That Christopher Ward C63 GMT is an excellent value. I've handled pretty much every one of their watches at their new U.S. showroom. Although the 39mm would be more my size (I'm quite tall), the 36 or 39 in this line is great. The quick adjust built into the clasp on that bracelet is extremely clever, and I wish more butterfly clasps could do that. The thing I like about the dragonfly blue version is it definitely stands out from the likes of the Explorer II. It is attention getting without being ostentatious. They even color matched the date wheel, so you know they're sweating the small details.
I hear you with the key segment of this video. For years I tried minimizing my key load. And then I discovered finger ID door locks and electric vehicles. Now I have zero keys!!!!! I do hide a physical key under a rock by my front door(don’t tell anyone). I totally love a NO KEY LIFE. Also, minimal wallets are great. I never met one I liked, so I started making my own. However, now with digital pay and my state allowing digital driver’s license I am almost home free. The only thing I end up carrying now a days is my phone and Apple Watch.
8:14 as a graphic designer I can tell you that me and all my peers have favorite colours and we use them in our work and personal lives with joy. Investing in a favorite color gets you places!
Howzabout a pre-interwebs/ pre-smartphone EDC set up: wallet, keys, handkerchief, pocket knife, wristwatch, bracelet, a ring or two, maybe a lighter and a cigar cutter and that is it. Oh, and only pay with cash. Thus you are far less encumbered, The Man can't trace your minute to minute whereabouts and you're not walking around always "on call" like you think you're mister special. Anyhow, great videos as always, Brock.
The CW Sealander C63 GMT is great watch. I have in same dragonfly color 39mm. Very comfortable and versatile watch. Also a strap monster. Can be paired with any type of straps, if a stock consort bracelet become boring.
Alright now for a comment about the video. I would really like to upgrade to those key accessories. Carabiners just don't do it. Also, can't wait for the watch box review. Love a good watch and knife box. I've had a drop one since 2019 and I don't know what I would have done without it all these years.
I haven’t personally owned one, but look into Enso for rings. It’s a rubber ring with a metallic finish that should be more comfortable since it can stretch when your fingers swell throughout the day
I have the iPhone 14 Pro and no desire to upgrade. The watch case looks magnificent since I plan to add three new automatic watches. FYI, the best breath mint to have if you are not a fan of chewing gum is Altoids.
that story about the iphone 13 mini resonates with me, and I'm glad you didn't upgrade. mine's a somewhat extreme case since I plan on replacing my iPhone 12 mini's battery after taking it to the apple store and receiving a 700+$ quote.
I still hold my mini 12 256gb… a small beast and charging it twice a day is not a problem to me.. size matters, and the smaller you carry the more comfortable you will be.. my Casio oak in yellow and my omega moonwatch snoopy are the two watches switching depending on the case
My iPhone 11 Pro is still trucking along after almost 5 years. I agree there’s no need to upgrade every year or two. Though at this point its battery has degraded significantly, so I’m looking to upgrade to the latest soon. But, 5 years is a good run for a phone imo
Would love your thoughts (either extended in a longer video/long term) on the CW watch. I’ve been eyeballing that for so long and would love your take after a while. Seems like they have been sending them out to peeps for a week or two here or there and then having them send it back. Does this apply to you? Regardless, nice video!
I dropped my mini 13, and had to get a 15. It is a little too big. I do really like the extra battery life. Less battery anxiety. Also, can we get a company that shrinks car fobs?
@@BrockMcGoff I have looked at the internals of my fob, and there is plenty of wasted space (even with the big chips they use). If I ever get a 3d printer, it is going to be my first hardcore project.
Love the video! I was looking for a duffle bag and this video was perfect, For sure I will take in consideration the Nomad one. I was looking for one I could lock since some times I travel by myself, and I wanna lock the bag so I can use the airplane restroom without worrying. But it has been harder than I thought, most bag doesn’t have 2 zipper or the zipper doesn’t have the space to fit a lock.
Yes repare shops are totally underrated, including laptops. Don’t trust Geek Squad either, they charge an arm and a leg plus they push you into paying an expensive insurance you will never use. I had issues with my phone and laptop that the local repair shop fixed fast, cheap and easily.
@@BrockMcGoff I’ve come across them in recent months and plan to purchase shortly. I too have a small wrist and based on my research, the quality is excellent for $ 200 ish . Looking forward to your video. Great work as always
@@BrockMcGoff "are johnston and murphy shoes any good?" .... no just kidding. but i felt like you werent posting as often as you used to. like once a month over the last year. but ok . mo worries. i am happy

13 mini gang! Hate that they won’t be making it anyone.
Totally missed my chance to grab one when it was still available. Phones now are like "phablets" years ago.
OG 12mini here, shame so few of us bought the smaller phones!
@@hakrynzsteadily moving back towards having a brick in the pocket…sad
I loved my 13 mini, but the battery was terrible, I had to get it replaced twice due to how bad it had degraded
@@GermanCarGuyMN most iPhones nowadays sadly://

You need to look into Maui Jim sunglasses. They’ll blow your mind. Top tier lens quality and durable frames in a variety of shapes.
Will do!
I second that, I only wear Maui Jim’s after always wearing ray ban, Persol, spy and a few other brands. Lens on the MJs are second to none!

Love my 13 mini! will not get ready of it!
Always been mindful of my small wrists, just got the bracelet you mentioned. It’s a great touch!

THE IPHONE SE 4 SHOULD BE releasing in march LIKELY having 13 mini form factor with iPhone 16 internals 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That would be amazing! The last SE was underwhelming.
Replace the SE with a mini version? I’m in.
Good luck finding a Radio Shack. 😂
Fantastic content as always. I loved the radio shack calculator recommendation.
Glad you liked it!
Great video! Excited to try the Nomad sling. Clearly the star of this edc is the pocket calculator though
Always nice to hear from a fellow man of culture 🥂
Great video as always. O&U.
Un abbraccio!
T.
p.s. What is the width/thickness of the Franco bracelet out of interest?
2.5mm
Get a silicone ring if you think they are uncomfortable. Very comfortable.
Heck yeaahhh, right to repair ftw
Where the hell is the link to the Radioshack Solar Calculator?
Somewhere in the wayback machine 🤷🏻♂️
Good morning Brock 👋🏼
Morning!
11:50 - 12:42 had me laughing 😂😂
The watch is kinda a Milgauss homage crossed with a gmt. Nice watch tho.

Wish I would’ve bought the 13 mini when I had the chance
I seriously thought about buying another one for when mine eventually bites the dust...
Gold membership for the zoo..classic. My equivalent is my National Trust (UK) membership card.
Great review! Do you have any concern with that snap magnet on your phone and your watches being affected?
I haven’t heard of anyone having problems (and haven’t had any myself).
@@BrockMcGoff good to know, thanks! I get a bit weary with having magnets near my older mechanical watches.
I dropped my mini 13, and had to get a 15. It is a little too big. I do really like the extra battery life. Less battery anxiety. Also, can we get a company that shrinks car fobs?
Tiny car fobs is such a good idea!

For wallets, once you try a Lost Dutchman Franklin, nothing else really compares.
"In my formerly modest opinion..." 😁😁
I was wondering if anyone would catch that 😏
@@BrockMcGoff that was genius
I love my iPhone mini 13
Mini phones gang
I'm not an iPhone user, but I still use my S10e, one of Samsung's smallest and best flagships.
When it comes to wallets, I never bought any other brand after discovering Bellroy

Hi Brock! I hope you are doing well. Where is Modest Man?
You too! I sold TMM last year. Made a video about that story if you’re curious.
Have u tried Vaer watches ???
Yes! I’m actually working with them on a video for October. I’ve had their C3 for a while and am testing an A12 too.
You?

Is it safe to use a magnet on electronics? Thought it could damage the insides
Seems like a lot of phones have magnets in them these days (like any MagSafe device), so it must be okay?
I love your voice!!!
I’m still on my iPhone 8! 👴🏻
Radioshack in 2024?
I wish…
They still exist in Alaska
I love my mini 13 I having the Same problem
thought on gshock?
Great watches! I wish they made a smaller version, though.
Im not sure i trust using a carabiner with the magnetic key fob, i feel like id be constantly paranoid about it detaching
"80085" on the calculator huh?😏
😎
Hi Brock, most chewing gums contain plastic (listed in the ingredients as "gum base"); you might want to consider plastic-free gum.
Interesting! Do you think this “gum base” is harmful?
@@BrockMcGoff Yes.
💙💙💙🇩🇴
