Hi Aron, one more thing, I noticed in the specs on the Gearbest page and in one of the reviews, that they say it has a sapphire crystal, which I don't think you mentioned. At this price point, that's very impressive, however, the long term reliability of so many pushers & complications on such a cheap watch concerns me in the long run. Still, thanks again!
TheGoodwolfe yes, you are correct. They do advertise sapphire on this model. I also agree with your concerns over the long term reliability. Maybe I'll do a follow up video as to its status in the future. Thanks for watching my friend.
I bought one of these about two months ago. For the price ($50.00), it's a nice watch. I didn't like the deployant strap at all, so I put on a nice Barton brown leather band. Thanks for a great, in depth review!
Great review Aron, and very thorough as usual! I think it's a nice looking dress style beater, as I like the dial, and a movement that would probably be reliable overall & can be regulated to be accurate as well. What concerns me is having this many pushers & "complications" on such an inexpensive watch, and the probability that sooner than later, they stop functioning correctly, which makes the watch all but useless. It may work better for me with just a day/night indicator.
Thanks for the review Aron - it persuaded me to buy one! I alreay had the Guancin with the Seiko NH36 movement and that watch is truly superb with amazing accuracy and build quality. I'm liking this one very much so far, as you said it feels robust and I find the dial quite fascinating, it's the most complicated dialled watch I own now. Legibility is quite challenging at a glance, you have to kind of orientate yourself a bit first so there's a knack to it! For £44 delivered within a week with no import duty (I see Gearbest helpfully declare the value very low on the outer) this is punching well above it's weight. Let's see how it does in the long term now. Thanks again!
cameron findlay Thank you for tuning in! Its as really nicely made piece that is fun to wear. Yeah, little difficult to read because of all that's going on, but really great looking. Take care!!
Bought this. It's nice, but not for me. A bit too heavy - although this would suggest better quality - and mainly the watch is too tall/thick. The display case back isn't flush with the case and adds way more height to the watch, causing it to sit really high on the wrist. Tried it on a perlon strap too and the watch is just too heavy for a light strap like that.
Dude you can adjust that second time zone by rolling the crown clockwise and counter clockwise as faster as you can, its like shaking your crown forward and backward, dont woorry it wont damage your watch because thats how you adjust it. I mean in a position like youre adjusting your main time.
its functional and it works, just follow my instructions, i am pretty sure its a chinese seagull dual time perpetual copy movement and i have been inspect and disassemble every part of it, thats why i know how to do that.
yeh... it definitely looks like a million dollar watch, i dont care if its made in china or made by monkey, i respect people who appreciate watches as a piece of jewellery that gentlemans can wear these days. So for every watch snob like me its like a secret handshake when i saw people wearing an unusual watches. You dont have to be worried about terms homage, every watch out there is a homage to another watch in a certain degree. Even the famous submariner is just another copy from another watches. It is a pure fool to claim your watch is better than the others. "Sadly i can't put any respect on the quartz watches bcoz they dont have any soul in it".
Hi, Aron. Thank you very much for the video. I just received mine today but can't figure out how the heck the clasp opens. Could you help me sharing some light on the subject, please??
