Nice review, thanks, and a beautiful blue Helix Ascent! Regarding long response time: I guess, Erebus were completely overpowered by the sheer amount of ordered models in connection with the first batch. They just were overtaxed and weren't able to engage enough trustworthy folks out of family and friends who helped to dispatch several thousands of watches during the first two weeks of the launch. If they had to ensure full speed response during peak times, their product simply were offered at thrice the price. Regarding bad movement: This was bad luck, yes. Enjoy this beautiful piece 💙
Yeah, I understand the difficulty and I hope Erebus is able to keep up with increasing customer service demands as their business grows. Thanks for watching!
Nice choice ; ) Took me about 4 seconds to pick the blue helix on an 'O' bracelet though lol You can get 3 to 4mm of adjustment on the 7mm and 10mm links before needing to use the clasp adjustment. I needed to use that to get the watch to fit me. It also means the clasp is in the middle of the 5 positions so its ready to go if my wrist changes sizes due to heat etc.
You're more decisive than I am! Yeah, the bracelet adjustment is great on this watch. I need to use the microadjust clasp often as the wrist shrinks and swells. Thanks for watching!
@@worthwhilewatches I sometimes buy a watch before the video has ended lol. It's so important to size the bracelet properly by manipulating the part links so that the micro adjust can be in the middle ready to go in or out. Did you understand what I meant by having 3-4mm on the bracelet? From stock you can reduce the bracelet as follows: 7mm, 10mm, 14mm, 17mm, 20mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm, 34mm....... People who think they are half links will only have: 7mm, 10mm, 17mm, 20mm, 27mm, 30mm, 37mm........
Yes, I know what you mean. I do try to get that middle of the clasp fit for adjustment either way, and this bracelet allows for that (but as it turns out, I didn't need the half links to get that perfect middle of the clasp fit). Too many bracelets have long links, no half links, and only 2 or 3 clasp holes, which just isn't enough. Thanks again.
good video. If you keep it up your subscriber count will rise quickly. One quick criticism that I may have is that there could be more cuts throughout. Occasionally it felt odd looking at you speaking directly into the camera for extended periods. Even if you just reused clip, it would make it better. Keep it up though!
Thanks for the great review. I love my Ascent (white enamel on J Style). Sorry your watch had to be repaired. That always leaves a bad taste, but glad it was handled. My only regret is that I think I wish I had gone with the green fume. Thanks again!
Based on the movement's performance, it sounds like there was a magnetization issue. As much of a fan as I am of Jody, the offerings thus far from Erebus haven't really grabbed me.
I pre ordered the origin and ended up with a phantom shipment being created by them. This lead to me paying import duty and tax on the wrong consignment. In the end I had to pay this twice and was left to argue this out with the shipping company with little support. Just to make matters worse when my origin arrived it wouldn’t run and I had to do a warranty replacement. To this day I rarely wear this watch as it just reminds me of a bad experience which is a shame. I am not saying Erebus don’t make great watches and it was their first watch, but I am just pointing out that a watch can remind you of memories and my Origin does that, just in a not so good way.
8:36 that is why I am a loyal customer of Islander Watches ☝🏻. Simply the best.

Great review! I ordered the red helix and hope to receive it early next year.
Your advice for customer service was perfect, by the way.
Thanks! If the red helix had been available at launch, I very well might've picked that one. Enjoy it, and thanks for watching!
Informative, balanced review. Thank you!
Glad I found your channel my friend. That was a very nice review 👍👊
Glad you're here. Thanks for watching!
Great review! Made me a subscriber.
I really like the watch but would still prefer my blue SM SN0144 - which I got for 50 % the price of the Ascent
The SN0144 is fantastic. Thanks for watching!
Clean work bro
I have own the black helix that's been great. no issues
Nice! The helix pattern is very cool. I haven't had any issues either since getting this one back. Thank for watching!

Just ordered one of these (red helix) - wil be annoyed if it has to go for repair when I receive it - fingers crossed all will be ok :)

Yeah, the green fume was in my top 3 or 4. Such a tough decision! Thanks for watching!

Sorry to hear that. I know what you mean. Maybe with time you can form some new memories with the watch? Thanks for watching!
"That's something you can't unsee". Yes, you're absolutely right. Thanks a lot. 🤬🖕😭
Sorry! 😮
