This is the BEST Everyday Watch You Can Buy in 2021 

Thanks Iain appreciate that!

Thanks Adam!

Omega SMAT 41 sounds like a great choice for you and your wrist size. I wouldn't sell it if I were you!

Thanks for sharing Matthew. Great to hear real world testimonials from owners.

You simply can’t go wrong with it IMO. It’s just beautiful but also tough when needed. I’ve worn mine camping this year and took it paddle boarding multiple times along with hiking and fairly intense mountain biking. Sometimes it’s a brighter blue if lights hitting it, sometimes it’s a really subdued darker blue. I also purchased mine from exquisite 👍

Definitely check it out. I really like it.

Great choices! Love both of those, obviously. Tho 41mm would be too big for me, but still great watch.

Good luck hope you get the call!

Great to hear some real world feedback from an owner. It’s a great watch, enjoy it!

@@JustBlueFish Also, regarding the accuracy, on the wrist it is a perfect 0 s/d, but in dial up position, during the first 24h static it is around +2 s/d, but after the second barrel depletes, the rate goes up around +7 s/d in the last 37 hours of power reserve (total on my piece is 67+ hours). Thus, if you do not wear Aqua Terra on a daily basis, the accuracy will not be exceptional (still it is far from bad), unless you cheat with the crown down resting position, which is ca. -3 s/d when the power reserve gets on lower end.

I did a video on the Tudor a long time ago and I just didn't love it. Nice watch, great value, but it didn't get my excited.

@@JustBlueFish I tried one on, the 36mm blue dial. I have to say it looked and felt like a Date just. I would say it's the Black Bay 58 of the Explorer 36mm. A more sporty youthful watch. I love it but my focus was more on the Explorer or a JLC. If I had the money and I found a great deal on the used market. I wouldn't hesitate to add it to my small all black dial collection.

Good choice!

Thanks!

That awesome. Keep it simple!

Sinn make good watches.

The 41 would be great for a larger wrist than mine. Definitely a good choice.

@@JustBlueFish the 41mm is still tiny. my smallest watch is a 43mm and it looks smaller than the 36mm on your wrist. 47-48mm is just right.

Thanks buddy watching buddy!

Gshock 5600, one of my favorites!

Ya man, that crown. Not the best is it?

@@JustBlueFish no sir, I was thinking it was just me as I only bought the watch 2 weeks ago and wasn’t familiar with their crowns. I’m going back to my AD to make sure it’s working correctly

Good choice!

Those are awesome, I might like the 3 o'clock date better.

I own a SMP300 but have tried the aquaterra on it’s a great watch.

Touch choice. I'd probably keep the 36mm Explorer, but that's not a surprise I do like it better.

@@JustBlueFish I kind of do too, and I like the historic accuracy of size. It would compliment my BB58 Blue well, and the cash from the 39mm would get me into JLC Reverso (blue/green/burgundy) territory! 🤔…such is the journey! 🤣

Congrats on a great watch. Can’t go wrong with Omega in my opinion. I do like the DJ but to be honest just when it’s flutted bezel with jubilee. I like every aquaterra

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Maybe one day!

Yeah PCL's are divisive. Some love them some hate them. I kinda like them, but a brushed option would be nice.

Yeah a frame on the date would be nice, good call!

No date looks so better.

Which GS did you get?

@@JustBlueFish SBGA 283. It was recently discontinued.

Absolutely

Good question, haven’t done one in a while I’ll have to put that on my list.

New rule, 2 watches per brand. Problem solved!

@@JustBlueFish Only a Sith would attempt such seduction!

This is the way.

Which Omega model do you have currently?

@@tricky92x Planet Ocean with black rubber strap...gift from my wife.

Good choice!

Good suggestion!

It’s not mirror ball level blingy. But, it can be a bit much at times.

I have the white dial and its hands have some sort of brushing in the middle. I dont think the AT shines as much as the Datejust.

Good call!

Does it already have the easylink of can you add it to the bracelet?

@@HardePeople add it, direct fit upgrade

Steve D good suggestion thanks

Not that I know of.

Did a review on it a long time ago. I didn’t really love it. But maybe I’d warm up to it if I got a chance with it again. Tastes change a lot over time.

@@EazyDaLegend it’s extremely similar to the Explorer, how is the Explorer in the category but not the BB36? It’s basically Tudor’s spin on the Explorer for way less money. It absolutely should be included in this category and probably is the best value amongst all these watches.

Thanks for watching buddy!

I do like non date watches and actually want one as my next purchase but I agree with you if it’s to it everyday watch a date window is nice. If it’s just something in your rotation then mix it up

Congrats on getting the call!

@@JustBlueFish Thank you!!! To be honest I passed up the first call because I didn't have enough money at the time. Then a month later (last week) I got a call from another AD located 3 blocks from my house.... First time purchase from this AD. This time I just had to get it. It was meant to be, it was fate, and I would be foolish to pass this opportunity up again. I'm a little off on my savings, and a credit card, but happy. I'll deal with the wife's wrath soon, but she knows this is my grail LOL. I feel like I don't need another watch. I'm good with my Speedy Pro, IWC Mark XVIII, Seiko Turtle black dial, custom bezel. I was so close to getting a JLC Polaris Automatic black dial. Then later on down the line I was planning to get an Explorer 36mm 114270. The Explorer is the one I wanted since the mid 90's. I just never had the money to afford one. I'm good for now and probably for a long time. There are a few pre-owned watches on my wish list though... Sub 2 line pre-ceramic, JLC Polaris auto, JLC Reverso large small seconds, However, if anything it will be a tough decision between any of these, or it might be a last minute unexpected deal. These things are so freaking expensive even when you find a great price or you save for a year or two....

No easy link on the OP actually. But yes the Explorer has it.

You can buy the original rubber strap for the summer :)

@@JustBlueFish The OP has Easylink since 2020.

Sinn 556 is a great watch! I did a video on it a while back.

I’m wearing mine right now. It makes me question ever getting an explorer or any 3-hand IWC pilot watch.

Keep hearing good things about sinn, need to get my hands on one

True!

I like this one a lot but nobody talk about it.

I have black. I think it’s the most versatile. The blue is beautiful and I’d have been very tempted to go with that if I had dressier watches in my collection. For me, the coloured faces are just a bit more sporty/casual. Black goes in any situation.

The new laurel alpinists are up there as well

Have to disagree on that. The Explorer wears much smaller from my experience/opinion. Not necessarily a bad thing just depends on what you’re looking for.

Scratch magnet.... exactly the same as the explorer then

Yeah definitely, although I don’t love the full polished case on the DJ. Wish it had brushed lug tops like the old models. Still, it’s a great choice.

@@JustBlueFish that’s true it can be a little bit flashy. I own the datejust, submariner and the explorer but in terms of overall comfort the datejust is right up there. Hard to pick though all of them are great. Including the Seamaster. I have a 2531.80 and it keeps as good time as the Rolex in my collection.

Tough choice for sure.

What didn't you like?

@@JustBlueFish the lines put me off. Not that I prefer clean dials, but not a fan of the omega lines in their dials

Wears great though.

Yeah I'm not sure exactly what it is, but something about the hands make it hard to read at times. I thought it's how highly polished they were.

@@JustBlueFish : That’s why I love my Tudor BB58. Besides the esthetic beauty of the watch, the watch is readable in a split second glance.

Hope you get it soon Ernest!

Smp300 is awesome, love my divers. But I’m looking for a bit more understated non-dove watch for my collection.

I also have an omega 300m that I love but I have the blue bezel silver dial version and it’s on the blue rubber. I don’t think it’s as versatile. I’d like to get the factory braclet for it but I’m pretty sure it’s 1k or more just for the bracelet. It would be a lot less blue as well as “dressier”

Which is your pick of the two, 36 or 39mm Explorer?

@@JustBlueFish I honestly find the old 36mm references prettier than the modern 39mm and 36mm versions.

I’ll check it out thanks.

90% ??? 🤣🤣🤣

BB58 by a mile. Classic design and WAY better bracelet/clasp.

I think the Omega is a "better" watch. And it probably should be, it costs a lot more. The BB58 is awesome though. Posted a video on it not long ago. I love it. But it is a diver, pretty different style than the Aqua Terra. Get both if you can!

@@JustBlueFish I give the edge to Omega for the movement. But I'm a bracelet kind of guy so easy win for Tudor !

@@JustBlueFish I wasn't impressed when I had the aqua terra in the hand, the bracelet seemed a bit cheap for an almost £5k watch, I had a longines spirit which was very comparable to the Omega in terms of fit and finish. I now own a bb58 blue and love it, you can feel the Rolex dna in it and it's got a better bracelet. The omega looks better and is more versatile but imo it's overpriced by about £2k.

@@maitrehg the beat rate is lower than the Tudor, what gives the movement the edge.

Pictures of wrist shots are totally not representative of how it looks in person. Depending on my camera lens and distance from the lens I can make a small watch look huge and a big watch look small.

Why’s that?

Mine was the larger model with the blue seconds hand though but many things I suppose. The bracelet on practically all Omega’s are cheap feeling along with the clasp seeming more like an afterthought. The bracelet doesn’t taper. Trying to use the crown to wind and set it was ridiculous. I felt like I was going to break it each time I need to unscrew the crown and pull it out to set it. Although, a friend of mine that has owned various models of Omega watches said he had the same issue with his crowns as well. So maybe it’s normal for Omega watches.

@@philo2197 I am very picky about bracelets. That's why I hate Omega watches. Rolex / Tudor or nothing.

@@maitrehg I agree, a poor bracelet/clasp on a watch ruins the entire watch for me. I even bought the new speedy earlier this year and ended up selling it a month later mostly due to the cheap bracelet and clasp, although it was much better than it’s predecessor.

Fffssss

@@StruanRobertson29 Derp?

Thanks for watching Jon.

Do you own one of these

@@WatchUnwind 201. titanium is too light for me.

@@louiscyfer6944 yeah you look like a pretty big dude I know what you mean as I am a fellow big dude but I like to mix it up with titanium. Are you a body builder or just for hobby ?

@@WatchUnwind i am an old man. i was a bodybuilder. i am 52 now. the avatar pic is currently accurate though.

Thanks for watching.

I like your videos its just you sound like accuracies is very important to you which is rare for a watch inthusiast because for me it's the least important thing. No offense

Thanks for watching!

Apparently not, what is it?

Not enough lume on hour hand, but worse still …the minute hand centre isn’t Lume. It’s fake. There’s lume on the pointer but at night it merges into the hour marker Lume and can’t be read. I bought one and sold after 6 months. Great watch for the everyDAY but not the everyNIGHT. Sadly. Rolexes never have these obvious design faults. That’s why they’re such better watches.

@@johnscott4693 and Rolex bracelets are way better.

@@maitrehg true I spent £100,000 on Rolex this year There’s a reason for that! The Aquaterra was a dip into Omega I’ll never make again. Great to look at but Div 2 vs PremierLeague. ..and I’ve made £40,000 which always helps with Mrs “ how much” Scott

There were several on eBay the day I made the video.

Can't say I've ever seen a Formex.
