Which GS case is your favorite?
I know there are some others (poll only allows 4 choices) but when I think of GS the main 4 case designs below come to mind. Curious what folks find to be the most appealing.
I know the “wind sail” design is popular too, especially with some of the new pieces they have released.

I think all the GS cases looks good in their own way when matched with their dials and bracelets or straps. If I had to pick, I guess it would be the 44GS.
One of each please.

This (SBGY009) is for sure one of the best models GS has ever released. Given the choice between this and my SLGH009 today I would struggle to choose I think. I am #teamdatewindow all the way, but you can't argue with the balance of your dial. And that texture is just mesmerizing. But we can agree on a couple of things it looks like. A deep blue dial, a 44GS case, and a limited edition :-)
torn between evolution 9 and 62GS. As stated by others, all the cases are great in their own way.
44.
I actually own a 44GS, 62GS, and the round, blobby, Elegance Collection case with no name. I voted for 62GS. I've worn my SBGA413 to hell, but despite taking a beating, it still looks good. It helps that it has minimal polished surfaces. And it has enough that's distinctive to make it interesting. The 44GS is certainly striking, but all that mirror-like polish won't stay so mirror-like for long. And the broad flanks makes the watch wear bigger, and it shows the thickness too (GMT, so over 14mm); it can look chunky. The blobby case is nice enough, but its all polish also shows wear. It has the benefit that it's very good at hiding thickness. When I tried on the SBGJ249, I was surprised that it's to learn that it's also 14mm thick. It is more elegant than the 44GS, but less interesting.
Can someone just tell me which is smallest so I can vote for that one without having to look it up?

I haven’t done a 62GS yet, the bezel-less look throws me a bit. They are beautiful, but that look sits strangely with me. I have a 44GS and the “blobby” as well, and yes, they are all polish and pick up scratches. I love how the wide flanks of the 44GS wear, that’s actually my favorite part of it. Especially on a sub 12mm thick watch.
Owning all four and from first-hand experience, I agree all four cases are fabulous. 44GS is my favorite. 🧐🤷🏽♂️
