The red second hand is very attractive and stand out, I would go for it. [nt]

What are your thoughts on this GS(s)?
Went to my local AD today. Was looking for a spring drive with the blue dial but it was gone. Instead my eye caught this model which actually the 60th anniversary quartz movement. I was not in a market to buy a quartz watch but this one is rated at +-5 se...
I think you will find it a watch you reach for when you are in a hurry
No winding, no setting, no fiddling with the strap ... just snap it on and go. And it looks great. I’d do it but I have 4 GS quartz already ... 🤨 Cazalea
Thanks for the feedback Cazalea. Given you have 4 quartz I take it you like them ...
For me looking at a quartz felt like I was betraying my other automatic watches but I agree with they do it could become practical. How much wrist time in general do your 4 quarts watch get compared to the other traditional movement watch in your collecti...

I think if I can get it it would my first choice but was not expecting to like the quartz model so much as well
Just looked at the details on the GS website. Very nice.
Like you, I like the darker dial best. I think that is what you should go for!
The colors on that spring drive reference are so appealing. Yet… I'd worry that in too short a time I'd find it just a "pretty face." The farther down this road I go, the narrower
the margin, it seems, between "a little too pretty," and a watch I'd wear forever. Unless, of course, you're just out for fun. In that case, how about Undone's Sriacha ? (The rooster glows in the dark.) I mean… Let's get serious about Fu N , here! FH ...
