No idea how Citizen's higher-end bracelets hold up.īranding: Well, I said that "looks frugal to non-enthusiasts" was important, and both brands certainly pass that test. Wrong - washi has the tremendous utility of being a translucent material that allows the Eco-Drive to work!!! Brilliant! (They're both amazing, but any textured GS is out of my current price range.)įinishing quality: I assume both are excellent, but I detect a slight prejudice towards Grand Seiko in various reviews. So I admit I first thought that the washi-paper Chronomaster dials were a little derivative. Solar Eco-Drive is also a pretty cool perk, although it sounds like GS has a huge advantage with finding service outside Japan.ĭial: I've probably read too much GS marketing material about the profound, ancient Japanese influence behind every odd dial pattern the brand produces. Meanwhile, the Chronomaster has a perpetual calendar, which fits that "I never want to touch my crown" HAQ ethos.
In no particular order, my thoughts.įunctionality: The GS GMT hand is really cool, but all I really want is easy hour adjustment, which both models have. Maybe it's obvious why my choices have narrowed to Citizen vs. So I'm in the market for a rest-of-my-life quartz dress watch.
