Well…I finally did it …Seiko GS SD in the house and glad too !

My first reaction out of the box was OMG !! I can’t believe the level of fit and finish on this thing (on par if not better then a lot of the watches I own or owned), accuracy has been within +/- 1 sec so far (amazing!!). Before this GS purchase I never held ,worn or even seen one it person but it was a risk I had to take to satisfy my curiosity…. after a little over a week of ownership I definitely think I got my money’s worth and then some ! J J

I first took notice of the Seiko Spring Drive back it 2005 when it was voted watch of the year on a another reputable watch forum. It was up against some super power watch brands and against some really amazing watches. I have been curious maybe somewhat obsessed but hesitant to pull the trigger on one, my thoughts were, “ its only a Seiko…is it really worth the money?” but then again…. I don’t remember a week go by in the last 4 - 5 years where I don’t look up GS Seiko’s on various forums.

One in particular that really sparked my interest is this GS Spring Drive, I think the SD technology is definitely a break through in horology, under appreciated, misunderstood and most likely will be studied/copied by some of the Swiss brand manufacturers because of its efficiency and accuracy. (Maybe coolness too) J . Definitely a lot of positive and amazing things Seiko is doing out there.

I’m a fan . J J
