I bought this one last month. The lume is incredible. Also, the slide lock bracelet is fantastic. Liked it so much that I just bought another in Unite in Blue dial
Been trying to decide between the blue and this one for MONTHS!!! Pulled the trigger today and ordered this one. Love the understated gray dial as a possible everyday piece.
Good job on the review. I'm currently wearing the black variant (BN0150). I've owned the OEM bracelet before selling it a bit ago. I had similar complaints about the bracelet clasp taking up too much wrist space and jutting out too much. The clasp certainly is well-made and looks the part, but every time I had it on bracelet I found myself wearing the watch way less due to the added weight and reduced ergonomics. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
I hated the bracelet initially for your reasons stated in the video. I would have much preferred micro adjustment or half links. My problem was that my wrist was getting pinched by that gap created when extending the bracelet adjusment. My solve for this was to reverse the bracelet (how its attached to the watch case), too avoid the pinching and also to hide the "jutting" that appears on the show side, and now having that clasp jutting out on the near side of the bracelet, not visible to others looking toward you
@@watchify1775 Yeah np. If you wear the watch upside down, you can see and feel the difference, before you go through the trouble of reversing the band in case it doesn't end up working for you
Such great value, I don't know how they do it - having a tough time getting a strap fitted as everyone either sends watches away for fitting/service or they don't carry straps in stock. Btw, no such thing as a chapter ring or Indices in the watch world.
Great review! I have the black one on the original strap. It wears surprisingly comfortable. It has the same slight misalignment, not too much tho. Is there a way to adjust it?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that is because of solar cell layer in between. I wasn't too hot on the orange minute hand but I know some like the splash of color
Hello, I appreciate your video it really helped me make my decision about purchasing the watch. I want to ask you about your particular model. Do you notice any inconsistency in the lume on the hour and minute hand? I feel like the lume is thinner around the middle of the hands. I wonder if I am seeing things or if this is a common characteristic of this model. Thanks for the great video.
Im going to assume you meant 16.5 cm wrist 😆. In that case your wrist is about same size as mine. This watches appx 48.5 mm lug to lug distance is fine for that size wrist even with the male end links on bracelet
I have a Citizen solar promaster diver. I'm very disappointed with pins that move in the sharp edged bracelet, a clunky 60 click bezel with a sharp bezel insert.
