

Easy it’s not made by white people
A new Teddy video with my coffee and Casio means it’s gonna be a good day!

I bought my first spring drive (Lake Suwa 9RA2) because of Teddy's videos.
I treated myself to a GS on my birthday and I love it. I would not trade it for anything else.
This is one of the most beautiful watches ever

So well done Teddy. Thank you.
What are the service requirements of a spring drive watch?
Since you’ve removed the pallet fork and escape wheel that doesn’t necessarily decrease the need to lubricate the jewels on the train of wheels and their associated pivots.
gs recommends every 3 4 years but ive heard people that never serviced them and they still run
Call the dealer see if you can actually get parts or service for seiko- I found service or parts impossible, but my experience my be different than yours.
Very much considered. Still to pull the trigger on my 40th bday piece with this and the navy face version being strong contenders.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

Appreciate the photography. I sort of dismissed Grand Seiko because of the product images. This is a really beautiful watch.

I bought a SBGA083 which is 95% identical to this apart from the 083 having single bigger indices at 12, 6 & 9. The dial has Seiko at 12 and GS Grand Seiko at 6, before Grand Seiko became independent from Seiko. Beautiful sunburst dial with the same 9R65 movement for way under 2K if you haven't got 5K to buy this one.
Bucket list watch. I have to pace myself. Thanks
Love it, but a smaller and thinner model would be awesome (for me and my small wrist)
looks good, nice little details work well, maybe a touch understated....love the spring drive.....hows the quality and durability of the bracelet??
Confused between nomos neomatik 37mm and this grand seiko, should I spend a little extra and go for GS instead ?
I was actually looking into a sping drive GS to be a daily. I am more interested in the black dial SBGA467. The white dial resembles my SLGH013.
Lovely watches and great level if functionality
My biggest concern about GS and the Spring Drive is future availability of parts for repair. If GS stops producing the movement you are stuck.
Why would Seiko stop making the Spring Drive??? Best innovation in mechanical watches in the last century. People love it............
Personally have tried on both 44GS and 62Gs cases and prefere the 62GS. If the made the SBGH273 in a spring drive, I'd already own it 😜😜
I own gs gmt and love it ❤
is the Seiko 5 Sports SSK023 a good first watch? I'm looking for a everyday watch that I can wear with just about anything
You can wear anything you want. People won't generally notice
Amazing piece of art and technologies and nit overproced like swiss overvalued stuff

Between Nomos Frederique constant and Mido which brand you recommend the most below 1000€?
Quartz downside: External battery source
Any solar watch and seiko kinetic: Knock knock
Kinetic watches are like dogs; you need to walk them every day.
@@fhujfSo true. One of the annoying movements.
Look at the Seiko Astron. Yes it is quartz watch, but has a solar cell in the watch face AND a GPS receiver. A timepiece by which you can set all others....
When people are saying AMZWATCH is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
Spring Drive is better than all.
What is the difference between spring drive and kinetic direct drive?
Great watch instead of a DJ, add GMT complication and get a sbge285 my fave (besides my sbgm221)
interesting! please do a similar video about the bulova precionist, so cool
How does the spring drive movement compare on need for frequency of servicing?

How about the spring drive like smooth movement with solar power?!
Teddy,
I discovered your videos recently and I really like them. I have a question: I know you aren't a big fan of Citizen, but I really like them. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on their Carson series. I don't own one but have been considering it for a while.

I bought the black dial variant the 467 and it is my substitute for the date just. The only thing this lacks is lume which would make it 10/10 for me. But then again, lume would distract from the elegance of the design
Thoughts on the SBGW291G ?
Very informative video. I think the name Grand Seiko holds them back. Would Lexus sell as many cars if they were called Grand Toyota?

It looks like the animator didn’t know that there is a pivot.
so is a spring drive definitely 8x per second and not 10x a sec?
Why do they horse around with quartz and automatic when they have the hybrid spring drive. I don't understand.

Killer dial
What if GS changes the boring looking cases and add some new shapes, squares, octagons 😅
Breakfast vid. Gonna be a good day.
So why does an automatic quartz need to cost 10 X more than solar quartz?
All of Grand Seiko’s hour markers are batons except for one model. It gets tiring eventually. How about some more Arabic and round hour markers?
