Yup not one single watch that actually good for an active lifestyle. These are all choices for people that want to look like they are trying to fool people.
Gentlemen, I had never heard of your channel, RU-vid just basically selected this vid based on my likes. However, 5 1/2 min into this video and you haven't shown a single of the 6 watches on the table and you have mentioned 3 times you are wearing a Breitling Endurance...I really wanted to like this video but lost all interest...
Same they did everything they could to not keep out attention on the topic. Seemed like they much rather just have a conversation between themselves then talking to us
Really great picks. Martin's approach leaned more on versatile sport/ "practicality" watches, but had great picks due to all titanium watches. More like a weekend active person. Bernard for me wins, he went all out in terms of sport type watches - carbon case with the FXD and mostly rubber straps. More ideal if you really are more on adventurous side. Really interesting approaches on both sides overall. I like to wear my Explorer 40 and Polar Explorer 2 on Nato when I go hiking, climb mountains, cycling, and even play tennis. And then I like to wear my blue Zenith Defy Extreme diver on the rubber strap when I'm out in the water.
Martin's not gonna be happy to hear that I won out in the end! You've got a couple of great active watches yourself! Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more! - Bernard
@@AdityaKhorana It’s definitely worth trying it in person. When it was released, it didn’t really resonate with me, but I was in Watches and Wonders this year and got to try it in person and I was surprised the it became a day one purchase for me. It’s wearable due to being titanium, but some are conflicted with the thickness. I do notice it more when I wear it in the nato. The overall design is definitely divisive - too loud for some, but overall it resonated with me. It’s not really intended for desk diving - not super versatile and intended to be outdoors.
I know this is a crazy pick but I love my green Cartier santos large. A lot of people think it’s a little too fancy but it really is a perfect everyday, every occasion watch. 10 bar, simple and straight forward movement with date, and the green is perfect for a pop of color. It’s also a strap (albeit expensive) monster. I feel many people just overlook it because the brand name screams snooty. I have decently taken it swimming!
I wanted to like the aquaracer but the piece I saw (which was a "for sale" and not "demo" unit), the seconds hand didn't line up with the indices when ticking. Not something you expect at that price point. Love that Bvlgari though!
We've had nothing but good things to say about the Aquaracer, but as always, things can go wrong - but they're also easily fixed! Glad you liked the Bulgari as well, its not something you see everyday! - Martin
Never heard of this brand until I visited Glashütte last February, and saw the manufacture building prominently on top of a hill. Nice timepiece for sure.
Heuer Frag./Carrera , listing out at $8100 USD , state side, a little steep for a re-edition of a re-edition 39mm vs 36mm a def. improvement modern size, great looking watch very true to the 1964 but more expensive than than the original, Paul Neuman style Daytona Bund strap, also a nice strap option for the orig and re-ed 36mm ers . Again stunning watch but 8k is all the money forsure , not even enough change for a Carmel Frap at your favorite Starbucks .
To use a well overused term in this hobby... this is MY grail watch. I love everything about it and have been so close to pulling the trigger many times.
I picked up a Tivan limited edition JLC MC Lab 2. I’ve been wearing it on the rubber strap nearly every day for two months. The watch is amazing and very comfortable; looks better on the leather strap, but wears better on the rubber strap. I thought I’d take a look at other some reviews on RU-vid and saw your post, if you do get the opportunity, you won’t regret pulling the trigger on this watch.
@@beckwithtl Thanks for the reply. I've had it slip through my fingers on several occasions. Twice with the blue/Ti, and once with the brown smooth bezel and rose gold.
