![]() Not to mention their movements are hand assembled and calibrated by two watchmakers.Īlso they are two completely different quartz designs. They grow all their own quartz and have crazy measures in selecting the very best quartz for their GS line. Also GS are perfectly vertically integrated which means they oversee not only every aspect of their watches construction, but every step of the manufacturing of every component. It was introduced last year with their gmt quartz 9f86 watches and this year across their standard quartz lineup with the 9f85.Ĭitizen has more features you can see but grand seiko has better mechanical and tech features that are hidden like their second hand that actually ticks twice if recorded in slow motion but looks like one perfect tick to the naked eye. You are right about the lack of perpetual calendar on grand seikos but GS now has independently adjustable hour hands on their quartz 9f movement. There's like one limited edition they did once and it looked pretty bad imo Seiko doesn't offer any textured dial quartz options pretty much. And maybe a stronger brand name, though citizen is pretty well known and has just as long a history.įor me the biggest deal was getting a HAQ with a cool textured dial. Which is admittedly impressive, but imo solar power > service interval. The only advantage Grand Seiko quartz has over citizen is their sealed unit package / 50 year service interval. The citizen also has a battery status indicator and a jumping hour hand for changing timezones without losing the 5 seconds per year accuracy of the second hand. ![]() Citizen has a solar powered battery, Seiko uses conventional batteries. Quartz GS, I've never seen one that wasn't a gloss single colored dial with no texture. Both are titanium both have very nice case polishing, both have timeless simplistic dressy design, both plus minus 5 seconds per year accuracy, perpetual calendar but:Ĭitizen quartz has textured (like this paper) dials. I've never owned a GS but I can tell you the chronomaster line is quality.Īt least for GS's quartz offerings, I think citizen wins. /r/WatchExchange for buying, selling, trading watchesīanner photo courtesy of /u/northscylla Please take a look at our community rules and FAQ before contributing!./r/WatchHorology our sister subreddit for horology, watch appreciation, history, technical discussion and related topics.Simple Questions and Recommendations ThreadĬome hang out in the Official /r/Watches Discord!
