WORN&WOUND: Review - Grand Seiko Refs. SBGV243 and SBGV245 — Two Watches That Will Have You Rethinking Quartz

Watch enthusiasts are a persnickety bunch, and no time is that more true than when quartz watches enter the fray. “It’s just a quartz watch” and “ugh, why is it quartz and not mechanical?” are common refrains you’ll hear from the mech-faithful, and hell, I’ll admit to it right now, I’ve lent my voice to that chorus before I found enlightenment.

Quartz movements get a bad rep, and believe me, I get it. Really, I do. The vast majority of quartz watches out in the world are generic, cheap in every sense of the word, and ultimately disposable — as are the movements powering those watches. But Grand Seiko’s 9F quartz calibers, and the watches they live inside, are entirely different beasts. But I’m getting ahead of myself — I’ll get to the movements a little later...
