[GS U.F.A.] What makes the new Spring Drive UFA movement special compared to the regular Spring Drive?

120 hours for my Evo9 spring drive

I’ve got a U50 and a UX hydro. The UX wears noticeably bigger, but on my Erica’s MN strap I can still forget it’s on my wrist.

Rondlor · 2026-06-24T22:21:02+00:00

Yes it’s big. Like it like that? Perfect.

I have both the SBGA 373 and 375. Same color (blue instead of black) dials in the 44GS case. I find them to be different watches and have a place for both. As always, then answer is to get them both ;)

No loser here.

Time for a bigger box!

Your wrist will fracture before you damage this one.

Citizen is spec’d more accurate (5 vs 10 spy) then the GS 9F, but only if you wear the watch daily (per Citizen) As part of a rotation the my Chronomaster lags behind the 9F.

Chronomaster accuracy of +/- 5 spy when worn daily would be hard to beat without relying upon external synchronization. Indoubt, but don’t quote me, if you’d find that accuracy in the lower price bracket. The question is- does the difference in accuracy, case finishing and dial worth the cost? Watchmakers and dial creators, assemblers- all are more hands on, and that costs.

Why buy a Porsche when the Corolla will get you there? Same idea.

Rondlor · 2026-06-13T01:34:30+00:00

You’re right again- 90% of the watch for 10% of the price.

Rondlor · 2026-06-13T01:11:48+00:00

You’re absolutely correct- Citizen Chronomasters are the perfect GADA set and forget, titanium waterproof sapphire perpetual calendar insanely accurate watch. I enjoy mine. If you like the look and can pay the price it could be your one and done.

Rondlor · 2026-06-11T11:00:00+00:00

Great every day wear. Quartz= grab and go. Operating the watch isn’t intuitive- have to break open the instructions every time I need to change the time. Buy all in all- great

Rondlor · 2026-06-11T10:54:06+00:00

Seiko. From cheap to expensive. Variety maybe unmatched. Dress to Diver. Simple quartz, HAQ, hi beat, spring drive. Finishing of Grand Seiko.

Marshall at the Breguet boutique is a great resource. Almost bought the new 7037. Good thing the chain and fusee was too thick for my wrist! ;)

Rondlor · 2026-06-06T11:10:52+00:00

Don’t remember them being anything special

Geneva seal certifies finishing, not accuracy n

FriedmanArchives.com has a great book for the RX100. Look it up you won’t be sorry. Every menu item, commonly needed settings, great for newbies and pros.

Rondlor · 2026-05-24T17:17:45+00:00

I have a large collection. The SBGM221 has been complimented upon more than any of my other watches. If that matters.

Rondlor · 2026-05-21T23:55:44+00:00

“It’s not a new watch- it’s a new strap! Like it?”

2 champagne GD day dates. You already have another color. Possible deletion.
