Owner’s Review: The Grand Seiko SBGA375 [VIDEO]
This is a review quite some time in the making. It started in March of 2021 when I went a little crazy. Well, watch-crazy, to be more accurate. You know that mental state when you get obsessed with a watch and can?t stop looking up information about it, the brand, the movement, comparable watches (to make sure you?re correct in your obsession), etc" Yeah, that. Somehow, somewhere, the idea of Grand Seiko?s Spring Drive got deep in my psyche, and I needed to get one. Not wanted, needed.
Be warned, what follows is a first-hand account of watch-induced madness. A journey from an idea to an obsession to a purchase. This isn?t a typical review but more of a personal recounting of my experiences with a watch I?ve spent a lot of time with (which, I suppose is what I review is, but I digress). If you?re looking for pure stats and objective analysis of design features, this isn?t necessarily going to be for you, though there will be plenty of both? you?ve been warned.
My obsessions don?t usually start with the movement. Like everyone else, I generally see a watch at launch or stumble across it while surfing the ?ol web, think ?that?s for me? and go from there (to be clear, I don?t buy most, but you know the feeling). But in this instance, the unique concept of the Spring Drive suddenly clicked in my mind. Although I had known about it for a while, one day it just made sense. The combination of mechanical and quartz for a hyper-accurate movement with a perfectly smooth sweep...
