These don't come along every day, do they?? Don't expect a luxury watch for that price, but it does have a lovely dial. And I can see quite a few pairs being bought as a sneaky way of adding JOMW. Cheers, Jody

The model is aptly named, as it has a strong Universal Genève vibe, although it's not a 1:1 copy. At least in my eye. Love it. Also the fact, that finally, someone made a proper dress watch without a seconds hand. Thumbs up! (Wrote this before I watched the video, so ...)

@CyberSammael Год назад

This is just a great idea, executed brilliantly. The cost makes it viable for getting a matching pair without denting the savings for that luxury watch for yourself. The design appeals to both watch nerds and 'normal' people and a simple two hander makes it great for both people too. Hats off to the business decision making behind this.

@WATCHingJames Год назад

The best value microbrand I’ve come across is Kingsbury. In particular their MS4 Regiment for $189USD. Plus this one is a auto with a no date Seiko.

@viennakrakatoaleipzignumbers Год назад

The 36 looks fantastic mate! The 40 looks a bit like a "dinner plate" fashion watch from afar but up close it's got the finishing to stand up for itself. Some of the color variants are better than the others, but it's really good to see these show up at this price point.

@jamesR1990 Год назад

Another great review! Mrs JOMW is a hero. I've been tracking this release and I'm excited for it. I actually like that they included the date complication. It balances out the logo on a 3-9 mirroring with the single line of text

@tomcruz3774 Год назад

Kinda coincidental, I just bought a vintage 2 handed watch (Seiko chariot with 2220 movement) from buyee. It was supposed to be my dress watch but my wife claimed it as her watch since she really reeaaally likes it. Probably my best impulse purchase so far, but it's also not mine anymore lol.

@antonysmith9173 Год назад

@fatkev1983 Год назад

I quite like the 36mm. I do like my 60s watches in my collection of this size despite having nearly 8" wrists. The one I like is the stainless case, light blue dial, and dark hands. I think I'd want the canvas strap... im fussy with leather straps. Anyways, I signed up and I'll likely be buying one. My partner wouldn't be interested. Only watch she wears is her fitness watch with gps for swimming tracking. Her favourite watch I own is the Alpinist, cause "its green"...

@jozsefizsak Год назад

I was tempted to place an order and fought the impulse, this time with some success. With a screw on back, it might have been harder and I do know it was probably incorporated for a bit of thinness as well as cost cutting but I do already have a watch. An another, etc. Close call.

@explained4242 Год назад

no second hand means you can't tell it's quartz but you also can't tell if it's stopped or the battery dies.

Revelot has an amazing thing going on. I ordered R10 Admiral, for which I was quite hyped, but I was innitially disappointed that its launch was in fact a launch of pre-orders and the watch will arrive only now. I can imagine Universal will be the same experience. So be ready to wait.

Despite them having only a slight delay to the promised July/August and they did acknoledge it, I still find in bad taste that these launches make you wait for months after purchase.

@bradleyburton4762 Год назад

@thebitterfig9903 Год назад

A recommendation for a watch for Ms. JOMW: one of the Casio LA670 or A159 diamond versions. They’re technically real diamonds, with all the fun of a basic bracelet digital Casio. With this Universal, seems like a decent watch for the price. I like the two hands style, and wish there were more two-handers out there. However, the subdivisions on the minute track seem really excessive, and I might have even skipped the minute track. Just seems a little busy, and without a seconds hand I’d just embrace the minimalism.

@duncanidaho2130 Год назад

That tuxedo version at that price looks outstanding.

@TheGrenadier97 Год назад

Quartz dress watch without seconds hands and a tiny, tasteful date window: win-win. Of course i don't mind the ladies-gentlemen bias, the 36mm has a correct size for that kind of watch as well.

@KillerByte666 Год назад

Nice touch to invite Mrs JOMW's arm :) By the way nice and well complete little watch (and also very cheap) !

@shatterstone3045 Год назад

Hey Jody, a greta video as usual, and an interesting watch. I'd love to see you do a review on the Lorus Lumibrite, especially to compare it to some of the best lume watches you have in your collection and how it stacks up. Personally, I've had it for a few weeks and don't really have any complaints, especially for the £30 price tag. The lume on this field watch is probably the most interesting part, and I'd love to know how well it stacks up.

@brianmsahin Год назад

It's nice, dial is wonderful for the price and quartz is a good movement to keep it slim. It's not my cup of tea, but my wife really likes it, but even though she has just a 5.2“ wrist, she likes the 40mm better. I wonder, what happened to the slim mechanicals. I have a 1958 Swiss watch with seconds hand subdial, 5.2mm thin. I think someone should bring back affordable slim mechanical watches.

@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls Год назад

Get this deal from ashford (deal in my opinion). Domed sapphire, applied indices, both Swiss made and tissot on the dial. All for the princely sum of $118.95 😅 I'm saving for something decent, but this was so cheap that I couldn't pass it up Only for US customers, though. Quartz of course, but $30 cheaper than Amazon and 20mm lugs When swiss is competitive to Chinese, I have a hard time going Chinese I wanted a beater and baltany was going to be it, but this was cheaper with domed sapphire and applied indices

@vidoma1 Год назад

I have the new Revelot admiral and its a beast! Absolutely beautiful watch and spec monster! Please review it.

@scottsj4625 Год назад

Usually sub 100 USA dollar watches don't have sapphire crystals. Nice and thin. I have a feeling with the thinness the battery must be a very small one and might not last long. The other concern is the strap you said felt like it was going to fall apart. A good leather strap is not cheap. The mesh idea is good. Too bad they did not send you one to show it. Nice of your wife to get involved a little in your video. Does she think you are nuts for having so many watches?

@crbswiss Год назад

i think the date wheel should have been black with white lettering. Then it would have reflected/balenced out the brand logo on the top half of the dial better.

@23727bgk Год назад

I have excellent Ali Express NH35 watches with at least 100 meter water resistance, sapphire, screw down crown and case back for roughly $100 each. Must be due to massive production volume. But this watch is very attractive imo!

@gfx2006 Год назад

Glow in the dark handles, that's what I'm gonna call them from now on 😂

@scottbeckett4190 Год назад

Big thank you to Mrs JOMW for making the ultimate wrist sacrifice!! I like the watch but for some reason I perceived the dial as looking cheap. The reflection kind of reminded me of the same light play you get from coated plastic or resin like some Casios. I would need to have this one in hand before I took the chance even though it is a bargain price. Another innovative approach to another video. Jody you are the watch review master! Merci.

@StevenMRSenior 11 месяцев назад

Got mine today. Took 2 months. Ordered on first day. They sent an email with details of order and it was the wrong watch. Emailed them straight back. They apologised and amended the order but said they had sold out of the one I wanted but were getting some more. I also noted that they had overcharged me and told them so. At first they said it was due to the different currency but I pointed out it was not. They offered an extra strap so I picked one. I received it today and it looks great on both straps but they are a bit short being on the last hole on my wrist. Will keep as I have very few dress watches.

@brianmccord7387 Год назад

The waffle dial sort of reminds me of the HMT Sona which I have worn in the past at 36 mm. I would have no problem wearing this in 36 and I have a six and three-quarter inch wrist.

@AjayKumar-yy8qh Год назад

doesn't matter how good the dial and overall finish is... how good is the price... I want my watch to have a second hand... That's one thing that keeps me sane when I'm lone.. When I'm busy or surrounded with people, i don't think of my friend on my wrist.. Sad but true..

@liamparker928 Год назад

very nice looking watch would be cool if they offered a no date version though

@rustyturner431 Год назад

In that same price range, check out the offerings from Tandorio, Parnis and Corguet. VERY wide range, and I've had a Tandorio diver for over a year as my daily beater; it keeps excellent time and is very rugged. 200m water resistant, sapphire crystal, NH35a movement, screw-down crown and caseback, ceramic bezel and terrific lume...for under $80. The bad: the rubber strap it came on was cheap junk. Now it's on a nice hornback alligator strap from Vietnam, and I still have only about $100 in it. Looks great!

@adk7962 Год назад

Welcome Ms. JOMW! It’s an interesting direction they are taking. I love their Divers and GMT’s though. I don’t wear dress watches so I’m hoping they come out with a cool sports / GADA watch.

Thanks for this video! I have been seriously considering this watch and am eagerly awaiting the launch. Hard to pass up such a great looking watch, that seems to be well made and with a sapphire crystal for under $100. I am a highly frugal spender and have a knack for talking myself out of purchases, but if I can make it to August 31 I just might pull the trigger.

@renngretsch Год назад

As has often been said. put your money into what you are going to wear. This is a great dress option for someone that wants to put most of their money into a sports/dive watch. 2 hand quartz is fantastic to keep away those horrible seconds hands that miss the markers. Not for me though...I picked up a Citizen AR3072-09A for not much more than this and swapped out the strapped for something a bit more manly.

@cindylowman4495 Год назад

Follow up after receiving the watch - After watching Jody's video, I set my alarm and was able to buy one of the copper dials (it sold out within 15 minutes). I received it in the US on October 9th (it was shipped via FedEx). The dial is fantastic and the supplied strap seems to be better quality than what Jody reviewed. In addition, the Malaysian currency dropped in relation to the US Dollar between the advertised price and the order date, so when I bought it in late August, it was for less than advertised because the sale was conducted in Malaysian money. I think my price was around $85 plus shipping with a total price of $103. Needless to say, I'm thrilled with my purchase.

@randyhamzah7511 Год назад

One question though, why put milliseconds marker on a two-hands watch? It kinda ruins the overall looks of the watch in my opinion.
