Don't listen to him about the relocation of the "mechaquartz" text to 6 o'clock position on the dial. - When the text is below the brand name, the difference in font sizes gives a sense of scale and intricacy which looks sophisticated and precise. Below, next to the model code the difference in font will less pronounced because they are similar in size. - The difference in word lengths of the words RETROVIVO and MECHAQUARTZ traces invisible lines - from R to M to the center of the watch, and on the other side from O to Z towards the center of the watch. This creates an invisible triangle which makes the watch look more top heavy, muscular, tapered. If you remove the text to the position below, you will lose this implied geometry , you'll get "visual weight" bellow and an implied hourglass shape. This is better. All the talk about this or that being "clean" is just a current fad that has low awareness about the importance of detail, scale and geometry in the design. Generally you've made a great looking time piece, field watch feel with Explorer I level of clarity and simplicity. I've subscribed to the contact list. Take what you've made seriously and don't mess with it just because some yt randos have "oPiniOnS" about "DeSigN".
Totally agree about the 'megaquartz' wording. Either removing or relocating it would be so much better and clean! Love that textured fume dial, it's beautiful. Great review mate! You just earned yourself another subscriber! ;)
@@vivalapino4707 instead of removing it entirely, relocating it under 'RV01' would be better. It will make the wording more symmetrical and people are crazy when it's comes to symmetry of things. Two long words at the top of the dial is just a bit too top-heavy. I know people have different taste and preference, but that's what I think a lot of people would generally go for. Nevertheless, this watch is damn beautiful for sure! You guys really did a great job! I'll be keeping my eyes on y'all. Looking forward for new releases in the future!
So simple and elegant. I literally said out loud “holy 💩!” when you said the price. I don’t usually do Kickstarters, but this one almost a no brainer! Thanks for showing it to us. Oh and I personally like the polished bezel.
Great looking watch, proving a design does not have to be a straight rip off 'homage' at this price point. It's clearly inspired by a few watches, but that's fine most watches are. Agree it doesn't need the mecaquartz wording on the front and the logo would be better smaller or better still replaced with a good logo mark. I wish them luck with the launch.
it's a nice looking watch. I don't mind the word mecaquartz on the dial. not crazy about model names that just sound like internal product codes, but it's not a big deal. The price is okay: not great, not terrible.
Wow! looks pure understated class , I agree with omitting the mecaquartz writing as on this watch l think less is definitely more , my kind of watch thanks for bringing it to my attention great video 👍
I absolutely dig the intro music. Its reminds me of old school Warcraft! I like the gold numerals and the almost coffee and cream color dials. The drilled lugs and and strap are nice too! Yes mecha quartz does not need to be there. I like the idea of mecha quartz as you rightfully pointed out... Its the best of both worlds. This is certainly a winner! Take care man!
Nice video as always, I like the way you synchronised the second hands before filming 😎. The price seems about right and they are good looking watches, and I agree, they should remove mechaquartz from the dial. I own three vh31 powered watches and on one of them, the minute hand can move about 1/2 a minute with gravity! It's like there is too much backlash in the gears, accuracy is fine, but once you notice it, it's very annoying. The others I own don't have this issue, so it's probably a duff movement.
Reminds me of an oris big crown. But with a different twist. I rather like the idea of a mecaquarz. And yes that intro music is a bit too over the top.
I don't like the movement, the font of the Arabics, the texture of the dial, and LOATHE the movement. Looks extremely cheap and the "mechaquartz" on the dial is just horrendous. The fonts are so, so, so bad.
I wrote that before you said the price. Holy cow. What a rip. You can get a decent automatic from a new micro brand with more specs and much better looks for the same amount, if not a tad more. This is crazy. If I'm stuck having to buy a cheap quartz watch, Baltany has brilliantly finished watches for $75. I'm actually offended by this offering. Absolutely insane.
What is your major malfunction? If you think the review was sub-par, offer constructive criticism. Or better yet, link your review so we can see how it’s really done.
Thanks for review Miguel! ❤

Hadn’t seen this one out there bro, very clean! Definitely a no brainer for those interested in picking one up. Great review! 😎🙌

@@adk7962 Man this one took me by surprise! So happy you’re supporting them, and thank you for watching!
I really like this one. Also don’t mind having mecaquartz on the dial either. I would love to see a bronze case particularly with the dark dial
Thank you for watching 👍🏼

@@stephengarratt8027 💯
Love the textured dials. I like mecha quartz. Looks like a great all around watch. We will see what they change for production watches.

Great looking watch but no bracelet means no go for me
@@mariog7213 For the asking price I think the leather is a good proposition, but I do like a good bracelet as well. Thank you for watching 👍🏼
@ don’t get me wrong- it’s a good watch but at this point in my collecting phase I just know what I want and I prefer bracelets on this type of watch
