If we started calling it a military GMT all the time instead of a caller GMT people would stop whining about it.
First world problems🤨
Can someone explain the "military gmt" phrase to me? I get caller and flyer. I don't know much about the military.
@@robbbbery
The military goes to other locations and they stay there. They need to know the time where they are and at home, but they normally don’t need to make frequent adjustments.
A caller style works great for people that don’t have to make frequent changes and the date is easier to adjust.
@@Iexpedite1 ah ok that makes sense, thank you!
Prefer the James Brand rendition but I was too late for that.
Ohh boy.
I'm for sure in it.
Just because i missed out on the Tudor North Flag. And it's a GMT.
Love the yellow accent.
Movements, grades of titanium, all reduced to practically nothing in comparison to how it looks and feels. If it looks good, you will want to wear it. Which IMO is the whole point of a watch.
Good watch. But as a modder, that is actually a 200usd watch. But it does look good nonetheless.
Oh no, a modder. You build Ali Submariners with Seiko slapped on it?
There are no equivalent modding parts.
I have both caller and traveller GMTs. The NH34 "Caller" GMT is fine with me as I prefer quick set date. Every part of the regular edition appeals to me over the James colab. Bidirectional bezel with larger 24 hour numbers, better hands and indices, better second hand. Other than grade 2 titanium, it's better all around IMO. That said, I still won't pay $500+ for a Timex.
I’m hating on you so bad right now! You got two really cool Timex watches that I wanted and do t have! 😂
No Timex will ever be worth anything close to $900. They just released a couple of nice quartz watches, one is a chronograph. They look great and cost under $200. 👍
Brilliant watch, thank you very much. I hope your channels grows well 😊
a real beauty but... its way to expensive for what it is... its should be in the 200 range and still you would have a big margin.
I have owned it for about five days and I love it. This will be a keeper for me. Lightweight, strap feels comfortable (and I prefer rubber straps for larger watches like this) so the thickness is not an issue at all, bi-directional rotating bezel is a plus, corlor profile is spot-on, looks cool on wrist. I have no issue with it being an office GMT, it is not that hard to independently adjust the 24-hour GMT hand even during travel, and the quick date set is more convenient and conformative to intuition especially for those who are owning their first GMT watches. I would say I probably prefer it with more traditional lugs instead of the "turtle shell" shape lugs as the latter make the watch wear larger, close to 42-42.5mm, but that's not a big issue.
The issue with Miyota 9075 is that they could be very noisy. I have another GMT watch with 9075 movement, and the rotor winding noise could be very audible, I still find it slightly annoying even after more than a year of ownership.
Seiko killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Only one thing in common between these 2 watches is the TIMEX Brand on the dial. Based on reviews and comments, I think more people are in the traveler GMT type camp even if it meant a bit higher price. I personally didn't like the case design and the bezel on the James Brand version and I don't mind the new Timex looking like a Tudor, but I would only consider it if it had a traveller gnt movement.
My Traska Venturer is so much better than both Timex models on all levels. And btw, my Traska has the Miyota 9075 movement (so it’s a traveler’s GMT) and the bracelet has micro adjustments.
No one has ever heard of or cares about “Traska.” The brand is nothing.
@ozzy1154 this is a goofy argument. Are you buying the watch for yourself, or to impress others who "might know it".
Traska is fantastic!
@@ozzy1154lmao. Traska is top tier microbrand bro. Get educated.
Timex quality just isn’t there for me. I have a couple of their automatics and the 1979. They’re all disappointing and never get wrist time. The 1979 has actual plastic as part of the case. The rotors on the automatics are the loudest of any brand I know. I won’t even go into accuracy…
Definitely not the same quality standard, in fact, at this point you couldn't compare any brand by their l decades old product.
I got mine early this week, l couldn't believe how good it is, hasn't left my wrist since. Another great review!
It is a very good looking watch and I think a caller is the practical choice if you have more than a few watches. Problem is that the GMT space is crowded. I assume Timex will have no issue selling these but I would look elsewhere at the price point for a GMT in stainless.
I like the watch I got from MAMACOO. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
How's your Tiburon, still like it? Sadly there's not many videos on it out there.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
You seem to be very happy with it. Congratulations on your new watch! 😊
I like it but I'll wait until the price goes down. Timex the working man's watch .
Hello, one thing I would like to know is does the Expedition have a screw down crown? Thanks!
Super nice watch.. but they need to slap a different brand on it. Most don’t want a $500+ timex.
This one looks so much better than the James Brand I think. I just wish it was smaller. It’s seems damn near impossible to get 36-38mm chronos and GMT watch’s in the affordable category.
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of MAMACOO. Their watches are of exceptional quality.
Timex releases a 900$ that use 30$ish (retail price btw) movement, now that blew my mind 😂
it looks great tho
I would go for the James Brand!!! I love its freshly rounded „without edges“ pilot style case design, the striped indezes, the long second hand, the greenish color on the gmt hand and the crown, the black bezel with the small 24 numbers on it, the jumping hour hand. For my opinion it‘s worth for, to pay 400USD more than the north. I understand the argument, that it is too much for a timex. But I don’t care, because I would wear the watch for me not for others. The James Brand looks extraordinary unique.
Chris, if you like the north more:“…the dial, the hands etc. write me! I’d buy your JB with pleasure 😉👍🏽
MAMACOO has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals

👍👍👍 Nice Watch and Elegant Watch , best material Titanium Watch introduce by Watch Expert - Watch Chris 👍👍👍
Looks stunning. Timex nailed it again. Might really find myself checking this and getting this
Handsome watch, I think its better looking than the James brand,if it had an option of a different colored bezel that would be great, Not necessarily two colored, single color would be fine. Dark green or navy?🤷🏾♂️
Brown Kevin Martin Shirley Anderson Charles
comparing the two is really a burger vs a steak. Why Timex?
The non limited edition looks great but I wont buy anything Seiko .Shame they hanged the movement.
I like their previous gmt
Re: tapered bracelet, I am of the opinion that everything is a considered choice. If an experienced watch company wants to do a tapered bracelet they will, the question is why. The skeptic in me says the number of ppl who have no preference, tapered vs non-tapered, out weigh those who do OR it was more expensive/not worth it for them to do.
TITANIUM, AUTOMATIC, a TIMEX. under 1000.. NO COMPLAINTS KIDS.
Better be far under 1k. You could get a mido ocean star gmt for under 1k and that is a beautifully finished Swiss automatic gmt
@@blacktrucksflySwiss boy 🤨
thats a lot of watch for humble money.
I liking this black bay pro without the cream lume 😂 but if you consider something like the nodus trailtrekker it really has no right to be this expensive
What is the yellow strap you show please? Thx
Wow Tudor black bay pro vibes
Looks great but the price is way too high for what you get.
What if I tell you I have both and the titanium bracelet from James fits properly on the expedition north.
This or save up for Tudor black bay pro?
Hi. Can you screw down the crown ?
looks better than the JB
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the AMZWATCH we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
Prefer non taper
Bravo to Timex 🎉
I definitely like the new model over the James Brand model. The bezel font is better, I prefer the angled case, and the markers/hands are just more pleasing to my eye. I do miss the internal 24 hour markings that the JB model has on the rehaut though. Timex did post some pics initially showing these had a Miyota, and I was a bit disappointed once they corrected that. I think it's not surprising for the price point, but the JB model did come with a bracelet. Unlike the BB Pro and Explorer II fixed bezel, I do like that this one rotates. Anyway, this is a nice rugged release from Timex and fitting for the Expedition North model line.
I like both watches, but prefer The James Brand version slightly over the Expedition North. Thank you for the direct comparison.
The design of North Expedition is great but I wish they would have used Miyota 9075.
I also like and almost bought. But when I found out it didn't have the better movement I passed.
That’s a lot of watch for not much money. If I constantly traveled the world, having a traveler’s GMT would matter to me. Since I don’t I can deal with correcting the error twice a year.
Another awesome watch review; thanks Chris! Any chance you could review the Lorca Model 1 with the champagne dial? Lorca is headquartered in NYC, so it should be doable. Thanks again.
Hi Chris the watch IS sold out now ? Do you think timex will drop again a second batch ?
This one is just not for me. If it was 100 bucks cheaper and had a titanium bracelet along with is when I would get excited about this.
Like scratches on your watch??? get grade 2 titanium - it marks sooooo easy..................
I love it! Looks great and I bet it will wear like a dream. The one thing I saw which I don't dig is logo and text on the display caseback. I know, it's not a very attractive movement, but either show it or don't show it. Don't put a crystal on the back, then make it hard to see through. Just makes no sense to me - especially when they've branded the rotor.
Very nice looking watch! A bit too thick for my tastes, tho…
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Bababa bah bah nah yea Run run run run run run run away
thats a great looking watch sadly out of my price range
No way timex killed seiko😭 this is so sad
Thanks for this!
Did you try the bracelet from the James Brand on the Expedition North?
Yes, he did. He has a video posted of it on his Instagram
Saludos
Man, I'd choose this blackie over any similar watch (if I liked this "24" design)
Blackie? 🤨
@@BR81-iv6lt What do you think I mean, the blacker version ofc
I have to say that AMZWATCH 's watches are amazing!
38mm and get my money
Bro it has zero lugs
terrible how they destroyed this nice watch leaving the crown without protection frame... it hurts again and again, They don't understand nothing about design
I have one of these sitting in a box in my bedroom, unworn. I'm trying to decide whether this is a keep or return. Your video didn't really help me. On another topic, Lumicast always seems to disappoint. I think it's because the lume is not focused upward from the dial as it would be if it were in traditional applied indices filled with lumed material. So, the lume radiates in all directions instead of straight up.
I like the design but unfortunately the NH34 is useless for travelling.
Junk movement. Other than that it is a great looking watch.
Explain why its a junk movement? In details please🤨
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!AMZWATCH
I believe no man can say no to AMZWATCH 's watches
MAMACOO watch are the best, I say this from experience.
Thank you for making high quality videos!Love AMZWATCH ’s watches
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO
I'm genuinely impressed with how close MAMACOO were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
How much for each of these watches
God!!! AMZWATCH Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
