High-beat movements, or calibers that run at 36,000 beats-per-hour/10 beats-per-second, are relatively uncommon in the industry today. The prevailing standard for quite some time now has been 28,800 beats-per-hour, or 8 beats-per-second, and it’s for good reason. These movements strike an excellent compromise as far as overall performance is concerned, with 28,800bph calibers being capable of excellent timekeeping without undue wear and tear on components.

A Grand Seiko will always be on my wish list.

And they are actually affordable for mere mortals like myself.

Yep - and the one I covet has the 9F quartz, likely the best quartz movement ever devised.

Now that's a GS worthy of the short list.

Every once in a while those bastards really hit one out of the park.
