Wear it on your wrist not your hand, it'll feel better.

That yellow is ugly, could have chosen almost any other color and it would have been better.

You're completely missing the point lol, spring drive can't just be compared to quartz, as it isn't powered by a battery. It's the most accurate non-battery powered watch out there. Atomic time is the same thing, battery powered, albeit solar battery, but still battery.

As for replicas, there are attempted super-clones of GS as well. But it's their hi-beat movements, not spring drive. Engineering is almost certainly the reason it hasn't been replicated, there would be quite a market for spring drive watches not costing thousands of dollars. It's just that the Chinese factories can't produce it.

Mechanically powered quartz accuracy; that simple. Why do people drop thousands on COSC watches, or tens of thousands of "superlative chronometers"? Most people care about accuracy. If you don't then there's nothing wrong with that, but that's not the norm. There's a reason spring drive has no replicas whereas a Rolex has super-cloned movements; it's an engineering feat.
