Do you think GS will get into the integrated bracelet game?

Wouldn't that be a treat?

You just know that bracelet case / bracelet would be out of this world.

I don't know if they will, but it seems like with many of their cases being angular at or near the lugs that the integrated bracelet would be a natural fit.

I think they will eventually. Seems like an inevitable progression.

Some vintage GS bracelets matched their cases beautifully: http://www.plus9time.com/blog/2018/3...eiko-bracelets

I think they should start by having micro-adjustments on their bracelets, whether they get into the integrated bracelet game or not eventually. This will up their game instantly and make them more attractive to potential owners.

They might start with fixing the bracelets in current production. Micro-adjustment is just a start. For GS/Seiko to be such a great company making amazing products it seems that the bracelets are not a priority. Integrated bracelets would be nice if the clasps worked better with some real adjustment to get a proper fit.

Tool-free microadjustments, please. Our wrists aren't empty steel pipes that have a constant circumference throughout the day.

Not sure how we define integrated bracelet. Wouldn't the SBGJ229 qualify?
