Bulova Jet Star 96B401 Review
This new Bulova reaches back into the company's long and storied history for a design while employing the most up-to-date movement in their arsenal - the Precisionist!
Retro styling meets modern accuracy in this watch where the angular case, styled in emulation of an early 1970's model, is unique yet sedate. The Precisionist movement, accurate to a few seconds per year, is FINALLY placed into a case size even I can wear! At 40mm, it will fit most wrists - even my 6 1/2" one. This Jet Star is attractive, accurate and with the claret dial I chose a real style leader. There are three models available: a silver dial that is a numbered limited edition that comes with both bracelet and strap, a ...

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Review
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.Год назад
Wolbrook is a revived brand in that a French company picked up the brand and began making watches that are very similar or exact matches of historic watches made by Wolbrook before they succumbed to the "quartz crisis". Offered in both mechanical automatic and mecaquartz, there are numerous color/strap combinations in both the Wolbrook and Douglas sub-brand. The watch lines are aviation/diving ...
Skagen Grenen Automatic SKW6863 Review
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
Watch enthusiasts are generally skeptical of a number of things. Two of those are Skagen watches and limited editions. This watch is both. I have several Skagen watches and think highly of their style. I like the Danish Modernist style...it's like a kindler, gentler Bauhaus! Limited editions are another matter and I just don't take notice of them. In this case, my new Skagen Grenen (Reference S...
Berny AM138M Automatic Review
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
The Berny AM138M Automatic, an homage to the famous Swiss railway clocks, features a Miyota 8215 movement and a midsize 40mm case. The draw for me was the fully lumed dial. How does it stack up? Was it an illuminating effort on Berny's part? To find out, you'll have to Watch It!
Nodus Sector GMT Review
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.2 года назад
A number of microbrands have been scrambling to take advantage of the new Seiko GMT movement - the NH34. Based on the venerable workhorse NH35, the NH34 puts an affordable GMT movement in the hands of independent watch brands. Having a Nodus Sector Sport and viewing it very positively, I jumped on this Nodus Sector Sport GMT when it was first announced. I like Nodus based on my experience with ...
Timex Ironman Classic 30 T5H5919J Review
Просмотров 11 тыс.2 года назад
The Timex IRONMAN Classic 30 Full-Size Resin Strap Watch is a tough digital watch that can do anything. The wearer can swim with it, time one's workouts, utilize the numerous alarms and with Timex's "Indiglo" feature, it can be viewed at any time in any lighting conditions. I found it's controls easier to manipulate than the SKMEI or Casio digital watches. But, how does it stack up? Is it worth...
Tissot Couturier Automatic Review
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
Feeling in a more "dress watch mood", I picked up what appeared to be a very handsome Tissot automatic. It employs the controversial Powermatic 80 movement, a derivative of the tried and true ETA 2824-2. This Tissot Couturier (reference T035407A) features day and date with sapphire crystal and 100m WR. Picking it up on Amazon Warehouse Deals made this Swiss dress watch a little less difficult o...
Timex Expedition North Titanium Automatic Review
Просмотров 24 тыс.2 года назад
In this video, I look at the new Timex Expedition North Titanium Automatic. This Timex field watch shows Timex has really upped their game! It features a titanium case, sapphire crystal, mechanical automatic movement, screw-down crown and 200m water resistance! It comes on an "eco-friendly" strap and is packaged with recycled materials. This watch shows that Timex has an ongoing commitment to e...
Seiko Automatic SZSB018 Review
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 года назад
Picked up this Seiko automatic and thought it looked like a budget "Alpinist"...that is if any Seiko can be said to be a "budget" watch. With the usual Seiko fit and finish - and a modern hacking movement - it looked to be a worthwhile pickup. Found it on Amazon Warehouse at a significant discount and that sweetened the deal! Did it turn out to be a bargain? Is it a good watch worthy of being i...
Cadisen Retro Diver C 8206G Review
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.2 года назад
I received this watch free of charge from Amazon.com as part of their Vine Voice program in exchange for a fair, honest review. This Cadisen diver is billed as a vintage Subbie homage. I chose the black/gilt color combination and find it attractive. Like most Chinese watches you see on Amazon or AliExpress, one can expect good fundamentals like all stainless construction and sapphire crystal. D...
Thomas Earnshaw Echelon Review
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.2 года назад
The Thomas Earnshaw Echelon Automatic is an interesting and attractive watch to me for a couple reasons. Firstly, it has a lot of retro touches such as the linen dial. Secondly, it is powered by a Ronda R150 - a competitor to the ETA 2824 - by Swiss maker of fine quartz movements that has taken it upon itself to offer an excellent high-beat, Swiss made automatic movement. It's a traditional dre...

Seestern SUB600T Review
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
In this video, we'll be taking a look at the SEESTERN SUB600T, reference S407. This is a homage of a Doxa SUB600T and it follows the Doxa tradition of offering a diver in a variety of bright colors. Though SEESTERN is German for Sea Star (or Starfish), there's no connection to Germany and is a Peoples Republic of China based brand under the Suggess umbrella which includes other watch brands. Th...

Invicta Signature Series 7044 Review
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
In today's video, I take a look at Invicta's Signature Series Pro Diver with white dial and "Coke" bezel color scheme. This watch, reference 7044, is more than just a Pro Diver. To me, this is Invicta's Pro Diver as it should have been - original and unique. Dial, hands and markers are quite the departure from the subbie homage Pro Diver we are all familiar with. Still, there are flaws - flaws ...

Timex 1978 Reissue Falcon Eye Review
My watch's size is 16 and this watch is 42 mm. I wonder if it will be too big?
I don't know for sure. The lug-to-lug is decent so it just may work for you?
Ahi ahi. This or the marlin sub dial? Tks
I just got it on Wednesday of this week and I have to say that it is a beautiful watch with high quality materials. I bought it on sale on Amazon and I am surprised. It is an imposing watch with a beautiful dial. I never tire of looking at it. It has a second hand stop since its movement is Miyota caliber 8315 which is the last of the calibers in the 8 series with a sixty-hour power reserve. It has a transparent case back and 21 jewels. The lumen it has is strong and the magnifying glass (cyclops eye) helps a lot to see the calendar. The rubber strap is of great quality (the watch is assembled in Japan and the strap is manufactured in the People's Republic of China). Dust does not stick to the strap. It has diamond-shaped holes that help sweat to transpire. The glass is high-quality mineral glass. The buckle is stainless steel. It is for wrists of 8 inches maximum. Its crown is fifth-hand with TX. The only thing it lacked was that it was screwable since it has a crown protector. I confess that I did not have the money and I bought it on credit but honestly I don't regret it. If you want a serious diver's watch of normal dimensions, don't think twice about buying it when you see it in the online store with a good discount.

Are the arabics greens on this? Or are they white/creamy? Thank you for the review!
Does this feel big on you given the lug to lug size?
No, and I've got a 6 1/2" wrist.
The best review on this watch. Ty
I can’t seem to unscrew the crown on mine to set the time. Such a frustrating shi**y manual on their site 😡
I figured it out.
That's odd. You're trying to turn the crown counter-clockwise, right?
@ I had to go counter to loosen it and set it but it was very tight and won’t budge at first. Man I almost returned it but I used a tweezer covered with a thick cloth to jam it loose.
@@techinallday8926 cool! One of my biggest gripes is poor owners manuals across the board, not just Timex!
@@watchit5985 yeah Timex dropped the ball on that one.
Do you have a link to buy from Aliexpress? Or what is the exact model number?
great review! Thank you!
Welcome!
Maybe an important info for everyone who is interested. I got mine yesterday and it looks like they changed the lugs. The drilled in New holes so you can also use straight spring bars
Thanks for the update!
So so late on this piece yet to grab one.... Great review....
Thanks! 😁
Beautiful Watch and Review!!
Whats the weight of this watch?
I’ve just spotted this on AE and ordered the one you have reviewed here for £22 delivered inc tax ! Had to as I’m not a dress watch person and like a bigger dial so I NEEDED one . The other positive with it is I won’t be disappointed with the lume as usual with PD .
I bought this watch for 250e this week,but now i`m thinking if i should send it back and get Seiko 5 Srpg35 or not...any opinion? xD
You should do what YOU want, based on your likes and dislikes, not mine. For ME, it's the Timex all the way. The Timex is titanium, Seiko SRPG35 is stainless, the Timex has sapphire crystals while the Seiko is Hardlex. The Timex has 200m WR while the Seiko is 100m WR. In both cases, you have workhorse movements running at 21,600 beats per hour so that's a draw. But, that's not the only things we look for, are they? There's also style and we all look at things differently. It'd be a boring world if we all liked the exact same things, right?😉
@ well thanks! This is the most accurate answer I got 🫡
just bought the green one for 60GBP, unless you go Aliexpress no established brand sells you a automatic watch for that price. its a great beater watch, makes a fantastic starter watch for those seeking to start a watch collection.
Invicta Pro Diver has a better Seiko movement, real dive bezel, twice the WR for less. There are more options available at that price or just a little more. Seiko screws their own loyal customers by deliberately choosing to sell them inferior products.
Lorus now has Solar Quartz in this design format AX9.superb value. <seiko don't make cheap watches, just reliable,accurate, good value ones, imo.- everyone can afford, what the Swiss used to do.browse brands Seiko,Pulsar.Lorus, Alba(JDM).
That is one stunning looking watch. Beautiful. Now I have to consider one grrrrrrrr !!!
Hi 👋 It's a damn good watch. Is the back exhibition case made of Sapphire or Mineral Crystal ?
Yeah, if you look back at where I test the crystal, I turn it over and test the exhibition caseback and it's sapphire crystal too! 👍
Just got one of these for $50 at a pawn shop. Love that place, also found a Hamilton there once for $100. My first deep diver and I can feel good about using it. Already bricked a Hamilton and victorinox that both has eta 2824 movements
Wow! Great pick ups! That's one heck of a pawn shop!!!! 😁
I ordered the same watch, how many days does the mechanism work if you don't wear it?
Power reserve for that movement is 42 hours so less than 2 days.
A lot of cardboard for a 400$ watch
Chill out Hitchcock! Just a watch review 😊 jk, great intro
Only complaint I've got about Timex Ironman/Expedition watches is that they aren't solar-powered. THAT would make them perfect. G-shocks are overpriced as hell now so yeah.
I don’t change mine. I just order a new one off Amazon.
This is a sapphire sandwich
It a great watch...And value for money..Light, Strong, Elegant & Classic
My wife gifted me one last year. Beautiful watch ❤
Hmmmm....tough choice between this bulova and the tissot prx. What do you reckon?
I'm a Bulova fan so I'm biased! 😀
Some Timex model, same display have a very different indiglo lume. I don’t know why.. This is how a indiglo should be, as I remember it
Can't change the day of the week smh?
Great watch, bling-free, no nonsense, love it.
Lo tengo desde hace quince días . Muy bonito, y no es grande . A mi no me regalaron unas gafas de sol 😢
Sides look polished and brushing on the bracelet is pretty good
Nice. Adding this to my wishlist.

Better than Gshocks ❤
Damn I bought the same watch, hopefully my movement is functional. Good review!
wow thats a thick watch

How much
Hello, I need to ask a question about the Expedition North Titanium. On the Green strap / Grey dial verison Timex mentions the use of super Luminova for the hands and hour markers. Is this the same for the Black strap / Black dial version like the one you review? They don't mention Super Luminova on the black version and it's a bit confusing.
5:23 - О ! Вот это то, шо надо ! :))
thankyou
One of the best maybe the best watch reviews on RUclips! Excellent intro. Great background music. And you didn’t need to say one word. Your videos spoke for itself. Simple wording and that’s all I needed to read. I just subscribed. Great work! Great watch!
Thanks, man! Cheers!
Cheers with the Timex my brother
Where can u buy this?
Have you tried ebay?
@@watchit5985yeah I can’t find it, has it been discontinued?
@@watchit5985yeah I can’t find it but I have found the 96a275 it looks the same with an extra open heart bit do you know if these are the same type just bit different design?
Picked up the oversized version of this for cheap, open box special, never would've tried one otherwise. So glad I did. Wears really nice for its size compared to my other favorite cheap brand.
Beautiful watch and beautiful video and outstanding music.
Thanks! I still have mine and use it as a beater. Great for yardwork or sports!
I bought the one with the grey linen dial with a grey leather strap. Looks good, Ronda 150 inside. 😊
You have good taste, man!
I really like this watch however it's a straight knock off of a submariner and I wish they would have used a better Movement and Sapphire crystal instead of the Marine that scratches easily.. I'm so Happy Timex is getting back into Automatics but they are getting out played by aliexpress brands that have -2+2 SH35 movements which are far better than this -40+40 Movement.. and they often have Sapphire crystal and steel enclosures as well.. I did pickup the Waterbury Classic Automatic though even with the same flaws I outlined it makes for a nice minimalistic dress watch and at least that one isn't a blatant copy like the navi is.. I still do really like this Navi for what it is and I don't recall ever seeing a gun metal Submariner so that's a cool take for sure.
