Which is better hi beat or spring drive?

Primarily because the performance of a spring drive is exponentially greater than any mechanical movement. As if that weren’t enough, while the hi-beat has a super smooth sweep hand, the spring drive is the only movement ever made that has a literally perfectly smooth sweep hand—it never “beats” at all.

What is Seiko High Beat?

A high-beat movement is one with a faster-than-ordinary oscillating wheel. Commonly, “high beat” is only used to describe movements oscillating faster than 28,800 A/h, though Seiko has used the derivative term “Hi Beat” to refer to 28,800 A/h movements.
