Never felt so much appreciated as a new viewers. Thanks for the video
Same!!
Wow, I love that Omega. I loved it so much I went straight to ebay and saw they were going for around $3,000 and decided to stick with my £60.00 Seiko 5. Hey, maybe one day.
Many have done the same. Nobody needs to spend $3000 on a watch.
Kuldip Singh Exactly- unless you’re swimming in money, there’s more immediate priorities to take care of in life.
@@mapledoodle5516 you said it !
SEIKO are a very reputable company.
From memory, SEIKO, in particular the Grand Seiko range have repeatedly defeated the over hyped Rolex range in type keeping i.e. only lose 1 - 3 seconds within 12 months.
I bet the Seiko keeps as good if not better time. That’s the main function of a watch, no?
I think you are the first RUclipsr I've ever found that doesn't ridicule beginners! I really appreciate that! Thumbs up. 😎👍
Thanks for clearing that up. I buy nothing but chronographs cuz I just like the way the look. Never knew what they actually did lol
Same brother.
Same here! Loved the way it looked! Bought another watch that displayed the same look but was not functional and this was puzzling :-D
True true, I like the added visual interest.
Lmao, a bunch of man children in here.
Lol
This was such a warm welcome, I feel so happy! Thank you so much you make me twice as enthusiastic to be a new watch-lover!!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel, Patricia! Welcome to the watch world!
Beginner yes, Didn't know enough about Chronographs till buying one. I also thought it was D.O.A. then noticed the inner wheel turning and the watch was keeping time. I'm learning thanks to videos like yours. Keep posting and I will keep "WATCHING"
Bought my first chrono and thought my second hand was broken and was about to go return haha thx for saving me a trip from not lookin stupid 👍
You and The Urban Gentry got me into watches! Recently picked up an Orient Bambino v2 because you both recommended it so much and I love how it looks and feels. Thank you for the video and all your others :)
Same here.
I don’t know how a chronograph works so thank you for making this video. I’m new to wearing watches and wanted to get second one and I noticed that the watch I want have three extra places that track time and thanks to the internet im learning about it.
Getting into the watch game. Love your energy and welcoming attitude. I think there are those that understand our penchant for watches and those that don’t. I love a good, bulky, heavy and beautiful masculine watch.
This Is like just exactly the episode I was waiting for
🙏🙏🙏 means a lot! Enjoy!
I bought my first chrono last year. The timex expedition scout chronograph, and I absolutely love it.
I bought a 1963 seagull after you and another RUclips recommended it not knowing what a chronograph lol, now it’s even more exciting when it comes in
Always great too ask questions if you are unsure and really great that you took the time to make this video for those seeking information. Good on you Jory
Great explanation. I'm also new to all of this stuff regarding watches, I just bought a digital Casio on a whim the other day because it's very cold here in Sweden right now, and it's a bit bothersome to dig out my phone just to look a the time with gloves on and all that, so just moving up my jacket arm a little to see what time it is feels much easier and faster. Then I somehow found my way to a bunch of these videos, and now I feel like collecting more of them, even if I'll probably never own a several thousand dollar one.
Thank you for this useful information. I was actually just like that sub and thought my watch was broken. Appreciate it.
Thank you for this video. My citizen has the sweeping motion. It is very satisfying!
Been curious about trying to expand from my G-Shock GA 2000. Was a little worried about not being able to understand the watch world and your videos are making it easy to digest. Looking forward to hopefully get some chronograph pieces in the future!
Great instructional video Jory...I love that you are helping people new to our hobby. Thank you for another fantastic video :)
So glad you done this video I haven't got a chronograph in my collection yet and I must admit it was partly because I wasn't sure of how they worked. After watching this video I've realised it really is pretty simple so now when I do eventually get some chronograph (Seiko Pogue and Omega Speedy) I will be able to time loads of random things and enjoy using all the watch has to offer.
Heck yeah!!
Hi! I'm VERY green to the watch game and happened to stumble upon this channel. Got myself an SNK805 over the weekend. Anyway, I've always wondered what s chronograph was and thanks to you, now I know. Thanks for the education!
The useful thing about the Omega is that when you are in a vehicle on a road with the kilometres marked by posts, you start the chronograph at one post and you stop it at the next post, based on the place where the chronograph has stopped (For example at nine o'clock, that would be 80 km/h) you've figured out the velocity of the vehicle.
Thanks for the information. Originally, with all of the dials I thought it was some kind of specialized watch, but this video clarified it for me.
I've always liked the look of them but never really knew how they worked. I just know I want one in my collection so I figured it was time to find out what they do. Thanks for helping me out!
Seriously thank you! I was freaking out when my seconds hand wasn't working.
Just recently wanted to start collecting watches. Had no idea what a chronograph was now I’m just amazed. Thank you so much. It will be a while before I can afford to get one but none the less Subscribed.
I always knew what a chronograph is, I just never owned one. Then I became a junkie and bought one. Of course I didn’t research how to use it so I’m wildly pressing buttons. Then the notorious HOW DO YOU RESET ALL THESE DIALS! Lol. Pretty easy once you read the instructions. Great videos! Thanks!
Everybody who have ever owned one, and learned how to use one had an "oh NOW I understand" moment. When it suddenly all starts making sense. How to start, stop, split, reset, zero in, etc. Only two buttons. I love it.
Thank you, I've recently been wondering about Chronographs, starting with a vague idea of what they do. But it helps to see the functionality in operation. Thanks.
The SSC081 looks interesting, but I would argue that it's very, very busy. I'm guessing that with practice you get used to what to look at.
Tnx for the explenations i just got my second watch a seiko chronograph and the video was very informative for me tnks again
Thanks for making this video. I now understand my Bulova precisionist that I received for my 10 year anniversary at work. Thank you
Brilliant just got a tissot seastar in rose gold black rubber strap... same thing I thought the hand was broken but now it's working correctly after watching this .. thank so much
I love that Seiko! This would be very useful for a locomotive engineer for performing brake tests and checking your locomotive speedometer’s accuracy.
I love how the Seiko resets as well. So satisfying to see. But I learned I probably wouldn’t want that one. Because it seems to take too long to start over. If I were to use it as a stopwatch I often would be timing things in quick succession and would need it to reset quickly. Hmmm watch fan drama. 😜
I have a few chronograph watches; a couple quartz movements (including a Seiko SSC017 solar chrono-diver), a Strela Russian mechanical chronograph and a couple meca-quartz movements that blend the two, therefore having the accuracy of quartz yet the smooth second hand and definitive mechanical click of the pushers. Oh, and I guess my new Fieldmaster has a digital chronograph, which is nice as well.
Really, I rarely wear a watch that isn't either a diver or a chronograph and use the timing complication often. One other exception is my mechanical alarm pilot watch, which does show the benefits of a large, uncluttered dial, but also benefits from having an extra little hand for the alarm that can be used either passively as a time marker or as an alarm as intended. Kinda makes me interested in one of those Russian alarm, Flieger type B watches as I've always liked that dial, but rarely wear basic 3-hand watches.
New to the hobby so this video was VERY INFORMATIVE!!!!! Thank you Jory. You always teach me something and make it fun!
You’re very welcome, Jeff!
Another great and informative video. You made it easy for any beginner to understand, well done sir! I love Chronographs, I have about 5. My favourite is my Speedy.
I appreciate it! Thank you!!!
Chronos are my favorite complication to own. Right up until I have to service it.
I didn't know what a chronograph was. I do now. Simple and straightforward video. Just the way I like it.
Hey, i was going through the best deals in the lower end of swiss watches and i seemed to like the swatch trapped series by looks, can you please tell me a little bit about the quality and mechanism of these watches, and suggest something better if possible because tissot seemed to be nice too. Thanks.
Thank you for the advice. I thought of myself as a watch man knowing what a sapphire crystal glass is but I never knew what a chronograph watch does until now. That explains my Invicta Chronograph watch. Like your friend I had the same question.
I like Invicta watches. Had the same issue not knowing what the chronograph was.
I also like INVICTA watches that's how I learned about Automatic watches after buying one
Like the watches you review, this was a great piece. Honest and helpful.
Thanks, man!
Thanks for the video. I just received my LIV watch abs it has their chronograph thing o. It and yes I thought that hand was stuck to😂🤦🏾♂️thanks for showing me how to work it.👊🏽✊🏽
I love watching your videos despite not owning any watches. Hopefully I can get a watch for my birthday.
I knew what a chronograph was, but still learned some things from this video. Also, the Navitimer bracelet looks like the most comfortable thing ever.
Bro, that was awesome....no one has explained it so well.... really really appreciate it
Best explaination of a chronograph ever. Thank you.
Here's another honest beginner that literally found you today and I've been binging your channel. For your analytics, your gshock video brought me to you. Great content man, honest opinions and I need that.
Thank you. My wife and kids got me a citizen night hawk black-out for christmas and i was wandering about that thanks for the video.
Great video, thanks for the tips!
Appreciate the knowledge brother just got an Armani exchange chronograph blue silicone strap watch and could figure out what it doesn't exactly now I know
awesome video im starting to shop for my first chrono soon
Nice episode Jory! Exclusive content as always 8)
Very informative video, keep it up. I have two questions, what if you leave the chronograph hand on the whole time without resetting it? Will it keep on running and act as a second hand or will it stop at some point?
Cool beans, like you said there are more people than one that have no idea like me. Ordered my first automatic this week, went with a Seiko SNK807. Wanted a Hamilton but haven't got a pay check since Feb (sigh) and that was too much. Have a really unique Apple watch from the 1990's, I guess experts would call it a decorator watch. Trying to determine if it is worth anything. Just starting collecting and appreciate your channel.
A little late but this is the exact video I was looking for. Nice.
Newbie interested in collecting :0) you just answered my question! Wonderfully done and some time you and I may need to make an episode on my youtube channel talking shop and teaching a newbie! Excellent stuff! Got a lot to learn and its gonna take a while to train myself to not see the chronograph hand as the second hand. Lol!
Good video I like to see this because I have the same watch but mine is all in black with steel bracelet and I like learning new things about it can't wait till you show the video on how to set the alarm
tnx for ur little brief explanation!
I'm new to watches and actually didn't know how chronograph worked.. Thank you sir
You’re welcome!
I actually got my first chrono watch this week, and I too was confused as well. I kept thinking “Why is the second hand not moving, and the subdial on the right is?” Then I got my “Ohhh” moment after watching this. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Just bought a Bulova lunar pilot and thought that it was busted because the second hand wasn’t moving. Now it all makes sense.
love the way you explain things, finally I understood what is Chronograph 😂
I just learned how to work my new Reactor watch due to this video. Thank you 😂😂😂
Yes! I didn't know, this video was actually useful, thanks
When i press the first button the chronograph hand does nothing but the minute dial keeps rotating fast and when i press the botton button it resets to zero (minute dial), any idea if my watch got a problem? btw i bought it a week ago and it's under warranty.
Question I just bought my husband a Reaction Kenneth Cole watch. If the digital settings are working fine, but the hands are not moving is that a battery issue or did I purchase a bad watch?
That’s just cleared something up for me 😂 thanks man
Thank you for this simple explanation. Much appreciated. "A chronograph is a glorified stopwatch on your wrist." Precisely. That is something I can remember.
He was not the only one! Great video
Hi Jory, This. is good! What about a vid about Seiko Kinetic movement? I think this is a cool mov. even if you want to keep few of them, It is nice feeling when you hear the rotor!! Solar and other battery driven movements appear to be a DEAD watch? I believe the hatred about kinetic is not OK.......
You made this video 4yrs ago and guess what you were right. He wasn’t the only one that didn’t know but thanks to your video now I know.
Thank you rly helped me out
Now i know i want my watch to have that funktion
Got my first one today. I think it’ll take some getting used to.
Thanks for explaining:)
I just got a timex expedition scout chronograph it's my first watch.
me, who doesn't have chronograph, even don't have the money to buy one right now, still watching 😅😅, the passion is real
very helpful man!
What case diameter would you recommend for a 6.5 inch man's wrist.
thanks bro Yess he isnt the only one i wanted to know what a chronograph is too , And its a stop watch lol
Really thanks for the information
Thanks... Just bought an Invicta Chrono. Annddddd, no, had no clue truly what it was. (Gotta love American consumerism :). I got the impression it was just a stopwatch, but this cleared it all up. Its also a tachymeter, lmao, i have to check your library for that. It seems to me to be basically the same thing. Rotate the dial to mark the start of whatever, and track how long goes by? God i loved my simple Bulova. Broken. More to fix than i payed for it. :(
I appreciate the knowledge. Seems a raw deal im only paying a "like" for it
Anyone know what it's called when the seiko watch chronograph moves like that when it resets
Great video. Great energi!
This is something ive always wondered, is there a connection between the slide rules on watches like the Navitimer and Seiko flightmaster and the chrono function?
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the slide rule is the result of pilots wanting a chronograph and a sort of calculator for the functions they'd need. The slide rule can calculate conversions, for example mph to kph, and things that a pilot would need like fuel consumption. I don't think the chronograph is meant to work with the bezel, but they both have functions that'd be useful in a pilot watch.
Very helpful video!
I like your video's and I'm a noob who knows nothing :) Keep up the great work.
Hi Jory, many thanks for this video! I have never owned a chronograph and I was too embarrassed to ask how they work. So I kind of just got stuck with pride and wallowed in my ignorance! A thousand M&M-pizza-brownie-sponge-cakes should be sacrificed at your altar! Thanks again!
thank you for the helpful information
First time at this channel. Great video about the Chronograph, very informational. I didn't know how to read it what the dials were for I just like the way it looks. What are you thoughts on the Invicta Watches....? I have about 5 of them I love the way they look.. Thanks for the info...
How does it work with outer dial which has the directions and how does chrono help in Navigation or real time world of navigation..Thanks
thanks for that. i have never owned a chronograph and was wondering also.
Good video and very informative BUT I still need help. So I have a chronograph watch (I got it off Amazon for like $40). So now I understand how to use a chronograph BUT when I reset my chronograph, the little chronograph hands in the smaller circles both reset to 55 seconds instead of at the 12 o’clock position. I have a second counter and minute counter and like I said, they both reset to 55 instead of noon position. Does anyone know why or how to fix it??? Is it broke?
I’ll stick to timing things with the rotating bezel on my Aquaracer eta 2824 (way2012) perfect for keeping track of an hour lunch break
Cool video man cheers
Great video! TY
Nope 😂 he wasn't the only one 😂🔥 that's for clearing that up 🎆
Hey Mr Time Teller. I cant press my top pusher. I'm using the Citizen Promaster. Any idea why?
Thank you,cool video, information
I have a "Breitling Navitimer", too. A friend gave it to me. He bought it on a beach in Thailand for about 50$ and it has a really cheap quartz movement. But it keeps time better than some of my expensive watches. 😄
That said, yes, I hate chronographs.
Thanks for not making people feel dumb if they are new and don't know.
