I think the hour window is too small for my old eyes. Other than that. This is a banger of a deal, and with the $20 off it's a steal. As far as a non-hacking movement, this is a dress watch, man! If you're worrying about split second accuracy, you're not concentrating on the lovely lass that is hanging off your arm. Take it from an old geezer... dont sweat the split second accuracy.
Vario makes some great straps! Love their leather. I need to pickup one of these now that I've seen it in your video...looks much better than the website photos. You can really get a feel for the texture.
Thank you! I was waiting for a review of this watch for quite some time. Seeing it on video gives a much better impression as the photos / renderings on Aliexpress. But now I have to decide which color. Life is cruel.
Good review, these are nice looking watches and I much prefer an st17 movement to the Merkur Tongji. With regard to non-hacking movements, I'm not worried for watches in a rotation, with the watch stopped, I wait until the second hand is correct, then wind the movement. Once I have the second hand correct (usually within a second) I then set the time as normal and jobs done 👍 Sugess have just brought out a rather nice watch with the same movement, but it's a lot more expensive.
It’s a beauty mate and I take your point but for me, in 2024 I’d prefer to see watches have hacking, just a little bug bear of mine. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Thanks for the great review of a beautiful watch. I always say the Merkur Group probably have some best original designs out of the Chinese Brands. I don’t buy a lot of watches, and the specs just keep me away from Merkur Watches. But definitely down the future, they are on my radar. Thanks!
Beautiful watch. I just wish it was bigger. About being non hacking, mechanical watches aren't that accurate, so if someone wanted to be bang on you'd have to adjust it every day anyway. So in my view unless you have a radio controlled watch, time is a approximate showing of time. I would gladly sacrifice exact time for that dial.

You make a great point mate and I bow down to your superior knowledge, experience and point of view - fair play man 👍👍
👍
👍👍
Beautiful dial! Love this jump hour. I’ve had my eye on this one for a bit…thanks for sharing! Looks incredible with that blue Vario strap!
I’m glad you like it mate and on that blue Vario strap it definitely takes it to another level IMO 👍👍

@WatchWitt they definitely do mate and are a very underrated brand IMO
Got the Gugess version of this watch. I had trouble reading the hour number on dial, think it too small for my old eyes.
I get that mate, these types of watches aren’t for everyone but I appreciate you watching anyway 👍👍

Am glad I could help you make a decision mate and I’m sure whichever one you choose, you’ll love it 👍👍
Buy two

@@WatchtheTime I agree, it is a valid criticism in 2024 👍, but it wouldn't stop me buying the watch if I liked everything else about it.
@dunderhay9169 very true mate 👍👍
Non hacking movements, 24 hour dial on chronos, and ghost date crowns. These aren’t a few of my favourite things.
I hear you mate and I feel exactly the same 👍👍
Thank you for the video and i think is not for me for the price and it is only 5 ATM.
No problem mate - thanks for watching anyway 👍👍
It’s an attractive dial and a clever way to tell time. I would try one out; maybe the green. I’m going to the website.
No problem mate. I’m pleased I could bring it to your attention 👍👍

I hear that mate. I do think that they should improve the specs a little but generally, they offer some great watches 👍👍

You’re the second comment in quick succession that makes an exceptional point, thank you mate 👍👍
That hour window is way too small for my old eyes...even with my specs on 🤓
No worries mate, you’re not the first to say that and I’m sure you won’t be the last 👍👍
What is the size of your wrist?
I have just above a 7’ wrist mate - I hope that helps 👍👍
