@Kyro Stefon By utilizing radial friction instead of sliding friction at the impulse surfaces the coaxial escapement significantly reduces friction, theoretically resulting in longer service intervals and greater accuracy over time.
@@greenerick Having both unfortunately doesn't stop you buying more watches. I cant stop buying watches. In the past 2 years almost one watch every 2 weeks. It is an addiction.
Very good video, love this topic! I didn't know you had made such video when I uploaded my video last week about whether accuracy matters.... funny how we were thinking along the same lines. I also feel accuracy is secondary to other considerations. It should be somewhat decent but that also depends on the watch. And by the way, I also stopped setting the time on Seiko Sumo long ago! Happy enough if the minute is correct.
Thanks for your comment! It means a lot coming from someone like you. Accuracy can be a cool feature, but it alone isn’t enough for me. I own an old JLC Atmos clock, which loses about 3 minutes every day. Doesn’t bother me in the least, since the watch itself is just so cool. I also happen to like the watch from Haldimann, which takes it to the extreme and, while still measuring it, doesn’t tell time AT ALL (the Haldimann H9 Reduction).
It's all about the craftmanship of making an accurate watch, and it certainlay isn't overrated in any way! It's about basics of watchmaking. And it's called "timekeeping" ! it's as simple as that:)
Interesting point of view. I would say however, that at the prices asked for so-called luxury watches, a certain degree of accuracy is to be expected. I for one still use my watches to tell the time and have found that any automatic watch from a quality brand will be precise enough. You`re right in that we do not really live by the second. Any deviation under a minute a day will get you where you have to be on time. And that, in my opinion, is an argument against quartz or other electronic timepieces. They only add to the consumer electronics junk, being outdated and thrown away after a couple of years. The mechanical watch is not that old fashioned because of it`s longevity and independence of updates, batteries etc. Whether that is worth the money you`ll spend is another thing.
Hi Holger, thanks for your detailed comment. I have to agree with you that at a certain price point watches should at least be somewhat accurate, not so much because accuracy itself is important (these days) but because it reflects care and attention / engineering resources spent by the manufacturer.
Is that speedy bracelet on GS? And sorry to say but i feel you should try some other strap or bracelet with GS may be the loose watch is making it look different.
I am 21 now and in 2018 when I was getting vintages i used to check the accuracy at that extent what u r expecting trust me it annoyed me. And what you told about GS i guess i need a cal 0100.
As a self-proclaimed accuracy nut you should consider treating yourself to a Spring Drive or even one of Grand Seikos quartz models at some point, they don’t disappoint. Thanks for your support!
A bit off topic, I have the skyflake and absolutely love it but I enjoy my stop2go more for some reason😁at least I’m not paranoid when I’m wearing it. Good show. Very good channel. Keep it up, pal
The Skyflake is amazing! Congrats on such a stunning piece. But yeah, I‘m wearing my Seiko SKX as I‘m writing this and looking down at it almost gives me the same amount of pleasure as my GS, plus I‘m never worried about scratching it. Thanks for the praise! More videos are on the way. :)
Great analysis on time and “perfect timekeeping”. I have often thought about that way Plank described the beat rate of the universe and how thus mechanical watches might actually be the better representation of the passage of time as opposed to the spring drive models which upon first thought seem to be the most accurate representation of times pasage
So nice to see you again here in my comment section. :) Seems like we have similar thoughts about the nature of time. As far as I understand it is still kind of unclear in physics whether our universe actually has a „beat rate“ or whether reality is a continuous flow of time. I would bet on the beat rate though ;)
Oh and let me know whether you will pull the trigger on the Milgauss :) So far I have been impressed by mine. Only possible drawbacks are the weight, the relative thickness and the hands being a little bit small in my opinion (during the night it is kind of hard to read the time). But all in all it is a darn cool watch… Will be posting a review sometime soon :)
For sure! I will have to look more into that. My professors seem pretty convinced that things in fact do disappear from one specific location and then instantly reappear somewhere else as opposed to moving smoothly. I forget the exact experiments that they cited to prove this though. However I would not be surprised if physicists have not come to a consensus yet
Oh right on! I look forward to seeing that review then! Yes I definitely will buy one. I had been talking with my AD to get one in about two years when I earn my masters - however by then they will likely update the movement so I may have to see if I am able to get one earlier, maybe when I get my first scientific publication
I wear watches for accuracy. There is high end radio wave and HAQ. Citizen 5 sec per year. I do wear watches for the actual function and need them to be dead on.
Oh wow, so you are one of these people who actually use watches for what they were originally meant for. Very cool. May I ask whether your profession requires this extreme degree of accuracy?
@@watchesinthewild8276 Yes. I work at pharmacy and we run against the clock all the time to meet "promised times" My boss would get on me for a single minute difference. At the same time in everyday life I want it to be dead on or at least no more than a 10 second difference. I got in to watches years ago because I needed a watch to know the time. We wear gloves a lot at pharmacy and we cant be touching our phones because of cross contamination. I rely on my watch a lot. I also had big inconveniences because my watch was 1 hr wrong when daylight savings time changed. I appreciate high end gps/radiowave watches. They are never wrong, including the day and date.
Hello sir, I'm sorry to ask but what is the watch reference ? It looks like SBGA413/415 but with a gold-ish second hand and sky-blue "cloud" dial. Thanks & I'll make sure to watch the video entirely ! Couldn't help but ask a minute within ^^
Haha sure, it‘s the SBGA435, an edition produced for the Chinese market and limited to 182 pieces - a rather obscure reference. I have a little review about it on this channel (first video).
@@watchesinthewild8276 Thanks for your reply ! And congrats for acquiring this beautiful limited piece ! Fun fact: I initially found your channel through the not-so-short-term review of the Pelagos :) Lovely collection you have ! Cheers,
Wearing the Pelagos as I‘m writing this!Still loving it despite having acquired an arguably more „high-end“ Rolex recently. It‘s gotta be my favorite dive watch, no contest. :)
That would be quite a cool watch to have! However, as I said I don‘t think accuracy is too important. I have a 90 year old Atmos table clock which runs 20 minutes fast every day. No big deal.
@@watchesinthewild8276 yes sir, i was negotiating a price on this exact watch, on Chrono24 a few months back, when it sold. I was too slow! HA! Great buy my friend
I'm Sorry You do need a Spring Drive, and Accuracy is extremely IMPORTANT!
I fear your degree of conviction outmatches mine... ;-)
If it isn't accurate, then it's called bracelet...
You need the Citizen Caliber 0100. And then if you still have this obsessive compulsive disorder, a watch can't help you... i'm simila,r but less so.
Count me in.
Great Video like always. Last 100 years two new movements have been made that are better than anything else. GS Spring Drive and Co-Axial from Omega
Both offer some amazing innovations. I will do a review of an Omega Seamaster next, and am looking forward to checking out the Co-Axial!
@Kyro Stefon By utilizing radial friction instead of sliding friction at the impulse surfaces the coaxial escapement significantly reduces friction, theoretically resulting in longer service intervals and greater accuracy over time.
Have both movements

I get you haaaa. It all about expectation. Superb video again thanks from Ireland where being early is a problem.
Oh is it? Are people so afraid of being late that they turn up extra early?
Thanks for watching Keith, warm greetings from Switzerland.

You definetly need more watches - because we want more videos. Definetly. :)
Haha thank you! Alas, I‘m no billionaire. But a new video will come out soon featuring the Omega Seamaster :)

Tiffany blue
Check out my „Grand Seiko dial vs Rolex dial“ video for some high-quality close-ups of the GS :)

Well-said!
Thank you!
Have Seiko LX spring drive just know what you mean .Great video
what a well-made and insightful video. Very nice.
It is, it's just too bad I have a modicum of OCD haha
My Grand Seiko sd is spot on accurate. It may have gained +0.5 in the past month I just can't be bothered...
Amazing! Mine isn’t quite as accurate, but still very impressive.
super watch and super video, most watch guys i follow on YT are not accuracy nuts like me!! subbed and upvoted!!

Unfortunately. Grand seiko makes a far better watch than any Swiss company for near the price. Even punches far above its weight too.
