WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use RUclipss lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and RUclips deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

Looks like Invicta to me and that’s not a compliment. But you did a great review.
Is anyone else getting “dive watch” burnout?
They are the most popular style still so it’s unlikely to change. I review plenty of non divers though…
@@ilikewatches Gary, I recently got a Casiotron TRN 50. I hope you get a chance to see one in person. It's the smallest wearing 39mm i've ever seen. It's so nice with it's 70s body style with an auto light and multiband. It's an awesome watch. It's my watch of the year and it's no contest. Hope you get to see one sometime soon!
NEVER!!! ... Although I am getting more picky ... Mostly about minimum specs and the look has to 'grab me'.
Yes, I am surfeited with dive watches, or any other watches. Why weren’t they here 10 years ago? Now everyone’s making watches and their cats and dogs crank up watches, too.
Yes, fed up with rotating bezels and thick watches.
The more I look.... Ah no. It's way too Invicta.
Great review. I like the new style 👍🏻
Every time I hear you say, "Ahoy!" (although you sound nothing like him of course), I am reminded of Mr. Burns on The Simpsons answering the telephone in with the original greeting of, *_"Ahoy-hoy."_*
Excellent…..😂
I like the old format better. I liked feeling like I was having a chat with a friend about a watch. Add your amazing macro and I was sold.
I know you want to evolve, but there is something comforting about clicking on a video and knowing what I will get. There was a teacher
that once told me the best format to write a paper was, tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them and tell them what you told them.
I know it is simple, but maybe that would work for reviews as well. Regardless of the format, thanks for the content.
I prefer the old format . Your " off the cuff " style of sharing information is a great skillset to have.
Why do they have the Vostok Amphibia scuba man on the dial if it only rated for 100m? 🤔
I like both review styles. Id love a little more time on the bezel action, with a full rotation and comments on backplay. It looked like you had to move the bezel back to position it correctly at 12. Thanks for the review!
Riology disassembled this carbon watch to explain why it was actually only 100m. It was interesting to see the titanium core inside. He has it on the carbon bracelet though, a bit over my budget...
Prefer the old style.
Noted!
Glad you got these in I’ve always wondered how good they are .
Great review but I prefer the original. Thank you for all the honest reviews!
Preferred the older format… You’re very good at the conversational style.
Talking a little bit faster would help
Put the video playback on 1.5x or even 2x
I do it on basically every vid
The RUclips “playback speed” is a godsend as everyone talks at a different speed. No fault of Gary’s we can all enjoy at our pace!
Unscripted so I’m thinking about what to say as I talk
Naw your pace is good ... Lay back think of England 😏😂 and enjoy the show ...
@ no fault Gary the tools are there for the impatient amongst us.
Appreciate this format and it’s great. I prefer your old style as it’s more you but this is good too! 👏🏻
I really like the Carbon style. The finish doesn’t bother me. Unusual and different.
I like the style of video. I’ll keep watching, no matter which way you do your reviews.
Must be coming up for another duo with Simon.
Different way you do your video, it is not offensive at all, i like all the formats you put on line and what I like the most, is I feel your honest opinion on watches. Keep the good work Gary you’re it’s the right place.
I like to specs put out there early on. As for these watches, no thanks. I have a particular strong dislike for cyclops, and would like to see more no-date watches in general.
Great review and style 🙏
Love them both especially the black carbon - something different. Huge buckles go well on both these watches!
Great review 👍🇬🇧🙂
I think you should do an intro where you are talking to the camera, and then flip the camera to the watch once you start the review
Yeah, I’ve tried that a lot and I think people are divided on it…people like to see the watch early…I’ll give it some thought for sure
Love your videos! This format was fun as well! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you!
Nice dials, interesting finishes.
They are on my wish list.
I enjoyed the format
Gary, your videos are fantastic!
Thank you!
Hi Gary, happy either way, didn't have an issue with the old way to be honest. 😊
Cool, thanks
The bezel on the 2nd one is Timascus
The clicks….oh be still me heart…..the clicks!
Those buckles are shite. However these designs are really up my alley. Regarding the video 🤔, nope, the old format was better
Do you know if the bronze plating will patina?
It won’t
@ilikewatches bummer, the shiny look is ok but a bit of patina could be good too
I love my Aquatrident "open heart" watch, the attention to detail is intricate and beautiful - the lume is the let down, its truly the most beautiful but the colours fade so so quiickly
I think the review style is great. I like aspects of the Ocean model (sandwich meteorite dial and colorway), but the lumed stripes along the side and the strap are non-starters for me. Just think how nice that watch could be if the case was actually constructed of bronze and they dispensed with some of the glitz.
I like the texture of the carbon fibre but I appreciate it must be a bugger to paint.
Nice watch, though I have to say the hands on the carbon watch is too small for the watch.
Also, why does the bronze watch look like it cribbed Zelos Great White diver's caseback?
The new style of videos are nice. Certainly kept my attention fully on the video.
The black carbon fibre looks similar to a Tag Aquaracer
I bought two Zezame watches which I love but I think these by the same company but I hate these two so I will not be buying either. Still love your reviews Gary which ever way you do them.👍
Any Chinese Brand making a dive watch not looking like a 1:1 Sub Homage is worth a look for me. Although I don’t think they are quite there yet. Still very nice. And with these Chinese Brands, the West may not be the primary customer anyway. Thanks for the great review. Who is muppet complaining about your reviews? You do you Gary. Thanks!
The bezel on the bronze is timascus. Or at least that's what it looks like to me. I only know this because I'm into knives and it's a premium scale material in knives
No way is it
@@multipl3 it is titanium Damascus or timascus they list it as such on there website. This definitely adds value to the watch as it’s a premium material for sure.
Some interesting features but somehow they just don’t come together in a cohesive way. The WR is a turn off for a “dive” watch and the overall look just doesn’t mesh for me. Agree about the buckle too…. Looks cheap.
The old style is more you. I see I am not the first to think "Invicta" when watching, I don't own a Invicta.
Not a fan of those watches Gary, a bit Gaudy Invicta style, maybe because I didn't like the watches, but review seemed a bit too long and drawn out, Like the older style review please.
A bit tacky looking for my liking. As others have said too invicta like
Personally the design is too silly . It feels so unintelligent
I'll give them an 'A' for effort.
Goodbye.
I preferred your old rambling style…
Very tacky big invitation vibe from them
£450 is a fair bit for a carbon watch , but it isn't too bad looking , Id give it a go . Not unaffordable, but the face lifts it .
Don't like gold watches .
I haven't finished the video yet, but the infilled lume on the carbon bezel is terrible, it could be because it's carbon but check the close ups......it's really bad
Shit should have waited LoL
at the right place
that tissot carbon fiber was a failure
I think I prefer the other style but I like the topics you are introducing, perhaps it was the transitions but it didn’t seem as slick or as organic as your other videos, just be you.
The black watch looks like a Casio, but badly made.
And the bronze one looks naff.
New review style is just as good as the old and both are excellent 👌, i like both structure and waffling 😁.
Now watches, the "bronze" one is really super cool and price seems right for the fantastic package it is, but why limited to 50 for crying out loud!!
The carbon one is an overpriced gimmick...Sellita in glorified plastic-look-a-like for over 700$ is more than a bit insulting. For 700+ you can go and pick any Wise and look like a million dollars, or simply buy a beefy resin G-Shock that has 98% of the looks of carbon fiber for 25% of the price.
That’s not real meteorite right?
Yes it is…they are fairly common these days and the slice is incredibly thin
yuk
Noted 😂
I appreciate your trying a new format. I prefer your “old” format. Interesting watches, but not my taste. Cheers
Still waiting homage citizen forza from aliexpress 💀
Looks like a Temu product
Well, they are different 👍, just not really my cup of tea.
crazy cool
That looks like a lot of packaging. Is that made in China?
You spelled carbon fiber wrong 😂😂😂😂
We spell it Fibre in the UK
@ you learn something new everyday😂😂😂😂 thank you for teaching me something.
Funny thing is I only just discovered this myself as I thought both looked right but couldn’t understand why 😂
Fibre is the correct spelling of the word; from the Latin Fibra, meaning filament. The French derivative, Fibre, is used in English.
Of course, the USA has altered the word to fiber, in the same way they write liter instead of litre, claiming it's American English. Ironically, they still spell and pronounce ballet, fillet and buffet in the original French...🤷
@ ok I just got a nice little history lesson. I guess it is true what they say American English messes everything up .ol
Since you asked... 'New' format is pointless - it's a normal ILW video, but continually interrupted by on-screen questions, questions you would have answered anyway in the course of your usual video.
If anything, that manner of presentation is one I'd associate with a more amateur creator.
Of course, others may disagree.
But they're wrong. 😅
Keep up the good (normal style) work, old chap.
lol, thanks
