5:03 - The “NH35A” movement is referring to Seiko’s NH35A automatic movement. I’m guessing that Boldr may have been hesitant to spell out the movement’s full name just since they probably didn’t want to have “Seiko” on the back of their watch? All that being said, Seiko’s NH35A is a solid workhorse movement. (And in English, one would pronounce “Seiko” as “SAY-koh.”) And this movement is also hand-windable (from the crown’s first position).
@ Bo: it actually says "SII NH35A Automatic Movement" = Seiko Instruments, Inc.'s non-branded version of their in-house Seiko Caliber 4R35 movement. It's very popular amongst microbrands.
It’s not being hesitant, the movements seiko sells are via the SII or Seiko instruments company and the nomenclature they use are different than the ones Seiko uses for it’s own sku’s. NH35 is the proper name, and these days it’s not a downside to have a Seiko movement as the swatch group sells far fewer ETA movements and the main mechanical movement competition are Chinese movements and Sellita.
Canvas straps are meant to get dirty and look rugged, Bo. They make any auto look more like "I was out there" kind of. which is a cool addition to the watch. Wearing watches is the sign of a person who cares about detail.
Hello Bo, thank you for this video, good to see you reviewing an automatic watch. I personally have a few watches, and probably I won't be able to stop adding a few more. My favorite is of course automatic, recently I got a Seiko Turtle SRPC23 with 4R36 movement that performed very accurately (-10 second a month, what a jackpot!), and it really gives my Swiss watches a run for the money! However, I also enjoyed solar-powered analog watches, especially some Seiko watches with plenty of complications such as chronographs, alarm, dual time, etc. Solar watches are basically the next best thing after automatic watches. Stay safe and stay healthy Bo, see you in the next video :)
I read that about Swiss Army Knives somewhere a long time ago, use the small blade for cutting, etc and the save the big blade for foods, I do that I use my big blade to slice fruit, cheese and such. Nice Watch and I don't wear watches.😁 I have the Leatherman Skeletool which is my EDC knife and wear that on me but I keep my Swiss Army Climber in my Camera Bag. LOL I like my Swiss Army knife the best and I got a few knives.
Bo my man, you did this to yourself; welcome to the rabbit hole of automatic watches. 😉 The Nh35A is a solid choice for a good price. I think you could pull off something a tad bolder (no pun intended) Do have look at Gruppo Gamma watches. They also have EU sellers and they RULE. They even have a field watch brand called Venturo. www.mi-watch.it
