    Nice review. I am thinking about getting a Momentum. The second hand alignment things an irritant for me too. Don’t know why manufacturers can’t get around this. Cost probably. Anyway, how loud is the tick and how well does the lume hold up through the night? Thanks.

    Bunch of ‘ Erica’s’ shills here 🤣 I have, leather, nato, SS bracelets and parachute elastic. I have been favoring the elastic bands recently. Very comfortable. Look nice on tool watches. No problems sliding around if you size correctly for watch weight. Tip…Easy to hook if you go corner first. 🍻 cheers

    Good video. I haven't had any personal experience with a Trove Cash Wrap but do own and carry cash wraps made by other makers. Based on my experience, you could reduce the challenges of putting cash in the Trove cash wrap if you bundled all the bills you plan to carry that day and inserted them in the appropriate slot all at once. It will virtually eliminate the fumbling. The Trove does look to be a very good wallet. Just a thought. Take care and have a great day.

    PRO TIP. Erika's STRAPS. for your skinny arms. BUY THE SHORT VERSION. No such thing as a CON if you know where to look. Why is it that every reviewer in RUclips has to mention a Con side. At the end of the day. It's a CON FOR YOU. Anything else is pretty much subjective to the buyer as everyone is different.

    I don't know what's wrong with me. Im not able to fasten it while its on my wrist like you did. I have to fasten it then stretch it over my wrist. Then that loosens it slightly and adjusting size while on wrist is also difficult. Its really a hassle to get it fitting well for me but when it is its easy the most comfortable strap ive ever worn. Im using the Ericas brand one though so maybe ill give this one a go.

    It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. AMZWATCH watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

    This watch, but with a black dial, has been identified as the daily watch of the mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (also known as AMLO). Just yesterday, it was one of the topics in the daily conference of the President: ruclips.net/video/h-R77s3Tj2I/видео.htmlsi=G0B63lIUwx1iQ8LW That is why, looking for a review, I found this very good one. The watch has been a trend topic because the media fabricated a small scandal. AMLO predicates austerity, especially all for public servants. He sold the presidential airplane, travels in commercial flights and in economy class, lowered his salary as president, etc. So, the media, including GQ Magazine, has been talking about the President's luxury watch, an IWC Pilot Mark XVIII, for a while, insinuating he is a liar. Without mentioning the brand AMLO has explained many times, his watch is not the one mentioned, but a reliable, budget, quartz watch. A gift from a friend. I thought you may find this story interesting.

  • @bidipbo
    @bidipbo 3 месяца назад

    I mean yeah, if you ignore the fact that the elasticity dies and the material frays on the sides and the fact that it is one continuous piece of textile, sure, it's somewhat more comfortable than any other of the various options. But then there is the price, which is always more expensive than a nato alternative that lasts indefinitely, as compared to this. I used to think these were great alternatives, particularly if it were lightly used, in the rotation of other watches. But, no, it turns out this strap has the same shelf life as a genuine rubber strap - 18 months - and that includes light use.

      Haha luckily I have both! Boldr wears better on my wrist given it has shorter lug lengths but the momentum is noticeably lighter/thinner since it’s quartz. I quite enjoy both though so I flips back and forth between them.

    I love quartz watches. I like this watch, but that clasp is irritating. But I do appreciate the domed sapphire. Screw down crown is cool, because you won’t have to mess with the crown too much anyway. I would like it better without a date window. Overall, it looks like a solid watch. I wonder how accurate it is. And the full lume dial is awesome.

    • @stuffonatabletop
      @stuffonatabletop 3 месяца назад

      I can confirm it’s accurate, I’ve switched to another watch for the summer so it’s been sitting in a case for the past month and it’s still running on time! And yes domed sapphire is my favourite part! :)

    amazon has all kinds of colors, but no fancy patterns except for a single line of various colors. There are two significant drawbacks to this specific style of elastic strap. #I. The sliding bracket which receives the hook does exactly that, slides down the strap when worn necessitating constant readjustment. #2. Its single loop design doesn't provide enough rigidity when worn with your heavier sport watches.

  • @DookeyRidr
    @DookeyRidr 4 месяца назад

    I’ve got 3 different MN straps: 2 from Erika’s, one from Prometheus DW-one of the Erika’s straps is very soft and comfortable, but has lost a lot of it’s elasticity over the years that I’ve had it. The other one has material that isn’t as soft, so therefore isn’t any more comfortable than a regular nato strap. The PDW MN strap is very soft, and very comfortable, but is also very new and still retains elasticity. On the other hand, my favorite, most comfortable straps are my Bonetto Cinturini #328 rubber natos. Most comfortable straps imo.

      Hello! Like most watches, if you wear it on your non-dominant hand, your other dominant hand should be able to fasten it no problem. Similar to wearing a 2 piece leather strap though, you might have to flip and turn your non-dominant hand occasionally, pressing it onto your body for stability while your dominant hand works. A bracelet would be easier to wear.
