I recently bought this watch it is worth it looks beautiful after wearing and it is a seiko in disguise after buying this watch i brought 4 more alba automatic different design and colors .. Loved them all
In the name of affordable, the only tiffany blue color is you’re getting. No sapphire, no hacking, no hand winding, rattling bracelet, noisy rotor like miyota, below average lume. Only the sub brand of seiko you’re getting with day date and Tiffany blue
While i agree with you, there are hardly any offerings in the automatic movement in tiffany colour in less than 10k. In less than 10k, we always get miyota, clanky bracelet, sometimes sapphire, size, design, quality are also sub standard by major brands. There is a good offering in tiffany by citizen and casio in 10k and 12k (edifice) but both in quartz. Casio also has a popular tiffany quartz in much lower price but again the same issues. Therefore, it is just a tiffany alternative. HMT also has an option but with their own issues.
An automatic watch is always considered to be far more valuable than a pretty quartz watch. Any watch enthusiast/horology expert will agree on this. For 10k, its amazing that we are getting a Seiko branded automatic watch. Automatic watches are usually very expensive.
@@iliveinsecrecy that’s a pretty outdated movt. In 10k, automatic enthusiast will get nh35 movt watch. That’s what I’m saying. This doesn’t look that premium too. By adding few bucks, one can get seiko watches like snkl/snxs/snka series which looks thousand dollar timepiece with same movt. Automatic watch lover will prefer that first than alba.
Its okayish for the price with a +/- 30 seconds observed accuracy per day. Its a discontinued movement by seiko. Anyways there is no handwinding in the watch so literally it works as long as it is on your wrist.
It is provided by Seiko. There are dedicated contact nos for each region, online tickets can also be generated. They have retailers who are typically tier 2 watch retailers, i think who will be able to do the basics. Though i have never tried any of these.
Is it normal for alba watch that needs constant shaking? I bought brand new one from shop and it needs some shaking I thought these kinda watched will run on its own
Yes it is normal. Alba does not support hand winding, that is you know rotating the crown to wind it up. Therefore, one needs to shake it up to start. So, it will keep running as long as you wear it, so no problem. If you remove it from the wrist, it will keep running for few hours and then it miggt stop. So just shake it up again and wear and you are good to go.
Not much...after full day of wearing it is giving 6-8 hours. It works fine as long as you keep wearing it, there is no hand winding to jack up the power reserve.
If you are ok with a quartz Casio 108 is a better proposition because of better quality and sapphire crystal. This one is a automatic but without hand winding option. So you can expect it will keep running nicely as long as it is on the wrist.
Dude i dont understand the day wheel of this watch. It has the name of the day as well as the roman depiction it as well so i gotta reset the date everyday. What are your thoughts on this?
Yes it is a problem. See i treat this watch as a non-automatic watch because of very poor power reserve. So the rule can be whenever you are wearing it you can correct the day, which i agree is very irritating.

Yes, it has the right sweet spot and some of offerings by Alba off late are quite compelling.

You are welcome.
Beautiful colour ❤ and review.
What about it's movement? Any good? Lifespan?
Its okayish for the price with a +/- 30 seconds observed accuracy per day. Its a discontinued movement by seiko. Anyways there is no handwinding in the watch so literally it works as long as it is on your wrist.
@@travelandwatches umm 30secs... Worth the price? What do you think?
@@Mr.khan2k2 i wont say bad as it is still a mechanical, would have been better with NH-35A.
@@travelandwatches so... ppl CAN buy this... Thanks
Try argos Apollo 3@@Mr.khan2k2 better with sapphire crystal
This is dress watch or diver watch ?
Dress watch.
How about the after sales service support?
It is provided by Seiko. There are dedicated contact nos for each region, online tickets can also be generated. They have retailers who are typically tier 2 watch retailers, i think who will be able to do the basics. Though i have never tried any of these.
Where from I can buy this watch and how many prices in Indian rupees..because amazon is not showing.
You should buy it from official Alba site alba-watches.co.in and searching AL4321X1. Price is Rs. 10,500.
I guess Tiffany blue is in trend now. Not gonna work for long term. Only black blue white watch face is all time favourite
Of course, I agree with you. All colorful dials just spike now and then, but the timeless ones are black, blue, and white.
Did u use any coupon bro if so please mention which might be helpful
REPUBLIC10% is auto applied when you go for checkout. However, i am not sure how long it lasts.

How much is the power reserve?
Not much...after full day of wearing it is giving 6-8 hours. It works fine as long as you keep wearing it, there is no hand winding to jack up the power reserve.
Mine Alba too with same calibre Y676. It's 40 hours power reserves after full day wearing it.
Can I change its strap to jubilee?
Yes definitely you can.
Is it a better option than Casio efr 108d tifanny?

@@travelandwatches which looks better on wrist and can I change Casio bracelet to jubilee?

Bro why do we have to reset date everyday?? I'm planning to buy this so am confused what exactly is the issue you ate facing with this watch?
@@Abhijeet_Mohapatra bc of its poor power reserve, when not wearing it lasts for around 12-13hrs
@vansh4383 Got it. Thank you, bro. So, we have to reset both time and date when we wear it next right?
nice one! couldn't find it on aliexpress
All watches on the channnel are original and purchased from authorised dealers only.
bro, form where can i get that scale model of Redbull livery?!
I got it from the redbull shop in Salzburg itself from where the team comes. I think originals are not available in India.
