Question need advice please

Feb 27, 2020,05:15 AM
 

Hello
I have narrowed my selection to either GS SBGH205 or SBGA203, both steel and black dial. I have only ever owned automatic or manual winding watches. Whilst the spring drive second hand is mesmerising I am wondering if over time I will feel that the hi beat movement is more of a keeper for my collection. Anyone with any view please on the relative importance and gravitas of the 2 movements? The watches are aesthetically very close.
Thank you in advance
Roberto

If you like amazing accuracy and you do not mind the power reserve indicator on the dial, spring drive is the one you go for.

If you prefer pure mechanical watch , the high beat is the one you can seriously consider, I personally have no preference since I own both spring drive and high beat models. Pricing is not that much of a difference.
