Big but balanced diver - RZE Aspirare Titanium sexiness
If you know me well enough by now, you know why I had to get this Aspirare. A men’s watch actually made in a men’s size!! 44mm but oh so lightweight and easy to wear being made from pure titanium. But the high end attributes don’t end there. Sapphire, Superluminova, nicely detailed textured dial, gliding micro adjustment clasp, and more.

Is this slim Christopher Ward the best daily wear diver?
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.3 месяца назад
Christopher Ward is often talked about among fanatics of microbrands, even though they’ve exploded with growth that technically puts them outside of microbrand territory. Some have a strong passion for them based on the quality, fit and finish, and the detractors mainly focus on higher than average pricing but never having experienced one for themselves in person means that their opinion can be...
The most amazing Titanium watch you don’t know about!
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 месяца назад
I spent the duration of this video preventing myself from squealing from excitement like a little child. I am a massive fan of Mechanical Exploration and love the one I bought a little over a month ago (and reviewed) in black PVD stainless steel. Now I have the chance to come out here and show the upcoming fully titanium version of the MS1001, and I’m pretty stoked about it. Along with the revi...
Aragon Divetank 40mm is a 500m beast
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
Aragon has the right idea, take popular models and make them in a regular and a large size so that nobody feels left out when they see a design that they like. The Divetank is a square diver offered in both 40mm and in 48mm. For the little guys and the monsters out there. Powered by the popular SII NH35 movement and exhibiting a blast of vibrant color with its teal sunray finished dial, it’s an...

Another home run in my opinion, the Dumas GMT by Spinnaker has a stunning degree of finish work that simply is t captured by photography, making this a wonderful surprise in-hand. They offer so many incredible color choices in all of their watches, so it can be challenging to choose just one.

Stalingrad Defender - Titanium
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
Stalingrad Watches. It’s an unusual name choice for a watch brand, especially one from Hong Kong, but it’s not a disappointing watch for the price. At $299, you’re getting all titanium construction with a Fluororubber strap and a sapphire crystal on a 200 meter diver. The dial is honestly the next big reason you’re buying this aside from the titanium. It’s got a wonderful topography. I’d this a...
Winfield Watch Co. MT5 Parabellum- The watch that’ll put hair on your…..
Просмотров 5804 месяца назад
There are a ton of poser watches out there. Trying to be “tactical-cool”, look rugged and beefy, look like they live up to the toughness of our everyday gear, but then you get it in your hand and the case feels hollow because it’s to lightweight, the case size is made for a girl, and the lume sucks. But they’ll have a cool name on it and a cool story behind it. Well, Winfield Watch Company has ...

The cyberpunk watch: MECEXP (Mechanical Exploration) MS1001. Linear Flyback.

As a collector, we often search out quirky, unique and complex ideas that a casual watch wearer wouldn’t even consider. They’re not always practical and they’re not styled to be “for everybody”, but they’re fun and excite something inside of us because of innovation, design or craziness in general. This watch, the MS-1001 by Mechanical Exploration is ALL of that in one watch. A truly unique and...

    Twenty-four years in the military, fourteen-plus years in law enforcement. Tried my hand at rodeo, mixed martial arts, motocross, and mountain bike racing. Just took delivery of the USAF TACP Parabellum. I’m extremely impressed! Despite the fact that I am 6’ and over 200 lbs., I have very small wrists. This watch is the absolute limit in size for me. My next largest watch is a Reactor that I haven’t worn in years and a Seiko dive watch. Good review.

    I agree with you on the case diameter is important, I have a 6.5 in wrist and the 38mm fits great for my wrist and looks proportionate. I do have larger watches 42-44mm and even though I can pull it off, they just don't look proportionate to my wrist.

    I have an 8" wrist and the smallest watch in my collection (not counting my grandfathers Rolex Thunderbird) is my 39mm Tudor Ranger. I thought 39 looked small on me but I wore the watch for a week straight and trust me, it looks normal after a couple of days. Honestly, lug to lug is more important than case width.

    @davidbennett4395 Месяц назад

    As far as the size of the watch goes, I think it just depends on the watch and the wearer. I know that my buddy who collects Rolex is and omegas likes the 39. He feels like those are ideal and in truth if that's what Rolex is making, then you at least have a decent argument. Most guys can't help the size of their wrist. I wish I had an 8-in wrist as well as other body parts but I don't. 7 in will have to do at least for my wrist. What's the best size for 7-in wrist? Honestly, I don't know yet, but I'm hoping the 43 is a good size.

  • @davidbennett4395
    @davidbennett4395 Месяц назад

    I have one ordered and I'm really hoping it's as nice as I think it's going to be. My only concern was that it might be too big. I have a 7-in wrist. I'm hoping I really like it and it looks good on my wrist. My everyday wear is a pro Trek ABC by Casio. I wouldn't wear anything bigger than that. That one's really pushing it but I love the watch so I wear it. I'm pretty sure my Casio is bigger than 43 mm.

    What do you mean the "no, no hours"? Can't I just set the date and time anytime I want?

    • @SpotlightWatchReview
      @SpotlightWatchReview Месяц назад

      I’m sorry, I usually explain this, but I don’t want to bore anyone by doing it again. During several displayed hours through the night, the calendar gear is engaged and manually advancing the calendar can chip teeth off the wheel and cause irreparable damage. Different movement are engaged for different durations. Som Seiko movements have the date wheel engaged for 4-5 hours. Some Swiss movements only one hour. So the safest way to look at the no-no hours is any time that the hands display 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock. Setting the date manually here is a no-no. Instead, set the hands to display 6 o’clock. Then set the date to the day PRIOR to the date you want displayed. Then manually advance the hands past midnight then the date will flip by itself naturally and then set the correct time after that.

    I’ll comment about the lume.. I have a few that have amazing lume. Crazy bright and long lasting. Wise. Seiko. The U1 is not that. In fact, it’s a little underwhelming. I was a bit disappointed on day one. BUT.. the clarity of the crystal, the inky blackness of the dial, the contrast of those giant hands and markers, the size of the dial overall.. makes the U1 the most legible in low light even thought it’s not as bright.

    Still a lot of People hear Chinese made and automatically assume poor quality, that just isn't the case anymore, the Quality of a lot of Chinese Manafacturing has improved significantly, and the spec you get with a lot of watches is incredibly competitive, so much bang for your Buck, even with the Taxes & shipping charges. Only thing that has room for improvement is the Customer assistance & shipping. I only wish they do more original designs, because they're capable, example some of the St Martin original design watches, they managed to knock them out of the Park.

    Congrats! Good video! Since you asked: Steeldive SD1970 Cap. Willard homage is arguably the MVP of AliEx homages. Got one AND a Seiko SPB151J. Already took them both to apneia diving sessions under 16 to 20 meters deep in the sea without a problem. Of course it's shallow waters, but goes to show that for the average recreational swim the SD is very reliable. BTW it is worth noting that the WR is measured in ATM (not meters), so even if you don't go very deep it is important to know the watch endures pressure (relevant if you'll swim in the sea with hard waves and vigourous strokes or if you'll practice any sort of aquatic sports - hence subject to impacts on the water.)

    Good looking watch with nice included options. Build quality for RZE always seems to be on point from their first watch years ago. On this one, the only thing I might have changed on the lume is making the second hand tip green lume. It matches the trapezoidal markers and it makes more sense to just have the minute hand and timing bezel be blue lume as those 2 elements work together for timing. A very minor knit pick.
