Not Your Average Microbrand! 24k Gold Filled Wise Watches AD15 Review
20 dollars Casio has more usages than a 10,000 dollar Rolex just to be truthful.
Your content deeply resonates with viewers! ˎ "Selfˎbelief is your greatest strength..."
Just bought the blue one with kamasu II name. About 320e. Cant wait for next week to get it.
Really good summary. Your review was what helped me make the decision to buy this beautiful watch, which arrives in a week. Thank you so much!
Great discussion! Although I personally love pointer dates, I completely agree with your criticism.
I think you meant to say tritium rather than radium.
Great video Shane. I was already quite familiar with the various complications and have samples of most of them in my collection. I thought you did an excellent job of explaining and assessing their merits. Question, have you done a review of the Wise GMT that appears at 15:43 of the video? I’m seriously considering this watch and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks.
Not yet. I'm actually working on it now. It's pretty good. Definitely a wise, and the best lume I've seen on a GMT. The only thing I'm a little mixed on is the bracelet. I wish it had more taper, it just goes down from 20 to 18.
Thanks, I look forward to seeing it when you post it. I don't own a Wise yet but they look beautiful. I'm particularly attracted to the color of the one you show in the video. I don't have anything in my collection of that color scheme. Thanks again.
Unintentional ASMR... :D
Fantastic! One of your best videos ever.
Thanks!
Great video!!! Well done and produced
Thank you 😊
Awesome video on this topic! I have been collecting watches for about five years and this information filled in a lot of gaps. I will recommend this video to anyone who is interested in horological information. I know this video took a lot of time to prepare. Well done!
Great Video!. I am new to collecting (about 2 years) and beginning to expand my GMT collection. I love that complication. Also, my price point has gone up as well. I have been looking at the Ball GMTs (Tritium). This video gave me a better understanding of that particular aspect of the Ball brand. Should I pay more for a GMT with Tritium, or less for a solid movement, good lume, and the same great design? Always an education. Thanks again.
Shane, this video inspired me to take one of my first watches out of its case and wear it for a while: My Vostok "GMT" Neptune Amphibia!!!
The Vacheron Constantin 57260 has a few more complications, but do you need an alarm power reserve indicator or a Hebrew perpetual calendar (although Petite Sonnerie would be nice).
I love multiband, it really is a set-and forget watch
The only reason to be a corrupt polititian having envelopes passed below the desk. Oh and yeah i guess the kids too or something.
?
Forgot the chiming or alarm complications
The older I get the less I want on the dial. That’s a kind way of saying I can’t see as well as I used to. Date is a must and day is a bonus. Beyond that and I will just use a digital watch or my phone. Used to travel internationally a lot and a travelers GMT was a must. Then I got an Oceanus which made things really easy. Now I’ve been using a non-GPS Seiko Astron and all the others sit in the watch box.
Great video. I disagree with a few things, but everyone is going to have a complication that they like/use vs one that someone else doesn't. Tritium has changed the way I wear a watch. It's so easy to tell the time in the middle of the night when I wake up....
Just ordered this watch and the bronze watch with blue dial. I was surprised to find their bronze watch SOLD OUT while i was still surfing their website!!! So i talked to customer service and didnt get any reply but found 2 pieces magically appear on their website. Fckn pressed that BUY button so HARD am sure he felt it in Thai-land 😅
LOL hope you enjoy them. Wise makes fantastic watches.
I disagree on the 24 hour marks , I really like it and think many other people do too. Other than that awesome video 👌🏻
Sounds like it. I'm suprised how many people like them.
Great video, and explanations. The one complication that bugs me is that GMT hand. For me it ruins the look of a great watch. Example GS. I have mostly divers with minute timers. Use them daily for lunch time , other things. Useful . Chronographs, style, some function. Fun to watch. Have a SRQ seiko mechanical with a white vintage dial. Stunner, useful thick😮 watch. Have a few qts also. Citizen bullheads are cool, cheap. Day date? Jdm with kanji is the bomb! Other wise....meh. For me the watches I have mostly fit my current life style. I am a farmer. Divers, all from a old Seiko ,to an omega planet ocean. Tools. Wear my seiko SLA divers to work. Tough field, or 3 handers work also. Don't have any gshocks, or other digital watches. No apples. Yuck, not for me. GMT is the same. No use to me. I have the silver dial Bulova like yours. Fantastic accurate watch. Cool to watch the sweep. The GS spring drive is a different animal. Most of the newer ones run about .5 sec plus a day. Bought an older one. Sbga111. Runs at 0 . Really fun watching the sweep on the green hand on my 429. Thanks for the great video
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much!
Watch complications are totally useless in a mechanical watch, because it adds complexity and cost to the overall package. If you want complications buy an Apple Watch.
Not all of them. I mean a timing bezel is pretty cheap.
I missed the compass complication 😆
I prefer day/date and GMT as I do travel between continents and also have family in different continents.
Honestly other than the date, pretty much every complication is unnecessary. The only reason for them is because of their beauty.
Moved back to 3 handers. The Sarbs. I probably retire them and sell them before I rerire myself and switch to a titanium multiband 3 hander JDM Citizen.
Great video. The am/pm sub dial is often a left over from mechanical calendar watches, to remind you not to manually set or adjust the calendar during the time when the mechanism is engaged. Often between 20:00 to 04:00. Love the Chanel, keep up the great work!
24hr subdials are also very useful if you're either very up north or south. Where it either stays light all day or dark. Same goesv for 24hr watches. I love them.
@@HVG67 I didn't think about that, but it's a good point. Heading to Alaska next month, maybe I'll bring one with.
Any thoughts on how Bluetooth devices strapped to your body affect your health?
It's very low energy, which is sort of why it was developed. So I'm not concerned. The energy coming off a phone in your pocket would be more something to think about, but it's been about 30 years since folks started doing that. So far no major issues arising.
The 24-hour subdial on an automatic is very useful so you don't set the date at the wrong time. the 24-hour subdial is very useful because it keeps you from setting the date while in the danger zone
For my personal use, I've found ana-digi displays useful in low-light situations where I need to be able to check the time with one hand (using the luminescent indices on my Seiko Arnie), and the digital display is useful for when I need precise timekeeping that's easily legible.
Great video. I would have added: (1) 24-hour and (2) one hand watches
I don't care if a watch has a date or not, but I never bother to set it. That said, I wear my watches on a rota basis, and each watch only get's worn about once a month. What I don't like is the day date function. I love a good bezel, but never use it, and the same can be said for my GMT watches. Not a fan of chronographs, and positively hate digital watches. Great video mate
Him and cluttering the dial😂😂😂😂 should some watches not have a cluttered dial should they all be the same😂😂😂😂😂
I work in a heavy machinery weighted workplace., an enviroment where it's quite easy to get injured and, anything your wear might get damaged, including your watch. To have an accurate timepiece is important to me. I need to know the time, by the second or, close to it. The watches you talk about are very nice. But. They wouln't last very long in the real world. Or at least where I need to know the time. I wear a Timex digital watch. I have two of them them. Keep one in the car in case I lose one for what ever reason. They are always accurate and dependable. My dress watch is a blue face Tudor Pelagos, 2020 from new. Don't wear it very often but, it is a lovely time piece.
I know is just a small tiny help, but sometimes you get instructions on 24h format, it's just a -12 simple rest with your head to have the standard time, but it's nice to have a subdial showing you the 24h there, I work for a client on LA and our team is spread from Miami, Spain, UK and... India 🤣 there's no a single watch that really can help us with that, best thing is the mult time zone clock on our phones, great video, super entertaining to see 👌
What a well presented view - thank you.
Interesting that you mention first responder & ER person in conjunction with moon-phase. For those who don't know, people often do act more weird during full moons.....as first responders & nurses can attest to.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well, I hear about it every month when my wife heads to work (ER). As in "O shit.. it's a full moon tonight."
Great video, well explained. One of the complications I actually never used, is the side rule bezel on the citizen promaster skyhawk, it's an internal one, very hard to read, but it's there. Multiband 6, tough solar, eco drive are great things. The compass and barometer are frequently used on my casio mudmaster. I prefer the quartz movements, I have some orient automatic ones but they are not very accurate, going fast almost 30 second a day. The other one is slower, minus 20 sec a day. I know it's normal for this kind of movements, but I like accurate time on my wrist.
I'm with you 100% on tritium (and 24 hour dials!), my 25 year old Datejust hasn't had useable lume for ten years. Great points, interesting to watch and invaluable for beginners.
i love you so much! I recently just found your amzwatch and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
All mechanical watches are useless complications that are expensive, inaccurate, delicate and expensive to service. And we love them. Choosing a cutoff point for what mechanical complications “make sense” doesn’t make sense.
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Date-still practical and useful. If it doesn’t bother you design wise. Everything else, depends on personal preferences. I agree with your points, quite nailed it on each one. I appreciate solar/photovoltaic watches, I find them very practical, in a sunny region where I am at.
Shane, great helpful video for the general user . Thanks. About Multiband 5/6 functionality, I live in the Netherlands and get my signal from the Mainflingen radio tower complex in Germany. My reception is great. Even in my toilet in the house, it synchronised perfectly. I watched it one night doing my male business. I do understand that this great complication is useless in Australia or Africa, and Bluetooth control is the way forward. But I love the science behind it.😊
BALL has best tritium options
i got the pierre paulin salmon jumping hour.
Monta has been on my radar for a long time unfortunately their prices make them out of reach for me. But the quality is obvious and they're beautiful as well. One day maybe I will own a Monta.
If easy to use and beginner friendly are important multi band 6 and tough solar are very tough to beat
