i want to share my thought process that ended in the purchase of a GS Quartz 37mm.

I was intrigued by the brand, their innovation and pursuit of excellen with very little pretense, immaculate dials and I like their dress watch look.

I wanted to get something unique to GS, their standard hand wound movement didn't really offer much, the High Beat was more interesting, but there are other brands that make good Hi beat movements, so it left me with the Spring drive or the Best Quartz movement available, the SD was interesting, but i couldn't fully wrap my head around the spring drive not being a fully mechanical watch, so why not just go for Quartz perfection by the brand that pioneered the technology, I'm very happy with my watch, I purchased the GS leather strap and deployant buckle, as I think the bracelet looks cheap.

A few years later, I'm warming up to Spring drive technology, and the GS Chronograph is calling me.
