      i absolutely love grand seiko spring drive but with the few problems being that since the hand is moving constantly this generates a LOT of wear to the part resulting in having to send for service more frequent, grand seiko service do not usually have good rep too. another thing is the capacitors will die out at some point (20 yrs) bit low life for a luxury watch

      @@Baronnax while there would be less colliding, however there is only one component that is colliding which is the the balance jewel as opposed to all gears running constantly in GS, resulting in shorter service interval. on GS website it recommend 3-4 years instead of 5-10 years. these service can cost somewhere between 700- more than 1k. while GS is such a marvel of engineering, the cost to keep them running just doesn't do it for me.

      ​@@barrengtonIt's an expensive watch like a Rolex but better in my opinion. Like most any other luxury good such as real fur coats, exotic leather goods, or supercars, high end watches will have expensive regular maintenance. If you can afford a watch of this caliber, you shouldn't balk at a couple hundred dollars worth of maintenance per year to keep it in tip-top shape.

  • @devrajryatt
    @devrajryatt Месяц назад +2

    When describing the spring drive movement U mentioned the mainspring. However the image U showed was of the hair spring which is a component within the balance of a standard mechanical movement. Ironically this is the one component that separates the spring drive movement from a standard mechanical movement. In a spring drive the balance is what is replaced by the electrical components as this regulate the watch more accurately.
    Fun fact: it is impossible to use a timegrapher to determine how well a spring drive movement is running as timegraphers use the sound of the balance oscillating to generate it's data. Due to the fact spring drive movements have no balance a timegrapher cannot be used.

    We have a 8$ wall clock at home with super smooth sweeping seconds, any idea what type of movement it has? And also if it is that cheap to make, why not wrist watches come with similar movement?

    • @taylantorin
      @taylantorin Год назад

      That wall clock is an ordinary quartz. The reason it sweeps is because there is ample space for a big battery + it is relatively easy to replace depleted batteries, as sweeping is way more energy consuming than ticking for quartz watches. When it comes to wristwatches, the challenge is to make maximum use of the energy packed into the small battery.

    @JonathanNelson-nelsonj3 6 месяцев назад

    First off, the Bulova does not move smoothly because the quartz crystal oscillates at a higher speed, that just improves the accuracy of the watch. All quartz powered watches can have smooth movement if they are designed to, it just takes more battery power to do so.
    Second, functionally speaking, a dead beat second hand is better than a smooth second hand as you can precisely see when the seconds pass.
    Mechanical watches have smooth movement because it is hard to make them beat once per second. It is a defect of the design, not something to be lauded.
    That being said, I do love my mechanical watches despite the smooth but vague movement of the second hand.

    I was just wondering about this. Cheap AA powered wall hanging clocks can have a sweeping second hand, but even high dollar quartz watches all seem to tick 1/sec. I'd hoped purely battery-powered, smooth sweeping watches were more common. You can buy some really nice mechanical watches for the price of even the cheapest Bulova Precisionist model, so I don't see myself ever buying one. I also know of some watches that, like the mecha-quartz, have both quartz and mechanical movements, but the mechanical is just to have a sweeping second hand purely for show. It's not attached to the minut or hour hand at all. Fossil makes one. At least the chronograph watches serve a purpose, but how often do you actually use that feature on a watch that has one?

    Spring Drive is a joke
    You are paying $$for a high end kinetic watch

      That's certainly one way to look at it! I don't agree, but we are all entitled to our opinions.

    If only Bulova would put that movement in something that's actually wearable I'd be all over it.

    Spring drive is garbage. GS watered down their brand by offering SD. It has an IC and wires inside, it is essentially a quartz technology mechanical mechanism inside. Over engineered for absolute no reason. It is a highway robbery. GS should just focus on manual wound and automatic movement.

      And high end quartz. Because they have absolutely beautiful pure high end quartz pieces.

      No it's not. They are a fully vertically integrated watchmaker. They have movements no one else can even figure out how to make like the Spring Drive, the Kodo Force Tourbillion, and the 9F quartz, and their dials are absolutely brilliant in person. All that for the price of the cheapest and most boring looking Rolex available

      ​@@fark69that's true I like there watches besides there dive watches are ugly as hell but they are overrated just like rolex en more no denying en many grand sekio fans are so toxic it puts rolex fans too shame, it's sad but true if you have seen it en heard it.

      @@PixelWelding Sure the fans may suck (I don't know personally), but they actually do a lot of technical achievement unlike many of the Swiss brands who just coast on "being a Swiss watch" to rake in huge cash. If you want to be pedantic, all mechanical watches are overrated, but of those, GS is, factually, less overrated than Rolex. And yeah many of their watches are ugly and ridiculously priced. Rolex don't make many ugly watches by comparison.

      “their watches”
      “their dive watches”
      “Rolex”
      “and many”
      “and heard it”
      There, corrected your rant.
      Please use interpunction too.
      Speaking about overrated, Swiss watches are completely overrated.
      And Seiko diver’s look the business, real tool watches instead of the fancy schmancy, dainty Swiss designs.
