It's not completely mechanic, it's an hybrid

Though the precision and quality is remarkable, it's not my cup of tea.
Anyway is by far better than any quartz movement, there's no competition between the 2 technologies

Another Furlan Marri - the 1011-A

It seems like a fair few among the WPS community have dipped a toe. It's evident that a great deal of effort has gone into its design - from conception through build to quality assurance. The end result is a classical, aesthetic treat at an entirely acces...
It's a nice looking watch and all...

But saying, "I've used the analogy elsewhere: if we visit an art gallery to take in the work of a promising newcomer, we're not going to dwell on the hooks and twining used to mount the exhibit." may be down playing the importance and significance of a wa...
Thanks. I'm not downplaying mechanical movements, so allow me to clarify.

My point is specific to a mechaquartz watch like this and reactions to them. We observe some enthusiasts spending a disproportionate amount of time and energy bemoaning the use of mechaquartz, to the extent that it risks missing the point of the watch its...
Honestly, there are tons of nice looking and inexpensive chronos outhere

Some photos on Instagram, some blog reviews, a pinch of hype and that's it. I'm glad you like it, but whether I can't even really appreciate the Seiko spring drive, you can guess that a quartz doesn't attract me at all. Aesthetic and mechanics are insepar...

I’m sorry but it’s not even a hybrid

This is where the confusion arises because the word quartz is associated with a battery powered cheap watch. Yes the SD utilises a quartz Crystal as part of the regulation process but that is powered by the mechanical action rather than requiring an addit...
There is a quartz oscillating crystal
By: hub6152 : October 2nd, 2021-11:11
and that’s the only thing a Spring Drive and a quartz movement have in common. To call the SD a hybrid isn’t accurate or fair since a quartz movement is powered by a battery and a stepper motor where an SD is powered by a conventional mainspring and gear ...
It's a nice-looking watch.
By: TheMadDruid : September 16th, 2021-20:29
And it's well-constructed, case-wise. And it isn't pretending to be anything it's not. I don't think it deserves the criticism it's getting here. Simple and very inexpensive; good-looking. That's it.
Don't understand the high praise for this.

Nicely made watch? Yes, at least the case and dial.. Well constructed? Sure. Value for money? Most definitely. Ground Breaking? Obviously Not. It's a quartz watch with a copy cat design that they borrowed liberally from Patek. There's some powerful influe...
