I am a small wristed lady and I have had the black one for several months and I really enjoy it. It is bulky but I can pull it off because it is so light. It's just fun. Makes me think of the Greem café in Seoul every time I wear it.
Got mine today. Real happy with it. Had to pay the new higher price of £175 but still worth it. At last a watch that the whole family like and approve of ! A perfect holiday/fun watch which doesn't break the bank. ( Buying in UK needed an additional £41 duty as it came from the Netherlands (EU) ) A bit of a sting in the tail but, I can't wait to wear it to the pub amongst all the desk divers and wait for the comments. Happy days..............
That was fun, but I noticed two things that are even more fun: a great t-shirt and look at the lume on that watch in the first few seconds of the video, the one you're wearing, Jody! Wow!
Thanks a bunch, liked the look and entered my email address for "let us tell you when it's back in stock" - Next day it is and another watch I don't need is on its way! 😮
I don’t think it would get much wrist time for me but I love that these exist! The excellent video title says it all really, it is a novelty but as novelties go it’s a fun, very well executed and totally unique looking watch! And the price isn’t ridiculous either. It’s probably more than I would pay for it personally but it’s far less egregious than something equally disposable and gimmicky like the MoonSwatch which had people fighting in the street for the chance to buy one a few years ago 😂
Art is supposed to make you feel something and this absolutely makes people feel things. I'd wager that more often than not, it'll make people smile, and that's what it's really about.
That's the kind of novelty watch I can get behind for summer fun. I love wearing my transparent Gshocks in the summer (but I wear them year round) and my brightly colored bands. This kind of watch is a total conversation starter. Also D1 Milano's normal automatic watches are pretty nice. They were around before the PRX and were a great non-pagani option for the design. My quartz PRX is less comfortable but looks far more expensive. I wear the PRX to work events quite often because it slides under a sleeve and looks great without looking like a Rolex/Omega/Etc that people would recognize.
💡use semi permanent markers to " modify" as desired and required . The future is here, and it's paint by numbers watches. Looks like a fun novelty that I don't need to own to appreciate.
I like it. It's a statement piece and a 'don't take myself too seriously watch'. I would giggle to myself every time I see it on my wrist, and it would probably be the only watch in my collection that anyone notices, to be honest.
A good friend of mine has spray painted 2 cars to look like they are drawings, and like this watch, I can appreciate them but wouldn't want it for myself.
I love it. I'm not going to get one, but pretty neat. Polycarbonate is pretty durable but I highly doubt that the rubber coating and printing will be able to take much abuse. Most coatings get tacky and peel over time. I feel like the hands not looking hand drawn is a mistake. I'm sure a custom handset is more expensive to produce but that really stands out with everything else not being perfectly straight.
Ha I was wondering if you’d review this. I think this is quite a step above novelty-maybe “concept” is more accurate. Lets face it , the watch industry is VERY conservative design wise so this kind of watch is welcome. I like it and would definitely wear it.Great review as usual
Love the shirt, Jody! This is a Swatch competitor. I do like it. I’d love to see it as a wall clock too! That said, I own a banana made of cement. Banana Concrete. 🍦
Loved the look and thought it was fun ... but "quartz" wasn't mentioned until 4:27? I'm not necessarily a quartz vs auto snob, but it is nice to know that little detail from the get-go.
It's an incredible looking concept, if I ever pick up an analogue G-Shock I might attempt to mod it like this. What does bother me is that the watch face is noticeably more poorly drawn. This is intentional but looks off compared to the cleaner but still hand-drawn lines everywhere else. Especially as the face like an example of how not to draw from a basic beginning course, I wish this wasn't as distracting to me. If it wasn't for that, a good candidate for a daily for me, it's a conversation piece and suits my personality.
👍Well I’m in. Plus like you have been looking at this for some time and I have to say I LOVE IT. Yup a novelty through and through, but then watches should be fun and this is without a doubt. Brilliant and thanks for reviewing it Jody, I shall be looking out for a flipper erm… I mean pre-owned specimen. 😉
Curious, but don't care for it - except perhaps for wearing it on Halloween dressed as Michael Keaton in the movie Beetlejuice. Durable? You can repair it with a Sharpie maker when the lines fade or wear off. I suppose that's a plus!
This one only looks good on paper. :P
Boom tish!
Ha!!! You could sketch it
Yeah why not 😂conversation peace, I dig it 😎..now I want one.!!
Ba dum tss!
looks like you stepped into the a-ha take on me music video
Spot on!
Beat me to it! 😆
Oh yeah! Indeed! So it's an 80's watch! :)
😂😂😂 🤣✌🏻
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Love the George Orwell shirt
He's walking on thin ice wearing this in Australia.
Victoria especially
👊
Timely, these days. Australian, the USA, Britain, Canada - all in desperate trouble.
@@Apokathelosis why
This looks like a standard Star Wars stormtrooper issue.
Which was drawn by a 8 year old
I don't hate it. It grows on you. Love the hand drawn look of the circle and indices.
I am a small wristed lady and I have had the black one for several months and I really enjoy it. It is bulky but I can pull it off because it is so light. It's just fun. Makes me think of the Greem café in Seoul every time I wear it.
Yes! I was trying to remember the name of that cafe all the way through the video. Thanks 🙏
The perfect watch to wear while listening to Aha Take On Me. It is pretty cool, I'm sure SKMEI will make a homage of it within weeks.
That is absolutely bonkers. Brilliant idea and well executed. I don't think I'd ever buy one, but I love the fact that it exists.
Love the shirt!!

I am glad I am in EU :)
This is what I like about the watch world - so many different options for design and application of aesthetics - love this one
1:32 made me raise my eyebrows for a couple of seconds there
Well…it is different. Won’t likely see that coming at you on a sidewalk. Definitely a fun occasional piece. Dig the shirt! Cheers!
Yes! That's fun and definitely needed in the space.
That was fun, but I noticed two things that are even more fun: a great t-shirt and look at the lume on that watch in the first few seconds of the video, the one you're wearing, Jody! Wow!
Casio with a tilt activated EL backlight?
“Make Orwell fiction again” great t shirt. 👍🏽
Thanks a bunch, liked the look and entered my email address for "let us tell you when it's back in stock" - Next day it is and another watch I don't need is on its way! 😮
lol I expected to hate it but when you took it out of the box , wow! So cool!

As Duncan Bannatyne is wont to say "I'm oot".
Art is supposed to make you feel something and this absolutely makes people feel things. I'd wager that more often than not, it'll make people smile, and that's what it's really about.
Thanks for reviewing this watch! Very interesting watch.
The lug-to-lug kills it for me, for better or worse 😂
Amazing design! In my opinion it’s very hard to create something new in watch’s design nowadays, but this item is absolutely different!
Getting stormtrooper vibes especially the strap 😂
Dunno about the watch, but I'm in for your t-shirt! 👍
I’m a Kid in a candy store for this video, thought this thing was neat and the t shirt 👍🏼yes
Would look great in the summer with white trainers and a white T-shirt
That watch is hilarious, it made me smile. I'd have one in my collection, but at $60, not $200.

The overhead shot made it look like when you do virtual try on of watches or glasses, what an interesting effect.
I bought mine today and I am really looking forward to it. It's the logical predecessor of my Casio GA-2100MNG "Manga".
Moon Swatch! I laughed out loud. 😂😂😂
Visually, it is a looker takes me back to primary school and my drawings ..
I actually love it. I'll pick a homage version up for $20 when they eventually hit aliexpress.
Jody, your shirt is AWESOME! 👍🏼
And this watch is super-cool too! 2 bills might be a bit much for it, but for $100 I'm all over it!
I like it it looks like something out of an 80s rock video or the old 60s Batman series
Surreal is an understatement!
These are so cool! I love the 3D effect. This takes my Timex x Keith Haring easy reader to the next level!
Pre-ordered the Gshock CasiOak Manga Theme instead for cheaper price.
It really does look like you are wearing a piece of paper on wrist. Really nice effect.
I both like it, and get the kitchyness of it as something that might run out or need wrist naps to appreciate again.
I saw someone else mention the movie Tron . I can see it and I really like it.
💡use semi permanent markers to " modify" as desired and required . The future is here, and it's paint by numbers watches.
Looks like a fun novelty that I don't need to own to appreciate.
This is incredible. I would wear this to a hungover breakfast at chateau Marmont for sure. Love it.
I am both happy this watch is getting some much deserved attention. But I am also sad it will continue being impossible to get 😢
Interesting; looks like it was created in Balsamiq, which is an app used for low-rez UI prototyping.
I would like to own one. They are definitely in the fun watch category, but that's what I want them for.
Must say that your new studio is just so beautiful and fantastic! 😊👍🏻
I like it.
It's a statement piece and a 'don't take myself too seriously watch'. I would giggle to myself every time I see it on my wrist, and it would probably be the only watch in my collection that anyone notices, to be honest.
I like this a lot. Now if only I can find one.
A good friend of mine has spray painted 2 cars to look like they are drawings, and like this watch, I can appreciate them but wouldn't want it for myself.

Didn’t Bvlgari do something like this? Anyhow I love it. It’s like I’m living in a comic book.
Yes, and they’ve just launched a new version!
i got the milano with gun metal small seconds (commando)
Why?
Your T-shirt is perfect as usual. I love the watch!
Great for the animation and 2D cartoon lovers.
I think it is a fun watch. Every watch club should buy one and pass it around to members for a bit of fun.
Great Tshirt.
I think I would have to be reading a Far Side cartoon to wear this watch.
I like this watch! Seems difficult to get hold of, though.
Amazing T-shirt 👌
Well at least we know what a Swatch / AP collaboration will look like. 🤔. I actually think I like it. God help me…
Very Tron-like, I'm on the fence with this one 🤔
Reminds me of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo with “Pencil Sketch” dial. Although this one looks better...
Love it only if it’s much smaller
It will certainly be a conversation piece..Love it or hate it.
I love it so much. I would never wear it because I’d want to keep it pristine. It’s a real Catch-22.
Ha I was wondering if you’d review this. I think this is quite a step above novelty-maybe “concept” is more accurate. Lets face it , the watch industry is VERY conservative design wise so this kind of watch is welcome. I like it and would definitely wear it.Great review as usual
They are back in stock, just ordered one 😅
White or black?
@@aw2242 white
Love the shirt, Jody!
This is a Swatch competitor. I do like it.
I’d love to see it as a wall clock too!
That said, I own a banana made of cement. Banana Concrete. 🍦
Cool, fun n quirky a definite 🎉🥳piece
Loved the look and thought it was fun ... but "quartz" wasn't mentioned until 4:27? I'm not necessarily a quartz vs auto snob, but it is nice to know that little detail from the get-go.
I guess seeing sub $200 2 minutes in would have been another clue ...
I never liked that Tissot. Now that it is presented alongside the Sketch it looks wonderful.👍
Ha! Savage. Love it.
I like it! I would definitely wear this if I were still a teenager.
Aww.. crap.. like I’ve not had enough trouble obtaining one as is😆
I like it, I think it's really cool!
Current sold out, but I love it... On the waiting list 😅
I think it’s really cool.
I would own one.....Falls within my appetite similar to Mr. Jones watches...
It's an incredible looking concept, if I ever pick up an analogue G-Shock I might attempt to mod it like this.

Let's just say unique, and leave it there
I think its fun like most Swatch. It would be even better at the price with a Timex Indiglo movement
I like it. Not sure I see myself seeing it though
Curious, but don't care for it - except perhaps for wearing it on Halloween dressed as Michael Keaton in the movie Beetlejuice. Durable? You can repair it with a Sharpie maker when the lines fade or wear off. I suppose that's a plus!
Luvvin' that "T" Jody............... says it all............... Oh, brill video as usual....... have a great weekend Mate.
Doood - the real novelty would be a cardbox watch looking like titanium 😊, this is just creative coating.
I think it’s bloody brilliant!
Not sure why they'd skip out on the minute markers, I don't think it would have hurt the design.
I like the watch, great video.
Yes to the shirt. Hard no to the watch.
there was a winamp skin back in the day that did the same thing
i rather like that idea on a watch
The watch to wear when you're playing Borderlands.
If it was automatic I'd buy it in a heartbeat lol. That's Mr Jones level unique.
The white version looks like it came straight off a stormtrooper’s wrist.
The D1 Milano Tron
I love it! 💓
There used to be an old Kids show in the 90s called zzzap! there was a section on it called Smart Arty, those who know ;)
