As a "FOREX" trader and a sports car enthusiast, I was taken aback by the complaints with the company's name. Actually, that is what intrigued me. Seriously, I can think of many companies with perceivably odd names. Rolex for starters. Anyway, the watch is durable, dependable, and a comfortable wear. I definitely recommend Formex.
I've had one for a few months, non COSC with a blue dial. I think it's an amazingly well made watch, the overall finish and the amazing bracelet put watches costing 3x to shame. It's so good, in fact, that it has really made me question the true value of my more expensive watches. Looks great on my 7.5 inch wrist.
I struggle with the name, but I like everything else about the watch. To me, it sounds like some kind of construction compound. "We're going to use Formex to construct those walls." Excellent review, as usual.
Another winner from Formex. I like this company very much. Initially I pulled the trigger on one of their watches due to how comfortablythey wear. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and durability.
I was reading through the comments and it seems the number one complaint is the name, Formex. Well, I am a car guy and drive a Corvette. The name is what attracted me to the watch. I am glad it did because this is an exceptional timepiece. Definitely worth the price.
Hi Jody, I got mine for the early bird Kickstarter price. With bracelet, the additional strap, shipping and taxes I paid under €600 for the watch. Great value for money! Best regards, Claus
Another new brand for me too . You said 150 gram directly i said with you SWEET SPOT!! ...nice . This this the level of joy and knowledge we get from this channel. Good job Jody.
Great review. I am shopping Formex right now. Went back and watch this video again. It helped me make the decision. I’m going to pull the trigger, and spend more than I’d like to spend. I’m going with the ‘element’ by Formex(Non-chronometer version)...Not chronometer saves a few hundred bucks and as a fellow Scotsman I like saving money!
The case and strap assembly you showed are bang on, I love those patented features! Like you, my friend, the price is a bit of a concern... while it may well be worth it? I suppose I will, for now, simply admire it from afar. I was NOT expecting the Fabiolous Barker sample, brilliantly edited in! Great review Jodie, thanks!
I just love the comments I've seen on YT and on other sites about the name of the brand. That it sounded like a cleaning product or an insecticide. I'm loving it !
I saw this and bought it when it was available on Kickstarter in March. Great looking (mine is the Brown Chronometer version) and great timekeeping. All the bits and pieces on the straps and bracelet take just a little time to get figure out but this is an amazing detailed watch. Competes quite well with many of the major brands and for much less money!
It is very much sounding like an ant product. However it isn't far from Rolex and we don't think Rolex is such a bad name. Goes to show how strange we are
I return to report I purchased one recently (the degrade chrono on black leather) and have noticed that the suspended case is also handy for pulling hair off one's arm!
Formex sounds like a render you put on exterior walls to me. A beautifully built and nicely thought out watch. I love the finishing and especially like the bracelet however the dial fails to excite. Great review as always.
Looks Unreal with all variants an dig the micro adjust and shock absorber thingy. I Love the French Lettering on the dial. You Rule JOMW,,,, Ahahahahaa!!!
The name sounds weird because it's unfamiliar. Rolex could be a roll-on deodorant if it weren't as famous as it is. Formex have made beautiful watch for the price.
Iove the watch and size my Handspan is 260mm, keep all the straps, I would fit a 5 ring Zulu and this watch would replace my victorinox inox, Please keep up with the great job & Cheers from Perth Australia 🐨🙏
Nice review, Jody! I like this watch a lot! I was just checking it out at LIW, and am impressed! I have recently been interested in a Damasko DA37 on a strap. 40mm is the smallest I would buy. 43mm is a nice sweet spot for my 7.5" wrist, and I have several watches in that size with a few being a bit larger. Of course, what really interests me in the Damasko is the ice hardened case! What scares me with the Former is the probability of dinging or even scratching the case! Lol! But; to me, there's a lot to like!
I have to disagree with most re the name and the logo. It's different and refreshing imho. The fact that the name and logo are attached to such a beautifully made timepiece that is obviously as functional as it is pleasing to the eye only gives the name and logo a gravitas that is made more individual by virtue of the company not merely trying to come up with a more 'traditional' name and generic 'classy' logo. Different allied to high quality equals better imho :)
Hi Jody.. I have one of these with the Blue Face (Non Chronometer) on black leather. The workmanship is amazing for the price. I supported Formex in their Kickstarter campaign for this model and I am glad I did. Raphael (CEO) even message all his backers to find out the shipment status of the watch.. amazing guy 👍👍👍
Just talked to Jory from The Time Teller about a collab with you. Cannot wait to see my two favorite watch channels join forces!!! You KNOW it's gotta be called "Just One More Time"!
That watch looks really nicely designed. The machining looks top notch. The name is not great in English, but a lot of microbrands hand meh names. I really respect all the engineering that went into it and the fact that they didn't just copy another obvious design.
@@Nixxtrr You can work out as much as you want, your bone size at the wrist won't change. You can only gain a lot of weight, so fat get's stored there, which increases the size. But I don't think that's the proper solution.
@@P4LL3R jesus, how did you explained that so well?) You litterally said every word i wanted to say. I'm almost sure that you have an experience in workouts.
@@Zeratsu Thanks. Yes, I have some experience ;) And I did my research as I also have quite thin wrists (6.5 inches/16.5cm) and I really like some watches, but I just can't wear 44mm+ watches. About 50mm Lug-to-Lug is the max for me and I prefer around 47mm.
Another great review and a bit of Skee-Lo! What more could I ask for on a lazy Sunday morning. Not sure about the watch though, cant think when I've ever felt the need to own a big toolie dress watch 🤔
Love the racheting feature on the straps. Would consider if 40mm or smaller, which would actually make it a full everyday watch. Overly... "sporty" logo is not great, but probably tolerable.
I'm really struggling to see how those look that similar. The hands are quite different, the indices are different, the date wheel location is different, the case design head on looks different. While some things are just slimmer (the indices) all of it combined makes it look quite different to me.
You and Teddy with the music video, although brief in your case. 🤪 You know what Formex sounds a bit like Victorinox. Similar design touches, especially on the blue COSC. But looks to be a good competitor in that space ( which includes Alpina).
formex Concrete sealer is what comes to my mind in the States working construction.My only gripe is no the screw down crown the rest of the watch is awesome.
Hi Jody, great review and I like this watch. just a little too big for me and the price is a sticking point. but I asked for a none diver and you gave me one. thanks
Formex certainly ticks all the watch style boxes; chrono, pilot, dive and formal/ business looks. Love the Formex Element although at $1,300 - $1,600 it is out of the JOMW range.
Im debating myself wether if get the SPINNAKER Dumas or not, because of the crystal bezel, some folks have broken it and SPINNAKER won't let me buy a spare bezel. What should I do? I absolutely love the octagonal shape of the watch and can't find any other octagonal diver watch. :(
Size is fine - my wrist is 7 inches & 40-43 is what I favor. Think if they went smaller it would be more dressy and less the dress sport combo that makes this unique. Saw this in person at WindUp last Spring. Very impressed. If I wasn’t buying the Aquis I might have pulled the trigger. The name, however, I can’t defend. It sucks. Like Rolex Formex sounds like a cleaner or an anti-acid. Still, how many watch brands really have snappy names? So many sound like grandpa’s law firm.
Nah formex just sounds like a plastic moulding company or something, it doesen't make me think of a nice watch, that being said, this watch is beautiful and unique, I absolutely love it and will need to check one out Asap, in my opinion though their brand name and logo really let's them down, maybe the logo more than the brand name
I was eyeing one of these when they came out lovely looking watch but 43mm! Why make it 43mm 39 40 would have been perfect. Nice bit of tech going on lovely style and finish just 43mm ffs it will fit on my 7" wrist but I just prefer a smaller case. Its good, but its not right ! Great vid as always Jody 😁👍
Like you said - a bit a choice in the size and it would be perfect! I diggs in the same hole as my Longines Conquest and plays in the same price league, so it would be a great addition for me, as I like this type of multi purpose watches which could do anything from beach to opera. ...but even on my 8" wrist I prefer watches between 34 and 40mm...
I love these. Is it necessary to have all that adjustment, I don't know. But I like the idea of it. Especially on a large 43 mm watch. I wonder if sand gets stuck in the moving parts
Has some Seiko SARB DNA to it. Just something I can't pinpoint. But the price tag doesn't match, so forget that thought. It's like a sportier and more solid (modern) Zenith Defy.
Fully agree with everything you said, can't do much about the name but the LOGO DESIGN is the real SHOCKER! I will gladly design a new logo for them free of charge because the watch overall design deserves much better!! (Awesome review, loved it)
Another cracking review Jody. This watch has always been of interest since I saw Armand review it a while ago. I was a bit weirded out by the suspended case and was not a fan of the hex screws either. Although the Royal Oak seems to be getting away with that just fine. Prefer the chronometer versions dial so it’s a bit of a shame you don’t get that if you buy this one (super accuracy is not something I need). Shave off 2mm from the case size I agree would be more saleable. But I too can’t help but like it very much, I keep looking on eBay to pick one up used but no luck so far. Thanks for ‘sparking’ my interest again. He he 😁
I am another who has had this watch (actually the blue dial automatic) for a few months, with both the bracelet and leather strap, and I think highly of it. The name doesn't bother me; the case suspension doesn't hurt anything, and even if it might not be a necessarily useful thing, it is something to giggle around and waste a few moments with when there is nothing else happening
I really like it, but this one perplexes me. How many of these are they selling at this price point? I wonder how I've never heard of them. Jody, can you send it over to me for a bit of a try-out?
Lol Jody bang on. Towards the end I was gonna mention about the brand name. Such a waste bc had the name not been that, it would've made quite a bit of budget watch collectors very happy imo. I get the reason for the name, just internationally esp US market Formex sounds a bit cheesy and even rhymes a bit with RolEX.
Really like this watch, it would go towards the top of my wish list, but for one thing... the logo on the dial. It look like a logo for a protein powder. (This is the edited part... I wrote this about half way through the video, so snap)
Hi Jody , another great review . I just want to say the name don't bother me as long as the watch is awesome and by the looks of it the watch is pretty good , I wear my watches low on the wrist so this would probably wear well for me and because I have big wrists I think the 43mm will look good so I guess I better start saving for one hahaha . Cheers ....
Never thought I'd hear Skee-Lo on this channel. Absolute tune though. As for the watch, I completely agree about the size. Also to me the name sounds like some plastic or resin composite.
@@JustOneMoreWatch I know it's crazy isn't? You know you're getting old when stuff like this is classed as classic or old skool. I personally think that rap peaked in the 90's. Maybe not with Skee-Lo. But the likes of 2Pac, Biggie etc. I regularly find myself saying (un-ironically) there's no skool like the old skool 😆 There's only a handful of rappers now I really listen to. Joyner Lucas, J. Cole, Anderson .Paak, A.F.R.O are some of them.

40mm would have been ideal, the spring loaded case is a great idea.
Strange brand name though, kinda cheapens such a nicely made watch.
Wow, what a watch. The level of engineering and thought put into the design is amazing, especially for the price.
The engineering is impressive but the name is a spectacular let down.
I’m french and to me the brand name sounds like kitchen appliances or some comfy shoe patent
If Fortis and Timex had a baby......
...and Rolex as big brother
Armand R hahahahahahah
I’ve had mine since May. COSC certified, brown dial, curved-end black rubber strap. Pay the extra money for the certification and the dial.
Another winner from Formex. I like this company very much. Initially I pulled the trigger on one of their watches due to how comfortablythey wear. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and durability.
Love the shape of the case and the clean dial, not a big fan of the screws on the bezel and that crown. The bracelet looks absolutely gorgeous.

In Spanish, the name sounds like a cement mexican company, at least for me.
Yo pensé en insecticida
It's actually the name of a Mexican subsidiary of Chevrolet. They make the chassis for Suburbans and Yukons XL in a Coahuilan factory.
The brand name is just fine. The watch looks amazing.
Another new brand for me too .
You said 150 gram directly i said with you SWEET SPOT!! ...nice .

their logo literally looks like a 30 dollar brand.......such a shame. so much effort to be thwarted by sucha silly thing
Yep. Looks like it was made using Microsoft word
Daniel Zaman it reminds me of the old Russia logo for some reason though.
Definitely a case where a simpler sarif, sans-sarif, or cursive font would do much better.
@@briang3598 even just a sharp logo would have done this watch wonders.
The logo really cheapens the watch
Is sent almost $900 worth of watch for free.

Why not oil damped or air adjustable suspension for the watch case ? And yes , sounds like a condem brand . Other than those , pretty slick Rick .
This one is so nice. Many clever ideas, price is very good for what they deliver. Thanks for reviewing this one!

Almost bought one 2 years ago. “13:08” was priceless.
Great view! Very nice watch, but I also wish it was smaller.
It looks like a much larger Casio Edifice EFV-110D to me
That is a great little watch.
But who makes one that splits the difference at such a quality? Please let them just make a 40 mm and be done with it...
I'm really struggling to see how those look that similar. The hands are quite different, the indices are different, the date wheel location is different, the case design head on looks different. While some things are just slimmer (the indices) all of it combined makes it look quite different to me.
But for men....
You and Teddy with the music video, although brief in your case. 🤪 You know what Formex sounds a bit like Victorinox. Similar design touches, especially on the blue COSC. But looks to be a good competitor in that space ( which includes Alpina).
It's a nice piece. I do agree with the below that the brand name isn't ideal but it is quite a better name than "Ball" :)

Hmm. It feels like the watch is missing a few screws on the front bezel. Instead of 4 there should be 8 hex screws. What do you think?
If they made this in a 38mm I'd pull the trigger instantly. colour me intrigued by this brand! Your video is the first I have heard of them.
Is the AR coating on the inside or outside or both? Thanks, Jody!
Nice looking original watch
What a gorgeous piece! But it would make my wrist look small, if only there was a 40-41 mm with the same weight...

I just want to say the name don't bother me as long as the watch is awesome and by the looks of it the watch is pretty good , I wear my watches low on the wrist so this would probably wear well for me and because I have big wrists I think the 43mm will look good so I guess I better start saving for one hahaha . Cheers ....
Would you please consider reviewing the carnival chrono from AliExpress? Seems very interesting based on the reviews
Never thought I'd hear Skee-Lo on this channel. Absolute tune though.
As for the watch, I completely agree about the size. Also to me the name sounds like some plastic or resin composite.
Love the tune. Got a shock when I saw how old it is/I am!
@@JustOneMoreWatch I know it's crazy isn't? You know you're getting old when stuff like this is classed as classic or old skool.
I personally think that rap peaked in the 90's. Maybe not with Skee-Lo. But the likes of 2Pac, Biggie etc. I regularly find myself saying (un-ironically) there's no skool like the old skool 😆
There's only a handful of rappers now I really listen to. Joyner Lucas, J. Cole, Anderson .Paak, A.F.R.O are some of them.
Nice piece. Logo of this case watch reminds me od Tissot Visodate
